CH. 6 – I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

"So what do u guys want ?" Donna the waitress said as she took out her notepad.

"Ill have a veggie burger and a sprite." Chelsea said.

"Ill have fish and chips, and a pib.." Jeff said after Chelsea.

"Ill have a cheeseburger, and a coke." Andre said.

"Ill have one too, and a sprite." Raven said after Andre.

"Okay, You guys should get your stuff in .. 20 minutes or so." The waitress said as leaving the table.

20 minutes later.

"Here you go you guys, veggie burger and sprite for you, fish and chips with pib for you, cheeseburger and a coke for you, and another cheeseburger but with a sprite for you cutie." The waitress said as putting down the food for the four, and giving them their bottles of ketchup and mustard, salt, and pepper, and straws.

"Will that be all ? Anything else you guys need?"

"No thanks, we have everything, thank you."

"Kay."

"Dig in." Jeff said as he took a bite into his fish.

"HOT! HOT! HOT!" All of them said.

"Hey Chelsea come with me to the bathroom will you?"

"Sure, one sec, let me wipe my hands. I have this ketchup on my hand for some reason."

"Okay"

Across the restraunt, by the bathroom door.

"I thought I was going with you to the bathroom, but I guess not. What'd you wanna talk about?"

"This vision I had. It's like killing me, I can't figure out why I was crying. Why do I have to be physic girl?"

"I don't know Ray, but how about we talk about it tonight. I know you want to have a good time while you're here with Andre and me and Jeff, so lets make the best out of it, and we can let it all out tonight when Im at your house."

"Okay, thank you Chelsea." Raven then gave Chelsea a big friendly hug and walked back with her to the table.

Little did they know that Mandy, the newspaper freak of the school, and one of the jealous girls of Raven because Ray was with Andre. But little did they know that she listening in on Chelsea and Ray's conversation.

"So that little witch is Physic, and apparently doesn't want anyone to know. Hmm, I need to call Lauren."

Mandy then got out her cell phone and began to dial in Lauren's number.

"Hey Lauren, Guess what I just dug up on Little Miss Raven?"

"What?"

"The witch is physic."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"We're gonna announce it to the whole High School, unless she aggree's to break up with Andre."

"Why Andre?"

"Only because he is mine, and he broke up with me for her and Ill win him back."

"How are you gonna do that? How are you gonna get her to break it off with Andre?"

"One of my favorite things, Black-mail."

"Haha, okay. Come over to my house tonight, and we can get started."

"Im on my way over now."

"Kay, see you in a bit."

As Mandy left the Chill Grill Restraunt, she glared at Raven, Raven knew Mandy didn't like her and knew why, but it had been 9 months, how long could ones madness and jealousy last? Longer than 9 months Ray thought.

"Okay, well Im done, are you guys done?" Raven said.

"Yeah" The other three said.

"Okay, lets pay the bill and bounce" Raven said.

"Okay."

Back at the Baxter Residence –

Andre, Raven, Chelsea, and Jeff all sat down to watch a movie.

Tanya and Victor were gone, but they knew them four were there.

As always, Raven and Andre began to make out, with Andre holding Raven close under the blanket, while rubbing Raven's thigh. She went nuts in her head when Andre did that to her leg, his hand felt so good on her thigh.

Chelsea and Jeff sat on the love seat, with Chelsea on his lap, making out. Jeff and Chelsea just played the thumb game while making out.

Eventually the guys got up to leave and the girls went up to Raven's room.

"Hey Ray, whats that?"

"Iono, my mom normally puts anything that comes in the mail for me on my bed, but I checked the mail this morning, and nothing was there for me. Hmm?"

Raven then grabbed the note from Chelsea and tore the seal open where there was a neatly typed note, Raven then read the note aloud to Chelsea and herself.

"Dear Raven,

I know you are physic.

I know you don't want anyone else to know you are physic.

But now I know.

And I know you don't want me to tell anyone.

So here is my exchange.

Your boyfriend, for this secret.

Remember I can very easily.

Just announce this to your school.

Leave your answer on a piece of paper.

Put it in the cubby hole in the gym.

You know which cubby hole.

That I am talking about.

Follow these directions.

Or else.

Anonymous. "

Raven began to cry. The vision now started to make sence to her.

"Chelsea .. I can't believe this." Raven stated softly as crying.

"Oh my gosh Raven. Oh my gosh." Chelsea said as she wrapped her arms around Raven and held her tightly while Raven cried.

That night Chelsea just sat with Raven, as she cried, and asked Chelsea questions, that Raven herself knew that Chelsea could not answer.

"Why? Why me? Everything was near-perfect. Why me?"

"I .. I .. I don't know Raven. Im so sorry Ray, Im just so sorry." Chelsea held her close in a hug while Raven continued to cry.

For the rest of the night, Raven cried, and could not stop. Eventually she ended up crying herself to sleep. She laid on her bed, crunched in a little ball, crying into her love pillow. Chelsea just sat there and consoled her best friend. She couldn't believe this was happening.

The next morning the girls awoke, Raven had dry makeup smeared on her face from crying the night before.

Chelsea got up from the bed, went to Raven's bathroom and got a hot towel.

"Here Ray, Clean your face up a little bit."

"Thanks Chelsea." Raven then wiped her face up and taking off all her make-up. She then threw the towel into the sink in the bathroom and wrapped her arms around Chelsea.

"Thank you for being here for me Chelsea. I love you so much."

"Raven, you're my best friend, there will never be a moment Im not here for you. Love you girl." Chelsea said in response to Raven thank you.

The hug then ended and Raven and Chelsea went downstairs to make themselves a bowl of cereal.

Raven looked out the backdoor glass window to see an envelope sitting there. She opened the door, to see a note that had her name "Raven" neatly typed on it.

Raven then began to feel tears fill her eyes as turning to Chelsea. Chelsea the wipped the note away from Raven and opened it.

"Whats it say?" Raven said as Chelsea read it to herself.

"Its another black-mail note. They're saying break up with him today, but when you do, you better not tell him why, or else. Signed anonymous."

"Today, today ? I can't break up with him today .." Raven said as crying. Right then her vision came true.

"How could this happen to me! Why me?" Raven then slid down the wall in the kitchen and brought her knees to her face and cried so hard."

Chelsea sat next to her best friend who was crying so hard, and Chelsea felt so bad for her. She held her friend close. With only them two home again.

----------------- Later that day.

"I gotta call him, or my secrets gonna be exposed. I can't handle this, I just can't. I needa call. Im so scared, I love him Chelsea. I LOVE HIM! Now, Im being forced to break his heart. I can't believe this, why me…….." Raven said while crying and sitting on her bed with Chelsea.

"Give me the phone, I .. I .. I can't. Im so scared."

Raven then dialed in Andre's phone number while crying her eyes out.

"Andre?"

"Oh my gosh Raven are you okay, you're crying so hard. Should I come over?"

"No, no, no .. Im, Im, Im calling …….. because .. well because .. cause … I, I, I, I, n, n, n, nee, need to b, b, b, b, b, b, brea, break, uh, uh, uh, up, wi, wi, wi, wi, wi, wit, with, y, y, y, y, yo, yo, you .."

"WHAT! WHY ! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING RAVEN I SWEAR! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME, RAVEN PLEASE DON'T. I LOVE YOU, I WANT YOU, I NEED YOU I CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU, I LOVE YOU RAVEN, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME! PLEASE DON'T! PLEEEASE RAVEN, I LOVE YOU RAY, I CAN'T BE WITHOUT YOU RAVEN, I LOVE YOU, I DON'T AND WON'T BE WITH ANY OTHER GIRL! I LOVE YOU ! I NEVER WANT TO BE WITH ANOTHER GIRL, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE PERFECT! YOU'RE MY ANGEL! I LOVE YOU RAVEN CHRISTINA BAXTER, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME! DON'T LEAVE ME BABY! PLEEEEEEEASE." Andre said while nearing to cry. He couldn't believe the girl of his dreams was breaking up with him.

Raven could hear him cry and it was breaking her heart, she didn't want to hurt him, she loves him, she wants him to be with her, she didn't want to be with anyone else.

"I, I, I, I, I, ha, ha, ha, have t, t, t, to, A, a, Andre. "

"NO YOU DON'T! WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO! RAVEN I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW YOU LOVE ME! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!"

"I have to .. I love you Andre Jackson." With that Raven hung up the phone crying harder then ever. She just lost the love of her life, and she couldn't believe she couldn't even tell him why.

"WHY CHELSEA ! WHY ! WHY ME ! I LOVE HIM CHELS! I LOVE HIM ! AND IM BEING FORCED TO LEAVE HIM ! I DON'T WANT TO ! I FUCKIN DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HIM ! I LOVE HIM !"

Chelsea felt so bad for Raven, she brought Raven into a close hug, and rocked her back and forth. She couldn't believe this was happening to her best friend.

At the other end of the line, stood Andre. Who then fell to his feet in his room in a crunch sitting posistion on his knees and cried, he loves her so much, and would never love another, he was determined to get Raven back, he would never go with anyone else. Raven was all he wanted, all he ever needed and he would not give that up! Not ever! Andre sat there crying in his palms, for that was the first moment, since meeting Raven, that Andre felt his life was falling apart and there was nothing to live for except for Raven.

Back at the Baxter Residence.

Chelsea was then determined to find out who the hell was doing this to Raven. Chelsea knew she had to call Eddie and tell him, and have him help her.

After helping Raven, and Raven crying herself to sleep again, Chelsea got up and grabbed Raven's phone, and walked a little bit down the hall, so she could still watch Raven, just incase she woke up, and not wake her up by talking on the phone.

"Hey Eddie, its me Chels."

"Aye Chels, wadup?"

"Bad, Someone's blackmailing Raven, saying that they know shes physic, and you know how Raven doesn't want the world to know shes physic. The black mail letter said she had to break up with Andre! Raven called him up, and broke down crying, and so did he, and the note ALSO! Said for Ray not to tell him why she was breaking up with him. So it broke their hearts even more! Andre and Raven were crying their hearts out on the phone. Raven cried herself to sleep, and shes sleeping again right now. Im watching her, until she gets alright."

"Can I come over?"

"Yeah, Mr. and Ms. Baxter probably won't care."

"Okay, Im gonna go check up Andre, then Ill be over."

"Kay."

With that they both hung up the phone, Chelsea went to go sit on the floor next to Ravens bed and held her hand, and turned on the tv, and watched tv while Raven slept. Chelsea began to cry a little knowing how much pain her best friend was in.

Eddie got his shoes on and threw his jacket on and walked out the door, yelling to his mom that he was going over to Ray's house.

"Okay, be back my 11" she yelled from the kitchen.

Eddie walked and walked until he reached Andre's house.

Knock Knock

Andre opned the door, his eyes were blood shot red, and it made it clear that he had been crying long and hard.

"Damn man, I heard about you and ray, Chelsea called me up."

"Do you know why? It's Raven, she ain't one to do this. Atleast I don't think so. Eddie, I love her. She's my everything. With my dad being an alcaholic, and my mom being a club stripper, shes the only one I get up in the morning for. Only her. I can't go on without her. I want her, only her. Id do anything to get her back man. Im inlove with her, shes got me sprung."

"Damn dawg, some girls can do that. Hold your head up, I give you a promise man, just promise me, you won't go for another girl, I promise you, Raven and you will be back together, somehow someway. Let me tell you, I can't tell you it all, But Ill tell you this. Raven was crying her eyes out when she broke up with you. She didn't wanna break up with you as much as you didn't want her to break up with you. She was, put to it."

"Why man? Who the fuck is messing with my girl?"

"I ain't saying nothing, but man just promise me alright? Raven loves you, and you prove it yourself that you love her .. Just, wait for her okay ?"

"Bring her back to me, and Ill fight for her till the day I die, I only want her."

"Aight man."

"Aight, peace out." With that Eddie then walked out Andre's front door, closing it behind him, and ran up the road and around the corner to Raven's house.

He knocked on the door and Chelsea opened it.

"Hey."

"Hey, anything new?"

"No"

" Oh, but I did think of something on the way up here, who would want to do this to Raven, and out of all things, take Andre away from her?" Eddie said.

"Who's someone that's jealous of Raven, and maybe Even Raven and Andre?" Chelsea questionsed.

They both thought in silence for about 20 minutes then all of a sudden their brains hit it.

Both of them said it together. "The black-mailer is Mandy Stalk, Andre's ex-girlfriend."
