Hey everyone, sorry for taking so long, life caught up with me. Haven't had much time for fun stuff. Happy Holiday's

"It's five minutes to the hour. Stay tune next for Shelia Lee and The Lunch Jam request line. This is Cool Eddie T. signing out. "

The room is filled with booming Hip Hop music, as Eddie prepares to leave the radio station for the day. Shelia Lee is already sitting in front of the mic preparing for her broadcast as he waves goodbye. Soon as he is out of the room an intern is waving him down. 'Oh boy, these interns never give up. Was I like that when I interned?' thought Eddie, as he stops short of the door and turns toward the intern.

"Eddie there's someone waiting to see you in the green room"

Eddie follows the intern to the green room and is very surprised to see Raven.

"Ray!" exclaims Eddie, as he quickly makes his way over to Raven for a hug.

"Hey boy!" says Raven giving Eddie a tight hug.

"Ray, what you doing here? I thought you were in Paris.?"

"Oh I was. But I'm home for the holidays. And something else, which is why I'm here.

I need to talk to you. And maybe get your help." Raven rushes out nervously.

She's about to come out to her best friend and explain her behavior with Chelsea for the last four years. Worry is the emotion of the day.

'Will he accept what I have to say.'

A concerned look comes to Eddie's face. He wonders what's so important that Raven needs his help. He will help of course. Raven's one of his best friends, he would do just about anything for her.

"What is it, Ray?"

"How about I take you to lunch and we catch up, and then I tell you? " asks Raven, hoping that he'll agree.

"You can treat me to food anytime."

Eddie can see how nervous she is. Then an idea comes to his mind. 'Maybe this has something to do with Chelsea.'

Soon the two friends are on their way. They decide to walk to a near by café. They catch up on things, like what happen during fashion week, and why Eddie didn't tell Raven how popular he is. They talk about all those things they usually do through emails and the phone, but it is so much better in person. Both are skirting around the same subject. Eddie isn't surprised by this. He had come to accept this as a part of their conversations over the years. Ever since Raven left for Paris it has been like this. It is the same with Chelsea. Why had they never become friends again? It is a very weird situation, he hopes will change some day.

'Maybe today is the day' muses Eddie. They finish eating and Raven is quiet and deep in thought. He can see how nervous she is, by all the shredded napkins around her. He is anxious to hear what she has to say, so Eddie decides to bring up the elephant in the room.

"Ray does all this have anything to do with Chelsea?"

"Man, sometimes I think you're psychic" says Raven, the shock evident on her face.

"Well I was for second, remember" Eddie says to try and lighten the mood.

"Yeah, I remember that. Those were some crazy times. You, me and Chelsea were always getting in to trouble weren't we?"

Eddie can't help but to agree. He's very curious about what's going to happen next, when ever Raven needed help with something, he always ended up looking foolish. But that was ok with him.

"So Ray shoot what's going on?"

"Well, let me start with telling you something you don't know about me."

"Ok." a slight frown comes to his face.

"I'm Bisexual"

Eddie eyes widen with shock. Raven continues,

"I know it's a shock for you to hear this, the next thing will be even more of a shock….

I've been in love with Chelsea ever since that summer before senior year. She's how I realized I'm bi and why I couldn't hang around when you two dated. It was too much for me. I just couldn't watch you two together. Then when you two broke up I thought it could be like it was. When me and you started talking again, I thought I could do the same with Chelsea. I didn't have the courage to call her so waited until I graduated hoping she would call first, but she never did. Then when you guys showed up at my door when I came home it was like old times. I thought things were going to be ok but then I told you guys I was leaving for Paris. I thought those two weeks would be spent with you and Chelsea. You remember me and you chilled together a few times, but I never heard from her after that night. I just figured I wasn't that important to her any more, after not talking to her for so long. "

Raven took a deep breath. That had been a mouth full. She had hoped this would be the hardest part. She looks up and sees Eddie's eyes still wide with shock and his mouth moving with nothing coming out. She takes a deep breath preparing for the worst.

"Raven… I…. I don't know what to say" says Eddie, looking down at his plate.

Raven took this as being the worst and starts getting up to leave, very disappointed and hurt.

"Ray where you going? You can't just tell some one that and leave. Give me a moment to absorb this and I'll be better in a few minutes." says Eddie as he looks up to see the hurt in her eyes.

"Oh sorry Ray. I wasn't rejecting you I'm just a little shocked."

"No I jumped the gun thinking that you wouldn't accept me. We're ok though right." says raven as she sit back down.

"Yeah girl you know we cool. I just never would have though that you the queen of the kingdom of boy crazy would be bi."

"Ha ha Eddie laugh it up."

They look at each other and share a good laugh. They easily get back into their friendly conversation, after this little shock. Raven then shares with Eddie her need to reconcile with Chelsea and that she needed his help.

"Raven uh its something you need to know umm Chels is…."

"I know she's getting married, Eddie. I had a vision about it. It's what started all of this. I just wanted to be there for her. We always said we would be each others maids of honor. I got this vision for a reason. I'm suppose to be here for Chelsea, no matter my feelings. In my heart she is still my best friend. And I want to show her that. So will you help me?"

"Of course I'll help. It will be just like old times, the three of us together again. Ray I just thought about something. Are you going to tell her everything you just told me? "

"That's going to be the hard part, but I want to try."

"Well I'm with you all the way."

As the two friends prepare to leave, some one approaches the table.

"Raven is that you?" says a beautiful brown skin woman.

"I have been looking over here since you walked in, trying figure out if it was really you. Wow your still very beautiful." the woman says, the last part more to herself.

Raven couldn't believe her eyes. Standing before her was the only person who had come close to stealing her heart from Chelsea.

"How have you been, Ciara."
