Read and Review!
The next day in school, Raven was more quiet than ever. She couldn't even sleep the night before, thinking all night about the kind of trouble she and Devon had created with their careless judgment. I guess the best thing about the whole situation was that she was able to have Devon there by her side. She thought briefly about the promises that were made.
(Flashback: Devon looking Raven in her eyes: "I promise, I'll make it feel like you never imagined...")
The rememberance of the other night still made Raven a bit queesy but nonetheless happy. Just as she grabbed her last book out of her locker, Chelsea walked up.
"Hey Rae, you feeling any better?" Chelsea asked rather gloomy. Raven turned slowly and glared at Chelsea before answering, "No not really" she said. "I'm still, in my head, trying to figure out how to talk to Devon about it and at the same time...my parents" said Raven with a sad and worried look on her face, it sadened Chelsea. Feeling pressure and seeing the look on Chelsea's face made Raven's eyes water, Chelsea quickly clutched her friend trying to calm her.
Eddie walked up and didn't utter a word. "Hey Eddie" Chelsea said still hugging Raven. Raven removed her self from the console and turned to Eddie. "Hi" Eddie said. Raven offered him a soft smile in response, "I'll meet up with you guys later, I'm gonna talk to Devon for lunch". "Ok Rae" Chelsea said, giving her friend one last comforting hug.
As Raven walked off, Chelsea quickly turned to Eddie. "I really dn't think this is the appropriate time for you grow distant from Rae" Chelsea said in an aggravated voice. "Honestly Chels, how else should I act?"
"I don't know Eddie, but a little tenderness might help" said Chelsea trying her best not to get mad at Eddie. "You know what Chels, my whole life I've been there for Rae, but it's obvious now that I'm fed up" said Eddie angrily, "Her schemes, her corrupted boyfriends...just EVERYTHING!" "What will it take for her to see, the perfect guy for her is and always has been standing right by her side"
Eddie's furiousness brought out the most sensative side in him Chelsea had ever seen. Though still in her state of mind thinking Eddie was being pretty selfish, Chelsea ignored it. "Eddie, right now you need to get over yourself" "I'm sure that if you had just told Raven how you felt, this would't even matter right now. But since you think that she'll realize through you being an asshole to her, you deserve every bit of pain you're feeling out of this" Chelsea said as she immediately walked away from Eddie.
Eddie's POV: Chels is right, I should just talk to Rae and be done with it. What if she never looks at me the same again? Come on Eddie, be a man. God I wish she could just take a hint sometimes. Now she might be pregnant, and Devon's most definitly in the picture, I may never have a chance again...
Eddie walked off to class, late and depressed.
(Later at lunch)
School bell rings
Raven sat the whole class period trying to figure out how to say this to Devon. It wasn't like she was alone in the situation, so afraid of his reaction she decided to swallow her pride and just come out and tell him. On her way to her locker, she spotted Devon. Glaring at his watching, waiting for her just like every day at lunch.
"Hey Rae" he said kissing her firmly on the lips. The expression on Raven's face worried Devon. "You ok babe?" he asked.
"Devon, I really have to tell you something. This is hard enough, so just listen" she said, he nodded anxious to hear what she had to say. "Ok, I didn't have any regrets about the other night except..." she paused. "Rae, what is it?" he asked.
Raven leaned in, looking around to make sure it was only between them. "We didn't use any protection". she said lightly. "You regret us not using protection?" "It's slightly late for that now huh." Raven looked at him with a disgusted looked like he was beign sarcastic.
"Why do I feel like it's funny to you" asked Raven. "Babe, it's not that I think it's funny, it's just not much we can do now"
"Devon, have you forgotten about the parents we have, we still need to talk to them!", Raven was becoming slightly frustrated. No matter what she said, Devon wasn't taking her serious.
"Ok, Rae listen we can talk to our parents, but I don't get why you're so upset about this" Devon said. "Devon, omg, you don't understand why I'm so upset?" "For one, we're 17, still living with our parents and that means they might have to make more room, plus we have to sit through angry lectures" Raven said becoming more and more upset. "Well atleast they get another tax deduction out of this" said Devon jokingly. That was it, Raven felt the tears approaching the wells of her eyes and she couldn't hold them back.
"I can't believe this is so funny to you, it almost feels like you planned this...", Devon's expression turned from a playful look, to one that made Raven realize she had just struck Gold with that last accusation. "You planned this?" she said still in the midst of tears.
"I didn't really plan it, but I had no intentions of using a condom." Devon said hoping she would have a little mercy. Raven couldn't respond, she just stood there, staring at him. Wondering what could have been going through his head the moment he decided to make such a life threatening decision. Raven couldn't think of the right things to say, her knees felt like rubber her face wrinkled slightly, she brushed his side walking off.
"Rae, wait!" Devon said, wanting to chase after her. Something urged him to leave her be.
Meanwhile
Chelsea sat alone eating her lunch in the cafeteria. Eddie slid his plate in the empty spot across from her.
"Sorry about earlier" Chelsea said. "Oh, it's cool Chels, I was thinking anyway" "...and you were right". said Eddie in regret of his previous attitude.
"I guess I was so caught up in finding out about last night, I reacted out of my frustration and jealousy" he said. "Is that why you tried desperately to get Rae not to go?" "I mean it was pretty obvious right there...you probably always thought you be first" Chelsea joked. Eddie chuckled. "I guess".
"Come on, let's go, I wasn't really hungry." Chelsea said pushing her lunch tray away. "Ok, I'll go and empty them, be right back" said Eddie.
Just as Chelsea walked to the cafeteria door to wait on Eddie, Raven rushed past her eye sight towards the girls bathroom. Eddie came back, "So where do you wan..." he was cut off by the distant look in Chelsea's eyes as she followed Raven into the bathroom. Eddie closed in behind them.
Chelsea walked in the bathroom behind Raven, only to see her close herself in a stall. Raven's mouth couldn't fight back any longer, the saltiness from her stomach. Her resistance buckled aa she vomited into the toilet.
Chelsea heard. "Raven?" "Are you feeling ok?"
"Please Rae, talk to us" Eddie begged. "Eddie?" Raven said raising her head. "Ya, it's me...and Chels" She slowly walked out of the stall, and moved towards the sink to rinse out her mouth. Eddie and Chelsea both placed their hands on Raven's back trying desperately to console their friend.
Raven finally gained her composure, "Do you guys know that, Devon planned not to use protection" she confessed. "What?" Chelsea said in shocked, Eddie just screwed his face up. "He planned it, he told me that the whole thing was intentional," "I was too sick and disgusted to hear anymore".
"So what are you gonna do?" asked Eddie. "There's nothing I really can do now, except wait until I'm sure...then I guess I'll talk to my parents".
"Well you know Rae, we're always here for you, just let us know if you need anything" Chelsea said.
"I love you guys, but you know what, this is something that Devon and I will sort out...together." "Even if there's a hassle, I'm just as much at fault as he is, if not more" Raven said criticised herself "Because I know better, and so does he".
