Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of this fic, except Brad, his friends and Chelsea's parents.
I'm sorry guys if I took so long to update, I've been busy but now I'm free except from some social reunions i have to assist to these months and because of that I have to travel a lot, what means I'm not really free but at least I'm out of school and now I'm heading to college. So I have a little time to spend doing nothing.
I wanted to point out that I want all the characters of this fic to look like real actors, lol. Sounds stupid but I thought about who I would like to participate in this story if it was a real tv episode.
I would like Jennifer Daniels, Chelsea's mom in my fic, to be played by Marcia Cross. (Bree on Desperate Housewives). Wouldn't she be the perfect mom for Chelsea? Both are redheads, talented and really beautiful. I want comments about that!
Ok, I think this episode it's the worst, lol, its not really good but its something. I hope you like it. Please, Review!
8. The Perfect guy
Chelsea slept all day and woke up in the evening. Everything looked blurry at first but a few seconds later, things came back to normal. Trying to sit down, she yelled out in pain and tears came out on her sweet pale face.
"Is everything ok?" Her dad came into the room and tried to help her to sit down.
"Yes, I just… feel…like…useless!"
"It's ok, it'll pass" he kissed her forehead.
"Why …why…are you here?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's early!"
"I didn't work today!"
"Why? What date is today?"
Her father laughed.
"I stayed at home to take care of you!"
"You did that?"
"Yes! You are my little star. I love you and when I saw you on the floor bleeding my heart broke into pieces!"
"Dad, I'm sorry about what I did last night but I don't want to go, I want you to know how hard this is for me but that is impossible, apparently!"
"I understand, but let's talk about that later, we have past through enough today"
"Ok!"
"I better go downstairs to help your mom!"
"Oh dad, wait!.. I'm so hungry and I don't think I'll be able to sit down with you to dinner tonight, can you please bring me something to eat?"
"Sure!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you; some friends are coming to dinner tonight".
"Who?"
"John, his new girlfriend and his son".
"Brad?"
"Yeah!"
"Dad, help me to stand up, I'm too sedated. I want to find something to put on to dinner with you"
"I though you weren't coming to dinner!"
"Now I am"
"What makes you change your mind?"
"I don t know, after I yelled at you and behave that way, I think it would be good to join you and your friends tonight!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I mean, I'm your daughter, it would be so rude not to!"
Her dad came out of the room and Chelsea opened her wardrobe doors. She took out a white turtle neck blouse, a Dolce & Gabbana white jacket, a black mini skirt and a black pair of leather boots. She put a little bit of make up on to hide her pale skin and look less sick. She went downstairs and waited for the guests to arrive.
"Wow, why are you wearing that?" said Chelsea's dad in awe.
"I just want to give a good impression!"
"Isn't that a little too outrageous?" her mom said
"Isn't that a little too short?" her dad said immediately.
"John, please. She is a teenager. Leave her!"
"I know, but…"
The doorbell rang.
"Ill open the door"…Chelsea said but her father stopped her.
"You shouldn't be doing this. Stay here, Ill do it!"
John, his new girlfriend and Brad came in and after saying hi to the whole family, Brad approached to Chelsea.
"This is for you Princess" to Chelsea's surprise, Brad had brought some flowers.
"Thanks! It's so nice from you!" She smiled.
"Do you guys know each other?" her dad asked.
"Yes, we are classmates!" Brad said.
"Oh, you never told me your son studies at Bayside HS!" Mrs. Daniels said.
"Yeah, he is the captain of the football team. Like you were, David!" they both laughed.
"Well, we better sit down to eat and talk…we have so many things to talk about John!"
"David, I have to admit your daughter is really beautiful, just like her mom!"
Mrs. Daniels raised an eyebrow and gave half a smile.
"Thanks John. I'm already aware of that!" replied Mr. Daniels.
While walking to the table, Brad interrupts the conversation.
"If you excuse me, I want to invite Chelsea to dinner to this new Italian restaurant tonight. Would you like to Chelsea?"
"Yeah, that would be great!" She said excited, her eyes were shinning again and her smile suddenly showed up.
"I don't know if you should Chelsea. It's really nice of you Brad but she is in a really delicate state, you guys should stay at home, seriously!" Jennifer Daniels said admiring Brad gesture but worrying about her daughter been out after what had happened last night.
"Mom, please!" Chelsea's smile had disappeared and now a sad face had come.
"I promise, I'll take good care of her!" Brad followed Chelsea.
Her mom knew this meant a lot for her and she felt happy to see Chelsea smiling again. After all, this guy didn't look that bad and was really gentile.
This was the perfect guy for Chelsea, even thought there was something quite dark about him that she couldn't figure out yet. Maybe the idea of being "John Metcalfe's son", the man who had cheated on his wife causing a divorce, the one that changes of girlfriends like he changes of shoes, the corrupted one in her husband's company but one of her husband's best friends. He used to cheat on her years ago, when they used to go out before she would marry David, Chelsea's father.
"David? What do you say?" Jennifer started to doubt about this situation.
"Well, I am going to trust you Brad. After all, you are like part of the family!" he said giving the permission to Brad and Chelsea to go out.
"Thanks Mrs. Daniels. We'll be here by 10pm, is that ok?" he asked
"Take all the time you want, just have fun!" John said knowing this guy was a good boy.
They both went out of the house. Brad opened the door of his silver Audi to let Chelsea in. "He is perfect" She thought.
He turned on the music and drove to this new and chic Italian restaurant.
"Thanks Raven!" Eddie said with half a smile.
"For what?" she said in concern
"For the pizza. For been here. For everything!"
"Oh, Eddie, Its ok. You are one of my best friends! She smiled back.
"This place is great. I wish Chelsea was here with us enjoying this too!" his smile disappeared.
"It's not the end of the world Eddie!" Raven said to calm his friend down. "I know how much you want her to be here but she is in bed!"
"I know, I hope she comes out of that bed soon. She doesn't deserve what is happening to her right now!" Eddie said with a sad face.
"She is such a happy person, it's hard to see her like that. Don't you think?"
"Yes!"
They were both in silence now.
"My parents are mad at me coz I escaped from home to see Chelsea this morning. But they let me come because they know it's your birthday!" Raven said to brake up the silence.
"Mine are ok now coz they talked to Chelsea's parents, but they thought I didn't sleep at home. They thought I was with some girl fooling around if you know what I mean!"
"I love her so much, she is my best friend Eddie. And I know I yelled at my parents and I escaped from home but… I would do anything for her!" she says.
"I love her too, don't worry, I understand you perfectly. I would die for her, Raven!"
Silence came back making everything awkward.
"This is getting really sad. Let's sing you Happy Birthday and start eating that cake!"
They started to sing and when it was time for Eddie to make a wish, he knew exactly what he was going to wish. "I want Chelsea to be mine!" he thought but when he was about to blow the candle…"How can I be so selfish? My wish is… that Chelsea comes out of bed soon. I hope she recovers soon."
Raven hugged him. "Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks!" he replied.
Suddenly, Eddie's eyes opened wide and his face turned confuse.
"Oh my god!" says Raven impressed.
Eddie stood up and walked to this other table really angry.
"So you can't come to my birthday dinner coz you are in bed but you can go out with this looser?"
"Calm down man!" Brad laughs.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Eddie got closer.
"Eddie I can explain".
"No Chelsea, Thanks for everything. You are the worst friend ever!"
"Eddie!" she stood up but Brad grabbed her arm. "Sit down! I'll fix this!"
"Raven! I …"
"If you can come out of your house like this, you can come to his birthday. You did the wrong thing! You didn't even see the value of what he did for you. That is not good Chelsea!. He has been talking about you and how much he wanted you to be here all night!"
"I know Raven but…"
"No, you don't know!" she said leaving.
Chelsea took her head between her hands and cried, really confused, Not knowing what to do.
Please! Review :)
