Chelsea walked into Raven's room, knowing exactly what had to be done. She had been thinking about what she said to her earlier, and it was still bothering her.

"Chels, what are you doing?" Raven asked when she saw the girl pick up her duffel bag.

"I'm leaving," she replied.

"What? Why? Is it because of what I said today?" Raven, too, had time think about what she said and was sorry about it. There was no way she was letting her go. "Chelsea, I'm sorry." She stood up from her cot to walk over to her. "Look, I'm just not used to sharing a room. In that one moment of frustration, I lashed out at you and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just can't tell you how much I'm sorry." Raven could see Chelsea start to crack a bit of a smile. She gently took the duffel bag out of her hand and put in on the floor. "Just stay with me."

"Ok, but we need to be honest with each other from now on, Rea. If there's something on your mind, you have to tell me, and I'll do the same."

"Seal the deal with a kiss?" Raven asked.

"I don't see why not."

"Come on, Piper. I don't see what the problem is," Edie said as he followed her down the street. She began to walk faster with her head down.

"I just don't think that we should meet at my house, Ok? We should go to you're house," she said.

"We can't! My mom's having it renovated. It'd be way too complicated to get any work done in there. Why is it that you never want me to come to your house? Even before you moved away, you'd always make up some excuse for me not to come over. I don't understand it."

"Because you can't understand it, Eddie! It's embarrassing."

"That's it? You have and embarrassing family? Join the club, there's only several billion of us out there," Eddie said sarcastically. He stopped her form walking away any further by grabbing her arm. "Look, I don't care what you're family is like, Piper. How bad can they be if they raised such an amazing girl?" He gently kissed her on the lips before letting go of her arm to let her walk.

"Ok fine, you win, Eddie."

"I knew I would," he said, confidently.

The walked for a few more blocks before stopping at a faded lime green house. It looked like it could use a few repairs before someone could even call it "ugly". What used to be a white picket fence was now a few pegs of rotting wood here and there. Old toys were left out on the lawn. They looked as if they hadn't been used in years, and if they did, then that was a very unlucky child.

A little boy came running out of the house. "Piper," he yelled as he jumped on her, giving her a hug.

"Brian, what are you doing out on this lawn with no shoes on?" She looked at him with concern.

"I'm hungry, sis. I didn't eat nothing all day."

"Hop on my back. I'll make you something. If you couldn't tell, Eddie, this is Brian, my little brother." They walked toward the house.

"Hey, little man. How ya doin'?" Eddie asked.

"I'm not little. I'm 4 ½ !"

"Aw he's cute."

"I know, I just wish he'd get better care," Piper said as she put him down on the kitchen counter. She opened up the fridge. "Just great, there's nothing to eat," she said with a sigh.

"Do you guys like pizza?" asked Eddie? I've got…" he pulled out his wallet to see what he could find. "20 bucks."

"Eddie, you're a life-saver. I swear, when I get the money, I'm going to pay you back!"

"Did…did I hear money?" A woman came stumbling into the kitchen. She was a bit taller than Piper and had her eyes. The woman was very grubby looking. "Now, I think I heard money, Baby. Whatever it is, I want a cut!" Her speech was slow and slurred.

"Mom, you've been drinking," Piper said softly. She was starting to blush, and Eddie was beginning to realize why she didn't want him to come over.

"Don't tell me what I do in my spare time." There was now resentment in her voice.

"Mom, this is Eddie, my boyfriend." She was clearly nervous when she introduced him.

"Hello," Eddie extended his hand for her, but her vision was too far off to determine which of the five hands she saw was real.

"So, is this the boy who knocked you up?"

"Mother!"

"What? I'm just trying to find out what goes on in my daughters life. Birth control is a very important thing, Eddie. You don't want to make the same three mistakes I did."

"Shut up, Mom."

"Don't you…don't you take that tone with me, young lady. I am your mother and you will…(belch)…you will respect me!"

"Um, maybe I should go," Eddie said.

"I told you this was a bad idea."

"I'm sorry, Piper."

"Don't be a stranger, Eddie," Piper's mother yelled. "Although, that little factor didn't stop my Piper from sleeping with you!"

Eddie felt terrible for convincing his girlfriend to let him come over, but what made him feel even worse, was leaving her there.

A/N: Ok, I know that's a crappy way to end it, but I'm out of ideas for this chapter. I hope you all liked it. Sorry for not updating this sooner. I'd like to say that I was busy, but I wasn't.
