"Hey" said Parker as he stroked Raven's bare arm with one finger. "Look's like your sunburn healed okay." He tugged at her halter strap again.

Raven giggled a little bit at Parker's teasing comment. Last week she had forgotten to use sunblock during her first week at the beach, and her skin had been throbbing since then, keeping her trapped indoors for those few days. Her only consolation had been Parker. While everyone was outdoors at the beach hanging out and partying, Parker sat with his feet propped on her bed reading his favorite novels to her, and rubbing cold aloe from the fridge on her arms and legs whenever she asked.

Raven had loved the attention, even though she had been all raw and feeling as though she looked a mess. She'd had Parker all to herself, which was what she wanted ever since they met.

On the second afternoon, he'd gently slipped her shirt off over her head while she was lying on her stomach, and started kissing all the parts that hurt her. Everyone else was down at the beach. Though it had been all sweaty and sticky-hot, he'd pulled a sheet over them and traced her bare skin with his hands, which were twice as big as her own.

Raven rolled over and touched the parts of him that fascinated her—his chest, his arms, the crease in his lower back. Then, before she knew it, he reached down and pulled off his boxers. She felt shy for a moment, but then she let him slide her own underwear down. And when they started kissing, she didn't feel shy anymore. It was thoughtful, slow, and perhaps even a little less passionate than Raven had expected. It had all happened so naturally somehow. Still, more important, when it was over, it felt right. She'd been attracted to Parker up to then, but that was the moment when she'd felt her life tying up with his in a knot. It was the first time she had felt—dare she say it—like she was falling in love.

"Raven!" Chelsea whispered louder as she nudged Raven in her arm. "Raven are you okay?"

Raven opened her eyes to see Chelsea leaning over her bed with a concerned look on her face. She couldn't believe the dream she just had. It felt so real and everything. Raven could swear she felt Parker's touch, and how warm and right his body felt against hers. This all was happening so fast and odd to her. How could she be having hot dreams like this, when she hadn't even kissed or become involved with this boy yet?

"Uhh….Raven are you hearing me?" Chelsea asked again, as she sat on the edge of Raven's bed and put a hand to her forehead. "You are sweating up a storm Rae…..are you sure your okay? Do you want me to get something for you?"

"No Chels….." Raven stammered. "I'm fine. I just had a really weird dream about Parker." She had noticed Chelsea's face turn as she head the name again; Parker.

"Rae, you seriously need to calm down with this boy, I mean you barely know him and already you're dreaming about him." Chelsea stood up and started walking back to her side of the room towards her bed. It was only about 2 in the morning, so the only light in the room came from the bathroom light.

Raven sat up slowly, as she felt lightheaded from her past dream. Man, I have never had a dream like that before! Are my visions now coming to me in my dreams? I mean am I going to do this or is this just some sweet image I have going for me. I never really thought about sex until now…..weird! Raven thought, as she watched Chelsea get settled back into her bed.

"Hey Chels, you want to hear about my dream?" she asked as she made her way slowly to the other side of the room.

"Raven, it's late and I'm sure you're tired so try to go back to sleep." She said as she closed her eyes. The room became very quiet as Chelsea waited for a response from Raven. She slowly opened her eyes to be staring straight at Raven, looking down on her.

"Jesus Raven!" Chelsea squealed as she sat up in bed, "are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

Raven had noticed that she had scared Chelsea so she sat down on the bed and pulled the covers back over her. "Okay you go back to sleep but I want you to hear my dream while you do." The room was chilly because of the open window and the wind off the beach was gracing their room.

Chelsea got the hint from Raven's prickly arms, and opened her covers to let Raven slide under with her. Her body felt like cold ice mixed with drops of sweat she had noticed from Raven's dream. She didn't care about that though; Raven was her best friend and if she wanted her to hear about her dream, then she would suck it up and listen to it.

"So….." Chelsea started as she looked over at Raven, "are you going to tell me about this dream of yours?" As she peered over, she had noticed Raven had already fallen back to sleep. All she could do was giggle. She must have been so excited with her dream that she wore herself out….haha….I wish I could have those dreams. I wish I could dream about anything but…..Ben. Stop it Chelsea! She would continually say to herself, stop thinking about it or you will never forget it. Why do you want to go back to that place? With all of her nervous thinking, Chelsea's eyes had started to close on their own as she drifted deeper and deeper into her sleepy consciousness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The night was cold and damp, and Chelsea and Ben had just finished their dinner at their favorite restaurant. The rain had started to come down harder as the two lovebirds made their way into Ben's car.

"Hey Chelsea!" she heard Ben yell in front of her. "Babe, I'm going to get the car…so wait here so you don't get all wet."

Chelsea was standing under a ceiling of a bookstore. She watched in awe as Ben made his way across the parking lot and into his car. She couldn't believe how in love with him she was. However, lately it seemed as if Ben was holding back from her, prior to their evening out.

She wanted to ask him about it and figure it all out. She wanted to be open with Ben and be able to tell him everything, but how could she do that if he was closing all of his walls right in front of her. Tonight she thought I'm going to ask Ben what's going on. I have to know.

Ben had finally pulled the car right in front of where Chelsea was standing and got out to open her door. "My lady" he would always say as he did all of his little gentlemanly things for her.

Chelsea jumped into the car and buckled her seatbelt. Before Ben had closed the door, he leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. This was al Chelsea needed to float up on her cloud. She felt like a princess when she was around him. He always watched out for her and took such good care of her. He wouldn't let anything bad happen to me she would always remind herself.

The ride back to Ben's house had been very uncomfortable to Chelsea. He had not spoken a word to her until they pulled up in his driveway.

"I thought you were going to take me home" Chelsea asked curiously as she peeked out her window.

"Well" he started, "my parents aren't home this weekend and we can have some alone time….to talk." He said as he caressed Chelsea's cheek, leaning over to kiss her.

It was as if Ben was trying to prepare her for something, although she didn't know what. But she knew he would never hurt her, so she decided to unbuckle her seatbelt and deepen the kiss between the two. His hands were everywhere on her. He wanted to touch every part of Chelsea that he looked at and drove him wild.

"Let's get inside….it's cold out here." Ben said as he opened his door. Before Chelsea could say anything, Ben walked around and opened up her own door and picked her up.

"Ben!" she giggled as he made his way across his lawn, "I can walk you know."

"I know but I have always wanted to carry a girl into my house." He joked as he took out his keys and put them in the door. This became difficult as the key would not budge. It wasn't until Ben had jammed his back into the door that it opened.

Once they were inside, Ben took no time to keep walking up the stairs leading Chelsea to his room. He paused in front of his door and placed her feet back on the ground.

"This is your first time in my room; this calls for a celebration" he said as he pushed open the door. His room was just like she had pictured; nothing spectacular, just white walls with posters of bands and models and professional surfers. The floor was decorated with thrown around clothes that she had noticed he had just worn the other day. He had his own surfboard leaning against the wall, with his computer and television propped up on his desk.

Chelsea felt Ben's arms surround her as she turned around. She quickly pushed her lips against his with an almost fury. She wanted to feel him and taste him, as she felt him push her back onto his bed. Ben was definitely feeling what Chelsea was as he made no time in pulling her sweater off and revealing her bra. Like any girl who was seen for the first time by a boy; she quickly placed her arms around her chest, almost embarrassed to see how Ben would react to her. She knew she didn't look like all the other girls, but she always felt beautiful when she was around him.

With an almost rough push, Ben ripped Chelsea's arms off of her chest. He wasted no time in kissing down her chest and all over her arms.

Chelsea was surprised with the rough force Ben was using and decided to stop what they were doing; she just wasn't feeling it anymore.

"Ben" she managed to get out as he pressed his lips to hers. "I want to stop."

Once these words were muttered, Ben quickly pushed off of Chelsea, and sat upright on his bed. He looked hurt and degraded all at the same time.

"What the hell Chelsea?" he said, "you never want to do anything with me anymore. You need to stop with all the signals." Ben had pushed himself off his bed as he made his way to his desk. Chelsea was so scared of losing Ben that she got up and put her arms around his back.

"Ben, you know I love you" she started, "it's just….I don't want it to happen this way." She said as she picked her sweater off the floor and started to make her way to his door. "I'm sorry but if you can't understand how I feel about this, then I don't know what to tell you."

As she started to turn Ben's doorknob, she felt Ben grab her by her arm.

"You don't leave until I say so Chelsea." He said as he pulled her towards him. All she could do was slap him across the face as she couldn't believe he had just violated her like that.

Once she had slapped Ben, she tried to force her way out of his room. Ben grabbed her once again swinging her around to face him just in time to have her face make contact with his fist. Chelsea hit the floor hard, and was starting to taste blood in her mouth. She had never felt pure terror until this night.

While she was on the ground, Ben laid a few kicks into her side with his foot. Chelsea screamed in pain each time she felt a jab into her side. She couldn't believe this was happening, and why it was as well.

Ben noticed Chelsea start to weaken, so he scooped her up from the ground and threw her on his bed. Like an animal, he ripped off her sweater and tore off her bra, leaving Chelsea exposed and vulnerable. He quickly placed his hand over her mouth to quiet her screaming as he unzipped her jeans and ripped them off as well, followed by her underwear.

This can't be happening Chelsea screamed into her head as Ben forced his way inside her. She screamed in pain as he continued to rape her. This being her first time, Chelsea could not understand how Ben could be this rough with her.

All she could do was let the tears flow and the night seemed to drag on forever. The pain only got worse as Ben quickened his speed and started to push his hand on her mouth even harder. She knew Ben was nearing his end, as he finished up and pushed himself off her.

Chelsea quickly jumped out of his bed and grabbed her clothes; as Ben made no attempt to stop her. He had finally gotten what he had always wanted from her, and now she was no use to him. As she hurried her way out his door, Chelsea noticed her reflection in Ben's bedside mirror. Her face had become swollen on the sides where he had punched her, and she was cut on the eyebrow and lip from his slaps. The pooling blood on her face scared her, as she also noticed the bruises forming all around her waist.

"Don't you dare think to tell Raven or Eddie about this!" Ben yelled. "I swear to God Chelsea if you say this to anyone I'll come after them. And you know I could easily get to Raven." He said with a smirk. This made her absolutely sick to think that Ben would bring Raven into the conversation. How dare he threaten her when she wasn't even a part of what had happened between them.

Chelsea ran out of Ben's door, only pausing outside to put her sweater back over her. She couldn't go home like this, or her parents would wonder. She knew she had to go somewhere. Chelsea decided to go to her cousin Catherine's house, and hope that she could keep her secret. She knew she would, because Catherine was not much older than her, and she always looked at Chelsea like a sister.

The rain started to come down harder as Chelsea walked through her pain. She felt as if the rain was her pain falling from the sky, in forms on knives hitting her. Her life as she knew it couldn't get any worse. She had been humiliated and attacked by someone she thought had loved her. How could he do this to me? She thought to herself. With that, Chelsea stopped along the road and threw up. She was emotionally sick from everything; and the worse part about it was…..she couldn't tell Raven; the one person she wanted to run to.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chelsea awoke to a start as she couldn't believe she had dreamed this again. She was shaking horribly and felt the dried tears on her flushed cheeks. The dreams were becoming more constant now and Chelsea knew it was because she had not shared her secret with anyone.

As Chelsea rolled in bed, she felt Raven move into her. Chelsea began to feel safer as she looked down at her best friend, and smiled. Rae has always been there for me she thought. I need to tell her what happened, but I don't know how and I don't know when. Before Chelsea could think anymore, she felt her eyes become heavy again as they started to close. She slowly sunk back into the sheets and put her head on Raven's shoulder, as she finally was able to sleep in peace that night. No more dreams about Ben that night. She was entirely grateful to Raven for that.

I know this was an awful thing that happened to Chelsea, but I mean this stuff happens in real life to people and I thought it would really help develop Chelsea's storyline. I still have A LOT more to do with all of these characters (Rae, Chels and Eddie) but everyone wanted to know what happened with Chels and Ben so there you go. If you want me to keep updating you gotta hook me up with those comments. Thanks ya'll!
