As the girls made their way downstairs, Eddie greeted them in the kitchen.

"Hey you two! You're finally up and ready!" he said as he sat down at the table. Eddie was already primped and ready hours before the girls even made their way downstairs. He was always an early person, which was why he drove the three of them up to the beach house; he knew the girls would probably be asleep half way up.

Raven walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed the orange juice and milk for the three of them. Chelsea was the milk drinker, and Eddie was the orange juice man. Raven however, couldn't wait for that hot cup of coffee to slowly make its way down her throat.

"Hello children!" As the three turned around, they were faced with the maid of the house.

"My name is Claire and I take care of the place. Your aunt wanted me to let you know Raven that she had to go out of town for business but would be returning tomorrow."

"Oh wow so we have the house all to ourselves?" Raven asked with glee as she turned on the coffee maker.

"Yes but don't worry" Claire started, "I will be here so no funny business!" With that she walked out of the kitchen and continued on to her daily chores.

"Oh man you guys this is perfect!" Raven started as she poured her coffee. "My aunt Lo is out of town and the bonfire is tonight. That means we get to stay out as late as we want!" Raven jumped up and down almost spilling her freshly poured cup of coffee.

"Rae you know we cant be animals here!" Eddie started. "We still have some rules to follow….lets just be careful and see what the bonfire brings tonight."

"Eddie you know that this bonfire is all about Parker don't you? Parker this and Parker that!" Chelsea mimicked as she slowly sipped her milk and grabbed a fresh croissant that the cook had recently made.

"Chelsea what is your problem with Parker? God cant you just be happy that I found a cute guy who is interested in me?" Raven snapped back as she sat down. How could Chelsea not be happy for her? She had always stuck by her side whenever she had problems with Ben. Something is definitely up her ass this trip, but I'm not going to let it ruin my chances with Parker. Raven said to herself a she drank her coffee and bit into a muffin.

"Look Raven all I am saying is I want you to be careful with him, I mean you don't even know him yet!" Chelsea responded as she looked Raven in the eye.

"Chelsea I know! You don't have to give me the mother talk every time I talk about Parker…..what is going on with you? It's like you don't want me to be with Parker or something…..and all the times I was there for you and Ben and the least….."

When Chelsea heard that name Ben it was all she could do but throw up. It was as if Raven had thrown a knife at her when she said that name. She quickly got up from the table and threw her breakfast back down, surprising both Eddie and Raven.

"You guys have fun at the bonfire tonight! I'm really not feeling all up for it so….." she tried to say before the tears came running down her cheeks, "have fun!" With that Chelsea ran up the stairs and slammed the door shut.

Eddie and Raven just sat in silence and looked at one another. What had gotten into Chelsea lately? She used to be so bubbly and giggly, but now she was a complete mess. It was almost as if she hit a brick wall emotional and was shutting down in front of them.

"What just happened?" Eddie asked as he leaned in closer to Raven.

"Eddie I don't know what is going on with her, she won't talk to me? I'm really worried. You know the other day when we were shopping Ben called and…"

"Wait! What?" Eddie interrupted.

"Yeah he called and I basically hung up the phone on him and then Chelsea just freaked. She ran away from me and then was crying her eyes out when I found her. Then I asked her what happened between the two of them and she blew it off and just went inside to shop. Eddie something happened there and we have to find out what it is so we can help her." As Raven finished her sentence she could feel the burning tears forming in her eyes. She hated to see Chelsea like this; this was hr best friends and she couldn't do anything to help her….it killed her.

Eddie pushed his chair back and gathered Raven in his arms for a big hug. He could quietly hear Raven's muffled cries as she pushed her face into his chest and let loose. All Eddie could do was to stroke Ravens hair and squeeze her every once in a while. Raven suddenly stopped crying and wrapped her hands around Eddie's back as she pulled out of his hug.

"Rae" Eddie said, "I think she just needs some time to think alone. Maybe if we stop hounding her about the situation she will finally come up to us. If she doesn't, than we will think of something else to do to get her to talk."

Raven knew everything Eddie was saying made sense. If I stop bothering her about this whole thing, than maybe in her own time she will approach me and I will finally be able to help her Raven thought as she got up from the table.

"Thanks Eddie, for everything! So are you going to come to the bonfire tonight?" she asked.

"Yeah I will go with you Rae! How bout we just hang here until then and see if Chelsea comes downstairs, then we will head out." Eddie responded.

"Good Idea! Let's just chill here and see what goes…oh and the bonfire starts at 10 so can you keep track for me?"

"Sure!" Eddie said as he looked at the clock. "We have a lot of time until then so how about we find a movie to watch?"

With that, the two friends made their way into the huge entertainment section of aunt Lo's house and sat and waited for Chelsea to appear at the bottom of the steps.

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

10:00 pm

"Raven come on lets go its 10 already!" Eddie yelled up the stairs as he looked at his watch. Raven had gone up to change about 2 hours ago; how could any girl take this long to get ready? He wondered.

"I'm coming right now" he heard from upstairs, "I just wanted to tell Chelsea where we are going!"

The truth was that Eddie and Raven didn't see Chelsea that whole night. She didn't come down the stairs once. However, Raven would go check on her periodically and reported back to Eddie that she was asleep.

"Okay lets go" Raven said as she came down the stairs. She had changed into long dark jeans and her black sandals, along with her strapless black and white D&G shirt. Eddie kept staring at how her body moved in her clothes. Her skin seemed to sway with every step she took, while her long black hair hung down just above the small of her back.

"Ok and were out!" Eddie said as he snapped out of his funk. Stop staring man….keep your cool.

The walk down to the beach was filled with conversation about Chelsea. Eddie and Raven really confided in one another as they started to reach the end of their walk.

"Oh man Eddie how do I look? I want to make parker drool!" she said as she moved her hands down her body and turned from side to side.

"Rae you look beauti…."

"RAVEN!" Parker yelled from across the beach. Eddie was cut off on cue, as he was just about to tell Raven how beautiful she looked; or how beautiful she always looked.

Raven shrieked under her breath to Eddie with a "wish me luck" and gave him a wink and a pinch on the arm. All Eddie could do was watch Raven run over to a new guy……a probably better guy than he would ever be for her.

"Parker….hey!" Raven said as she made her way over to him. She had decided to take her sandals off half way through her run and was holding them in her hands. Her hair was all over the place as she ran as well.

Parker caught up with her and quickly pulled her into a hug. "Hey beautiful!" he said, making Eddie cringe as he overheard him; just what I was going to say he cursed to himself.

Eddie made his way over to the keg stand and got caught up in a game of beer pong with the beach guys. All in all he was having a good time; except when he looked over and saw Raven and Parker.

"Thanks for inviting us Parker! I'm sorry Chelsea couldn't come she was…….sick." she said as she sat down on the cold sand. Parker sat down with her and put his polo sweater over her cold shoulders.

"Well I'm glad that you could have at least come Raven." He said as he moved into her body, causing the air to leave the hole that once surrounded the two. "You know you never cease to amaze me; you still look amazing even on a beach in the dark." He said as he looked into her eyes.

Raven was feeling the butterflies going crazy inside her stomach. This guy was totally flirting with her to the max; however she would always let him make the first move. She decided to look him in the eyes and say, "Well I just wanted to look good tonight."

"Raven….." Parker started as he leaned in to her. Raven responded by leaning in towards him, causing their lips to meet. It was like a fire filled raven's stomach, as she felt his lips lightly place kisses upon her own. He then slowly opened his mouth and let his tongue trace lines along Raven's bottom lip, until she opened her own mouth causing their tongues to meet.

Parker then wrapped his arms around her waist and slowly pushed her body down towards the sand. He then placed himself on top of her as he continued to place kisses all along Raven's lips, ear, neck and cheek. Raven's body shuddered every time she felt his warm lips meet the flesh of her skin. She felt like her whole body was on fire and Parker was the only one who could put it out and start it back up again at the same time.

Parker lifted himself off of Raven and looked down at her. "Raven you are absolutely amazing! I just met you and already I can't stop thinking about you. Please tell me you aren't seeing anyone."

Raven giggled as she pulled her head up and leaned it on the palm of her hand. "Parker do you think I would be with anyone if I was just making out with you?" she said as she slapped him on the arm. Parker laughed back and got up off the sand and reached his hand out for Raven. She returned the gesture and grabbed his hand, only to be picked up at once and swept off her feet.

"Tell me you will be my girlfriend Raven or I think my vacation will be ruined." Raven tilted her head up and placed another long passionate kiss on his lips as she replied "Of course I will!"

Parker, still holding Raven, ran over to the edge of the beach and placed Raven's feet in the water she screamed at how cold it was, the cold water making goosebumps all over her skin. He ran over to her and splashed water at her feet and as ran back towards him and knocked him into the water.

Raven fell in the water as well and rolled on top of him. She didn't care that her favorite outfit would probably be ruined by the salt water; all she wanted to do was kiss this boy and feel his warm muscular arms around her waist.

Hours seemed to go by as the two lovebirds continued to fiercely make out with one another. Eddie had appeared earlier looking drunk as a skunk, telling Raven that he was heading back to the house. This made her realize that it was probably at least 1 in the morning, and should be getting back to Chelsea.

Parker picked Raven back to her feet and walked with her back to her beach house. Raven was starting to get tired, so Parker carried her piggyback half way through their walk. This has got to be the most romantic thing in my entire life Raven thought as they made their way towards the front door.

"Well we are finally here; I wish this night would never be over." Parker said as he placed Raven back down on the ground. He then smoothed down her hair that hung loosely around her shoulders. Raven then fixed his still wet and sandy hair by trying to fix the cowlick that kept popping up.

"I swear I'm going to think about you until I get to see you again." Parker said as he leaned back down and placed his lips on hers. This time he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into him, causing her to get on her tip toes in order to reach his face. She massaged his face around her finger tips as she pulled away from the kiss.

"Call me okay?" she said as she started to walk away from him.

"I will don't worry!" Parker said as he started to walk off. "Don't you go and find another guy beautiful…..your my girl!" With that Parker disappeared into the dark streets, making his way back to his house.

Raven watched him until she couldn't see him anymore and then made her way into the door. She quietly made her way up the stairs, not to disturb anyone and wake them up. She peeked in one Eddie to make sure he was in his bed and noticed he was on top of his sheets still in his party clothes. She had to laugh at the sight before her eyes.

"Eddie wake up and get under the sheets." Raven said as Eddie reluctantly pulled himself off the bed and threw all his clothes off but his boxers. He flopped back down on the bed with a hard THUMP and Raven pulled the covers around him. She then placed a gentle kiss on his head and giggled as she walked out the door.

As Raven made her way into the room she shared with Chelsea, she walked over to her best friend and stared at her. She had noticed that Chelsea had her cell phone next to her body as she was sleeping. Not thinking anything of it, Raven pulled the covers tighter around Chelsea and walked over to the closet.

Once she was in her pajamas Raven wasted no time in brushing her teeth and jumping into bed. She quickly grabbed her phone and looked at the screen.

ONE NEW TEXT she saw on the screen.

RAVEN YOU BEAUTIFUL GIRL. I CANT WAIT TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN. WITH LOVE. PARKER.

Raven laughed as she texted back

I CANT WAIT EITHER YOU HOT SURFER BOY.

"Parker this night was amazing!" Raven whispered to herself as she shifted down in her sheets and turned the light off. As Raven closed her eyes, Chelsea opened hers only to let a small tear trickle down her cheek.
