"Oh my God, I feel like my head is seriously going to explode!" Raven said as she rolled over on her stomach on her bed. She hadn't realized how hard she had partied the night before. She never really drank to begin with, but the temptation was all too much for her to ignore it.
"Hey Chelsea are you alive over there?" Raven asked as she slowly lifted her head off the pillow to look to the other side of the room.
"Ughghghh…." was the reply she got. It was no wonder however; Chelsea drank more than anyone at the party combined. She had to be feeling awful.
Raven got out of bed and grabbed her pounding head as she made her way over to Chelsea. She had noticed that they both were still in their party clothes, and were still wearing the same make-up as the night before. Raven could tell they both looked like they got beat up from all the eyeliner and mascara that had surrounded their already red eyes.
"Raven I feel like I'm going to die." Chelsea said as she turned over on her back to look up at her.
"Chels its okay we are just experiencing our first hangover. It should wear off once we got some meds in and hopefully some breakfast." Raven however didn't feel like she would be able to hold anything down this moment, but she had to tell her something.
Chelsea sat up very slowly in bed and grabbed her head as well. She felt like someone was banging a hammer inside her skull with every blink she made.
"How did we even get back up here? I know we couldn't have climbed all those steps." Chelsea said as she looked at Raven.
"I don't remember. I'm sure Eddie or someone walked us home or what not. I don't really remember what happened towards the end of the night. Parker and I were….." Raven glanced down at her wrist as she noticed the bruise that was formed. Now she remembered. Parker had physically hurt her that night and she had wanted to scream. I can't believe that actually happened. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it; alcohol can affect one's behavior. I should just leave it alone she thought as she walked back to her bed and sat down.
Chelsea had noticed Raven glance off into space with a worried look on her face. Why was she so quiet this morning? Anyone who knew Raven knew that she wasn't a quiet person at all. She usually was all jumpy and giddy after being with a boy; instead, she was so subdued it worried Chelsea.
Chelsea got up from her bed and slowly made her way over to Raven.
"Rae….is something bothering you this morning? You're awfully quiet." Chelsea said as she sat down.
Raven just looked off into space without saying a word. Silence filled the room. After about 5 minutes of nothingness, the girls heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Raven said as she jumped off the bed, almost seeming uncomfortable sitting with Chelsea.
Eddie walked in the door carrying a brown paper bag and a plastic bag as well.
"Morning partiers!" Eddie yelled as the girls grabbed their already aching heads. "Oh sorry, I forgot that you all had some fun last night." Eddie laughed as he sat on the couch by Raven's bed.
"What's in the bag?" Chelsea asked as she laid down on Raven's bed.
"I brought the medicine that will cure any hangover! Ok let's see we have Advil, Pepto Bismol, two Coke's and I also went and got you guys some breakfast. How does plain waffles sound?" Eddie looked over at his two best friends, as Raven and Chelsea both grabbed the Advil and Pepto Bismol.
"I see we aren't exactly in the mood for food yet." Eddie said as she handed the girls some water for them to take the medicine.
Both girls immediately felt like their heads and stomachs slowly came back to normal, as they felt the pills and the Pepto Bismol run down their throats.
Eddie watched Raven as she reached into the bag and grabbed the plain waffles out for both her and Chelsea. As she bit into the waffle, Eddie noticed the bruise again on Raven's wrist. He couldn't believe what had happened the other night. Parker abused her; he knew Raven wouldn't think that happened, but it did.
"Umm Raven?" Eddie asked as he watched her bite off another piece of the waffle.
"Yeah?"
"What do you plan on doing about Parker?" he asked. Every time he said his name he got even angrier. He didn't know if Raven was going to end things with him right now or try to work things out. He was hoping she would end everything and spare him the worry.
"I don't understand what you mean." Raven said as she shifted her eyes to the floor. She didn't want Eddie or Chelsea to notice her concern about Parker. Yes, he did hurt her, but did he mean it or was it the alcohol? She didn't want to break up with him because he was the first boy to notice her and not to mention he always made her feel sexy. Was that the real Parker? Raven thought to herself as she looked back at Eddie.
"Raven you can't just expect him to act like that once. You know he will probably do it again!" Eddie replied; his voice raised a little.
Chelsea was oblivious to everything that was going on. She hadn't heard of what happened between Raven and Parker and was concerned that she hadn't told her either. Of course, Chelsea was keeping her own dark secret, but this was Raven she was talking about. Rae tells me everything she said sadly to herself. She had to know what happened.
"What are you guys talking about?" she asked.
"Nothing Chelsea, don't worry about it." Raven replied as she looked at Eddie. He had no right to tell Chelsea and make her even more depressed about something else. This was between her and Parker.
"Raven what happened?" Chelsea asked again, only to be returned in complete silence.
"Parker abused her!" Eddie replied quickly and pointed to her wrist.
Chelsea couldn't believe what she saw. Parker had left the nastiest bruise she had ever seen. How could Raven not be offended by this? No boy had ever treated her like this. I knew I hated that asshole Chelsea said to herself. Oh my God, this is what happened between Ben and I. I can't let this happen to Rae she said to herself.
"Raven why didn't you tell me?" Chelsea asked.
"Because it's no BIG deal guys! Parker drank too much that's all. Why do you have to get all up in my business?" Raven yelled as she got up off the bed.
"Raven we just want to help you." Eddie said back as he got to his feet as well.
Raven just stood there and then walked to the dresser and grabbed her purse. If they were going to get into her business, then she would just have to leave. Raven started to make her way to the door when Chelsea quickly stepped in front of her.
"Talk to me Raven." She said as she held her arms out.
"Why the fuck should I talk to you; you don't even tell me anything that happened to you. Get out of my way Chels!" Raven yelled as she waited for her to move.
Chelsea didn't budge. She wasn't going to let Raven leave angry. She had no idea what she would do then. She knew she would run to Parker and he was dangerous.
"Raven I'm not moving until you tell me where you're going."
"I'm going to be with Parker, seeing as you guys can't leave well enough alone. Seriously, back off Chels." With that, Raven pushed Chelsea to the side and ran out the front door and down the street to Parker's house.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eddie and Chelsea stood frozen, as they couldn't believe how Raven had freaked out earlier.
"Eddie how can she go back to Parker after everything he did?" Chelsea asked with tears in her eyes.
"Chels…..I think she is just hurt that's all. She needs some time to think things through and she is probably just going out for a walk." Eddie said as he rubbed Chelsea's arm.
"I hope so." She said as she sat back down on the bed. Chelsea closed her eyes thinking about the events of last night and was imagining what Parker could have done to her. As the image of Parker came to her head, Chelsea quickly flashed back to the horrible events that occurred between her and Ben.
I can't let Raven go back to Parker. I know he is just like Ben.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knock Knock! Raven drummed her fingers on Parker's door as she waited for him to answer. As the door opened Raven was greeted by a boxer clad Parker surprised to see her.
"Hey Raven." Parker said as he looked down to the ground.
"Parker I need to talk to you about what happened." Raven replied as she walked in the door. She walked into his living room and sat down on the couch waiting for him to appear. Parker walked into the room and sat in the chair directly across from her.
"Are you home alone?" she asked, not knowing why.
"Yeah….the parents went out for some banquet thing." Parker seemed almost uncomfortable as he shifted in his seat.
"Parker I was really upset last night about what happened and I need to know something that…."
"Raven I want to stop you there." Parker interrupted. "I never in my wildest dreams would ever hurt you. I was so pissed at myself that I was too afraid to call you. I was afraid you would never forgive me for what happened. That's not me Raven." Parker got up off his couch and sat down next to her.
"You know how I feel about you. I could never hurt you baby." He said as he touched her wrist with the bruise. He gently picked it up and placed a gentle kiss upon it.
"I know Parker I was just scared that's all." Raven said as she caressed his face and laid her head into his chest. This boy was everything to her, and she wasn't going to let this get in the way of their relationship. Everything was clear now and they could finally move on.
Parker lifted her face and gently placed a warm kiss on her lips. Raven felt as if her lips were on fire, as she propped herself up on her knees to deepen the kiss with him. Parker rolled her on her back as he positioned himself on top of her and kissed her lips, neck and chest. Raven breathed harder with each kiss she felt on her lips. Parker lifted his head and sat up to look at Raven.
"You are so beautiful Raven. I want you to know that I think I'm falling for you." He said as he looked down at her.
Raven felt the tears sting her eyes as she leaned up to meet his lips with hers. She had never felt this way about a boy before. She felt as if her stomach was doing flips with every second she spent looking at him. To add it all up, he said he was falling for her. She knew he was the one; she could just feel it.
"Do you want to come to my room Raven?" he asked as he sat up on the couch.
Raven nodded and was pulled up to her feet. Parker reached his hand out as Raven latched onto it. She knew what would happen when they got to his room; it was inevitable. However, she knew this was not how it happened in her dream she had, but that didn't matter to her now. They walked up the steps and down the corridor until they reached Parker's room. He opened the door and she walked in.
His room was humongous. It looked as if he had a master suite. Parkers walls were decorated with numerous photo's of surfer's and waves that it looked like he had ridden. The floor however was crowded with clothes and books from school and his bed was decorated with numerous pairs of folded clothes; as if his mother helped him do laundry. Raven had to giggle.
"What's so funny?" Parker asked.
"This room is too neat to be a boy's room." Raven said as she sat down on the bed. Parker followed by sitting next to her, but not before picking up the clothes and sitting them on the floor. Parker sat quiet and looked at Raven.
"Raven I want you to know that I didn't plan this." He said as he glanced at her.
"I know Parker, it's just something that feels like it's time…..I don't know how to explain it. I feel like I'm ready for this. I'm just nervous." She said as she twiddled her fingers and twirled her hair.
"Is this your first time Raven?"
Raven was embarrassed to even tell him that she was. She knew he obviously wasn't; and he was probably a pro at it compared to her. She nodded her head and looked down at the bed.
"I'm surprised how someone like you couldn't have guys following you everywhere you go." Parker said. "I'm glad though because I get to experience your first time with you." Parker kissed her sweetly on the lips and got up. He stood still in the boxers he was before. Raven looked at his toned body and the tattoo that was placed on his upper back. She had never noticed it before. It stretched across his whole upper back and read the words "ITALIAN", definitely a turn on for her.
Parker kissed Raven on the lips and pushed her gently on the bed. He first pulled her shirt over her head and looked down at her. "Beautiful" he said as he unhooked her bra from the front. Like any girl during her first time, Raven quickly covered herself with her arms and looked away. Parker lifted her arms and kissed the inside of her palms as he traced outlines around her chest. Raven felt herself aroused by this attention and shifted underneath him, breathing harder.
She could feel Parker getting excited as well as she felt a bulge in his boxers. All this was new to her, and she had no idea what to do next. Parker slipped her pants from her legs and all she was left in was her panties. He then reached on his nightstand and grabbed the familiar square package off the shelf. She then saw him undo it and slip it on himself as he slide under the covers.
Raven, herself got up and pulled up the covers and got under. She moved into him, grabbing his face and pressing harder onto his lips with every kiss she gave him. She knew they were about to have sex; she was getting even more scared with every minute of it. Parker looked at her and smiled as she reached down and pulled her panties off herself. Parker lifted the covers to look at her.
"You look amazing Raven. Simply beautiful."
The minutes were drawing closer as the big moment was bound to come up. Raven knew they couldn't kiss forever; she had to make the move sooner or later.
Parker looked up at Raven's face and noticed a small tear that had trickled down her cheeks.
"Raven are you okay?" he asked worried.
"I'm sorry Parker; I am scared that's all. I have never done this and I'm just nervous." She said as she let the tears fall down her cheeks. "I want to do this but I'm just….I don't know….I'm sorry." Raven was so embarrassed that she was crying in front of him but she couldn't help it. This was her first time and she always heard stories of how it would feel.
"Raven its okay. You know I would never hurt you. I'm going to take it slow I promise." He said as he climbed on top of her and kissed her lips.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes." She said as she looked at him in his eyes. She saw the love that she had seen the first day they met. She knew this was right. This is right…..right? she said to herself. Too late to worry about that now Raven she judged herself.
Parker slowly guided himself into Raven as he heard her gasp. Raven had never felt a pain like this before. She felt her eyes well up with tears with each movement he made. She knew what was happening; she had taken Sex Ed. She never knew exactly what it would feel like until now.
Parker saw the hurt on her face and asked "should I stop?"
"No." was all that escaped her lips as he moved into her quicker. He could feel her move under him as they both swayed into one another. Raven could feel herself getting closer to the edge as Parker quickened the pace. They both finished together, as they held on to one another and gasped. Raven was still breathing hard as he slowly pulled himself out of her and rolled to his side.
"That was amazing Raven." He panted.
"Thank you Parker. That was amazing as well." She giggled as she sat up in the bed. This was the best day of her life. She was no longer a virgin. To top it all off, her first time was with someone she really cared about. She knew this day would come and it would be fabulous.
Raven looked down at her watch as she realized the time. She didn't realize that she had been at Parker's since early that morning. It was closing in on 7 p.m.
"Shit I have to get home!" she said as she jumped out of bed. She quickly grabbed her bra and panties and put them on. She threw on her shirt and pants and started for the door. Before she walked out Parker grabbed her waist and pulled her into him for a deep kiss.
"I love you Raven……do you love me?" he asked.
Did she? She really didn't know how you could tell if you loved someone but she replied "of course I do", as she placed another kiss on him. "Call me okay?" she yelled as she ran down the stairs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raven got back to the house in no time flat. She opened the front door and peeked into the living room. She saw Eddie and Chelsea on the couch watching MTV and she decided to slip up the steps. Chelsea heard her come in and decided to ask where she was.
Just as Raven got into the room, Chelsea asked "where were you?"
"I was out Chels. No big deal."
"You were out all day where were you?" she asked again.
"I was with Parker okay?" Raven snapped back as she walked into the bathroom. She closed the door in Chelsea's face and took off all her clothes and jumped in the shower.
As soon as Chelsea heard the water running, she decided to open the door. She glanced down at Raven's clothes and noticed the stain on blood on her panties. She knew Raven and her were basically on the same cycle; so she knew it was not her time of month. Chelsea felt herself get sick as she realized that Raven gave herself over to this asshole.
"Raven oh my God." was all she could say.
Raven got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself and walked back into the main room.
"Raven did you have sex with Parker tonight?" Chelsea asked, almost afraid of the answer she would receive.
"Yes Chelsea I did." Raven said as she sat on the bed. "We both thought it was time so it just happened."
"Raven I know you. You told me you would never have sex with someone until you were together for a long time. Did he make you do this?" Chelsea asked as she leaned onto Raven's dresser.
"No Chelsea. God dammit, I just told you that we both decided it was time." Raven yelled at her as she started to comb her wet hair.
"Look can you just back up off of me for like 5 minutes. I just want to get dressed without you in the room."
Chelsea looked hurt with what Raven said. She couldn't believe how much she was changing in front of her eyes. Her best friend was drifting away.
As Chelsea started out the door Raven's cell phone went off.
"Hey baby……tonight was amazing I know….." Raven started off the conversation.
Chelsea walked out and closed the door. She could hear the conversation continue in the other room. Chelsea knew this was not Raven. She knew that Parker had some power over her that she couldn't explain. What's happening to my Raven? She asked herself. Chelsea felt the hot tears burn her eyes as she slid down the door of their room and closed her eyes.
Everything would change.
