Eddie had stayed up for what seemed like hours the night before, trying to figure out what he was going to say to Raven when he saw her. He had finally decided to make sure she listened to what he had to say, then he would decide how to tell her.
He sat in the living room, waiting while Cory went to let Raven know she had company. Turning when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs, Eddie saw Raven, and immediately said, "Raven, we need to talk."
When Raven continued to walk through the room without acknowledging him, Eddie declared, "I know about the vision."
Raven stopped in her tracks when she heard that. "What? How did you find out about my vision?"
"Cory called me last night, after he talked to you. He told me all about it. But what I don't understand is why I didn't hear about it from you."
Raven was silent for a moment. "I didn't tell you because I was afraid of you getting hurt."
"Oh, and ignoring me was going to make it go away? Rae, that hurt worse than you telling me that Chantel was going to break up with me."
"Eddie, I'm sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing. It's just that...well, I guess it scared me a little that I saw Chantel breaking up with you because of me."
"Well, do you know what, Rae? I made sure that your vision didn't come true."
Raven looked a bit surprised. "You did? How?"
"Chantel called me last night, but she didn't break up with me. I broke up with her."
"Eddie, maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't understand. Why did you break up with Chantel?"
"After Cory told me about your vision, I realized something. And do you know what it was? In order to keep your vision from happening, you decided to start ignoring me. But I didn't know what was going on with you, and I spent all of my time trying to get you to talk to me. I barely spent any time with Chantel, because I only wanted to be with you. Even without realizing it, Rae, you were causing that vision of yours to come true. I started thinking of all the things we've done together, and it hit me that even though some of your visions have gotten us into loads of trouble, I have never wanted it any other way. I've bailed you out on so many different occasions, and I figured I shouldn't stop now, especially since you did try to spare my feelings. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, if you really care about my happiness, then you'll prove it by going out with me tonight."
Raven felt her face getting warm. "Like on a date? Do friends do that sort of thing?"
"Looking at the situation from where I am, I'd have to say that the answer is yes. I've never been more sure about anything, Rae. This feels right."
Eddie took Raven by the hand and, drawing her in close, kissed her. They pulled away, and Raven smiled as she looked down at their hands. "I agree. It does feel right."
