<Bethany's POV>

When we went back inside Raven's house, I noticed my dad had come and joined them. My dad, and Christopher were in the corner talking about some sort of car, and my mom and Trula were over in the corner talking about some new book club thingy.

"Oh hello girls!" Said Christopher. "Back so soon?"

"Yeah, Bethany wasn't feeling so good." Raven said, looking over at me.

"I'm fine now, though." I added quickly. The last thing I needed was my worried parents to be buzzing around me for the rest of the night.

"Okay, but Bethany?" My mom said.

"Yeah mom?"

"The Redferns have offered to let you spend the night, if you'd like." My mom said, and Trula smiled.

"Actually mom, as much as I'd like to, I think that maybe I should stay home. Raven and I are going to be hanging out tomorrow, and I'd like to put away a few more things." I said a bit reluctant. Trula's smile fades, but she nods understandingly.

"I could help you move if you'd like!" Raven said, smiling.

"Well, and I wouldn't have a problem with Raven spending the night over at our place." Mom says, looking over at dad for approval.

"That's fine with me." Says dad.

"Yeah!! Thanks! Your the best!" I said happily.

"That's fine with us." Christopher said, with a half grin.

We went up to Raven's room, and I helped her pack a bag for my house. I told her not to pack to much stuff, in case it would get lost in my clutter of items. We settled with some pjs, a tooth brush, makeup, and a washcloth. She also grabbed jeans and a cute T-shirt for tomorrow, and lastly she grabbed 'The fault in our stars' dvd for us to watch tonight. Then we hung out and chatted for a while on Raven's bed. We took some selfies, and I picked out my favorite one of us smiling really nicely. I posted it on Instagram with the caption: 'Just chillen with ma homie! 💋' and posted it. Raven didn't have an Instagram, but I was gonna set her up one tonight. Within seconds I had already gotten 400,000 likes, and a battle of comments saying 'first like!' or 'first comment!'

"Raven! Beth!" I heard my moms warm voice call. "Time to go!" We walked down the steps, and I glanced at the clock hanging above the mantel in the living room.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed. "It's already 10:30pm! I thought it was like 6! I haven't even had dinner!"

"Oh yeah, neither have I." Said Raven looking from my mom to hers.

"That's okay." My mom said. "I've got some spaghetti I can heat up at home, and a tub of icecream." My mom said smiling at us.

"I love icecream!" Squealed Raven happily.

I heard my dad tell Christopher goodbye, while patting his shoulder. "Hey man, thanks for coming." He said, smiling.

"Anytime! And you better get back here soon, and I'll show you that car I was telling you about!" Christopher said, with a million dollar smile.

"Yes, please be sure to come back soon." Trula said to mom, hugging her.

"Next time, you'll be coming over to my place for dinner." My mom said.

"Hey mom, me and Raven are gonna head back home, okay?" I told my mom.

"Okay that's fine." My mom responded.
