"Don't worry about Binky, Mags, she's a tough girl," Tim drawled.
"I know, but she just disappeared."
"She does that from time to time," JR said. "It's her way of dealing with the ghosts in her life."
"Ghosts?"
"Sarah, Rain, Laura, her father, and probably Frankie. I know she doesn't say it, but she hurts daily."
"Cause of me?"
"No, not you. I think its more than that."
"Oh ok."
A loud rumble of thunder crashed, causing Maggie to jump.
"Sounds like a nasty storm coming in," Tim commented.
"Yeah, it does."

Bianca wandered around the boathouse, watching the storm moving in. She was so confused, her heart felt as if it were breaking into a thousand pieces. SHe felt as if she kept seeing Frankie every moment she saw Maggie, but it wasn't Frankie. She saw Maggie, and she was in love with Maggie. She would always love Frankie, but she wanted to be with Maggie.
The rain started to pour down as the thunder and lightening crashed around her. She felt the rain on her face as she started to walk in the pouring rain.
//You know I never meant to see you again
and I only passed by as a friend
All this time I stayed out of sight
I started wondering why//
She never knew about Maggie Stone, the twin sister of her dead lover. But she saw her, thinking it was Frankie. It killed her to find out that wasn't Frankie, but then it put her at ease, knowing Frankie was probably in a better, safer place.
//Now I, I wish it would rain down, down on me
Yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
You said you didn't need me in your life
I guess you were right
Well I never meant to cause you no pain
But it looks like I did it again//
Then she tried to kiss Maggie on their birthday. She wanted Maggie, not Frankie's ghost, and of course when Maggie freaked out, she ran, and crashed her car. Then her house burnt down and she lost the letter from Frankie, only pushing her more towards falling in love with Maggie.
She stopped, feeling the cool rain drip down her face. Her hair was completely wet, along with her clothes. She didn't care, her mind on one thing and one thing only. Maggie. She started to cry.
//Now I, I wish it would rain down, down on me
Yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
Though your hurt is gone, mines hanging on, inside
And I know it's eating me through every night and day
I'm just waiting on your sign//
Maggie had a feeling where Bianca had been. She left Tim and JR, saying that she had to find Bianca. She told Tim she just wanted to be friends, and he somewhat understood. She ran to the boat house, and when she arrived, she saw Bianca standing there, crying.
"Bianca," Maggie called out.
Bianca turned to see Maggie standing there, just as drenched as she was. Maggie slowly made her way towards Bianca, grabbing her tightly when she was within an arms length.
"You scared me, Bean."
//'Cos I know, I know I never meant to cause you no pain
And I realize I let you down
But I know in my heart of heart of hearts
I know I'm never gonna hold you again
Now I....I wish it would rain down, down on me
Yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now//
Maggie didn't give Bianca the chance to talk, as she claimed the brunettes lips with her own.
"I love you, Bean."
"Me?"
"Yes, you."
"You aren't afraid of Frankie's ghost?"
"Not in a million years. Are you?"
"No, I see you, Maggie, not Frankie. I loved her, but I love you."
They kissed again, as the rain encaptured both of them. Maggie
realized Anna was right, you have to grasp love with both hands and
hold on tightly.
