The icy grey sky restlessly grumbled. The thick blackened clouds were dragged down by the heavy rain which it held in its delicate frame. The clouds which struggled to withstand the burden of the weight which the rain held, soon gave in.

The rain poured down over the city with a roar. The sound of emptiness was disrupted by the loud gregarious boom of thunder. The cold icy rain pierced her pale and wet skin. The rain ran across the slippery path, Beverly's posture weakened by the weight of her soaked clothes. The quality of darkness shifted in the sky but the rain kept pouring. The harsh rain obliterated the crystal reflection of the sky and turned it into an disorientated chaos.

"I'm worried about her" Adam mumbled

The girls and Adam were all leaning against the window inside the house, their focus only landing on the short hair blonde that sat on the beach in the pouring rain

It's been a week since Crystal left and Beverly's mind has never been the same. She hasn't slept a wink since she came back from the hospital, she's been pacing around the house like a maniac and cleaning any spot of dust she sees.

Anything to distract her mind and heart from the fact that she couldn't hold Aquamarine in her arms.

"She's going to get herself killed" Josie groaned

No matter how much they tried, they just couldn't get through to the blonde. For days, she'd lock herself in her room, staring at the blank canvas of a wall which she hoped to one day decorate with pictures of her wedding day and her fingers intertwined with her girlfriend

"I tried talking to her lastnight, but it was like talking to a tree" Allie mumbled

"It doesn't matter. She doesn't want to talk, she just wants Aqua" Adam said as he glanced out the window

Beverly sat on the beach, her thighs pressed against her chest and her chin on her knees, wrapping her arms around her legs as she stared off to the horizon

The ocean breathed, her surface rising and falling with rhythmic ease. The waves became her pulse that day, the echo of the souls she kept safe in her cradle of brine, the heavy downpour of rain interrupted the ocean's calm pushing and pulling tide to the grainy sand of the beach

Water washed over her skin so strongly that it felt as if she was in the flow of a river rather than a rain shower, one that left her standing yet lets her know that it was here to stay for a while. And so the only thing to do was to keep sitting, to accept it as easily as the air she was breathing, to see it run over the earth beneath the flat and smooth area of her toes

"Come on Aqua, I know you're near" Bev whispered to herself

Each raindrop is the drop that kissed her skin in those days that her and Aqua were together. Each one was the same because they sung of those such treasured memories, of the comforting love that remained and the hopes she hold for their future.

She was determined to be the first one to see Aqua return.

Beverly had been studying the weather and it's patterns for the past week, she knew the weather was voilent everytime a mermaid appeared on land. Beverly spent hours in the library, running around to the news station and examining every inch of research she had on the climate.

For she had faith in Crystal and was determined to get the love of her life back.

She hadn't spoken to anyone for the week, neither had she eaten anything. Her mind wasn't where it needed to be, nor was her heart.
