"Where I Wanna Be"
A Degrassi Fan Fiction
Chapter 10: Can You Stand The Rain
{{{no1}}}
Maria walked out of her building in a long sleeved pink belly shirt, tight black pants, and a pair of black and white air force ones. Her hair was dyed brown and was flowing in curls.
"Hey," She greeted Jimmy, leaning in for a kiss. Jimmy's conscious led him to pull away.
Maria looked confused. "Whas wrong?"
"Nothing." Jimmy said and gave her a kiss.
"So we're going to that party tonight?" Maria asked.
"Yeah." Jimmy responded. He had checked and made sure Raquel was busy tonight, before picking up Maria. He also made sure it wasn't really all Degrassi students. Nobody who knew he and Raquel were going out would be there.
"Good, let's bounce."
They walked into the party and immediately, Maria wanted to dance. After four or five songs, Jimmy got tired and they sat down.
"You so cute," He said to Maria. She giggled and gave him a kiss.
Chris, who happened to be deejaying that night, stood nearby and stared as the two started making out. Shaking his head in disgust, he walked away. He had to tell Raquel...how could he not?

I stood outside of the apartment, hand posed to knock on the door. But I remembered to check my mirror to make sure I didn't have red eyes. I also wiped my face. Finally, I knocked.
"Raquel!" Jimmy opened the door and gave me a kiss. He pulled back and looked at me.
"What's wrong?" He asked, ushering me inside. I threw my stuff in the bedroom and plopped down on the sofa. I was supposed to be staying the night.
"Nothing. I'm just really tired. And it's raining." I said. "And something else...."
"What?" Jimmy asked, sitting down next to her.
"Jimmy..." I stared at him and shook my head. "Who's Maria?"
"This girl I know, why?" He asked nervously.
"'Cause somebody saw y'all kissing at the party...Jimmy are you cheating on me?"
"Naw! Whoever said that wasn't a reliable source..." Jimmy said. He sounded so genuine. His words sounded truthful.
"Raquel I swear-" He started.
"Just shhh. I wanna hear the rain. Lemme lay down." I curled up with Jimmy, head on his chest.
The rain fell, making a soothing rhythm against the outside ground and roof.
"I can always count on you Jimmy..." I said in a sleepy tone.
"Um, yeah...you know that."
On a perfect day
I know that I can count on you
When that's not possible
Tell me can you weather the storm
'cause I need somebody who will stand by me
Through the good times and bad times
They will always, always be right there
Finally, Jimmy spoke, "Can you stand the rain?"
"I love it." I replied.
"I love you. " Jimmy said. I smiled and he gave her a kiss.
Sunny days, everybody loves them
Tell me
Can you stand the rain
Storms will come
This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain
"Jimmy?" I asked.
"What?"
"Thanks." I said.
"For what?" Jimmy asked.
"For...being...Jimmy." He smiled and gave me a kiss, which devopled into a little more. We settled back and let things fall into place.
Love unconditional
I'm not asking this of you
We've got to make it last
I'll do whatever needs to be done
Cause I need somebody who will stand by me
When it's time they won't run
They will always, always be right there
Sunny days, everybody loves them
Tell me
Can you stand the rain
Storms will come
This we know for sure
Can you stand the rain
