Why, Georgia, Why?

Chapter One: Covered In Rain

"It wasn't love at first sight, it was mere…interest."

These days with the world getting colder
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I planned
Tonight were gonna order in

Something was wrong about the girl drenched in cold rain. She seemed to glow gloomily against the smoke stack sky as if she belonged in the downpour, dressed in a long trench coat wrapped around her small body, cotton-candy-blue colored hair fanned across her back. The way she stared out at the roaring ocean made it seem as if she had no earthly idea that it was raining. Tiny sighs that were lost in the pings of rain escaped her lips ever so often, and her small, pink lips were twisted in a dreamy, half-smile.

Drinking wine and watching CNN
It's dark I know but then again
It's the brightest thing I got
Cause I'm covered in rain
No I'm covered in rain

Whether she was in love, dreaming, or insane was yet to be seen by the only other person outside. Standing not far behind, he did nothing but observe the strange girl's actions, which weren't much. Red hair turned a shade darker in the rain, plastered all the way to his lower back, and beautiful emerald eyes blinked water out of his eyes ever so often.

"I love the rain," the girl said suddenly, without turning around. Her voice was sorrowful, but sweet, and made the boy behind her yearn for more words from her mouth. They never came, and she retained her statue-like posture by the rail, back turned towards the cozy, fire-warmed tea-shops and restraunts that people had retreated to at the slightest sight of a mist from the heavy gray clouds above. No one saw the two just standing there, like maniacs, in the freezing, pelting trench, like they had reverted to an invisible state of existence.

Fire woods to fire places
Summer stolen, fallen places
People watching, all the people watching, everybody watching me
Standing by the missing signs at the CVS by the checkout line

Abruptly, as if she had planned to startle the being behind her, she straightened, and turned around, staring at him with eyes that matched the stretch of sky behind her. He stared back, more intrigued than ever by her. Locked in a melancholy staring competition, she abandoned the game, walking away with a splash of boots in water puddles. He spun around to watch her leave down the street, shoulders hunched, gray trench coat

blowing with the wind she walked against.

She puts her quiet hands in mine
Cause she's the brightest thing I got
When you're covered in rain
Cause I'm covered in rain
Cause I'm covered in rain
No I'm covered in rain

" George Ingraham!" she shouted out, wind cutting her words to just a whisper to his ears. " My name's Georgia Ingraham!"

With those words, she disappeared like smoke, leaving only the teenager standing in the middle of the pier.

It's alright
If you don't want to go on
It's alright
If you don't want to be alone
It's alright

" Hello, Georgia, I'm Kurama," he said absently to the gray dusk.

If you don't want to go home
I understand
I understand
I understand
You and me and everyone, covered in rain.
