Disclaimer: The Pretender is not mine…let’s repeat this to ourselves…The Pretender is not mine…The Pretnder is not mine…I’ve brainwashed you all now. By the way, as long as the characters continue to live in my head, they’re a part of me and so, in some small way, they are mine.

Summary: Jarod and Ms. Parker exchange poems via the internet as he tries to convince her to end the chase.

Author’s Note: Hah, my third Pretender fan fiction at one time, I really have too much time on my hands…sigh…but it’s oh so much fun.

If I Stumble

By Bec-Bec

Chapter 1…if there are more chapters…

To Ms. Parker

From: Wonder Boy

If I Stumble

If I stumble,

I’ll fall right into that net you’ve had waiting all of these years.

And, would you release me?

Would you let me go now?

Haven’t we changed?

Hasn’t the chase changed?

If I stumbled on purpose,

If I came to see you,

Would you have them take me away?

Would you shoot me,

If I asked to stay?

Would you stay with me?

I’ll let you catch me then.

I’ll be yours then.

To: Lab Rat

From: Ice Queen

The Chase Never Ends

The chase never ends.

It will never end.

We’re stuck in hell forever.

You know and I know,

That the chase never ends.

So, you keep running,

I’ll keep chasing.

This choice isn’t ours to make.

It was never ours to make.

We play their game.

We play it well.

So, don’t change the rules.

You run,

I chase,

That’s the way it is.

You run,

I chase.

To: Ms. P

From: Wonder Boy

But, What If I Didn’t Run?

But, what if I didn’t run?

What if you didn’t chase?

What if we stopped it?

Couldn’t you be with me then?

Couldn’t you be mine then?

I’ll end it now,

Just give the word,

And It stops.

It will stop right now.

I’ll end it now.

All I need is one word.

To: Pez Head

From: Ice Queen

I Can’t Give You That Word

I can’t give you that word.

I can’t give you my heart,

Because I have no heart to give.

They took it away long ago.

They broke us long ago.

So, stop trying to confuse me.

I want you back at the Centre,

And I won’t give up the chase.

You’ll come back to the Centre.

To: Parker

From: Jarod

They Didn’t Break Us

They didn’t break us.

Scars heal.

Hearts can still love.

I’m not coming back to the Centre.

I’m not coming back ever.

It’s you, now,

Or I’m gone.

I can dissappear that easily.

I can dissappear that quickly.

It’s you, now,

Or it’s goodbye.

To: Jarod

From: Ms. P

Then Goodbye It Must Be

Then goodbye it must be.

I’m not coming with you.

I can’t.

I’ll say goodbye.

I can say goodbye.

I can let you go.

I must let you go.

You must go.

This is how the chase will end.

You’ll go,

I’ll stay.

This is how the chase must end.

To: Parker

From: I’m yours

Are You Sure?

Are you sure?

Is this really how it must end?

You’ll release me?

You’ll let me go away?

I’ll be gone tomorrow.

I’ll be gone today.

I’ll be gone right now.

And then, it really will be goodbye.

Are you sure?

To: My Friend

From: Your Friend

I Have To Let You Go

I have to let you go.

I let go of everyone I love.

I let them leave.

They can’t stay.

You can’t stay.

You have to go away.

Leave me here.

I’ll be fine.

Leave me here and go.

To: Parker

From: I Love You

You Don’t Have To…

You don’t have to let go of everyone.

You don’t have to stop yourself from loving.

I love you.

I always have.

Come away.

Come away with me.

Dissappear withme.

Dissappear tomorrow.

Dissappear today.

Dissappear now.

I love you

To: My Best Friend

From: Your Best Friend

Come Away?

Come away?

Be gone?

Impossible.

It’ can’t happen

They’ll always be there.

They’ll always be behind us.

They’ll always be hurting us.

They’ll always pull us apart,

Because we cannot be.

I cannot come away.

But, you go.

You be gone.

Leave me

To: My Best Friend

From: I Really Do Love You

I’ll Never Leave

I’ll never leave,

Til you leave with me.

If you love me,

Be with me.

You can’t release me,

Because I won’t let go.

I’m not leaving,

Until you leave with me.

To: You

From: Me

No

No,

You must go.

Run.

Run free,

And don’t look back.

Don’t look for me.

I’m gone.

I don’t exist.

Once you’re gone,

I’m just a Centre operative.

To: You

From: I Love you

…You’re Always You

No, you’re always you.

You always exist.

To me…you’re everything.

All os these years,

You’ve been everything.

Can’t you see?

Can’t you come,

And be free?

To: I Love You

From: I Love You Too

Goodbye

Goodbye.

It has to end with goodbye

Everything ends with goodbye.

We end with goodbye.

To: Goodbye

From: I Die With Goodbye

I Send You Only This

I send you only this,

Only this,

And nothing more.

You wish it to be goodbye,

And so it is.

But you must know,

I die with goodbye.

‘Here’s to my love!

…Thus with a kiss I die!’

Author’s Note: I might leave it at this because sometimes things just have sad endings. The last line, "Here’s to my love!…Thus with a kiss I die!" is from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet…how tragically reminiscent of Parker and Jarod’s relationship…I hope you noticed how the To and From’s changed…just an extra touch. Please review! I wanna know if this keeps going or not and it’s entirely up to you.
