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.

If I Stumble
By Bec-Bec
Chapter 2
To: Romeo
From: Juliet
You Don’t Have To Die
You don’t have to die.
It doesn’t have to end with you dying.
You can find someone else.
You can still love.
Love someone else.
Leave me and love another.
Leave me and live.
Don’t die for me.
To: Juliet
From: I’ll Always Die For You
I’d Die For You Anyday
I’d die for you anyday.
That’s why I offered to come back.
That’s why I’ll come back.
But only if…
Only if you come away.
I’ll come back to take you with me.
I’ll come back to take you away.
Come away.
I’ll come back,
If you come away.
To: My Love
From: I Can’t Come
You Have To Go
You have to go.
You have to leave.
You can’t come back.
It’s not safe to come back.
Go and be free.
Live and be free.
To: Please
From: There Is No Freedom
Hah, Free
Hah, free.
Free does not exist.
My heart is not free of you.
My heart will never be free of you.
Please, Parker.
Please.
To: Freedom Fighter
From: If You Love Me, Let Go
Let Go
Let go.
Let go of me.
If you love me, let go.
I love you, so let go.
I’m an illusion that cannot be.
Please, Jarod.
Take your freedom.
Use it well.
Don’t look for me.
Don’t come for me.
Only you can be free.
To:You
From: Me
What If I Trade Me For You?
What if I trade me for you?
What if you run away,
And I come back?
What if I let them take me?
What if I stay with them?
Would you leave?
Would you please leave?
To: You
From: Tired
I’m Tired of This Game
I’m tired of this game.
It’s such a shame,
That you won’t go.
Just go and leave.
Why won’t you just go and leave?
It can’t be you for me.
I’m already theirs.
You never were.
Go, please.
Just go.
To: You’re Not Theirs
From: I’m not Theirs
We Don’t Belong To Them
We don’t belong to them.
We never did.
We never will.
But I could belong to you.
I want to belong to you.
I want you to belong to me.
Don’t make it goodbye.
Don’t let this be goodbye.
I hate the word goodbye.
To:You
From: Forever the Ice Queen
Go
Go.
Just go the hell away.
You are so stubborn,
And so foolish.
Go away.
To: You
From: Never
I Don’t Go Away
I don’t go away.
It doesn’t work that way.
It never has.
I’ve always been there.
You know I’ve always been there.
I’ll never go away.
Just come with me.
It’s so easy,
To just say yes,
And come with me.
To: Never Leaves
From: Ms. P
It’s Never Easy
It’s never easy.
Nothing is easy.
I can’t just drop everything.
I can’t just leave.
They’d find us.
They’d kill us.
Or worse,
They’d kill you,
And I’d be left alone.
I’m always alone.
To: Lonely Parker
From: Lonely Jarod
You Were Never Alone
You were never alone.
You’ll never walk alone.
‘When you walk through a storm…
Keep your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark.’
I’ve always been with you.
Didn’t you know?
Couldn’t you tell?
To: You Cannot Be
From: I Cannot Be
Yes…I Could
Yes…I could.
But I can’t come with you.
Leave me.
Go now.
Leave me.
…go.
…now.
To: My Parker
From: Your Jarod
Why Do You…
Why do you make it end this way?
Why does it end this way?
Why does it always end this way?
Why does it almost make sense that it ends this way?
‘It make sense that it should happen this way.
That the sky should break,
And the earth should shake.
As if to say,
Sure it all matters,
But in such an unimportant way.
As if to say,
Fly away,
Sweet Bird of Prey.
Fly fly away.
Nothing can stand in your way.
Sweet bird,
If you knew the words,
I know that you’d say,
Fly.
Fly away.
It makes sense that it should hurt in this way.
That my heart should break,
And my hands should shake.
As if to say,
Sure it don’t matter,
Except in the most important ways.
As if to say,
Fly away,
Sweet Bird of Prey.
Fly fly away.
I won’t stand in your way.
Sweet bird,
If you knew the words,
I know that you’d say,
Fly.
Fly away.
It makes sense that it should feel this way.
That you slowly fade,
And yet still remain.
As if to say,
Everything matters in such and invisible way.
As if to say,
It’s okay.
Fly away.’
Parker, please fly away.
I’ll stay,
You fly away.
Author’s Note: The song You’ll Never Walk Alone is from the musical Carousel. I haven’t seen the movie in a while and I don’t remember the lyrics, so I hope they’re right. The song Fly Away belongs to Poe. It’s an amazing song. It just made me think of Parker and Jarod. Does this end? Need feedback and ideas! Please review! Or it ends with goodbye.
