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: This chapter immediately follows the first one so keep track of the To and Froms from the last chapter and how they flow into this one.

To: Little Lost Alice
From: Outside the Rabbit Hole
Are You Coming?
Are you coming?
Are you leaving the madness,
To come seek solace with me?
Please,
Tell me,
What do you mean?
How will you end it?
Will you come to me now?
Will you stay with me now?
How will you end it?
To: The Mad Hatter

I’ll End It…
I’ll end it the only way I know how.
The only way that ever works.
The way it all ends.
The way everything ends.
To: Parker
From: How? How Does It End?
I Don’t Understand
I don’t understand.
What do you mean?
How does it end?
You can’t mean…
Do you mean…
To: Always the Genius
From: Your Parker
You Know How It Ends
You know how it ends.
You always have.
You know the way it is.
You know how everything ends.
How everyone at the Centre leaves.
To: My Parker
From: No!
You Can’t End It That Way
You can’t end it that way.
It can’t end that way.
I won’t let you.
I’ll be there tomorrow.
I’ll be there today.
I’ll be there right now.
I’m coming to you,
Because it can’t end this way.
To: Chasing After Butterflies
From: Let It Be
Then How Come This Is How It Ends?
Then how come this is how it ends?
How come this is how it always ends?

Leave me alone.
Let me be.
Stop chasing butterflies,
That you can’t catch.
Just go away,
And Let it be.
To: The Most Beautiful Butterfly
From: I’m On My Way
I’m Almost There
I’m almost there.
I’m almost here.
Because I choose how this ends,
And it doesn’t end this way.
It cannot end this way.
To: You
From: Goodbye Sweet Bird
It’s Already Ended
It’s already ended.
You are too late
This is how it is.
This is how it ends.
This is our fate.
This is our curse.
This is our loneliness
To: Angel
From: Sweet Bird
I Couldn’t Save You
I couldn’t save you,
Could I?
You were the one,
Weren’t you?
The one I was doomed to let down.
The one I had to let go.
Where are you know, Angel?
Where have you gone?
Birds can’t fly without wings.
Jarod’s can’t live without their Angels.
Author’s Note: I had to put a chapter break here, even if the next chapter is posted right after this one, just to cause some suspense. So, why are you still reading this? Read the next chapter.
