Chapter 2: The Wedding
Miss Parker's Journal
September 2 10:00pm
It has been a day since I left the Centre; it feels strange not to go back there in the morning. I have not missed it. I do miss Jarod though. My heart aches when I think that I shot a child hood friend that was going to runaway with me. I gave him his first kiss. Then I shot him! Am I as bad as all that, that on instinct, without thinking I resorted to shoot? I still have not opened that package that probably was another card of one of Jarod's sick games. The doorbell just rang. I am going to see who on earth it could be.
Goodnight,
MP

"Lyle. What on earth are you doing here?" asked Miss Parker as she opened the door.
"I just wanted to say goodbye to my loving sister and to ask if she could help me with" Lyle paused as if he did not want to say what was next "my inner sense. I heard her voice. I did not understand what she said though. I'm so sorry for teasing you about this. Will you help me?"
"I'm sorry Lyle but I don't know how I can help you. You might want to ask someone who can help." Miss Parker said as she showed Lyle out of the door.
"Wait. Do you need help moving?" Lyle asked desperate to get help from her.
"I don't know how you can help since you only have one thumb." said Miss Parker as Lyle left defeated.

Jarod and Zoey started planning for their wedding, inviting people, and buying the tuxedos, Zoey's dress, and the dresses for bridesmaids. All bought by the Centre. The bridesmaids were going to be Zoey's sister, Anna, and Jarod's sister Emily and also Nina Zoey's friend and the groomsmen were Jason (Zoey's cousin) and Ethan, Jarod's half-brother and LJ, little Jarod, Jarod's clone.
Jarod really wanted to send an invitation to Sydney, but he knew that that would be suicide. They both invited their family to their house before the wedding to plan things. Finally every thing was planned and the wedding was in two days. Their family left and they were home alone.
"Jarod, will you play Clair Du Lune for me? I absolutely love that song." asked Zoey one night.
"Sure." Jarod said as he started to play. He could not believe that they were getting married in two days. He loved his life away from the Centre; he just wished that he had done it sooner.

Miss Parker's house
"Hello" said Ethan tentatively on the other end of the phone.
"Hi, this is Miss Parker. I am leaving the Centre and Blue Cove, so I was wondering if you wanted to get together for lunch." said Miss Parker as she wrapped her picture of herself and her mother protectively.
"I'm sorry Miss Parker, but I have plans for today." Said Ethan trying not to give away what they were.
"What are your plans?' asked Miss Parker making sure that he was not just avoiding her.
Ethan thought for a second, and then he said "I have a date today. I have to go bye." Ethan then hung up.
This made Miss Parker very suspicious. She wondered what was going on. She then decided that she would call Ethan's girlfriend.

"Hello this is Ellie. How may I help you?" said Ellie Ethan's girlfriend
"This is Andrea, Ethan's half-sister, and I as wondering if Ethan had anything going on today." Miss Parker said as she picked up a vase and started wrapping it.
"Ya, he is a groomsman in Zoey and Jarod's wedding." said Ellie on the other end.
"What? No way, Jarod is dead. I shot him myself." said Miss Parker putting the vase down so hard that she broke it. "Ouch! I have to go thanks for your information."

The Wedding Day
One hour before
The Bride's Room
"Zoey, you look beautiful." said Margaret smiling after they had just tied the bow in the back of the elegant, white, wedding dress.
"Thank you Margaret. I am so nervous. What if I say the vows wrong or if my shoe breaks on my way up the aisle?" said Zoey, as she nervously fixed her hair. "This piece is not staying straight."
"Let me help you" said Emily as she got up to help her. "your shoes are new so they should not break, and you should trust yourself, and even if you did say them wrong, every one will laugh and forget it in a week. I'm only kidding." Emily added after she saw Zoey's terrified face.
"Emily, don't torture the poor girl. She might do the same to you at your wedding." said Margaret with the same glint in her eyes as Jarod always had.
Zoey realized that even though they have been apart for a very long time they were more like each other than even they knew.

The Wedding Day
One hour before
The Groom's room
Jarod sat there helpless, nervous. He wanted every thing to be perfect for Zoey. What if he got up there and didn't have the ring? He had never been this nervous before in all his life. His pathetic life, he stayed in a place that used him to hurt others, for twenty years, he then spent six years keeping them close, one step behind. He had almost been caught several times. He wondered if he should try and take down the Centre. But why would he want to risk his freedom to take them down? If he did, how would he go about it? He should not think about this now. He is getting married. He is moving on in his life. He would never go back to the Centre, or so he thought.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Major Charles after some time of silence.
Jarod then told his father what he was thinking, and his father offered some advice. Jarod thought how something, so bad turn so good could. He had no idea.

One hour later
Jarod was standing at the alter awaiting his bride. 'Wow' he thought "She looks amazing." She was nearly here.
Zoey stopped and looked at her husband to be. "He looks so handsome." The ceremony had started. They said there vows and left the wedding. They went on to the very small reception. The then left on there honeymoon to the Bahamas.

Miss Parker's house
5:00 AM
Miss Parker awoke with a start. She recalled her dream; it was the exact moment before she had shot Jarod. She heard her mother's voice saying "He is alive, He is alive." She thought about Lyle, she wondered if he had developed it yet. Jarod! I need to call him. Maybe if I press redial. Yes! Come on Jarod answer the phone.
****
Jarod and Zoey's hotel room
Jarod looked over and saw that his phone was vibrating; he went to pick it up and went into the bathroom so not to disturb Zoey.
"What." Jarod said into the phone.
"Jarod, my inner sense said that you were alive. Lyle is starting to get his as well. If he develops it he will know you are alive. I won't come to get you, but he will you know that Jarod. I miss your voice. Please say something. Jarod, you still need to be careful."
"What are you talking about? There is no Jarod here, this is Steve Harmon. I do not know why you call so early but I wish you not call again." Jarod said with a heavy accent.
"But if this is his number, how…?" Miss Parker said before the dial tone cut her off, she swore under her breath.
****
"Who was that?" Zoey asked Jarod as he got back into bed.
"Miss Parker. She knows. She said she found out by her inner sense and that Lyle has gotten his so he may know to. Why? Why me! I just wish that they would leave me alone. I need to go ask Miss Parker for help to take down the Centre once and forever!" Jarod said as he stood up "Zoey, I will have to go to Delaware for a little would you mind if you go back alone, and we will catch up later. If anyone asks for me, not family, tell them that I am dead. Please. I love you."
"I love you to, Jarod. It is fine. I want you to be careful. Promise me that you will be." said Zoey as she took Jarod's hand.
"I will." said Jarod as he put on his jacket.
