Warning: this chap may cause severe vomiting and diabetic comas from its
sickly sweetness.
A/N: I have never seen the first episode of pretender and I was pretty
young when the shows aired on regular TV. So for the longest time I
thought Jarod ran away when he was a teenager, but I know better now. I
have seen very few episodes since it was cancelled, so please excuse any
inaccuracies.
Lastly: Brandy, you guessed correctly! I don't know.........do you think the
song fits? Does anybody think the song fits or am I crazy? Maybe I should
ask the invisible purple elephant with pink polka dots that lives in my old
science teacher's room............J/k! And now on with the show!
After a long and relaxing bath, Parker had completely forgotten about the
letter. As she descended the staircase, however, she spotted it on the
table. With a groan, she remembered her "duty" to open the damn thing.
She practically threw herself down onto the couch and picked up the
envelope. Sighing, she ripped the flap open. She stared at it wishing she
were somewhere else, some*one* else. She half wished she were Jarod
himself: no longer tied to the centre, able to go anywhere and everywhere,
playing games with his enemies' minds.
'You should have gone with him,' a rebellious part of her mind said before
she could stop it. 'You two could have escaped together and been lovers
like you were boyfriend/girlfriend when you were teens. (A/N: Is that
true? I know she gave him his first kiss.......I think.)
Growling softly at her traitorous mind, the exhausted woman yanked the
letter out of its envelope. The first page was surprisingly handwritten,
the second typed. She read:
* Dear Parker
Long time no see, eh? Well, let's not beat around the bush. I was
talking to a new friend of mine the other day. She was of the interesting
opinion that every situation in the world could be related to a song. This
idea inspired me and I began looking immediately for a song that related to
us. It took a while. After all, we are in unusual circumstances, aren't
we? I searched all types of songs. Country, rock and roll, rap, jazz, pop,
oldies, modern, classical, even folk songs. Other than a brief snippet
from a song by one Miss Avril Lavigne, I could not find anything! The
snippet went:
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
But that's beside the point. That related more to me than us, and
the rest of the song REALLY didn't fit. Finally after much searching, I
found it. Hope you enjoy it. It's called Someday and it's by a group
called Nickelback. *
Parker turned to the next page. Sure enough it was entitled: Someday, by
Nickelback. She quickly read the song, secretly intrigued that Jarod had
found a song he though could relate to them.
*How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able?
To see the signs that we missed
try to turn the tables.
I wish you would unclench your fists,
And unpack your suitcase
lately there's been to much of this
But don't think it's too late
Chorus:
Nothings wrong
Just as long
As you know that someday I will
Someday
Some how
Gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one that knows that
Someday
Some how
Gonna make it alright, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
We can end up saying
Things that we always needed to say
So we can end up staying
Now the stories played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's re-write an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Chorus
You're the only one that knows that
How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able?
To see the signs that we missed
Try to turn the tables.
Now the stories played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's re-write an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothings wrong
Just as long
Chorus
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one that knows that
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one that knows that
I know you're wondering when.*
Parker set the papers aside, completely out of breath. She was at a
loss for words. It sounded so......
RING! Parker stared as the phone rang loudly.
^^More? Nada mas? Tell me!!! I need time to plan out the conversation
scene, then I promise I won't torture you anymore.
