18 Apocalypse Avenue--Thursday, All Day

Jun 07, 2007 15:18

Jarod was out in front of the house, looking at it from the sidewalk, hands in his pockets as he considered. It, and Fandom, had been very good to him. But now it was time to move on ( Read more... )

farewell

Lana stopped by after her first period workshop, wanting to have a chance to say goodbye in person.

Re: Morning jarodpretends June 7 2007, 21:13:04 UTC

"Lana," Jarod was pleased to see her, "I'm glad you got my message."

Re: Morning lovelylana June 7 2007, 21:34:26 UTC

She smiled back at him a little sadly. "I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye. I just... didn't expect you'd be leaving."

Re: Morning jarodpretends June 7 2007, 21:43:20 UTC

"It's time," he said gently. "Past, actually. There's lots more to do and see, outside of Fandom."

Re: Morning lovelylana June 7 2007, 21:55:19 UTC

She nodded, ducking her head a little. "I know. I'm just being selfish. You've always been so good to me that I hate to see you go."

Re: Morning jarodpretends June 7 2007, 21:57:40 UTC

"I'd give you my phone number and e-mail, but it's not safe for you to have them. And...if anyone ever shows up looking for me, you never heard my name." He met her eyes seriously. "Promise?"

Re: Morning lovelylana June 7 2007, 22:06:33 UTC

"I promise," she said firmly. "I would never tell anyone anything."

She looked up at him a little wistfully. "Maybe you could drop me a postcard or something on occasion? Just so that I know you're okay?"

Re: Morning jarodpretends June 8 2007, 00:06:31 UTC

"Absolutely," he hugged her. "And you'll take care of yourself? No more trouble?"

Re: Morning lovelylana June 8 2007, 00:10:37 UTC

She hugged him back. "I'll try, but trouble seems to find me despite myself. And who will politely try to take care of me and tuck me into bed when I show up completely not myself? Or rescue me from trolls?"

Re: Morning jarodpretends June 8 2007, 00:24:58 UTC

"I have faith that you can rescue yourself, Lana, the same way you kept me from going insane while I was in captivity," he told her, "but if you ever need me, I may be around. World's a big place, you know?"

Re: Morning lovelylana June 8 2007, 00:29:13 UTC

"It is, isn't it?" she said thoughtfully. "A very big place and with more surprises and unknowns than we could ever predict."

Re: Morning jarodpretends June 8 2007, 00:32:24 UTC

"You'll be fine," he told her, "And yes, but the surprises and unknowns are what make it interesting."

Re: Morning lovelylana June 8 2007, 00:36:16 UTC

She smiled at him. "I think I will be. And I think you will be as well. I wish you all the best out there."

Re: Morning jarodpretends June 8 2007, 00:38:10 UTC

"And you all the best here, or wherever you end up going afterwards," he hugged her again, then leaned down to whisper, "Sometimes I wish I hadn't been such a gentleman." Then he moved to kiss her on the temple.

Re: Morning lovelylana June 8 2007, 00:43:41 UTC

Her eyes widened at his words and she let him kiss her temple, thinking how she wanted to respond. "Thank you," she said, smiling up at him softly. "Sometimes I wish you hadn't been either."

She leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. "But life is what it is and I am grateful for my time with you and our friendship."
