Jareth turned slowly at the sound of a soft voice. It was quiet, almost like the soft beating of a butterfly wing in the air. He knew who it was, he always knew.
Her scent followed her where ever she went, wafting around all that happened to be near. He could smell her now; peaches and vanillia. So sweet and yet warm.
Sarah paused watching him as he turned, oh he was handsome, but also just as arrogant.
"And why Sarah would you think that?" His voice was tired, no longer haughty or smug. She had worn him down, broken him and now she knew she would have to pick up the pieces. But would she be able to mend them?
"B-because I love you. Damnit Jareth! Do you really believe it is all about you?! I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry that you feel you can't trust me anymore. But Lord! I am NOT sorry that I did what I did! I wouldn't be here now if I hadn't and you know it!
"So just get your head out of your ass and look at me!" Jareth could feel his heart drop at her words. Of course he knew she wouldn't be there if IT hadn't happened, but damnit his pride was hurt.
"I am looking, though I don't know what you are wanting me to see. You look like you always do." Sarah sighed, there was just no getting through to this man!
"No, I mean LOOK at me, really look at what is in front of you. Are you willing to let it all go just because you got your feelings hurt?
"Everyone gets them hurt every now and then, but you have to get over it and move on." He could see the start of tears in her eyes, but he wouldn't let her win, not this time.
"No, Sarah, not now. I don't want to hurt you, but I can't do this anymore. I love you, but it is over.
"You know your way back. You best be leaving." With that Jareth turned once again and left this time for good. He loved, he had not lied. But he couldn't do this anymore, he was too broken.
At that moment Sarah knew she could never fix what she had done, she could never stick those pieces back together, not even with all the glue in the world.
Author's Note: Ok, well that is it, I really have no idea about what Sarah did or anything. This was just an exercise to help me with a bit of writer's block, it was written in about thirty or so minutes. I just thought that instead of it just hiding on my computer I would share it with you. So make of it what you will. :)
Disclaimer: Hm, think not, I own nothing.....but three Jareth dolls, a Hoggle doll, book, five copies of the dvd, posters......I think you get the idea.
