Note: I fiddled w/ the lyrics to "Adam's Song" by Blink 182. No matter how much I love Blink 182, I had to or the song wouldn't fit.

I never thought I'd be alone

I laughed the loudest who'd have known?

Jareth sat alone in his throne room and stared out the window at the starry sky. Amazingly enough, there are stars in the Underground. But anyway, he was just staring out the window thinking about his life. How he'd been alone for so many years, and how he'd had to fit that perfect image that was set for him as a child.

It still amazed him how he could be so lonely, yet still be the life of a party. He laughed harder than everyone else to make up for the laughter he doesn't get out alone. To make up for all the laughs he's lost by losing Sarah. He thought about all the things he'd lost when he lost her.

I took my time, I hurried up

The choice was mine I didn't think enough

Jareth began thinking about how this had happened.

It had been a beautiful night in the Underground, like this one, and he'd done the unthinkable. He and Sarah had been together for a few years, and they had gotten into a fight. The fight that ruined everything.

"Jareth, just listen to me! My GOD!! You are so stubborn!!"

Jareth had lost his temper with Sarah, and momentarily considered walking out of the room. But his darker side took over, and he struck her. Sarah stumbled back a few spaces, and then touched her face. Strangely calm, she turned around and walked out of the room, down the hall, and into her old room, from when she'd first came back to the Underground. She closed the door quietly, and Jareth didn't hear from her the rest of the night.

The next morning, he'd gone to her room, and knocked. Sarah hadn't made a sound, so he decided to just open the door. Sarah was standing out on the balcony connected to the room, just staring out across the Labyrinth and singing quietly to herself. Jareth didn't recognize the song that she was singing, but he could tell that he'd walked in right when Sarah wanted him to. Because the words she sang rang with emotion equal to their meaning.

"I'm too depressed to go on

You'll be sorry when I'm gone"(Author note: yes, that was the next line of the song.)

"Sarah?"

"Go away Jareth. I'm not in the mood right now."

"Sarah, please."

"16 just held such better days

Days when I still felt alive"

"Sarah, please stop singing. I know you're mad at me, but you don't have to brodcast it. You can't go back in time! And you're perfectly healthy!!"

"Not on the inside, Jareth. I'm dead inside now."

"Sarah, give me another chance, please!!"
