A/N:I wrotea story called "To Make You Feel My Love" based off of a Billy Joel song,and thought it would just be a one-shot deal. Well people reviewed it and said that they liked it and wanted to read more. So that got me to thinking and I decided to write this story. Every chapter in this story is based off of a Billy Joel song. The original story one-shot storyis still up and shall be worked into this story as well. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Labyrinth or any Billy Joel songs.

Sarah was surrounded by smoke and drunken banter. This was what people would technically call her "day job" although she worked at night. She was a bartender in one of the dirtiest bars in New York. She moved to the city to become an actress but that dream was swiftly fading away.

Sarah came there on her 21st birthday with wild dreams of success and romance, two things that had eluded her almost all of her life. She had very few boyfriends and her dreams were always filled with a face from her past, one she thought she would never see again.

"He offered me the world once, and I turned him down. Still I don't know if he was being honest or if it was some cruel joke. I wish I knew. I wish I could turn back time and find out," Sarah thought as she poured a disgusting old man another shot of Jack.

Sarah pondered a little longer and then said out loud with a distant voice, "He was the one."

"He was not the one," Gabi said, "There are other fish in the sea."

Gabi was the bar owner. She was kind hearted at times but wouldn't think twice about kicking you in the gonads. Gabi gave Sarah a job when no one else would. She saved Sarah from being kicked out on the streets. Even with Sarah's record. She had been fired from 5 jobs in one month because she was constantly late. In fact at that moment Gabi was giving serious consideration to getting rid of Sarah herself. She liked Sarah, and felt sorry for her but Sarah's habitual lateness was not good for business.

Before, Gabi was referring to Than, an old boyfriend of Sarah's. He was not necessarily "good news." When they first met though, he gave her the comfort she needed. Before they moved in together he was always nice and kind to her. After that he just used her. Constantly taking her money; calling her fat; never helping with the rent; staying out to all hours of the night and coming home smelling of women's perfume. Sarah was so deep in that she thought she loved him. She thought that was what love was all about, dealing with people's flaws. It took him almost beating her to death for her to see she was wrong. For all Sarah knew he had skipped town after that.

Looking back, she realized she didn't love Than. For even when she was with him, she was thinking of someone else. She was always seeing another person's face in the crowd. Whose? Well she would never say that out loud. But at that moment she knew he was the one. He was the one for her. And she turned him away. "But I was right to turn him away," she thought, "He is evil! Sarah, don't ever trust yourself with a man. Any one you have ever chosen to care for always broke you in some way. Besides that is over and done with. You can't change the past."

Her thoughts then lead to questioning. If she could be with him now, would he really want her? She wasn't the strong willed girl she once was. She wasn't the girl he met. She was broken and could find no way to fix herself. It seemed as if no one could save her from what she had become.

Sarah snapped out of her thoughts when she felt something. She looked down. It was the old man whose drink she had just poured, he was touching her boob! At that she felt a tinge of the old Sarah return.

"How dare you!" She screamed as she smacked him across the face. Then the old Sarah subsided and the new one began to take face. Realizing what she had just done…she was horrified. She hit one of Gabi's regular patrons.

"SARAH!" Gabi yelled. Sarah had heard that kind of tone before and knew what it meant. It meant that she needed to collect her things from behind the bar, take whatever money she was owed, and look for a new job.
