Papercut

Disclaimer: I do not own Labyrinth...or it's characters -sigh-
Sarah sits infront of her mirror. She brushes her long brown hair that reaches to her waist. Her green eyes full of longing and wonder about her time spent in Labyrinth, about her friends and….Him. She relives her every moment with Jareth inside her head. She blushes when suddenly a look of horror crosses her face. "Oh no, what have I done…hopefully I didn't hurt him with my words," Sarah says as she looks at herself in the mirror.
Little does she know that Jareth is beyond the mirror staring lovingly at the reflection of his love. Jareth smiles as he watches her blush. Even though there is smile on his face once can see the agony in his eyes. Jareth sighs as he stops his hand forwarding towards Sarah's reflection.
"I'm okay precious," Jareth says softly to Sarah's reflection. Jareth stared at her reflection with a longing and great sorrow unconsciously he raises his hands to her cheek.
He begins again sighing as he looks at Sarah's sea green eyes slowly drowning in them, "I'm okay, really stop asking me with those green eyes, precious. I might just fall apart….again."
He walks away from her reflection muttering, "I have moved on, everything is going well. He turns towards the mirror leaning close to it, "At least that's what I tell myself."
"Please I'm okay, I'll survive…I only think of you half the time," Jareth says as he looks at Sarah who it seem looking at him with disheartening eyes.
Jareth gazes into Sarah's eyes again being pulled towards her, "really you barely even cross my mind, I'll be just fine…oh no it doesn't hurt it was only a paper cut….at my heart"
"I have done so much for you precious…I stopped time, I moved the stars, I always stepped up to your expectations. The more I gave you, the less I got," Jareth punches the wall in frustration.
He watches as the blood flows from his knuckles to the floor, "Sometimes I just wish we never met, because I was fine until you wished your brother away. But don't worry love, I may have fallen hard for you I will get over you by tomorrow or the next day or the next day or the next day…"
Still facing away from the mirror, "I'm okay, I'll be fine…I only think about you half of the time . Although what you gave my heart was only a papercut just a mere papercut…though it doesn't hurt that much but what does it matter to you don't care how much my heart burns, how it bleeds oh how I wish", Jareth throws his arms in the air, "I was that damn tin man from Wizard of Oz, so I wouldn't have a heart to bleed"
Annoyed at himself, as he runs his non injured hand through his unruly fair hair, "at least those are the things I keep telling myself to heal my broken heart"
He turns towards Sarah's reflection. He is astonished to see her crying. He steps towards the reflection, "why precious love, why the tears..."
He is flabbergasted when he hears Sarah tenderly speaks, "I miss you…Jareth"
Little does he know, He gave Sarah magical powers long time ago, he never thought Sarah would be able to hear all of this pain. He stood still staring at the girl in the mirror waiting for her to continue...he whispers, "My precious.."
