Memories
Note- This is a continuation of Chapter Nine: Understanding
...In our mutual shame, we idolize...
As the buttons began to become unclasped, their need for each other increased. As her shirt fell to the ground, the moonlight revealed her pale skin. Jareth kissed her neck as his hands traveled to her back, unhooking her bra.
...To blind them from the truth that finds a way from who we are...
Sarah's hands were at Jareth's neck slowly caressing it. She felt his hands go to her back and she gave a small moan. She heard Jareth give a soft chuckle. He went to her ear and whispered:
"Do you want me to stop?"
Sarah shook her head "no" and whispered no. He gave another small chuckle and began an assault on her lips. Sarah's hands now began to move to the bottom of Jareth's shirt. Her hands seemed to have a mind of their own as she brought the shirt to his chest. Jareth broke away from her lips as he sat up, taking off his shirt, revealing a well muscled upper body. Sarah gave a weak smile as Jareth bent down again to Sarah's lips. Ecstacy coursed through their veins as their tongues met.
...Please don't be afraid...
Sarah's body was now fully nude, as was Jareth's. She could feel his hard muscle between her legs, begging to be inside of her. Sarah wanted to feel him inside of her, wanting to have him move inside of her.
...When the darkness fades away, the dawn will break the silence screaming in our hearts...
Jareth was nearly to the point of breaking. But he couldn't let Sarah know. After all, what would Sarah think of him then? He felt Sarah roll over so that she was now on top of him. sarah felt his muscle even better now from this position, and could no longer bear it.
...My love for you still burns...
Jareth saw a look in Sarah's eyes he had never seen in her before. Was it love or lust? Whatever it was, the look made Jareth want her even more.
...This I do for you, before I try to fight the truth my final time...
Jareth positioned himslef so he could easily enter her. With one fluid motion, he did.
...We're supposed to try and be real...
Sarah felt no pain, only pleasure as he began to move inside her.
...And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real...
After an hour, they were in each other's arms. This would be a night they would never forget as long as they lived.
...Can't wash it all away, can't wish it all away...
It was now almost one o'clock, and Sarah was still awake, as was Jareth. They had remained in silence for almost two hours, just holding each other.
"I'm sorry for making you come up here," Sarah said, sitting up and brushing her hair behind her back with her hands. Jareth propped himself up forward and looked at her.
"Why are you sorry?" he asked.
...Can't cry it all away, can't scratch it all away...
"I wanted to be alone for a while."
"Why? So you could just find another way to hurt yourself?" Jareth spat out. Sarah sighed and turned away.
...Lying beside you, listening to you breathe...
"It's just that I've been in a lot of pain lately. And what you did seemed to have just triggered what I did."
"I'm sorry," he said, looking down.
...The life that flows inside of you, burns inside of me...
Sarah laid back down and Jareth followed suit. Sarah turned on her side facing Jareth.
"That wasn't the first time I've done that," Sarah said looking at him. Jareth immediately turned on his side to face Sarah.
"When I was twelve, I started to date Chad. He hit me after our second date and when I got home, I lost it. Dad told me I needed to break up with him, but I told him I was a big girl and that I can handle myself," Sarah said, looking down at her arm. Her scars were now fading for some reason. It was probaly the magic she felt with Jareth that helped them heal.
...Hold and speak to me of love without a sound...
Jareth took Sarah softly on her scarred arm and looked at it.
"I didn't know. One thing I do know in my heart is that I most likely triggered your problem again," Jareth said, his voice starting to break. As soon as he heard it, he sniffled and composed himself. Sarah chuckled softly and put her hand to his face.
...Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you...
"Do you think you can manage being here by yourself?" Jareth asked Sarah, hoping she would say no. Sarah sighed deeply and shook her head.
...Cast me not away, say you'll be with me...
"I can't stand to stay here another night. I want to be with you," Sarah said sheepishly.
...For I know I can not bear it all alone...
Jareth nearly jumped up and down for joy. He restrained himself and smiled. He nodded.
...You're not alone, are you?...
...Never... Never...
"Get dressed if you really mean that," Jareth said as his mismatched eyes glittered in the pale moonlight. Sarah smiled and raced to her closet, finding some clothes and packing some with her.
...Can't fight it all away,can't hope it all away...
As Jareth began to get dressed, he noticed something on Sarah's nightstand. It was a hairclip. One with sapphires and diamonds on it.
...Can't scream it all away, It just won't fade away, No, No...
As he reached down to pick it up, it disappeared into thin air. He sat down on the bed and just stared at the table. He felt a single tear drip down his cheek.
...Can't wash it all away, can't wish it all away...
Sarah saw that Jareth was staring. She heard some sniffles and went to see what was the problem. She saw that Jareth was crying silently.
...Can't cry it all away, can't scratch it all away...
Jareth looked through his misty eyes and saw Sarah kneeling down in front of him, wiping away his tears.
...Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away...
"Are you alright?" Sarah asked softly. Jareth nodded and stood up. Sarah stood up and wrapped Jareth in her arms. Jareth did the same and in a blink of the eye, they were in the Underground.
...But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten...
...Because I'm tired of it too...
...Because I'm tired of it too...
...Because I'm tired of it too...
...Because I'm tired of it too...
...Because I'm tired of it too...
