Sarah woke the next morning and found Jareth sat in the chair next to her. "Morning sleepyhead. You look really cute when you sleep."
She pulled the cover over her head to hide the blush she could feel creeping on her cheeks. "What are you doing in here Jareth?" She said sleepily.
"Amy had to go out, she told me to stay with you."
"Im not a child you know, I can look after myself for a while."
Jareth laughed and pulled the covers slightly so he could see Sarah's face. "I know that, but you wanted to go aboveground didn't you? And you cant do that on your own."
Sarah pulled the covers back over her, blocking out the light that shone through to her. "Good point. But I have another good point. I need to get dressed if we're going aboveground, and I cant get dressed while your sat there."
"I don't see the problem."
Sarah lifted the covers off her head and saw the cheeky smirk on his face. She laughed at this, and wrapped the covers around herself as she got off the bed. She shuffled across the room to her dressing table, grabbed her clothes and shuffled into her bathroom.
"That's no fun." She heard Jareth laugh as she closed the door.
She emerged a few minutes later to do her hair, while trying to ignore the cheeky smirk that was still on his face. She couldn't help but laugh as he pulled a stupid face at her in the mirror. "Why do women take so long to get ready?" He laughed, and then ducked as Sarah threw her brush at him.
"Because we like to look nice." Was her giggled reply.
"You look nice anyway Sarah."
Sarah searched his voice for sarcasm but found none. "Don't do that Jareth." She laughed.
"Do what?"
"Be nice to me, makes me feel bad for throwing stuff at you!"
Jareth just smiled and held out his hand to her. "So shall we go then?"
Sarah took his hand and smiled back at him. "Yeah lets go." She felt the ground shift below her feet and closed her eyes as everything around her started to spin. It only took a few seconds before she was stood in the front room back at the flat. Everything was as she left it, even the note she had left for Carl was still there. She turned away from it quickly to stop herself from crying.
"So what do you need?" Jareth said as he looked around. It was a nice flat, but he didn't think it was really Sarah's taste. If it had really been Sarah's, there would be books everywhere, pictures stuck up on the walls, bold bright colours everywhere. Instead it was just plain, no books, no pictures, no colour. It was too modern and shiny to be Sarah's.
"Clothes would be a good start. And I have some books upstairs I want to take with me, Ive been dying of boredom without them!"
Jareth laughed. He knew she would have them somewhere! Even if they weren't in sight, her books would always be with her.
Sarah ran up the stairs and Jareth followed, noticing as he went that there still were no pictures anywhere. They went past many different rooms until they came to the one Sarah wanted. Her dressing room. This was more like Sarah, and Jareth could see many pictures of her family and friends. He noticed a picture of a young boy there, and looked closer. The ruffled blonde hair and mischievous smile looked familiar.
"He's grown up a lot since you saw him." Sarah commented, looking over his shoulder at the picture of Toby.
"That's Toby?!"
Sarah laughed. "Yes that's Toby, and yes he's still a little nightmare."
"I still think he would have made a good Goblin you know."
"He's already a goblin."
She stopped talking and took the picture off the wall, along with one of her Dad and Stepmother. She put them in a bag and began packing clothes into the bag. Jareth just stood back and watched her as a single tear rolled slowly down her cheek.
"You miss them don't you Sarah?"
"Of course I do, it would be crazy if I didn't." She didn't look up at him as she spoke, just continued putting stuff into the bag.
"I could take you to see them."
She stopped what she was doing and looked up. "Really? Can you do that?"
"I can do whatever I want, and if you want to see them I will take you, your wish is my command Sarah."
Sarah wrapped her arms around Jareth and stayed there. "Thank you." She said tearily.
Jareth put his arms around her waist and held her close as she cried into his shoulder. "Sarah what's wrong? You've not been yourself at all and its starting to worry me."
"Im not myself that's why." She let go of him and turned around, looking at the little room. "Everything that once was me is here in this room. This is Sarah Williams. Outside these walls I was not me, for so long."
"But why? Why did you feel you had to change?"
"A new life. A chance to start over. When I realised I didn't want a new life, it was too late to go back."
He took her hand gently, expecting her to shake it off but she didn't. "Its never too late Sarah."

I don't like this chapter as much as the others, but I thought I needed to add a bit of background, like why she left. The next chapter has a bit of the same but it should be better. R&R! Thanks! xx
