Hey! I needed a break from my other story and this popped into my head as I listened to Linkin Park's song- In the End- hence the title. It's not very good- but do I care- Hell no.

In the End~*~

Sarah Williams looked down upon the entire city. Her house was stationed on a hill that looked over LA. But it didn't matter- it didn't matter that she was a famous actress. The one thing she really wanted had slipped through her fingers. Love. Because 13 years ago she was a naïve, young brat of a teenager she didn't notice it. No- she had- but she was too scared to accept it.

Dad, Karen, and Toby,

It starts with one thing I don't know why. It doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time. All I know, time is a valuable thing. Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. Watch it count down to the end of the day. The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal. Didn't look out below, watch the time go right out the window. Trying to hold on but didn't even know. Wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart.

Sarah

She looked again through blurred eyes. LA was beautiful at sunset. In fact, if I could see the stars better it would be perfect. She was scared but in a detached sort of way. Mostly she was just calm and numb.

Dear Jareth,

One thing, I don't know why. It doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how I tried so hard. In spite of the way, you were mocking me. Acting like I was part of your property. Remembering all the times you fought with me, I'm surprised it got so far. Things aren't the way they were before. You wouldn't even recognize me anymore. Not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me in the end. You kept everything inside, and even though I tried, it all fell apart. I've put my trust in you. Pushed as far as I can go. For all this, there's only one thing you should know.

I love you.

Sarah

Sarah smiled wistfully- this was it. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes picturing his mismatched ones in her mind. Oh- she loved him. And this was the only way she could have closure.

"Jareth." She murmured. She finally leaned forward so she fell, in belly flop style toward the earth that lay far below. She swore she heard a voice call her name- but she ignored it. A verse played in her head as she fell:

I tried so hard,

And got so far.

But in the end,

It doesn't even matter.

I had to fall,

To lose it all.

But in the end,

It doesn't even matter.

And Sarah opened her eyes- and she flew on her brand new wings.

Not even noticing her mangled body below her or Jareth's crushed expression as he looked from the top of the house, exactly where she last stood as he gazed upon her body. Because in the end- it doesn't even matter.

*blows her nose* WAAAAAA its so *sniff* sad. And yes that's the end. And please REVIEW!!! I am not ashamed to beg.
