Sarah jumped back when the door bell rang. Jareth smiled, Sarah just turned away and put a finger up to her lips. Jareth stood up from his seat and answered the door, he was startled when the guest pushed past him and ran over to Sarah.
"What the hell are you doing?" The guy asked.
"Jeremy...I...I...um..." Sarah looked at Jareth for help.
"I'm Jareth." He said, extending his hand for a handshake. Jeremy turned around and shook his hand.
"Jeremy." He turned back to Sarah and cocked his head to the side waiting for an answer.
"My friend got hit by a car, Jareth is helping me help him." Sarah spoke, trying to hide the kiss from him, but she had the feeling that Jeremy already knew about the kiss.
"uh-huh." Jeremy just nodded his head.
"and snuggled in-between bandage changes?"
"no-"
"Oh then, did his lips accidentally trip onto yours?"
"no-"
"Is this who you're dumping me for?"
"Jeremy, listen, I-"
"Some wierdo that looks freaky? Am I not better than him?"
"Jeremy!"
"Don't even try to explain, Sarah, just shut-up."
"That's not fair!"
"uh-oh, here it comes." Jareth said, massaging his temples and squinting his eyes. He didn't know what to do, maybe if Sarah wanted him to, he could take her back to the underground and she'd be happy and out of this guy's hair. He thought more, as he listened to the two quarrel. Soon, his mind was made up, he was going to take her wether they liked it or not, just for a little bit, to let this 'Jeremy' guy cool off.
"Sarah." Jareth asked.
"What?!?" Sarah barked at him.
"Just say the words." Jareth urged, Jeremy turned around and looked at Jareth.
"What words?" Jeremy asked as he looked back and fourth from Jareth to Sarah.
"No...no, I musn't."
"Just say them and he'll be gone."
"Say what Sarah?" Jeremy went over to Sarah and looked her straight in the eye. Sarah looked Jeremy back in the eyes. She hasn't told him her story yet, come to think of it, she hasn't told anyone about her adventure to the underground. Jeremy wouldn't understand and Sarah didn't want to hurt him, yet the deal sounded so perfect.
"Tell me Jeremy, have you ever heard of the Goblin King?" Sarah walked around Jeremy and over to Jareth.
"The Goblin King? Oh come on Sarah, that's so second grade."
"That's what I thought." Sarah said. She looked at Jareth and he looked back at Sarah.
"Go ahead." Jareth mouthed.
"What's going on?" Jeremy asked, looking nervously at Sarah.
"Oh, it's a long story. You better go, Jeremy before anyone gets hurt."
"No, I'm not leaving you hear with this wierdo."
"Jeremy, don't make me make Jareth hurt you." Sarah said, Jeremy grabbed Sarah by the shoulders and dragged her out of the house.
"Just come with me." Sarah turned to Jareth.
"I'll pick up Didymus later then?" Jareth just nodded his head and watched the two dissappear into her house.
'Damn.' he thought, 'I was so close of getting her.'
**************************************************************************************************
Sarah was wondering why her parents weren't back yet. They had Toby with them so Sarah had no good excuse to kick Jeremy out of her house.
"I'm tired, Jeremy."
"Oh, and I'm not?" Jeremy was still mad.
"Why are you acting like this?"
"Because I came over to take you out and here you are, across the street, swaping spit with your neighbor. How would you act if you saw me kissing another person?"
"Seriously?"
"Yes." Sarah thought about the answer she was going to give him, if he wants the truth, he'llget it.
"Honestly, I wouldn't care." Sarah said, throwing her hands up in the air. Jeremy's jaw dropped open and he crossed his arms. Sarah collapsed, crying on her couch. Jeremy went over to her and put an arm around her shoulders.
"Do you really love him?"
"I don't know!" Sarah exclamed between sobs. She had her head in her hands and her head resting on Jeremy's shoulder.
Headlights flashed in through the window and a car parked in her driveway. Two guy's got out and came to the door. Sarah and Jeremy went to the door. Two police men were there, Sarah invited them in.
"Are you Sarah Williams?"
"Yes." Sarah was confused.
"I'm Officer Molar, this is Officer Farley." Sarah's eyes began to fill with water as soon as she noticed a familiar looking wallet in Officer Molar's hands.
"I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. You're parents were in a terrible accident." Sarah reached for Jeremy, he caught her just as her knees were giving out.
"What kind of an accident?" Sarah asked, allowing Jeremy guide her back to the couch.
"There was a four car pile-up, you're parents were in the middle of it. They...they didn't survive." Sarah screamed as Officer Molar handed Sarah her fathers wallet.
"What the hell are you doing?" The guy asked.
"Jeremy...I...I...um..." Sarah looked at Jareth for help.
"I'm Jareth." He said, extending his hand for a handshake. Jeremy turned around and shook his hand.
