Chapter 4 Sarah's thought strayed back to Jareth again. 'Sarah stop thinking of him, he doesn't care about you, look what you did to him. Nobody cares about you anymore.

~Please, please forgive me~

~ But I won't be home again.~

~ Maybe someday you'll look up,~

~ And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:~

~"Isn't something missing?"~

*The Underground*

In the Underground Jareth watched Sarah though a crystal. He had seen her cutting herself again. He hated to see her doing this, but he couldn't go to her unless she called on him. She hadn't even called on her friends in over a year, so he had no hope of her calling him. Jareth sighed and made the crystal vanish with a flick of his wrist. He believed that Sarah had forgotten him, and even her friends, she had grown up and left him behind.

~ You won't cry for my absence, I know -~

~ You forgot me long ago.~

~Am I that unimportant?~

~Am I so insignificant?~

~Isn't something missing?~

~Isn't someone missing me?~

"My sweet Sarah," he whispered, "if only you would say my name."

*Aboveground*

Sarah hated to admit it, but she really did miss him, and want him. But she could not call him. Even if he did care about her still, she didn't deserve him. He deserved so much better than her.

~Even though I'm the sacrifice~

~You won't try for me, I know~

~Though I'd die to know you love me~

~I'm all alone~

~Isn't someone missing me?~

*The Underground*

Jareth hated to see her hurt herself, it pained him to know that she was in so much pain that she physically hurt herself to release some of it. He longed to be able to go to her and soothe her pain.

~Please, please forgive me~

~But I won't be home again~

~I know what you do to yourself~

~I breathe deep and cry out~

~Isn't something missing?~

~Isn't someone missing me?~

*Aboveground*

Sarah lay on her bed, looking at her new cuts. She looked at them with a mixture of admiration and disgust. She hated that she did it, but she couldn't stop. She didn't really want to stop.

~And if I bleed, I'll bleed~

~knowing you don't care~

~And if I sleep just to dream of you~

~And wake without you there~

~Isn't something missing?~

~Isn't something.~

Sarah heard the front door slam shut and got up to look out her window. Her parents and brother were all getting into the car, going out together, somewhere. So nice of them to invite her, or even to tell her they were leaving.

She walked back to her vanity and picked up he razor again. Then she pulled up the sleeve of her right arm and began the process over again. This time cutting even deeper, and making more cuts. When she was done Sarah walked over to her bed and lay down, drifting into a restless sleep.

A/N: Thanks for reading, more to come soon. Review and I'll update, if you don't I will anyway, but you don't know that.
