Oy I'm so confused. I really don't know how to do all of this. Two stories at the same time. I'm just asking for trouble. Thank you for reviewing my last chapter DJinn. Could you please tell me what was confusing about the last chapter? Thanx. Oh and if you're opposed to suicide don't read. As usual I don't own Jareth or Labyrinth. A great big thanks to Everyone who has reviewed!!

Chapter Thirteen: Falling

The next day I got up and went through my usual routine. Then I sat in the room and thought about what I should do. Suddenly I had an urge to look at Jareth in my crystal. Something wasn't quite right. I grabbed my crystal and called up Jareth's image in it. I saw Jareth lying in his throne crying. "What's the use? She'll never love a fae like me! I'll never love again after her. What's a life without love? I should end it but I won't for her sake. Not until she prove her feelings one way or the other," he stated. Then he stood up and walked out of the throne room.
After I put the crystal down and shut it off I sat on my bed. "He really does love me," I thought to myself. My heart tightened from the knowledge of all I've done to him. I just buried my face in my hands and cried. After my crying fit I got a paper and pen out and scratched a quick message on it saying: Jareth,
By the time you read this I'll have thrown myself out the window. Don't follow. Please take good care of Lady. It was fun while it lasted.
Peace, love and dog turds,
Meagan

I put it on my desk, climbed onto the windowsill and jumped.
I fell for what felt like hours. I had my arms stretched out, my eyes closed, and my body braced for impact. The impact never came because my body halted in mid-fall. I opened my eyes and saw I had stopped two feet from the ground. Then I began to lower gently to the ground in a standing position. Once I landed a worried Goblin King hugged me furiously. "Don't you ever do that again!" he yelled holding me an arm's length away. A few seconds later he crushed me to him and kissed me on the lips passionately.
When he broke the kiss he led me inside. Then he left me to my own devices. It was as if nothing had happened. I shrugged and walked into the library. I picked out a book called flight of dragons. Then I sat in the armchair facing the roaring fireplace, Turned on a lamp, and began to read. After awhile I was lying across the armchair quite involved in the book. So involved in fact I didn't notice Jareth walk in. "Enjoying my armchair love?" I heard his sultry voice whisper in my ear. I jumped a mile in the air. Then I turned around and looked him in the face. He had a smug smile and his eyes shined with a playful light. I scooted over in the chair and made room for him. He sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulder.
I gulped nervously and continued to read my book. "So what are you reading?" he asked playing with my hair.
"Flight of Dragons by Peter Dickenson," I answered nervously. He continued to caress my hair until I put down my book and snuggled into his chest. With my head resting on his chest and his hand rubbing my arm I grew quite content. I sighed happily and looked up into his contented mismatched eyes. I smiled and he smiled back at me. Then he placed a light kiss on my forehead and I turned my attention to the fire. "If this is what it feels like to fall in love I don't want to stop falling," I thought to myself. Then I thought, "Love! I can't fall in love. I have to stop this. I have to leave before this progresses." I struggled, not wholeheartedly, to get out of his embrace. He lets go, I stand up, turn to him showing tear filled eyes, and run out of the room.
I went into my room, closed my door, lay face down on my bed, wrapped my arms around my head, and cried. Suddenly I felt a hand rubbing my back comfortingly. "What's wrong Meagan?" I hear Jareth's voice ask.
"I don't deserve a king. I'm a mere mortal. You're an ageless fae king. It would never work. Plus I don't want to be responsible for your death if this is just a passing crush. I don't want to destroy you!!" I wailed with my head buried in the bed. He picked me up and hugged me to him caressing my hair. "Now you listen to me. It is I who doesn't deserve such a caring girl like you. If immortality bothers you I can make you like me. As for being a king, it's not what it's cracked up to be. I would much rather be a commoner. As for breaking the bond, I know you wouldn't just by how much you seem to care about not destroying me," he stated kissing my forehead. We sat like that for an hour.
I kissed his lips and said, "Thank you Jareth." He just smiled and continued to caress my hair. "I hope all the roadblocks are gone from our path. If they aren't I'm not sure I can take much more," I stated.
Yay!! Eesh that took too long. Here's the scoop peeps I'm not uploading more unless I get five more consistent reviewers. Sorry.
