Disclaimer: I don't own this stuff, so don't sue me please!!!!!!
Note: I fiddled w/ the lyrics to "Adam's Song" by Blink 182. No matter how much I love Blink 182, I had to or the song wouldn't fit.
"Sarah, give me another chance, please!!"
"Jareth, I can't. I want to go home now."
Jareth gave a painful sigh. "As you wish, Sarah. I shall send you home after you pack your things." Jareth turned and walked from the room with his head down.
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
Sarah packed her things quickly, trying to keep her mind off the pain in her heart. She knew that Jareth loved her, but she was still too shaken from the night before to remember how important that was to her.
Sarah hoped that the time away from Jareth and the castle would give her a chance to think. A chance to just sit down and dream like she used to do.
I never thought I'd be alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Jareth sent Sarah home an hour later with a very heavy heart. He hoped that she would be back soon. That was, assuming that she came back at all.
So Jareth went back to ruling the Labyrinth, acting as though nothing had happened. Aboveground, Sarah picked up life where she had left it. She got a job to pay the rent and various other bills, and of course, to buy food. On occasion, she would go out on a Friday night with a nice guy, all the while, she tried hard to get Jareth off of her mind.
For six months, Jareth waited for Sarah to come back. Finally, he decided he should check on her. Maybe if she saw him, she would remember how she felt about him.
Jareth looked around the room he was standing in, trying to find Sarah. He finally found her. She was sitting in the corner, but she wasn't alone. She was sitting with a tall man with short black hair, and she was leaning her head against his shoulder.
Instead of trying to talk to her, Jareth just bowed his head and returned to the Underground.
