Chapter 4:

A beam of sunshine shone through Sarah's window and awoke her. She got up and closed her curtains blocking out the irritating light, before lying back down on her bed.

Putting her hands behind her head she lied there staring at the ceiling thinking about yesterday. She missed her father so much already she couldn't imagine living the rest of her life without him.

She remembered how kind Jareth had been, nothing like the arrogant goblin king she knew him to be.

"How can one person have such different personalities I really don't get you Jareth" she said aloud. She sat up she had strange feeling of being watched she got up and looked around , then after checking around she dismissed the idea and lay back down on her bed. "Strange" she muttred.

She was glad that he had stayed with her last night; she knew that he had felt uncomfortable. But she was grateful to him.

"Damn" she cursed she had to be at work today and she had completely forgotten to call her boss but there was no way she could face getting back to normality just yet. Anyway, so what if they fired her? She hated the crummy job anyway; stuck in an office all day answering the telephone, her colleagues were lovely, but she didn't really fit in with them, and it was hardly the job she had dreamed of, but it was all she could find after she had decided not to pursue her acting career. She called her boss and explained what happened before getting back in to bed and falling asleep.

Jareth sat on his throne with his head in his hand; in the other hand he was watching Sarah in one of his crystals. He had been there for hours.

He had awoken very early and could not get back to sleep so he had checked his castle for any damage caused in his absence yesterday, thankfully there was none.

He walked over to his throne and sat down jumping up immediately there was a dead chicken where he had sat! He changed his now messed up trousers with his magic, he also got rid of the corpse on his throne "Bloody goblins" he cursed before sitting himself down. He produced a crystal and waited for Sarah to awaken.

He had just wanted to make sure she was alright but he had found himself watching her for ages. "How can one person have such different personalities? I really don't get you Jareth." He had heard her say he laughed.

"Not many people do Sarah." He noticed that Sarah had got up she looked nervous, she could feel him watching her he was shocked. "How could she possibly" even the Fae had trouble sensing when they were being watched by magic, she would need extreme powers, he was very curious but left it. She had lain back down and he decided to leave her besides he had other things to attend to. He would check on her later.

Sarah awoke a few hours later and wondered how long she had been asleep. "Bloody hell it's so late" She got up and went through the door and in to her living room, she looked around in horror it was such a mess, a window had broken and all dust and rubbish had blown inside her living room , it was awful.

"I don't believe it like I need this now" She stuck cardboard on the window and started cleaning up the mess. Several hours later and she was still there. She was drying the dishes when the phone rang. It was Felicity, Sarah's best and only true friend who almost understood her, other friends and even boyfriends she'd had were only interested in getting to know her because of her famous mother who she never even saw.

"Hey Sarah"

"Hey"

"Um I hear about your dad, are you alright?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine"

"You don't sound fine I'm going to come over"

"No don't I really am fine. I don't really feel like seeing anyone right now"

"Well okay but I'm definitely coming over tomorrow okay."

"Okay"

"Right take care, bye"

"Bye"

Sarah sighed Felicity was the best and basically only friend Sarah had ever had. She would stick up for her when the other kids called her weird for her love of fantasy and she never left her through the whole time they were in high school and college.

She could be annoying at times but Sarah was very grateful to her for the things she'd done for her in the past. She'd never told her she couldn't come over before.

Sarah felt seriously depressed now and went to put the dishes she'd dried in the cupboard, she picked them up and started to go over to the cupboard when she slipped on something on the floor. She tried to get her balance but she fell dropping all the plates on the floor. She wasn't hurt but she was in tears, she picked up a small china plate which was broken in to pieces and cried even harder; on the plate was a picture of the whole family together a few years ago; her father had given it to her. What had it been doing in the dishes pile?

She'd never eaten off it, it was too special. It was split in to four pieces just like their family was, four smiling faces leered up at her reminding her of what she'd lost, she flung the pieces away from her and they slid across the floor. She continued on crying and curled herself up in to a protective ball just wishing that things could go back to the way they were.

Jareth sat down on a window ledge and stretched his neck, he'd had so much paperwork to do and he'd been in a really bad mood for most of the day. The goblins had been avoiding him after he'd kicked two of them out of his study literally.

He produced a crystal and decided to check on Sarah. She was crying and there was glass everywhere

"What the hell's happened?" he feared the worst and transported himself to Sarah's apartment.

"Sarah what's wrong?" he asked softly.

Sarah lifted her head up and stared at him "What are you doing here Jareth?" she turned her head away "Just go away." She didn't want him here; she just wanted to be alone.

Jareth looked gob smacked "I'm here to help you, tell me what happened Sarah."

"No I don't need your help, just leave me alone"

"Sarah what's wrong with you?" Jareth looked concerned, she was acting very odd.

"You mean what's wrong with you, just go away, I don't want your help or comfort, and in fact I'd rather be comforted by the drunken guy next door maybe that will tell you something" she spat angrily at him. Hurt passed over Jareth's face before being replaced by coldness .He was angry now she could tell.

"Right fine, I can take a hint what ever possessed me to help a spoilt child like you in the first place?" he paused

"Don't bother calling me again because I won't answer."

"I didn't call you in the first place" she reminded him

"Good bye Sarah" and he was gone. Sarah was fuming "How dare he?" then a sudden realization dawned on her as she stared at the pile of glitter he left behind on the floor

"Oh my god what have I done" he was practically the only person she had left apart from Felicity. She ran into her room and started crying again before falling asleep from exhaustion.
