Sarah had calmed down soon after Amy got her back to the main hall. Sarah was annoyed at this as she asked to go back to her room. She was acting more and more like her normal self so Amy was at least a little bit happy.

But now she had to explain why she hadnt told her Jareth was coming, and why she sent him in after her. It would be simple enough to explain, and hopefully simple to understand too.

"I was just trying to help Sarah." Amy said in her defence.

"By not telling me he was here?" Sarah shouted, storming around the room. She had stopped crying, now she was just angry. But more at herself than anyone else. Why had she been so weird?!

"Yes!" Amy shouted back. She was beginning to loose her temper. "Yes I thought that would help, I know you still like him Sarah!"

Sarah opened her mouth to retaliate, but closed it again realising she had nothing to say back. Amy was right. She did still like him. She put her hands up to her face and started crying again.

"Why do I feel like this? Im not meant to be feeling happy, Carl is dead!" She said between sobs.

Amy put her arms around her and rocked her back and forward, like a baby. "Its ok to be happy. Bad things happen, but life goes on. I know you miss Carl, but you cant hate yourself for wanting to move on."

"But…"

"Carl wouldn't want you to be unhappy. He would want you to be enjoying life, and celebrating your life rather than being miserable because of him."

She had almost stopped crying, her voice muffled by sniffles. "But it was my fault."

"Do you really believe that?"

Sarah nodded silently.

"It wasn't your fault Sarah! You cant blame yourself for what happened, you didn't know he would have an accident, you didn't think he'd be stupid enough to actually drive while he was drunk. Look at me," She did, her eyed red. "You cant keep blaming yourself because its making you feel worse. It wasn't your fault. Ok?"

Sarah nodded again. She wiped the remaining tears from her cheeks and pulled away from Amy. "I should go say sorry. I was being a bitch to him."

"Whoa! Sarah Williams apologising? Never thought that would happen!" Amy said sarcastically.

Sarah laughed. "Trust me, this is the first and last time." And then she went in search of Jareth.

"She hates me Wyatt." Jareth flopped down in his brothers throne as he appeared in the room.

"She doesnt hate you, she's just not really herself at the moment." Wyatt said from somewhere on the balcony. He was looking down into the main hall at Sarah and Amy. Sarah had just being shouting, and now she was crying? He had never understood womens mood swings.

"She shouted at me, thats very much like her!"

"You shouted at her too, dont forget that." Wyatt turned to look at his brother and saw that he was genuinely upset about this. "Jareth, you just have to be nice. Girls like a bit of sensitivity and your not very sensitive a lot of the time."

"How could I be sensitive to her? She wanted me to be the villain so I was."

"Jareth stop being so stubborn!"

Jareth was quiet. He looked at his brother and then at the door. "Your right." He shot up out of the chair and headed out of the room. "I shall apologise to her!"

"Whoa! Theres something I never thought Id hear him say!!" Wyatt laughed as his brother left. He turned back to the window and saw Sarah shoot out of the room with a smile on her face.

Sarah was wandering the castle in search of Jareth.

What she didn't know was that Jareth was looking for her too.

She had looked everywhere she could think of, but she couldn't find him. There was no one around to ask them if they had seen him so her task was made even harder.

She was walking down a corridor when she heard a door behind her open. She stopped and looked back at the door. Walking closer she saw the escher room. Last time she had been in a room like this, she had been at Jareth's castle searching for her brother. Now she was searching for him.

She closed the door behind her as she entered the room and stared down at the stairs going in every direction. Maybe she would be able to find him from here.

Jareth obviously had the same idea. He had entered the escher room from the throne room, hoping that one of the doors there would lead him to Sarah. While running up the first set of stairs he heard footsteps above him. He stopped and looked up, and saw Sarah staring back at him.

"Jareth!" She shouted to him, a smile coming to her face. Jareth couldn't help but smile back at her.

"Sarah what are you doing all the way up there?" He laughed. "Just stay where you are, Im coming to get you." He started running up more stairs towards her.

"No that's alright, its easier for me to get down there."

Jareth looked up as she stepped to the edge. "Sarah don't you dare!"

"I'll be fine." Before he could stop her, she had jumped straight off he edge just like she had last time. Only this time Jareth wasn't working his magic. She wouldn't float down and have a soft landing at all.

"Sarah!" Shouted Jareth as he ran to where she was falling. He got there just in time and caught her in his arms. He kept her close to him and buried his face in her hair. "Please don't scare me like that again."

Sarah was touched, and speechless. She had never seen this side of Jareth; so caring and gentle. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head against his shoulder. She felt his breath on her neck and shuddered, hoping he didn't notice.

"Im sorry." They said at the same time and laughed. They were both still clinging to each other, not wanting to let go ever again.

"Sarah you have nothing to apologise for, I was being a jerk."

Sarah giggled slightly, thinking how funny that sounded coming from him. "It wasn't you Jareth, I was being a bitch as usual."

"Your not a bitch Sarah. Why don't we just call it even, the way we're going we could start another argument just trying to figure out who should be sorry about the last one."

Sarah laughed, knowing he was right. "Ok deal."

They stayed that way for a few minutes, Sarah held up in Jareth arms with hers around his neck. It was Sarah that broke the silence.

"Jareth?"

"Yes?" He looked up at her and saw her eyes staring straight into his.

She kissed him on the cheeks and looked back at him, a smile coming to his face. "Thank you. For catching me."

Wooo! I wanted to get something in there that shows Jareth isn't evil and that Sarah doesn't hate him, so there it is! Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it! R&R!
