After his enlightening visit with Jared, Jareth found himself at Sarah's door. Just standing this close to her made his heart beat heavy. As he stood there another song came to his lips.
When I'm this close to you
My heart beats so quickly
And my life blood is turning blue
Because it's hard to me to breathe easily
I can't breathe
This close to you
I can't feel
Can you feel this too?
When you walk away from me
A part of me is dying
Your cruelty kills me can you see?
Can't you see my heart is crying?
Sarah could hear the song and it crushed her. Was she really being so cruel? 'No!' she thought to herself, 'I won't fall for a man who turns children into goblins and kidnaps me or attempts to kill Jared!' But no matter what, his sad song clawed at her guilt conscience.
Jareth hadn't moved from where he stood. Slowly his hand inched toward the door knob. As he opened the door he called out her name. "Sarah," it was just barely above a whisper. After he completely opened the door he walked in and closed it behind him.
He found Sarah standing by the window with her back to him. When she turned around she had a puzzled look on her face, but it quickly disappeared. Instead it was replaced with anger. A look he was familiar with. "What do you want," she asked, "Besides me?"
His expression was cold as he answered, "I only want to see how you are doing,"
Sarah crossed her arms over her chest, "I would be doing better if you would just let me and Jared go," she said curtly.
Jareth's expressional didn't change. "You know that I can't do that," he said. He then walked towards her and she backed up as much as she could. When he reached out to touch her, she turned away. "Don't torture yourself so," he said as he again reached out to touch her face, this time she didn't move. "Tell me that you have no feelings for me."
His cool hand touched her check and she closed her eyes. "I don't know," she answered. She leaned her head into his hand. "You bring something out of me that I don't understand."
"It's called love," he replied, his face had softened when she didn't shy away from his touch. He began to lean in to her and she looked up into his eyes. Soon their heads touched and Jareth finally went for the kiss. It was his first kiss with her and he was enjoying it. But as he began to deepen the kiss, Sarah pulled away. When he opened his eyes he saw a sad and confused look on her face. "What's wr-?"
"I can't do this," she said before he could finish his question. "It doesn't feel right!"
Jareth's anger returned two fold. "You will be mine, Sarah! This little crush for a boy won't last long!" Quickly he turned around and left. He purposefully slammed the door.
He left Sarah standing against the wall. She was starting to have mixed feelings for Jareth, but she had loved Jared ever since she first saw him. She was pretty sure he loved her back, but she had her doubts. Maybe it was just all a trick played by the Goblin King. In exhaustion she sat on the bed and began to cry. Soon she just laid down, her sobs shaking the bed. "I hate you," she said to Jareth. "I hate you for doing this to me!"
