Jareth stared blankly at the girl. And she used that as her chance to escape past him and return to main castle. Jareth began to pace.

"Guard!" The goblin king screeched.

"Yes, your-" The goblin started as he ran towards his king.

"I want you to go torture one of the prisoners. I don't care which one!" Jareth stated in anger.

"Of course, your majesty. But I do-"

"What?!" Jareth punched the wall behind the goblin.

"Why did I have to lie to the Queen before?" the goblin said, regretting every word that escaped his lips.

"I will not answer to a pest like you. Now go!" Jareth said while storming back up to the castle.

"May!" The goblin king yelled as soon as he reached the top. A one legged goblin was hopping about sweeping the throne room floor.

"She went-" Jareth pushed the goblin down to the floor before exiting the room.

"Fuck!" May yelled as she threw a vase across the room. A goblin screamed in terror when it shattered near them. "Why did he have to go and ruin-!" She sat down on huge bed. "I'm the one that ruined everything…"

May's pity party was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Jareth I'm-" She started, "I'm not in the mood!"

"Well that's too bad now isn't it." Jareth was leaning against the wall behind her, "It's almost saddening that you forget who I am sometimes, my dear." Jareth slowly made his way over to May who was still sitting on his bed.

"What else do you want me to say! I'm sorry?" May refused to turn around to look at him.

"I would like to know, why, when, and how you did it?" Jareth's nails were digging into May's shoulders. He moved her so she was forced to see his face.

"I don't think you do. You want me to tell you I'm lying." May forced a smirk, that was smacked away. May touched were Jareth had just hit her. "I'm not lying though."

"Answer me! You don't have any power here! I control everything in this labyrinth, and yet you-" Jareth was cut off as May placed her middle finger to his lips.

"It was my wedding day." May removed her finger and laid down on the bed. A few tears ran down her face as she spoke, "I had been dating Max, Sarah's only child, for about three years. We were highschool sweethearts, and before that we were lifelong friends. I really did love Max and at one point I loved Sarah too." May stopped for a moment and looked at Jareth, "Not in the same way you loved her though, it was more like a big sister way. But- As we got older, Max became more controlling. I wasn't allowed any friends that weren't his friends as well. Compromise became non-existent, it was his way or nothing. And although I saw the red flags, a part of me was in love with him."

There was a long pause as May processed what she was going to say next.

"Soon he was making all of my decisions for me. Even when he asked me to marry him, it was more of a heads up, Hey we're getting married. I was terrified that he had planned out everything for me and didn't care what my opinion was on any of it. I tried breaking up with him, and told me no. I tried getting my parents to help me, but they told me that my behaviour had gotten so much better since I started seeing him. And that it was for the best if I just went through with it. I felt trapped. I didn't even get to pick out my wedding dress. Sarah picked it out for me. When I tried to explain to Sarah that I didn't want to get married. She told me that if her son wanted it, he was going to have it." May could feel Jareth growing impatient, "So that's what happened. Three long months, of being obedient, being trapped, attempting to run away only to be found hours later. Then the wedding day came. My father walked me down the aisle, while I cried. Then something happened when Max took my hands, I had enough." May sat back up to face Jareth.

Jareth slightly flinched at her sudden movement.

"I started to laugh, like a maniac. I sounded like a cartoon villain. I looked at the man I once loved with every fiber of being and I told I couldn't marry a man like him. He clung onto my wrist and pleaded out, But May, I can't live without you. At the time I thought he was lying. I mean how could you say you loved someone, but not let them have any freedom?" May stopped again and stood up, "Then I had to go and say; Then die."

Jareth looked at the girl, he had expected her to pull a gun or at least a knife.

"I said that, in front of my family, his family, our friends. All the while in a church. I didn't care at that moment. I just ran away in the confusion. I spent the night at some dive and listened to the endless voice messages from my father about how stupid I was, from Max on how if I came back everything would just go back to normal, from Sarah on how she'd kill me for ruining her son's special day. When I woke up there was a post online from Max. He wrote a suicide note, that claimed if he couldn't live in a world- if he cou-" May was starting to cry again, "I killed him, by not marrying him. He committed suicide because I told him no. I was the first to say no to him and go through with it. He couldn't take it." May looked over to Jareth who was still sitting on the bed. "Then Sarah made sure everyone believed that I was responsible for killing him. She turned the whole town against me. I grew bitter and distant. Then because of her misery she died from a broken heart. I killed them both."

"Is that all that happened?" Jareth said while getting closer to May.

"Yes… or maybe, his name was actually Justin,his mom Sarah used to watch me when I was kid. And one night I T-boned him and his mom." May smirked. Jareth grabbed May's shoulders and shook her.

"Which one is it!"

"Does it matter? In both cases, I knew them personally, and I didn't mean to kill them, but I still did." May placed her hands on top of Jareth's, "I'm sorry I killed them. But know that it wasn't entirely my fault."

"But in both cases you did kill Sarah." Jareth said, his eyes watering a bit.

"Yes. I am sorry for your loss."

"And she had a son…" Jareth said with a twinge of anger in his voice.

"Yes. Again, sorry that she moved on."

"Why didn't you?" Jareth asked.

"Didn't I what?" May asked confused.

"Sarah didn't hesitate when she had the option to leave the labyrinth. Why did you stay?" Jareth raised her chin up, so that he could see May's bewildered face.

"That- ah…" May said her face turning a bit red, before going back to normal, "I have to be sure that my friends here are okay."

Jareth smirked, knowing that wasn't the real answer.
