Where love never slept

The door

Sarah woke up fast covered in cold sweat and the bright morning sun shining at her. She sits up and sees a note on her bedside, she picks it up and reads.

' dear Sarah,
Don't got outside side, the only time you can do to get the mail or the laundry off the line. Word has it your dads being released and may head this way. Cops will come by at noon to check on you then go search for your dad. His lower got him out early, so what ever you do don't go outside. If you do my gun is in a safe under my bed, and the shot guns on the wall in the parlor. Stay safe,

-Oscar'

Sarah couldn't believe it. She sat up and found her self in a navy blue grey mixed skirt that goes to mid calf. And a light great sweater. She grabs her shoes and a pair of socks out of her dresser. Grabbed a hair tie, and stumbles as she rushes down the stairs throwing her hair up and putting socks and shoes on. She grabs the basket, and opens the door and quickly grabs the clothes off the line. But as she turns to The house door, she stops. And turns to see the door in the garden wall. She sets the basket down, and remembered what jareth has said.

'You have thirteen days to chose weather to stay or leave reality, I wish you best luck dearest'

She turned to the door and slowly made her way to the door, stepping on the stone path, and a few small puddles. She reached the door and grabbed the knob, and slowly turns it to the right.

Meanwhile back at the goblin city, where every goblin left due to their king being defeated, jareth feels a tug at his shirt. He stands up and realizes.

'The door but wh-'

His head turned to the window.

'Sarah!'

He grabs his waist coat an burst through the throne room doors and out the front.

He throws a crystal ball and a straight line through the labyrinth shows and he runs faster than any created.

Sarah opens the door and sees the same forest but more bright and aesthetic. She steps in and looks around, she walks a few steps and stops. She hears foot steps, her heart races with fear. Is it her dad, did he find her. She slowly backs up, but was tackled by a blond blurt.

The two roll on the ground and came to a stop, Sarah pail and eyes shut tight.

She opens them to find a string tight grip around her, a fast heart beat she can hear. And lungs taking in air and out fast. She looks up to see blond hair cover the face of her capture. She blinks a few times, she opens her mouth and waits for words to come out.

"I jareth?"
He looks up with a smile, he winks and has a childish look on his face.

"I was wondering when you would walk through that door into my arms", Sarah looked up and was able to slide out of his arms and sit up. She leaned closer,
Jareth felt his heart race more.

'Is this how she choose to leave reality?!'

But it wasn't. She flicked his nose and got up and leaned against a tree and slide down and curled up, jareth on the other hand covered his nose and laughed.

"Ow haha, I thought you were going to kiss me well I must say dearest yo-" he looked over and was confused why wasnt she laughing or giggling.

He walked over and sat next to her, her navy blue plaid skirt with hints of grey covered her legs and her sweater was buttoned up all the way. He slowly placed his hand on hers, she jerked a bit but gave up.

"What's troubling you dearest?"

She looked up, her black eye had gotten worse due to the fight yesterday, and more cut marks were arm her arms,

"The truth hurts and I don't want to tell the truth"
He chuckled lightly
"Don't tell me truth hurts little girl"
She looks up confused and a little angry.
" because it hurts like hell",
Sarah couldn't help but giggle. Jareth sat close to her and rapped his arm around her. Sarah looked up then laid her head on his shoulder.

From enemies to friendemies. To almost lovers, jareth has being there for Sarah, when her friends couldn't. She worried about them and why jareth is only there to comfort her.

Jareth stood up and held out his hand, Sarah looked up and slowly took his hand. Jareth pulled her up and rapped his arms around her and began to sway. That's when Sarah realized cops would be by to check on her, "j jareth," he looked down "yes dearest".

Sarah sighed and asked theee questions .

The first one was why didn't her friends from the labyrinth come see her.

Two why can't her get through the door.

And three why did he care?.
