Sarah couldn't sleep all night, she knew in her heart something was wrong. Very wrong.
At 7am she stopped trying to sleep and got up showered and dressed. She downed several cups of coffee.
Leaving a note for Wendy who was to return that morning, she left and walked around for awhile before deciding she couldn't wait any longer and walked to Tommy's building. The feel of dread was growing.
She walked up the stairs, found his door and knocked.
No answer. She turned the knob and was surprised to find it unlocked. No one in New York left their doors unlocked.
This was not a good sign.
The apartment was dark. Too dark. She looked around and tiptoed into the bedroom, relieved to see Tommy laying on the bed. She took her shoes off to keep from making noise.
She padded silently to the side of the bed and looked down at him.
He did not look right. She took another step and something crunched underneath her feet. She bent down and saw pills laying on the floor...and a tipped over bottle of whiskey, half gone.
Alarmed she sat on the bed a shook Tommy.
"Hey Tommy..it's Sarah. Wake up okay?"
He wouldn't move.
She turned him over and put her hand under his nose and pressed two fingers against his neck. His breathing and pulse were terribly slow.
"Oh God!"
Tommy had obviously taken too many of these powerful painkillers.
She shook and shook and slapped him. He made some sort of grunting noise after a bit so he was still in there somewhere.
She was practically on top of him yelling in his face.
Sarah knew she should call an ambulance, but Tommy had told her he would rather die than spend another minute in one.
Instead she called home. Thankfully Wendy was there. "Wendy, please come I need your help." She told her the address and hung up then went back to the prone man on the bed.
She got back on the bed with him and continued to monitor his breathing and pulse. She wasn't an expert but it had not worsened. So maybe if she could get him awake she could help him.
She thought of something. She went and got a glass of water and put ice in it. She splashed the icy water in his face.
After a few minutes his eyes fluttered and he groaned again.
"Tommy! You NEED to wake up! If you don't wake up I'm calling a fucking ambulance!"
She saw his hand start to move, just a little. She kept poking him and prodding at him until she heard the door open and slam shut and Wendy rushed in.
"What the hell is going on Sar? " She took in the scene, Sarah sitting on top of a practically unconscious man on the bed.
"He took too many of these pills Wen, I need you to keep trying to get him conscious while I call Mila. She gave me a crystal to use when I am away from the portal in my room."
Wendy nodded. Sarah got off the bed and stepped back, Wendy, not as bold as Sarah and not knowing the man well, got up on the bed but stayed on the side of the man.
Sarah took the crystal out of her purse and talked into it. "Mila I need you to come to me."
She appeared behind Sarah. Sarah could see she was still not 100% recovered.
Sarah pointed at Tommy. "He is sick. He took too much medicine and washed it down with half a bottle of alcohol. If you can't help him I'm calling an ambulance and getting him to a doctor."
Mila shooed Wendy away and sat down, laying a hand on her son's chest.
After a few minutes, she stood, tears in her eyes. "There is little I can do to fight the effects of this, Sarah. How long has this been going on that he has been ingesting these human made chemicals?"
"I don't know. Probably a long time now." Sarah answered.
"He needs to get this..filth out of his body. Sarah he is an immortal in a mortal shell. If he destroys himself here, he will die in both worlds because his spirit will disintegrate. Can you help him? I am afraid what human healers would do to him."
Sarah closed her eyes and sighed. How in the hell is she going to do this?
"If I can get him awake, maybe. I'll keep trying for a little while longer Mila, but if he doesn't come around soon. I won't have a choice but to take him to a hospital. I'm no doctor."
"Do what you have to do daughter. I can no longer stay here. I need more time to recover. If I do not go now I won't be able to leave on my own." She disappeared in a small cloud of glitter, a look of despair on her face.
Sarah picked up his jacket and a bottle fell out. Picking it up she saw there was no name on it, but it was labelled as a potent prescription painkiller. That plus the alcohol was probably the culprit.
"What is it? Wendy asked her. She showed her the bottle. Wendy groaned.
"Sarah are sure we shouldn't just get him to hospital?"
Sarah was completely frustrated and confused. "No! Wendy, I am not sure of anything here."
Sarah sat back on the bed and worked to get Tommy to wake up. Every so often he would make a noise. A groan, mumble or sigh and move around so Sarah was a little optimistic. Cautiously so.
"Wendy find every pill you can and flush the fucking things. Please? Then you can go if you want. I'm staying here."
Wendy did as Sarah asked. "What about work?"
Sarah looked at her watch. "Damn!" She had Wendy stay with Tommy and called the library and told them she was sick and was taking a few days off.
Wendy stuck around until Sarah forced her out the door and even then told her she would be back in a few hours, she just needed to check in at the dance studio.
Sarah sat next to the unconscious Tommy, talking and moving him, shaking him and yelling at him. She cried and pleaded for him to come to. She was starting to feel like not calling an ambulance was worse than calling one.
All she could do was sit there and wait and hope he would come to soon. She laid her head on his chest and sniffled hoping she wasn't making a big mistake trying to do this herself.

_
The first thing Tommy noticed, was there was a weight on his chest. He moved his arm and felt around, discovering there was a person there.
He slowly cracked open one eye, wincing in pain. Looking down he saw dark hair. Sarah.
He laid there for a minute unsure of where he was or what day it was. He felt his stomach roll.
"Oh god bloody damn it.." He pushed the woman off of him and scrambled to try and get out of bed.
"Tommy?" He heard Sarah say behind him. She had drifted into a dreamlike state for a bit but was wide awake when Tommy pushed her off of him and slid off the bed.
He felt his way to the bathroom and ended up on his hands and knees finding the toilet and just making it in time to stick his head over the seat before he was violently ill.
Sarah had got her bearings quickly and followed him. She discreetly turned the other way while he vomited.
When he was done, he leaned his head against the cool porcelain wiping his mouth with his hand.
"What are you doing here." He croaked out.
"Saving your ass." Sarah answered. "When I got here you were barely breathing. What the hell were you thinking? Do you know how dangerous those pills are? And with alcohol?" You called me crazy!"
Tommy turned and sat, looking up at her. "Who the hell asked you to?"
Sarah just looked him, disgusted.
She stepped around him and turned on the shower and adjusted it.
"Here, let me help you get cleaned up. You smell disgusting." She said tugging at his vomit stained shirt.
He tried to fight her but was too weak. She got his shirt off and helped him get to his feet. He was swaying so leaned on her.
"I'll fall if I get in there." He said.
"Fine." She sat him on the toilet and started stripping off her clothes. He watched her, mildly interested.
"Sarah as lovely as you are, I'm really not in the mood."
She laughed a humorless laugh. "Me either. But I need my clothes to stay dry, so guess what? Nothing you haven't already seen."
When Sarah was naked she kneeled down and took his pants, underwear and socks off. She then stood and help him to stand with her. She put her arm around him and they both got into the shower.
"I must say, I'd hoped this would happen, but not in quite this manner." He joked as she scrubbed him and rinsed him off, and washed his hair.
When he was clean she helped him into the bedroom then went back to the bathroom and redressed.
He was laying on the bed naked and staring at the ceiling when she went back in.
He looked at her as she entered. "Darn. Now you have me at a disadvantage. Not only am I still naked, I'm weak as a newborn."
"Shut up. Do you know what you just put me through? Are you fucking stupid?" She yelled at him. "This isn't a joke."
He sat up a little. "It's none of your bloody business." He glared at her.
She stood there with her arms crossed. "It is now. I don't care if you remember or not. You ARE Jareth. And apparently Jareth, is my fucking husband or soul mate or whatever we are supposed to be. No wonder your memory can't come back, you've been poisoning yourself for how long?"
He scoffed at her and rolled his eyes. "I'm fine. I can handle it. "
"I beg to differ. Plus, I guess I should tell you. I flushed all the damn pills I could find." Sarah admitted, not bring her friend into it.
"WHAT?!" Tommy yelled back "Woman I will throttle you! I need those damn things to control these headaches!"
"Tommy how often do you have headaches?" She asked, she suspected she was on to an idea.
"As time goes on more and more. Ever since I met you nearly constantly. No surprise I should say." He answered looking her up and down.
Sarah sat next to him on the bed, a revelation dawning on her. "Tommy you are right, they are worse because of me. I mean because you met me, or found me. Whatever you want to call it."
He glared at her harder. "Could you at least get me some underwear, love." He ground out, making the "love" sound like a curse word rather than a term of endearment.
She got up and opened his drawers on his dresser looking for a pair. She located a pair and picked them up, underneath was a small velvet box.
She picked up the box and opened it.
She gasped. "Oh my God."
"What?" Tommy said behind her. "They are clean. I know you've seen men's underwear before."
She picked up the chain with her ring on it and turned to him.
"You have my ring." She said quietly. "The ring I left with The Wise Man."
Tommy looked puzzled. "Who or what is a wise man?"
"Certainly not you." She answered handing him the underwear. "Where did you get this?"
He pulled on the boxers to cover himself. "It was around my neck when I woke up in a field. Wearing nothing but gray pants, gloves, and covered in chicken feathers."
She helped him stand up so he could get the boxers over his hips. "Those weren't chicken feathers, I can guarantee it. They were owl feathers. From your cloak. Was there another necklace?"
He shook his head. "That cannot be you. You would have been a child. Why would I have the necklace of a child?"
"I was 15. Not a child. Not an adult either, granted. We need to find your amulet." Sarah answered pacing.
"I don't have any amulet." Tommy said, watching her pace around and feeling dizzy.
He reached over for the whiskey bottle and she snatched away from him.
"Give me the fucking bottle, Sarah. You will not tell me how to live." He said in an arrogant tone that sounded remarkably like The Goblin King.
She smirked. "Not going to happen. You are done with this crap, Tommy. The pills, the alcohol. It's going to kill you, you know. Either slowly or you are going to take so much you are just going to die. Is that what you want?'
He shrugged. "Doesn't matter. I don't have anything. A few belongs, a crappy job."
Sarah's face turned red with anger. "You have an entire fucking kingdom, a family, me! Look maybe you don't remember but I do! I've been there! I know you now, and before I knew you! And you know what? Even if you were just a regular human guy, you would have a reason to live. Because even if you were just Tommy Jones, bartender..I would still be falling in love with you!"
She stopped suddenly, surprised at her own words. "I've known you as Tommy for 5 days...and already...I'm in love with you." She finished quietly.
He was gobsmacked. He just sat there staring, his mouth hanging open.
She went and sat down next to him, slumped over and staring at her feet. She put her head in her hands and tried not to cry. "And I already almost lost you."
After a few minutes she felt his arms around her, and his cheek press against her shoulder.
"Sarah...Sarah...please..I..I don't know what to say. I promise I will try..okay? I still think you are crazy, but...well I already told you how I feel. That hasn't changed. I guess being in love with a madwoman might be my lot."
Sarah sniffled turned and buried her face in his neck. He laid back and she went with him.
She wrapped an arm around his chest and a leg around his waist.
"I wish sweet Sarah, I was strong enough to ravish you. Can we just sleep? I am so very tired."
She nodded against his chest.
Once he had fell asleep, she stared at the ring on it's chain. She had a feeling Tommy's headaches had something to do with his memory loss, and the increase must be because of his sudden proximity to her.
Sarah had a thought that maybe her closeness to him was causing those memories, the Jareth inside if him, to try and break free to get to her. Whether that meant something good or bad she wasn't sure.
Yes, Mila said Jareth would not hurt her, but it didn't mean he wasn't angry. He was extraordinarily powerful she had told Sarah. Even for his own kind. Sarah didn't particularly want to be on the receiving end of that.
Her eyes began to droop, as the sleepless night and emotional day took it's toll. She finally joined Tommy in slumber.

_
Tommy woke some hours later, oddly pain free. It was a good feeling, if not unusual these days. Some sort of peace had settled over him for the time being. He could feel his body was still not all that strong, but he should be able to stand.
He slid himself out from under the sleeping Sarah and went to the bathroom, then out to the kitchen.
He made himself a small bowl of cereal and took it back into the bedroom, sitting on the bed staring at Sarah and eating.
He was hungry. He realized he hadn't eaten since he had pizza with Sarah 2 days before. He was careful though, he knew if he ate too much he would be sick again.
Sarah, roused by the feeling she was being watched woke up and saw him there. She managed a groggy "Hey." and sat up.
"Hungry?" He asked as he spooned the cereal into his mouth.
Sarah shook her head. "Not really. Glad to see you are though. How are you feeling?"
He sat the empty bowl on his dresser and laid next to her on his side. "Better. Thank you, Sarah. I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I really didn't plan on hurting myself. The pain was so bad I didn't even pay attention to what I was doing."
She laid on her side and took his hand. "I know. You scared me so bad. First I'm told that you're my soul mate, then you almost die. I..." She felt tears welling up again and she sniffed them back. She was tired of crying.
Tommy played with her hair, leaning over and kissing her sweetly.
"You taste like mint and cheerios." She said, giggling.
"Brushed my teeth, precious. Thought it might be a good idea. Just in case." He kissed her again.
Sarah had a good idea what he meant but played along. "In case...of what?"
He pulled her close and kissed his way down her neck. "In case you let me thank you properly. For saving me. I'm still not 100% but I'm well enough. As long as we can stay laid down."
Sarah sighed against him. She shouldn't let him do this. He was in a weakened state, but damn he was good. Just his lips on her sent chills all through her.
"Tommy..I don't think we..ohhh.." His hand had gone inside her shirt and found one nipple, tugging and flicking at it.
"Let me... Sarah...I need to feel you wrapped around me..my lovely, crazy beloved.." He shed his boxers and helped her get her clothes off. He was fully erect already.
He moved his hand between them and found her damp sex, sliding two fingers inside and using his thumb against her bud.

Sarah moaned and came hard after only a few minutes. She rolled him so she was on top.
"Let me, you are still too weak. Let me do this." She told him. He let her.
She found him with her hand and poised above him then sat slowly, taking him inside.
He felt nothing but relief as he was finally sheathed inside of her. How could he be so enamoured of a woman he just met. He could never have enough. Even now, his body not up to par, he needed her. He needed this.
Sarah undulated her hips against his, moving herself up and down on his manhood. She was mystified at how this day had developed. She thought he was going to die, now she was making love to him.
She leaned down and kissed him. He held on to her hips and thrust upward to meet her strokes.
As the lovemaking continued, he found himself starting to enter some sort of fugue state..something.. was...
Sarah...my beloved...please, set me free...
Sarah heard his voice in her head. not Tommy. She knew who it was. "Jareth..." She pumped harder.
She should have thought of this before. This one way to bring him forward.
I can feel you..
She opened her eyes and Tommy was looking at her. It wasn't Tommy. Those blazing eyes were unmistakable.
She smiled down at him and kissed him again harder. He growled, dark, and dangerous.
"Jareth..I know you can hear me..I need to know. You aren't going to hurt me are you?"
He pulled her tighter against him, rendering her unable to move. Her muscles twitched around him and they stared into each other's eyes.
"Of course not. I love you Sarah. You are mine. Have always been mine. I am sorry about before. I was...surprised." He said finally. "How am I only able to break free when we are joined in passion?"
"I don't know. We are doing what we can. Please..don't give up. We are going to get you home and return you to yourself."
"I will be waiting." Jareth said, knowing what came next.
Jareth felt himself slipping back as Sarah starting moving again.
"I love you too, Jareth." She whispered. A slight smile came of Jareth/Tommy's face, and Sarah felt a warm sensation somewhere deep inside her soul, like a confirmation Jareth heard her.
My Sarah...
Sarah came again, and knew Jareth/Tommy was almost there. She felt his squeeze her hips, then his hips thrust upward hard and he cried out..filling her.

_
Tommy felt his orgasm take hold, Sarah kept moving, pumping him until he was spent. Then she slid off of him and laid next to him, both breathing hard.
"Wow. I don't know what to say. Every time I have sex with you I black out..so I think that's a compliment." Tommy remarked.
He turned to face her. "I am thoroughly exhausted now, but it was worth it. My head is starting to hurt again."
Sarah was feeling a bit guilty that while it didn't start out that way, it ended with her deliberately attempting to bring Jareth forward. How and why it worked, she did not know. Not yet anyway. She knew it had something to do with with their connection and being bonded to him. Or she thought it did anyway. Regardless, it had worked.
"Here let me massage your head." She said. She sat up and laid a pillow over her lap. Tommy laid his head on the pillow, looking up at her adoringly. She could see his eyes were tight with pain at the corners. That was probably an aftereffect of what she had done. Damn, more guilt.
She felt him relaxing, giving in to her ministrations. After a while he was deeply asleep.
She massaged his scalp for a while longer, then slid out from under him and decided to clean his apartment up a bit.
When she had been there before it had been as neat as a pin, but now things were scattered around and there was a mess in the kitchen. After all that she made sure she cleaned up the bathroom too.
She looked at the clock and saw she had been here the whole day, It was getting quite late.
She found the cereal and milk in the kitchen and made herself a bowl, flicking on the tv but not really watching it. When she was done she cleaned her dishes and went back to the bedroom. Tommy was sleeping soundly, and thankfully breathing normally.
Sarah curled up next to him. stroking his hair and beautiful face. He moaned slightly and turned laying his arm around her and smiling a little in his sleep. "Sarah..." He sighed. Damn that face.
She kissed his forehead and snuggled into his warmth, and after a while dozed off again herself, mentally and emotionally exhausted from the rollercoaster of emotions of the past few days. Her last waking thought was that it would soon be over, and Jareth would get back to where he belonged, with or without her.
