Jareth tried calling her back, but stopped midway into her name. He couldn't love her, she would soon leave, they would go their separate ways.
He had always been so good at guarding his heart, not feeling anything for anyone except his immediate family.
He had always been distance from all the girls around, some called him heartless, cold... Well they were true or so he thought.
Never would he have thought that a girl he just met, would be able to break his defenses and melt his cold heart.
Ever since he met her, for the first time, he had felt a pertaining longing, fear, pain, joy, sorrow. He even talked a lot more these days and argued a lot with her. She had done so much to him without him ever noticing.
She had breached his walls and defenses. Just now when he rejected her, the down cast look on her face, it stabbed at his heart, causing a pain so sharp.
