Jareth looked around the pool. There were blondes, brunettes, thin, curvy, you name it, and it was there. Jar wasn’t typically a shallow guy, looks weren’t everything to him. Talent was the most attractive thing, music especially. Yuki’s skill with piano and violin had lured him in more than anything. Of course, that wasn’t all of it. She was beautiful and cherubic, and her innocence made her all the more [i]enticing[/i]. He had hoped for things to have gone differently with them. He had hoped that she could fix him, because he so desperately needed someone to be the glue to hold his pieces together.

Jar had wanted them to work out, but he had also wanted more from Yuki than she was willing to offer, and his stupid desires made him make stupid decisions. Jar knew it was wrong, and that’s why he chose to end things, but of course he had waited until he had [b]royally[/b] fucked up to do so. What’s worse? That he didn’t even tell her the whole truth about it. Yeah, he got a blowie at a party, but… it wasn’t because he was drunk. No, he was high on E at the time, at least that’s what he thinks those pills were… And he had two options: own up to the fact that he sometimes self-medicated his feelings with drugs, or lie. Yuki didn’t know about his drug problem, and he didn’t want to change that, so he chose the option that made him a monster in more ways than one, and he lied to spare himself. 

The sound of splashing water pulled Jar out of his thoughts and he shook his head slightly. He wasn’t supposed to think about her this week, he was supposed to stop beating himself up over one [i]stupid[/i] mistake. Jareth looked up at the source of the fortunate distraction from his thoughts. A girl with cherry red, black-tipped hair and a sleeve of tattoos had just jumped into the pool. No, Jar wasn’t normally a shallow person, but in that moment, he kind of was. It took all his focus to keep his jaw from dropping and instead to send her a charming smile and a wink before looking away, playing the part of coy.

Looking away was a mistake, because who else did he see? None other than the aforementioned Yuki, and she was looking right at him. Shit. [i]Shit, shit, shit.[/i] He immediately felt consumed with guilt because she had noticed him just as he was clearly checking out another girl. And then she took off running, sending another wave of guilt through him. No matter how much his mistake and their break up hurt him, he knew it hurt her at least twice as much. Jar debated going after her, but what good would that do? He was the problem, and the source of all her pain. Jareth sighed and looked down at the waves, feeling like some incredible kind of asshole. He couldn’t even bare to look at the girl with red hair for fear that she had seen the whole thing. 

Suddenly, the water slides sounded like a much more fun idea than staying here. That, and a few stiff drinks.
