I'll Always Love A Bad Boy (Sequel To I Fell In love With The Bad Boy)

Chapter 24 - Dreaming of Corey

- Jasmine -
"Oh my god, come on. I've been here all night and the least you could do is let me see him." I raged at the rude receptionist who for some reason refused to let me see Corey.

"Like I said before he's in a critical condition and the last thing he needs is you in there harassing him." she said dryly.

"But-"

She interrupted me, "You've been annoying me all night to see him, and the answer won't change anytime soon. I suggest you go him Miss Foster."

I groaned and turned around, walking back over to the waiting room seats where my friends sat.

"It's no use. She told me to go home." I said to them.

"Then he's still critical I take it." Dylan asked.

"Yeah he is." I answered my voice dull.

"We should all go home, they'll probably call us when we can see him." Jake reasoned.

"That's a good idea J, come on I'll take you home." Toby took my hand and led me out to his car.

Both of us were silent on the way to my house, probably because Toby had no idea what to say to me. If the situation was reversed I wouldn't know what to say to him either.

He was still in his tux from last night and I still had my dress on, complete with stains of Corey's blood.

"I should have gone in the ambulance with him." I mumbled as we pulled up outside my house.

"I'm not letting you do this to yourself." Toby said locking eyes with me.

"Do what to myself?" I asked distractedly.

"Blame yourself for what happened to him." Toby was dead serious, "Go inside and take a shower. Then you're going to sleep."

I knew he was right. He always was.
I walked inside my house mum and dad just stood there watching me, they obviously has no idea what to say to me.

I trudged up the stairs and round to the bathroom. Standing in the shower under the hot, steamy water I could think of nothing but Corey. Right back to when we were still getting to know each other, he was a bully and a bad boy and I was a good girl.

All the things he had done for me and all the things we've been trough together. I figured a five minute shower was enough so I turned the water off and wrapped a towel around myself.

Back in my room I pulled on one of Toby's shirts that had somehow made it into my closet, and slid into bed. It was only now that I realised just how tired I was, I drifted to sleep instantly.

*FLASHBACK DREAM*
*Santa Monica pier last year*
Corey and I were walking to a haunted house that was clearly only here temporarily. I am so scared of roller coasters so imagine how scared I am now going into a haunted house.

So far I have watched a bunch of Chinese girls in front of us scream their heads off, and it seems odd that no one has jumped out to scare Corey and I.

I guess I just jinxed myself because at that moment a guy with blood all over his face and rags for clothes, jumped out from behind a curtain with a knife. He came at me with it and I screamed causing him to disappear into the shadows. I didn't realise I was shaking and that Corey had stopped and was watching me.

"Woah that really got you didn't it?" he said looking at me seriously.

"Y-Yeah I w-wasn't expecting i-it." I stuttered still shaking.

Corey put his arm around my waist pulling me closer and lead us to the exit. I couldn't help but feel that he was protecting me. He took me to get some fairy floss and then we went down to the beach. We walked along close enough that our body's brushed together, and we both stared ahead in silence.

Do you have swimmers?" he asked breaking the long silence.

"Yeah under my clothes, why?" I asked.

"Let's go for a swim." he said stopping abruptly and stripping his shirt off and leaving his bordies on. He waited for me as I pulled my shirt and shorts off too. I watched him examine my body and I did the same. He was fit and slim like the way I had guessed he would be. Although I didn't get long to examine it because he picked me up and carried me toward the water.

"No no no no!" I screamed and locked my arms around his neck.

"Come on sweetheart let me have some fun." he said smirking that stupid but cute smirk.

"Fine, but you're coming in with me." I said stubbornly, deciding not to unlock my arms from around his neck.

"As you wish sweetheart." he said and ran into the ice cold water and started splashing me. I splashed right back until we were both left sitting in knee deep water puffing.

"I wonder where the others are?" I said but I honestly didn't care right at this second. They were probably having their own fun.

"Don't know." he shrugged as if he too didn't care.

"Hey Corey, I just wanted to say thank you for bringing me along this weekend." I smile.

"It wouldn't have been as fun without you." he said smiling back.

This left me with a warm fuzzy feeling creeping its way around my whole body, no one had ever said that to me and hearing that from Corey the bad boy made me feel even better.

- Jasmine -
I sat bolt upright in my bed and realise I was crying. I'd just dreamt about one of the best times Corey and I had had together. My eyes were still sore and I'd only slept for two hours. I flopped back down onto my pillow wiping the tears from my eyes. I think the worst part of this whole ordeal was that I didn't know if Corey was alright or not. I closed my eyes again...

*FLASHBACK DREAM#2*
*New York City*

"So what happens now?" Corey asked.

"We finish college and get on with our lives."

"I just want this moment to last forever."

I smiled at him, "Me too, but we can't stop time." I pouted.

"If only..." he trailed off.

"Wow look at Lady Liberty, she's so beautiful." I said admiring the Statue of Liberty.

"She's nothing compared to you." he kissed me.

"You really mean that?" I smiled.

"Every word."

I laid my head in his chest as we stood still admiring Lady Liberty. Two people walked up next to us, and they were holding hands. My glance fell on Zoe who was cuddling Dylan I smiled and she returned it.

"Hey guys." Jake called as he stood on the other side of us with Kirsty.

"What is this?!" Zoe squealed excitedly.

"This is the start of a new relationship." Jake and Kirsty nodded.

"I'm glad for you guys." I said happily.

"So where will we go when we finish college?" Kirsty asked, that was a very valid question.

"I don't care where we go as long as we're together." I pointed out.

"Here, here." they all chorused together.

"So here's to being together forever!" Zoe yelled raising her fist above her head in victory.

*END OF FLASHBACK DREAM*

This time I woke to my phone ringing and buzzing beside me, the screen flashed 'Mrs Anderson'. I smiled maybe it was okay to go and see Corey now.

The phone stopped buzzing as it rang out. I was about to pick up my phone to call her back when Mrs Anderson was calling me again, she must have had something to tell me.

"Hello?"

"Jasmine, are you at home?" She spoke from the other end.

"Yeah why?" I responded slightly confused.

"I have something to tell you."
