A Dreamer Caught In The Crossfire

Chapter 24

Jasmine woke up to the rays of sunshine pouring through the window. Still unaware of her surroundings, she looked over at the wall and read the time on the clock. Exactly 10am. She decided that she had overslept and it was time to get out of bed and head back to the hospital wing and check on Castiel. But as she attempted to roll out of bed she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. Being Jasmine, she did the first thing that came to mind.

She screamed.

This caused Eluard to jolt awake and scream as well. Jasmine, still not thinking straight, did not realize who it was and the moment his arms loosened their hold on her she turned and kicked him hard. Eluard was thrown off the bed and he landed on the floor with a loud groan. Jasmine grabbed a pillow as a weapon and looked over the edge of the bed only to find Eluard trying to get up.

She mentally kicked herself. They had both fallen asleep in his room the previous night just after Eluard's confession. And Jasmine had to admit it was some of the best sleep she ever had.

"Oh my goodness, Eluard I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!" she exclaimed.

"The hell kind of wakeup call was that!" he groaned as he climbed back onto the bed, his hair as messy as hers and his eyes still closed.

"Sorry, I'm not used to waking up with other people in the same bed as me," she said still feeling guilty.

Eluard wiped his eyes and rolled over to face her.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked in a raspy voice.

"Pretty good actually but I guess should head back to the Jordan Lab and get dressed before I head back down to the hospital wing."

"Yeah sure," mumbled Eluard as he placed a soft peck on her lips before she got up.

"Oh and Eluard?" she called just as she was about to grab the door handle.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you, for everything."

But just as she was about to open the door, it opened from the other side and an angry Brooke charge in.

"What did you do to my Jazzy bear?!" she screamed.

Eluard yelped and quickly changed back before she could see him.

"B-Brooke! It's not what it looks like! I swear!" defended Jasmine.

"What she said!" agreed Eluard, nodding his head.

"That better be true because if I'm a virgin so are you! You're coming with me!" she yelled as she grabbed Jasmine by the arm.

Jasmine sent an apologetic smile at Eluard before she was dragged out of the room.

"Brooke what's wrong?" asked Jasmine once they were outside.

"Nothing!"

"Brooke..."

Brooke stopped walking and sighed.

"I just had one of the worst mornings ever and I wanted to rant to my bestie/roomie about it only to discover she had hooked up with Ellie over there!" fumed Brooke.

"Brooke let's talk about this in the Jordan Lab after I've showered, okay? People are staring and I'm pretty sure Eluard can still hear us."

Brooke muttered an 'okay' and began walking again.

The two sat down on Brooke's bed as soon as Jasmine was done getting ready.
