Paper Airplanes {Corey Haim}

One~Growing Up

So my mother and father, Lisa and Patrick Swayze, are trying to help me pick a reasonable apartment. Being the overprotective parents they are, they are very picky, but they forget its my home.

I'm a 18 year old actress in LA. Iv been famous since age 7, the year I was adopted. I'm Sarah Jane, they call me SJ for short. I'm "every boys dream girl", they call me. Referring to my beauty. I don't find myself attractive, but my self worth is low as grass.

Texas girls don't belong in LA. I'm a Houston girl, iv been in LA for years and I still don't really like it. Iv made millions of dollars over the years.

My best friend is my cousin Edward Swayze. He's exactly 1 younger. I was born February 14th 1972, he was born February 14th 1973. He's always loved with my family, so I call him my brother.

But, my boyfriend is my whole heart. Corey Ian Haim. We met when we both worked on set of The Lost Boys. Been in love ever since. God, I love him. He is working on his new film, he's the lead, Edward Scissorhands. Johnny Depp couldn't do it so Corey is.

But now, I sit on the floor of my penthouse. Boxes scattered across the room. A knock at the door dragged me out of my image of my house when I finished fixing it.

"Hello you 1950s babe", Corey said as soon as the door opened. I smiled and blushed. Still had a crush on him. "You're precious.", I said and some of my black wavy hair fell to my face. "Can I come in?" Corey asked half bowing. I stepped from the door and ushered him inside.

Corey was dressed in a leather jacket, t shirt and jeans with sneakers. I was in a button up white top with a cute leather skirt of a plain black with converse. Corey had a laid back style while I strived to look my very best. But he is mine and I love him either way. I think, and we've both been told, we are cute together. I'd die without Corey, he's my whole world.

...
2:54 am

Corey and I sat up all night talking. I think being able to talk to someone about anything at anytime is attractive. Like, let's be real, very few people are willing to put up with that.

"Nighty night angelface, love you." Corey said as he left my home. "Love you, sleep tight.", I called after kissing his cheek. And he left for his house.

Now I was alone in my new home. My eyelids got heavy and I went to my bedroom. Put on real pjs and hurried to bed. But could I sleep? No.

What was wrong. I felt like something was....off, wrong. I laid in my bed. Was Corey awake, I wondered. Should I call....no. He needs to sleep. I laid there in my bed for what seemed like forever, then like a answer from above my phone rang. I picked it up.

"Hello, this is Sarah Jane.", I said.
I heard a scuffle and a long silence. Okay, odd. I hung up. I finally decided to call Corey.

"Hello?", he asked sleepily.
"Corey babe. Did you just call?"
"Are you trying to find excuses to call me angel?", he asked joking.
"No, somebody just called and...I don't know. It was weird."
A silence took over, so wondered if Corey fell back asleep.
"Want company?", he asked sounding more awake.
I smiled. "Yes please.", I said like a child. He laughed a little.
"I'll be over in 15.", he said and hung up.

Exactly 14 minutes later Corey was at my door. "I'm early." Corey said as I let him inside. We made a fort (his idea) and nearly drifted to sleep not that we were not trying not to fall asleep. We layed cuddled and under blankets, then the phone rang. "Ill-a get it.", Corey called and went to pick up the phone.

"Hello, who's this?", Corey asked. "Hello?" I went to the phone to see what was up. I put it on speaker--all it was, was breathing. "All right, be that way.", Corey whispered hanging up.

Corey must've saw my worry. "It's nothing. A prank. They just want to talk to a princess that you are.", he said.

"Well that is true.",  I said, "and I'm glad I have you to say that.", I said. "Because im just a princess who needs a prince.", I added joking.

Corey did a overdramatic eye roll. "Let's go back to sleep.", Corey suggested. I nodded and rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand and sleeves like a child. "Yeah.", I said sleepily. Corey smiled and picked my up and carried me back to the fort and put me down bride style. "Night night.", Corey called softly.

"Nighty night night cutie.", I replied huddled under the covers.

...

Sight of the sun nearly blinded me. Morning. I sat up in the fort and looked over at Corey, still sound asleep. "I don't start breathing until ten.", he'd once said to a magazine. And this was true. He avoided getting up early at every and all cost.

I giggled softly at the sight of Corey cuddled up with a stuffed pig that I named "Albert". Corey mumbled something in his sleep. I found the energy to get my day started and went upstairs leaving Corey asleep.

I picked out a nice outfit. A black and white striped tee with a short black skirt with fishnets (Corey called Fishy-nets) and black heeled boots and a denim over shirt I would tie in front.

After putting that together I showed, brushed my teeth, dressed, did my hair and makeup. I skipped down the stairs and Corey was walking up them.
"You're trying to seduce me!", he said pointing at me. "I try", I joked.

"Good morning", he said. "Morning Mr. Haim.", I replied. We shared a sweet morning kiss and he went to shower himself. I went to my kitchen and tried to make breakfast with what little food id bought. I had a to-do list a mile long and that would be placed at the top.

I made bacon, biscuits, eggs and sausage. Minutes later Corey joined me in the kitchen and we sat and ate. Then the phone rang.

I went to pick it up.
"Hello, this is Sarah Jane.", I said and waited for reply.
"SJ, where are you?", Edward asked. I could tell it was Edward because I knew his voice.
"Umm, my place. Why?"
"Look, come over. Something happend to Heather. See ya later.", he said without letting me say a word, then hanging up

Heather was Edward's older sister whom we haven't heard from in months. She and I don't really get a long. But family is family.

"Come on Corey, we gosta go!", I said yanking his arm so he would follow me. "Why? What's wrong?", he asked. "Drive me to my parent's house please babe!", I begged. "Okay, let's go.", he said.

Thus Corey drove me to my parent's house and it didn't bother me Corey was joining my family. I mean, Corey has been around my crazies for 4 years. Nothing new.

We both hurried over to the door and banged on it. Edward and Corey were amazingly good friends.

When the door opened, we both stood there dumbfounded. This was impossible.
