Jason's P.O.V.

They pulled me out of Layla's hospital room. I felt my heart pound. Tyler took a seat next to me. "It's okay dude. She'll be okay."

I buried my face in my hands. "I just wish there was something I could do for her." I whispered.

I looked up. Mitch was staring at me. His eyes were filled with a hidden rage.

Tyler's P.O.V. 

Jason sat down. He looked so broken. What had Layla said to him?

I tried to assure him but he didn't listen.

Mitch was giving him the eye. 

Liv took a seat next to me. I flinched slightly. "Tyler I'm really sorry." she said. I looked at her. "Okay?" I said acting bored. Did she really think I cared?

"I'm so sorry. I shoud've believed you. It's just, this was kind of  the second time she did that." Liv said softly.

"What do you mean?"

"Back when we- I mean first met Mitch. I liked him. I had a fangirl crush on him. But he liked Layla." 

I noticed how she had specifically said not we.

"At a party, I kissed him. Then she started dating Mitch." 

"I was so mad. But I forgave her." Liv said.

She continued.

"And then when she took you away from me I just felt so mad." 

I looked at her. She had tears glimmering in her eyes. I forced a smile. 

"It's alright." 

"I know you don't forgive me. I can see it in your eyes."

Liv smiled. I remembered why I liked her so much. 

"I forgive you." I said smiling for real this time. 

"And now you actually do." 

I gave her a hug. 

We pulled away from each other. 

Mitch was staring at us sadly.

"He really does love Layla." Liv whispered.

"But so does Jason." I said.

She smiled. "She has choices to make." 

"What do you mean by choices? Doesn't she only have decide between Jason and Mitch?" 

Liv gave me a look. "Mitch and Layla have history. A lot of history."

"That's what Jason said in the car on the way to the hospital." I said.

Liv's eyes widened.

"She told Jason?" she asked.

"What are you guys all talking about? About some sort of secret or something?" I asked.

"Layla has a broken past with Mitch. He just doesn't remember. And she won't tell him because she needs to protect him for some reason."

I sighed. "So she told Jason, not Mitch about her childhood." I said slowly.

"But the only reason why she didn't tell Mitch is because she wants to protect him for some reason." Liv said quietly. 

The nurse walked up to us. 

"I'm sorry, but we can't find a donor. We can't do anything for Layla."

Jason looked crushed.
