Jay's POV.

Layla had happy tears streaming down her face as she squeezes my hand. "you're giong to be okay!" she squeals. 

i plaster a fake painful smile on my face. "yeah" i say weakly, attemting a chuckle. 

"dany. can i talk to you for a minute" i say. i looka t layla. "alone"

she nods her head and leaves the room, making sure to close the door behind her.

"what is it?" dany asks.

"what's the cure?" 

i could see his face when he said there was a cure. he looked happy but there was pain in his eyes.

he sighs and licks his lips, looking at the ground. he lightly bites at his bottom lips as he looks at me. 

"it's the only way you'll survive this" he says choking on his words.

"what is it!"

he takes a minute. "the only thing that can cure a vampire bite.. is vampire blood"

"what?"

"you have to drink it"

"but how will we get it?"

he swallows and takes a deep breath. "we have a hybrid in the house" 

"no. absolutely not"

"it's the only way jay!"

"i am not drinking layla's blood to survive!"

"you think i want you to?" he sighs. "you only need a pint. a leter is best, but i know you won't do that"

"i can't hurt her. i can't drink her blood"

"but jay-"

"is it possible to have two mates?"

"this again?"

"i know she's derek's mate.. but i feel something. she's mine too. she has to be"

"it's not possible" he shakes his head.

"but what if it is?" 

"jay-"

"i almost had my answer before you rudely barged in"

"i knew a cure! i wasn't just going to wait outside while i had the thing to save you. you will drink her blood and that's the end of it" he turns and storms out of the room.

layla comes back in and sits next to me on the bed. "what was that all about?" she asks.

"he told me what the cure was" i say sadly.

she bolts up and claps her hands. "what is it?"

i shake my head. "i''m not doing it"

"what is it?" she asks again, less enthusiastic.

"it doesn't matter. i'm not diong it, okay?"

"but jay, if there a cure-"

"no. i'm not doing it!"

by the strained look on her face i could tell she was holding back tears.

she walks out, but stops at the door frame.

she turns around and looks me in the eyes. "why?"

"because i can't hurt the one i love"

she nods and lets out a shaky breath, and walks away.
