"What day is it?" I ask.
"I believe it's a Tuesday" he replies.
Tuesday.
(Refer to chapter one)
I smile.
"Why are you smiling?" he blushes and laughs nervously.
"I just met you and I'm already falling in love with you" I blurt out. My hand immediately smacks over my mouth and I blush harshly.
He chuckles, taking my hand and kissing it. "I would be heartbroken if you weren't"

Jay's POV.
He's been in there for a while..
I can hear her soft giggles. Those were the giggles I heard whenever I made her laugh. Those giggles should be for me, not him.
I know he's her true mate, but I love her too. And she loves me. ME.
I can hear her heartbeating fast. Her brain is over flowing with thoughts; her heart filled with love. I remember just a couple months ago, that loving heart was all mine. She gave me all her love, and I gave her all mine. But now that Derek is here and they're finally together.. she's forgoten all about me.
I remember when she did everything in her power to cure me. I was dying and she gave me her blood to save me. From the amount blood that was taken out of her, she should've been lying in bed for a week to heal herself, but instead, she was with me; she was by my side, through thick and thin, sickness and health. I love her. And she too once loved me.
I put my head in my hands, not even trying to refrain my sobbing.

~>>~TWO DAYS LATER~>>~
Layla's POV.
"noononononooooooo" Connor squeals.
"What's that? You wanna go higher? Okay! If that's what you want" Derek chuckles, tossing Connor up into the air. He bends his knees and when he pops back up, he throws Connor up above him and catches him when he falls.
"Nooo" Connor laughs.
Derek and Connor laugh together.
I stand in the back doorway, leaning against the doorframe and watching them with a grin on my face.
It's only been two days and I'm still very weak, but I can stand up by myself. Danny has me eating something and drinking water about every twenty minutes. It's a sweet gesture that he's tyring to help me get better, but it's not doing anything other than making me feel worse.
Drinking all the water is making my stomach full and bloated, eating a bunch is making my stomach sour and my mouth tingle. All I want to do is lay down, watch a good movie, and take a short nap.
Watching Derek play with Connor is a sight for sore eyes. Derek is super sweet and caring and absolutely nothing like Brandon.
But I still cant help but reimagine him dropping the key for me to escape. He was helping me and out of all the times he's looked me in the eyes, I could finally see the good. He has a center of gold but it's covered in rust.
But it doesn't matter.

"Will you just eat it" Dany sighs.
"I don't want to. I feel sick, Dany" I groan.
"Because you need to eat. Please, just a little bit"
My face was pale and I was in a cold sweat. I didn't want to eat anymore, but if it would get him to stop worrying about me momentarily.. I would eat.
I pick up the spoon in the warm soup and bring it to my lips intending to eat it, but as soon as I opened my mouth I proved that I was sick. Vomit flew.
"Jesus" Dany mumbles under his breath and puts the soup bowl onto my bedside table.
I was allowed to sleep in my room, but from what just happened I bet they're going to put me back into the medical room.
Dany rushes to get a towel and cleans it all up. "I'm sorry I forced you to eat. I'm so sorry, Layla" he apologizes over and over.
"It's fine, Dany. But could you please get me a cold cloth for my forehead?" I cough and struggle to keep my eyes open. It felt as if there were a bright light shining in my face, when in reality the only light in my room was the glow from the hallway.
"Of course. I'll- I'll be right back—right back" he nods and swallows hard, looking at me with nervous eyes. He's looking at me like I'm about to explode. He squeezes my arm quickly befre nodding again and running off.
~~~
I woke to a warm hand firmly grasping mine, carressing it in such a manner it could only be one person.
"Jay" I just barely open my eyes, and the flash of blonde hair and blue eyes confirmed it was in fact him.
"Lay" he choked on a sob.
My eyes opened quickly and my eyebrows slanted. He was crying.
"Jay" I whisper, placing my other hand on top of his. "Baby, look at me"
He was shaking. His face was red, I wasn't sure if it was rage or struggle of breath from the crying.
"You're mine. and I can't even protect you anymore" he growls.
"Baby" I try to calm him, but it only seems to make him angrier.
"YOU'RE MINE, DAMMIT" he yells.
His voice cuts right through to my head and makes it pound. I grimace from the pain and he instantly lowers his voice.
"I wanna kill him" he mutters. "I'm gonna kill him. That way.. only I can have you"
He stands and begins walking out of the room. Just as I thought, I'm back in the medical room.
"No, Jay. Stop. Please" I beg.
When he looks back, there are more tears in his eyes. "I can't help it. You're mine, only mine"
He turned away and slammed the door.
