A/N Hi again! This story is my view on what would happen if Jake was actually dying because of the curse on the Blake's and Conant's. (Secret Circle)

Cassie woke up gasping. Tears were making her blond hair stick to her face. Realizing she was still in the Abandon House, she got up to check on Jake. The rest of the circle had left… accept Adam.

I hope the elixir worked Cassie thought to herself silently.

Cassie hated herself for giving into her uncontrollable love and desire for Adam. Not only would it ruin her only true friendship with Diana, but Jake is dying because of her. She wouldn't be able to stand it. It's Jake! He makes her feel safe and warm. She won't be able to stand it when he dies, especially if it's because of her mistake.

What about Adam her mind asked, you still love him.

Cassie's love for Adam was completely different. Her love for him was uncontrollable and just there. There isn't any REAL reason behind it. With Adam all she felt was desire and a love that she wasn't sure how it came to be. She wanted to be near him. But most of the time, it feels right.

When Cassie reached the room Jake was staying in upstairs, she heard a heart-wrenching cough. Running into the room she saw Jake. Her heart fluttered a little at seeing him. Then she looked closer. He was sweating in gallons and was extremely pale,

"Cassie?" Jake moaned.

"I'm right here." She replied.

"Come here," he patted the spot next to him and tried to smile.

Cassie sat down on the side of the bed carefully. Jake grabbed Cassie's hand and held it tight. He shivered.

"Cassie, I love you. Deep down, you really do know it should be you and me together. Not you and him."

"I know," a tear slid down her face "I love you too Jake."

"Can I hold you…One more time?" He whispered brokenly.

Cassie lay down next to Jake, her blue eyes staring into his. He put his arm around her and pilled her closer. After kissing her forehead, he managed to whisper:

"Cassie, I'm really tired. Do you mind if I sleep?

"Go ahead Jake." Cassie's eyes began to fill with tears.

"Will you stay with me?" Jake looked so worn down and beaten.

"I love you. I will always be with you. I will never leave" Cassie managed not to sob.

Jakes eyes fluttered close. His breath that became slower and slower finally stopped in a long sigh. Cassie couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She clung to Jake, tears pouring down her face. Cassie closed her eyes tight, and gave into her sorrows.

A/N How was it? Should I continue it? Review to let me know!
