A/N: So I decided to start using POVs since it's more interesting to know what's in everyone's mind. :D Oh and this chapter might be in a weird format and all bolded because I'm updating from my phone, so I'm sorry about that. I hope you enjoy it, though! :)

Previously on I Don't Want to Love Him, but I Just Do...

-"You know where she's gonna live?" Lyn cut Catheryn off and directed her question to Catheryn's father. "She's gonna live with me," she pointed to herself.

-Sebastian shrugged Monica's hand off and stood up from his bed. He kneeled down next to where she was lying down and looked straight into her eyes. "I will protect you and I will never let that bitch touch you ever again, my love."

-Catheryn caressed her stomach, feeling some type of force reverberating to her, knowing it was all in her head, but also knowing that her baby was calling out to her. She will keep her promised she made earlier; never will she abandon her child like Dominic and her father did to them.

-"Don't make me laugh, Lyn!" Sebastian snickered. "You're pathetic and I'll repeat it over and over again. Wedding's off, Lyn. Good luck being queen of Transylvania now," he laughed and with that, he wrapped his arm around Monica's waist and walked away.

I Don't Want to Love Him, but I Just Do...

Chapter 12

The Cure

~Lyn's POV~

I didn't have the willpower to stay at school to see Sebastian and Monica together. I don't know why I was acting so jealous and so hurt. I hate him for crying out loud! No way were there any mushy feelings anywhere for him! He was the jerk that has bullied me and has made my life hell since I started school. After a couple of lousy kisses, it's as if I've fallen for this jerk.

There was just no way! So why was I feeling this way when I saw that he left me for Monica? Maybe it was because I'm furious with Monica since she took Tom from me first then she took Sebastian from me now? I convinced myself that that's what it was, but I knew it wasn't the truth. The truth is that I did feel something for Sebastian Giracho; something that I can't explain because it didn't make any sense to me. So under all this hate I have for him, there are feelings for him?

'Don't make me laugh, Lyn! You're pathetic, and I'll repeat it over and over again. Wedding's off, Lyn. Good luck being queen of Transylvania now.'

His hurtful words stuck in my head, repeating itself overand over again, having the same stabbing feeling every time I relived it in my head.

How could he do this to me? After he knows everything that happened between Tom and me... Why would he leave me for Monica if he agreed to be my husband? Nothing was clicking; everything made no sense whatsoever.

As I made my way back to my house, I was so furious, so jealous; I wasn't thinking straight. I ran up to my room and I walked directly up to my closest. I opened the sliding door and I grabbed a plastic cover-up hanging from a very hidden spot in the back of my closet. I opened it up and it revealed my wedding dress.

"There's no wedding, right?" I whispered to myself, a tear sliding down my cheek. "Then no wedding it is..." I grabbed the dress and looked at it. What was the point of having this if I wasn't going to get married? I grabbed it from the top. I noticed that a drop of clear liquid had fallen onto it, and I thought: How could rain be falling in my room? Then I touched my face and felt a wet trail.

It was a tear...

I wiped my eyes and tried to act strong and tough. No guy, especially Sebastian, will make me suffer for them again!

I ran over to my window and opened it. I noticed that there was a puddle of mud that had formed because of the rain that fell last night. Perfect, I thought.

I held my wedding dress out the window to drop it right on top of the puddle of mud. But just as I'm about to let it go, I heard someone scream, "Lyn, don't do it!"

I froze, my dress still hanging out the window. What felt like hours later, the person who had screamed at me, snatched the dress out of my hand. I turned to look at that person and notice that it was Catheryn. I had forgotten that she had stayed home from school today because of her whole situation.

"What is the matter with you, Lyn?!" she asked me. "Have you gone crazy? How are you going to throw away your wedding dress away when your wedding is a month from now?" she went to go place it back in the plastic cover-up again.

"What wedding?" I managed to say.

Catheryn scoffed. "Are you really asking that? Your wedding with Sebastian! Hello! Earth to Lyn! What? Someone wipe your memory of everything that's happened in the last two months?"

I was about to explain everything to her, but then I realized that she was still suffering from what happened between her and Dom and her and her parents. She still had puffy eyes from crying; she was just a mess. I wasn't going to bombard her with my problems when she has enough on her plate right now. What kind of friend would I be if I did that to her?

"Oh, right," I lied, "brain fart," I tried to suppress a smile.

There was no use. I was the most terrible liar there was, and Catheryn, since she's known me for so many years, saw right through me. She raised her eyebrow, obviously knowing that something was up.

"You better tell me the truth, Lyn Scar," she crossed her arms and looked at me with serious eyes.

I sighed. "Just worry about yourself and your baby right now, Cat. I don't want you worrying about my problems and stressing you out even more."

"Oh, hell no," Cat stated, "you better tell me what's going on right now! After everything you have done for me, you have all the right to stress me out even more with your problems! We're best friends, Lyn; you can tell me what's going on. I want to help."

There was just no escaping this. I decided to just tell her everything. When I mean everything, I mean everything. What happened in the forest, Sebastian finding my soul vein, Sebastian and me kissing, Sebastian and Monica kissing each other while him and me were on that date, Tom telling me about the aracnidi, how Monica was an aracnidi, how I wanted to make an anti-aracnidi committee, how Jandro turned into a werewolf and almost attacked Sebastian when he found out what he did to me, and, of course, how Sebastian called off the wedding because now he was mysteriously with Monica.

Catheryn just listened; she didn't interrupt me once, except when she said, "Ooh la, la," and giggled when I told her about Sebastian finding my soul vein and how he had kissed me right afterwards. Other than that, she just wanted me to explain everything, tell her every single little thing that's been going on. Once I finished telling her everything, I felt more relieved; I still felt a huge pain in my chest from the whole Sebastian thing, but a lot better once everything was out.

"That little asshole!" Catheryn screamed with rage. "How could he do that to you?! I don't know who's worse, Dominic or Sebastian! And that bitch Monica! No way is she taking my best friend's man again! That spider freak will pay," she was fuming. "He messed with your feelings! He goes and finds your soul vein and kisses you, then he just leaves you for the girl who took your first boyfriend! It's time for payback," she confirmed.

I shook my head, looking down at the ground, holding back the tears again. "It's nothing, Cat... One moment of butterflies doesn't count as anything. Let him be; if he wants to be with Monica, let him be," I wasn't strong enough to hold back the tears, so they just started rolling out without stopping. So much for not suffering over Sebastian ever again... I thought to myself sadly.

"See what he's done to you? We need to figure out what's going on! We'll beat it out of him!"

"Settle down, Cat," I tried to calm her down. We didn't need someone else trying to murder everyone like Jandro. Jandro, I suddenly realized.

"I'll settle down when we kill that bitc-"

I cut her off mid-rant. "Oh, my God, Jandro!"

"Wait, what?" she looked confused. "What about him?"

"Remember? I told you he turned into his werewolf-self and tried to kill Sebastian! He could be in jail for all we know!" I freaked out.

Here I was crying about Sebastian when my best guy friend could be in jail just because he was trying to protect me. Some friend I am... I cursed at myself, feeling guilty. It was illegal to transform into a werewolf in a public place because it puts everyone in danger, plus he was trying to kill Sebastian, too. Doesn't really good on Jandro's part.

I grabbed my cell phone and quickly dialed his number. After the fourth ring I was getting even more worried. He wasn't answering, and he always answers. I immediately started to run down the stairs and out the front door.

"Where are we going?" Catheryn followed behind me, still confused.

"Transylvanian Jailhouse."

~Demi's POV~

"There's something wrong with Sebastian," I heard Ali say to her boyfriend, Adam, in the distance as I didn't pay attention and noticed that Ethan wasn't in class today.

He's always in class, I thought to myself, frowning.

Ali, Liv, Adam, and I were in study hall, trying to figure out what was going on with Sebastian. We knew Sebastian was a jerk, but whether her was a jerk or not, he always kept his promises. Monica did something to him that was making him act this way.

I wasn't paying much attention to what the rest were saying right now, since I was too busy wondering why Ethan wasn't in class today. He was acting really strange. First, I see him walking out of that abandoned building, and now, he was breaking his perfect attendance streak? I had to find out what he was doing in that building. No sane person would go into a building filled with dead body parts just because.

"Demi," I broke out of my reverie as I heard Ali call my name.

''Yes?" I asked, clearing my throat, coming back to the present situation.

"What do you think is going on with Sebastian?" she asked me.

I shrugged my shoulders, thinking of saying the first thing that popped into my head, so it doesn't seem like I wasn't paying attention. "Maybe a love potion?"

Suddenly everyone's eyes widened. Something had clicked.

"Of course! Why didn't I think of that?" Adam took his potion textbook out of his backpack and flipped through the pages until he found exactly what he was looking for. "Here," he pointed to the paragraph that stated the effects of a love potion, '''a love potion is one of the most powerful potions there are in the wizarding world. One little drop on the tongue and automatically that person falls in love with the person who gave them the love potion. They forget everything that's going on around them and center their world and life to that one person.'"

"It all makes sense!" Ali exclaimed cheerfully.

Wow, not bad, I thought to myself, nodding my head in triumph with a satisfactory smile plastered on my face. One little guess and I was right!

"Yes! We know what's going on! How do we knock him out of the effects of the potion, though?" Ali looked on the page and read aloud the instructions on how to stop the effects of the potion. "'In order to stop the love potion from working, someone else must prove to that person that they love them and not the person that gave them the love potion.'" she frowned. "Huh... does Sebastian love Lyn?"

Liv shook her head. "More like they both hate each other."

"Is there a way we can find out if Sebastian was starting to have feelings for Lyn before Monica messed up everything?" I spoke up, trying to be included in the conversation.

"I'll find out," Adam confirmed.

"How?" Ali asked.

Adam smirked at Ali and gave her a peck on the lips. "The less you know, the better, babe," he kissed her on her forehead before leaving.

"Should I be suspicious?" Ali asked Liv and me.

"Nah," Liv chuckled, "he's the smartest wizard in our school, he can figure this out."

I checked the clock and noticed that the bell was gonna ring. "Um... I'll see you later, guys," I speedily packed up my things, starting to feel very nervous. What if he catches me trying to spy on him? I asked myself, the anxiety starting to kick.

I tried to ignore my stupid worries and walked out of the classroom right when the bell rung. I was determined to find out what Ethan was up to. Why did I care? Well, simple, I like him, there's no doubting that. I don't want to keep liking him if he's a criminal.

I stood outside of the abandoned building. I went around the back, having to clog my nose with my fingers for how bad the smell was. How could anyone stand to be inside that building for more than a second? I asked myself, disgusted. I noticed there was a back door and a window. I look through the window to see if he was in there or not. When I noticed that he wasn't, I opened the door as slowly as possible.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door out towards me, hitting me right on my shoulder, hearing a sudden cracking noise. A pool of warmth spread through my shoulder and I screamed in pain, grabbing onto my shoulder. I pulled up my sleeve and saw that I had a huge open cut that was spewing out blood, plus my shoulder looked as if it was in an odd position.

I felt someone place their hand against my mouth to stop me from screaming. As I look up to see who it is, I catch my breath and realize that it was Ethan. He looked down at me with a panicked expression, scared as if someone was going to hear me and figure out whatever he was doing inside that building.

"Demi!" He yelled at me in a whisper. "What are you doing here?"

I push his hand away from my mouth. "How do you know my name?" my heart started to beat fast because I thought he didn't know I existed.

"We do have classes together," he said as if it was the most obvious thing ever. "Now answer my question!"

"Curiosity?" I smiled innocently.

He raised his eyebrow, not convinced. "You shouldn't be here," he frowned.

"Oh, and you should? Ow..." I groaned as I accidentally moved my arm. I looked at it, suddenly realizing that I was losing too much blood. I started to feel faint. I looked up at Ethan and saw that he was disappearing into the distance, his voice sounding as if it was far away, yelling: "Demi! Demi!" until I saw all blackness.

~Lyn's POV~

Catheryn and I rushed into the jail, pushing through everyone that was in our way. I could just imagine how furious Jandro would be if he was actually locked up in a jail cell right now.

I went up to the front desk, where a cop was seated in a rolling chair with his back faced towards me.

"Excuse me," I said, "has Jandro Pietra been put into jail today?" I had this tinge of hope that he wasn't, but I also had this gut feeling that he was here.

The cop turned around to face me. The cop had this smirk on his face, and my eyes just widened in surprise as I realized that the cop was Tom!

"Tom!" I exclaimed, feeling something drop in my stomach. "You can't be a cop! You're a vampire; werewolves are supposed to be the policemen."

Tom shrugged, the smirk never leaving his face. "They made an exception for me," he shrugged. "I needed money, and better job than the police force? So what brings the beautiful princess of Transylvania to a dirty, dirty place like the jailhouse?"

I couldn't help but blush. Whether I liked it or not, Tom still had that effect on me. Darn his good looks! Wait, what am I here for again? I cursed at myself again as I got lost in Tom's blue eyes. I suddenly remembered Jandro. "Jandro! Is Jandro here?"

He got out this packet filled with names. He looked through it until he got to the page of the inmates that had their last names starting with P.

"Pietra, Jandro, arrested for transforming into a werewolf in front of a public crowd and for the intentions of killing Sebastian Giracho. Awaiting trial for next Tuesday. Almost murdering your fiancee, huh?" he chuckled. "What did he do now?"

I furrowed my eyebrows at him. "None of your business."

"He deserves it, you know. He's always been a jerk to you. You think just because you and him are getting married means that he'll change those feelings of hatred he has towards you?" he snickered. "Just call off the wedding, Lyn. You won't be happy with him, trust me."

I hissed at him, ignoring everything he just told me. "Can I bail out Jandro?" I asked seriously.

He frowned as I hadn't even acknowledged what he said. He looked back down at the paper and nodded his head. "Megabucks, though."

"I don't care," I grabbed my wallet from my purse and gave him a wad of cash. "Get him out of that jail cell," the thought of Jandro behind bars killed me inside.

As soon as I saw Jandro walking towards me, I ran up to him and hugged him as tightly as I could, my head resting on his chest. I felt his hot arms wrap around me and his chin rest on the top of my head. No matter how much his skin temperature was burning me up, I didn't want to let go.

"I can't believe you did that for me," I felt the tears started to spill again. What's with all the crying today? I asked myself. Crying was something I didn't normally do; it made me seem weak. I guess I can't blame myself since I'm in a very weak situation. "You scared me half to death, Pietra!"

He passed his hand through my hair, trying to call me down as I cried into his shirt. "Shh," he tried to comfort me. "I'd do anything to protect you," his hot breath blowing into my ear as he whispered to me. "Thank you for bailing me out," he smiled gratefully at me.

"No, thank you for always being there for me," I looked up at him and gave him a warm smile, sniffling as the tears continued to slide down my face.

He wiped a tear away. No matter how much it looked like Jandro and I might be a couple, we both knew what him and me had was nothing like that. We loved each other, yes, but more like sibling love and nothing more. He is one of the best things that I have in my life and sometimes I feel like I don't deserve him. I don't deserve how much he protects me and cares for me. I was grateful to have someone like him in my life.

"Lyn, I'm not going to let that jerk crush your heart the same way Tom crushed it," he looked me straight in my eyes. "I knew he was bound to do something like this to you. I knew he was going to hurt you in some way; I just didn't think he'd hurt you this badly," his expression softened, almost into a sad one as if he was guilty for not preventing this.

Tom seemed to have heard what Jandro said because he immediately stood up from his rolling chair and walked up toward us. "What do you mean Giracho hurt Lyn the same way I hurt her?"

Jandro looked over at Tom with hatred. He let go of me and got in front of me with his arms crossed across his chest. 'You heard exactly what I said," he growled.

I couldn't help but smile at how overprotective Jandro was being now.

Tom looked at me with a concerned expression. "Giracho left you for Monica?"

Just being reminded about what happened, crushed my insides again. I put on my strong suit and nodded my head. I definitely didn't want to look like I was hurt in front of Tom and Jandro. I didn't want either of them to know that I may have developed some feelings for Sebastian. Who knows how they would react.

Tom exhaled deeply, clenching his fist, and looking furious. "Would you mind if I spoke to Lyn for a moment?"

Jandro wasn't budging as Tom asked him for permission just to not upset him further. Catheryn came and pulled Jandro to the side to let me go and speak with Tom.

"It's okay, Jandro," Catheryn said, "Tom is not going to hurt Lyn." She gave him a threatening look. "You better not."

Tom put his hands up in defeat. "I'm not planning to hurt her ever again."

Jandro nodded. I nodded back at him, reassuring him that I was going to be okay. I definitely didn't deserve to have a friend like Jandro...

I walked into this hallway with Tom, not really wanting to speak with him. After the whole realizing that I did have feelings for Sebastian now, I didn't want to be even more confused since these old feelings for Tom were starting to stir up again. I leaned against the wall as I crossed my arms across my chest and waited for him to start.

"Lyn," he started, "Sebastian's under a love potion."

As I heard these words, I felt as if my day was finally turning sunny and not dark anymore. A sudden relief that I just couldn't explain. How could I have not thought of that? The reason Tom had left me was because Monica had put him under a love potion, too... How could I have been so blind to this fact? It makes so much sense!

A sudden smile crept up on my face, happy to know that Sebastian didn't mean anything he had said or did. At least I hope he didn't...

"The only way to cure someone from a love potion," he continued, kind of looking at me with a puzzled look as the smile formed on my lips when he told me Sebastian was under a love potion, "is to convince that person that they loves you and not the person who gave them the love potion."

"Wait, wh-what?" I stuttered. "Sebastian doesn't love me! How am I supposed to convince him?"

"I have a plan," he smirked.

I gave him an unsure expression. "Do I want to know what this plan is?"

"Do you want Sebastian back?"

I nodded my head slightly.

"Then listen to what I have to say," he commanded.
