Default Jumping a single porchlight switch from a 2 way hall switch

"I got
the extra white going to the back hole on the neg," The white wire on the
switch is NOT a neg or neutral

ok, i gotta get this in before game time..lol dad is in Iowa..I'm in
NC.
I got a hot jump ( extra wire from back hole to back hole) going from
the black screw to the hot on the single. (via the back holes) I got
the extra white going to the back hole on the neg, and the neg
connected from the porch connected to the neg screw on the switch. (
this is in the front, I'll worry about slim later..he always sucked
anyway...lol) I have tried the hot (positive) from both of the black
wires, neither works.
