JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXFtVt7ETe
He's shaking underneath my grasp.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7J8KWENMP
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFNfmzl6Gg
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuhME6Gdon
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5yAf2oQoY
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqRsa8JMGB
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzlvmMTwqk
I smile bitterly.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13xSmKhKk
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx06e13WOtX
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9eheetnPo
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m4Jt7kzEU
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35T0JPnzXZ
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudTbBDY0y9
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt31l18IVwX
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCRiBnBYWz
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih7yGAXoAU
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpaYJAyWlQ
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYisl6WM2y
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN2CiDfeni
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9nwgNDC0Y
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8R7ySvWmA
I allow myself to drop my calm charade and panic a little. Jere's forehead is beaded in sweat. The life in his eyes that once blazed brightly is now dark and sullen.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90BGIU3akn
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkHQn1VrKr
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMsCsbCZnw
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCWaxjGRvT
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOiIkIfbTC
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TkAF3ELvU
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AyoyRSaBV
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBSrHLzzaK
I must at all cost keep him awake.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcaEQFg5FQ
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDRsXj8kot
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugxDNpaUD3
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdAlgRDO5q
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgOzdlCCjx
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aznX4TNAp
"Not that long baby I promise."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFIhImOAiv
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbDN29zQFc
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8BDlcayg9
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRwmqbt1iS
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxTTNKnMIn
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4cvo4nHb4
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N4H9ahXfs
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiQwx1TJmT
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyclblWSPK
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq2uCau2A2
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7wzjK7DeZ
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCh3sUOHq7
I frown at him.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMpaqWl18p
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqMzGEjvUk
"Don't say that."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf74H5eQk6
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTucbAsWEij
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqYqrtrNhG
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQiQWZ1MtF
I gasp.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvaqQ7ZgoF
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd1aF7YpHx
"Jere stop!"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14DVgzPpvg
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0xEZds5N
He goes on.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68fPQesBy9
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeEs47oDev
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlinBQ2LgIo
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDrxAWduOm
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPF4CGKcyw
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvXFgFxKNz
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegqNJ21dov
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdjAolTukl
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xbHkEwMaq
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXpLhqxZK6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7clFd7Qlv
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXJxBwlBf8
"I won't."682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmJHZSDwsh
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyxNzPGow0
He obeys, watching me soberly.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGGo6l0HX
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyN9MbHh6E
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9fEYdhvtQ
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDiGRsDgMP
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMchYEMUCS
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr11uVDrv0J
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEeFQyf1v4
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sUg6F7qwP
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJjeFhUfCT
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t948Kp7Od
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoxMCTjCqs
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCI52NzhsA
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlOBMsSWPd
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFeqMAn8WV
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FMDEYc9oT
He tries to nod but he can't.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3UQLt9YHE
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67YJsZYLPN
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn58POPWUQ
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYog6f5be2G
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGRp4J8qtv
He looks up into mine.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo4MwqJjS7
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xh3AfeBzL
"Don't leave me." He whispers.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGczQ1a0LqB
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6q9A4AjTM
"Stay awake." I tell him.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOnf3fAwmX
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCqC1axhTQ
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Y8TEnQfd
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU88V0Jvro
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBmRWwz4yl
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2MeWrjBvO
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yM8sjb2V8
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Sgmq4SYq
He doesn't reply.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuCgeGDDoK
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6qelXIeOM
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbOfOLwyl
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5XQ6XBIaL
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mF9frJK4
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwpx7kZAyU
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kOJoHbfJ4
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g5gjjrkzw
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElvsRo5QNm
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqdYK2fu1x
"Stay awake." I told him softly.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HEDh7Q5yF
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNFcwaXpzZ
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrrmQHtg7
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt4s5RMeXn
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtelS8Oqk4b
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKaTtdhlnb
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7eZHpSz2H
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqAXa1ITdg
"Kiss me," he repeats.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSbIBT1zxA
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBbpjkW9vT
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuoihjxWo8
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjt5oKK2R2
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlU04MDGOF
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rxspAlR6z
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf6VdMd8Oe
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5TpqW2MsE
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdrw1DiPsp
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt1RyfF6YL
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTulEx9KrU0
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuC1ad29Al
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvUJRkvty6
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEBBlyA9JR
Electricity races through me and lingers.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3tQR66IHm
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7aeNhWwKe
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdlRpKPVFB
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSGurtkvtk
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrwt0mql8l
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23cPwlirks
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVVJtgDyIH
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BZijeNyiR
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE43HSh2c8K
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYamiqfFJ7W
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLVgmfd1V9
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn2qE8YJPd
"Jeremy?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35odlqMaE1
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMNpOcI8Me
I shake my head, not believing.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsM8bLJut7
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB44kv6FhqD
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKFW2CmAym
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aAx9dLnuD
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgAv9ksFfG
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hfDsIKPnS
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oLpmwW2xN
682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELUaGkswVc
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 682Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEvibGD3KP
