JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DsZp2Iwun
He's shaking underneath my grasp.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO3TJ68WRo
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjufBVFtBNW
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifOfX7XIa2
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzsySAgwU
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFM54B9peJ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYEZxSuszv
I smile bitterly.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PHxcEQhEk
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fFwwZU8Y1
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RoMz8GOHS
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PEDqV4KLj
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktn3MoQSQc
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHBnDOlHfh
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh0UB7MUbO
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GMBC06kot
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwu7lnIp4M
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pChCFvBiI
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCyFkkNlrs
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYpEPoDx2g
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVmmuoXqeS
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwCuoW0ess
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.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI7ccmFxrZ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hgM8eClrU
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIvfif3lCL
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhitGz97end
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXEXANmW2G
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKm79sQZ3O
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwiAybcW38
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkVK6JlvGA
I must at all cost keep him awake.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfSNWz3pWz
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHouSrOuC7
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRRlksT5re
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFCsH2Ba2a
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2PAbT6Gb
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn3r5uxJXp
"Not that long baby I promise."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U0GC41aqU
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIPmLW2nuI
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6DNwC6HRF
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTqiVZHoES
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6hP5JSfav
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkRmLUXmLu
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojnhNOkkuC
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGuAvSgBfh
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSB3SiVJ76
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIHkOODdGg
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLXHsTrDfW
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWXbnDZ81l
I frown at him.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mjvnyPto2
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CFkD7iys4
"Don't say that."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt3ZrrJGrn
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9q7NrTXpu
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe4WpuiMqt
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEzr3V1FZm
I gasp.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGSLxFRKsJ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhFBBneD5v
"Jere stop!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp7ceiVFJm
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLp54mJlqX
He goes on.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcd7dud92b
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Xa0kApmd
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSnFCzyNGr
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeqVvi7KYh
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6tRFbYnpk
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfugeBZjiCo
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9FPNWCJJG
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBegzfR4HN
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xJsZjnmXa
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6tzbHPE0e
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN08SAeH2sd
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNXGltk3mD
"I won't."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon9NORV7Sp
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwHyGy7fzO
He obeys, watching me soberly.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FXkri3pW3
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQb6w3mJeX
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24L0VnBUQf
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOdx9xWGGa
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO7udyuDUc
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbaCpTSXRL
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21XB443bFi
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMyo3Yym4w
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkJ8Pps3Rv
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4js04sxBL7
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExzriIArdN
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQdQNDOOpJ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJSj1ch4q
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3L6yCv6CS
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgw5QvlnaV
He tries to nod but he can't.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodk8peW8tK
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScWxKY05oa
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKopEZd0v5M
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fxDjoCuQL
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VBaWfiiy7
He looks up into mine.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHl8C3rRxS
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0WJLaMpuW
"Don't leave me." He whispers.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbhi5WnS2j
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrszPi4s2yJ
"Stay awake." I tell him.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEukvvvo5G
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwSX6Z1TuQ
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLO5LA4riI
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJlR1Iroz5
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpQLSJps1z
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gq5ytMof4
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXSAHEj4ln
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJncgBdJiBi
He doesn't reply.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuJsof7OyE
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LkCMk7t4m
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirWAWgu4Yx
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwxqoe3Nxx
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsPqUsKCWS
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPz7qhg2ui
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NcbYXiWMW
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRf5zmYxE
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONPrceiE7k
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlfGVERowN
"Stay awake." I told him softly.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoESj64kOhy
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K2JsNRz7u
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx4df5DS0x
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpZqX3ghjZ
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd6mNBwxAy
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSwolc3U0w
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Wb9WvEoY
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta9Kf7Mq72
"Kiss me," he repeats.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvZXU1g1uX
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7WwzEHL46
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMPjvJP2O9
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6CnznVQoA
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp7wrXApYJ
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGeFDf4YkB
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPqsEvka9l
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8vgWltFgO
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIWXpuHH4v
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyg2I8oxWT
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj27gNYRgE
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAxuFWf6lT
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0uSX2P774
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LyQsw2GgH
Electricity races through me and lingers.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHQueS7tOv
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChSVwtBUtC
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27myxPNn0D
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0eyxdrrME
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotIbaWvWfv
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbQXNgpD08
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWOk7RJlHv
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0aDotX6lO
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWhlQgCojY
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIr6w7FfeW
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7BLuOlKAt
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUnpA9haxJ
"Jeremy?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Vr3HwbVx
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Dx49Kyyz
I shake my head, not believing.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVpVnOIXv8
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Azs6r6pdZ
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW5LcZKiYt
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1uYAeTGEA
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyAFBbGEQg
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDGqf32Y8D
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL4tK2QmXN
632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2qNAPQy1D
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalBi0MUMQh
