JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.644Please respect copyright.PENANA6jlPmionCp
He's shaking underneath my grasp.644Please respect copyright.PENANAeLk66l3dDG
644Please respect copyright.PENANAzYHH5tKV5E
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.644Please respect copyright.PENANAgG4o8A4zs0
644Please respect copyright.PENANARaJW07X3FC
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.644Please respect copyright.PENANAYnA23zP91l
644Please respect copyright.PENANAubq3VWLVAh
I smile bitterly.644Please respect copyright.PENANAl1hrZvEZoT
644Please respect copyright.PENANAEWWWQqcXd2
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.644Please respect copyright.PENANA46wYV8vCRm
644Please respect copyright.PENANACTcqlQ8TFB
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.644Please respect copyright.PENANAy0xkBfeAuK
644Please respect copyright.PENANACkYimjP4Ul
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.644Please respect copyright.PENANABXqlSA8Agu
644Please respect copyright.PENANAaUXwftfOtx
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."644Please respect copyright.PENANAjBPvuTVAIr
644Please respect copyright.PENANA0u6l2YhkKY
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.644Please respect copyright.PENANAeF4aM0ufpH
644Please respect copyright.PENANAryXcCaNmSm
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.644Please respect copyright.PENANAWr9Oj4VRBH
644Please respect copyright.PENANAjnN0sNVccd
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.644Please respect copyright.PENANA3OFjgVn0tl
644Please respect copyright.PENANA3elL0igwyE
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.644Please respect copyright.PENANAzmEF9DLsOV
644Please respect copyright.PENANAFzkqx0NOMu
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.644Please respect copyright.PENANAURvxxxSOC6
644Please respect copyright.PENANAsirjuJEULa
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.644Please respect copyright.PENANA3oE1wUi432
644Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6wyu19Mjq
I must at all cost keep him awake.644Please respect copyright.PENANAzLMdfnKHN2
644Please respect copyright.PENANAQQHk20M2HY
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"644Please respect copyright.PENANAgi2Gfwssmc
644Please respect copyright.PENANAi9WqsSyJMQ
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.644Please respect copyright.PENANAit0NX5IAq6
644Please respect copyright.PENANADOdIchUHwz
"Not that long baby I promise."644Please respect copyright.PENANAQnqX6n28aA
644Please respect copyright.PENANAzT2bi7T6xA
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.644Please respect copyright.PENANACixPBB954D
644Please respect copyright.PENANA2UF9D8YxSS
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.644Please respect copyright.PENANAYnkdJ1KEEs
644Please respect copyright.PENANAvdfNvPv9Cr
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.644Please respect copyright.PENANAFHZIzNfire
644Please respect copyright.PENANAL6VA0zR7RC
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.644Please respect copyright.PENANAr6SASHyzFC
644Please respect copyright.PENANAHDivFMuwwu
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.644Please respect copyright.PENANAF0efP2DTIy
644Please respect copyright.PENANAXBLVwKWmmL
I frown at him.644Please respect copyright.PENANAxazdXb9ryV
644Please respect copyright.PENANAAD5HkQihGH
"Don't say that."644Please respect copyright.PENANAMNS3fub23Y
644Please respect copyright.PENANA1FgFKrZJFC
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.644Please respect copyright.PENANAn96eSgDVO7
644Please respect copyright.PENANACqUO90FkSo
I gasp.644Please respect copyright.PENANApPTyvNYJ8q
644Please respect copyright.PENANADfLGnLp9m3
"Jere stop!"644Please respect copyright.PENANAV5nUw3XeZT
644Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsrwpcgHO
He goes on.644Please respect copyright.PENANAjewbS19n8T
644Please respect copyright.PENANA3rA4Nj66gx
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.644Please respect copyright.PENANAHeMSH3rWKI
644Please respect copyright.PENANAJQGamda1oQ
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.644Please respect copyright.PENANA8FcxtUZKHH
644Please respect copyright.PENANAKEMvkxIedl
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"644Please respect copyright.PENANAUGqaEG5WL4
644Please respect copyright.PENANAyXUfb2kVZb
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.644Please respect copyright.PENANA6GSVGjKJY3
644Please respect copyright.PENANA4QDKDbuVdR
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.644Please respect copyright.PENANA0kYXDsB6FN
644Please respect copyright.PENANAlwh34BYncR
"I won't."644Please respect copyright.PENANAKq0KGRBN5c
644Please respect copyright.PENANAYVrzZJ5wXm
He obeys, watching me soberly.644Please respect copyright.PENANAGNC1bu9Nd0
644Please respect copyright.PENANAJzwAft1eZz
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.644Please respect copyright.PENANAwJvlC2TEE1
644Please respect copyright.PENANAMXezUTb79o
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.644Please respect copyright.PENANAXh9ulRcyab
644Please respect copyright.PENANAMICo5BV7j6
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.644Please respect copyright.PENANA9F9Oqz8agz
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.644Please respect copyright.PENANAhXT3stvr0r
644Please respect copyright.PENANA1YVE2iTqyX
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.644Please respect copyright.PENANASZeEQYgGCv
644Please respect copyright.PENANAnTlVp2S471
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.644Please respect copyright.PENANAPsIEB27Ssu
644Please respect copyright.PENANALIOAo40DR5
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"644Please respect copyright.PENANAxKmomGybQ1
644Please respect copyright.PENANAN0482E7Lul
He tries to nod but he can't.644Please respect copyright.PENANAhBAGulU49K
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.644Please respect copyright.PENANApQFHbhqIi6
644Please respect copyright.PENANADWCZ0WDFU4
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.644Please respect copyright.PENANAgyPGa3GXEA
644Please respect copyright.PENANAQwcuXZuYlj
He looks up into mine.644Please respect copyright.PENANArBsvq6xJCE
644Please respect copyright.PENANAgqwiZbo9kX
"Don't leave me." He whispers.644Please respect copyright.PENANAHt4MrBN26Z
644Please respect copyright.PENANASXu9jQklUT
"Stay awake." I tell him.644Please respect copyright.PENANA2wHVHb3bPC
644Please respect copyright.PENANA5hW69wt33p
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.644Please respect copyright.PENANAp3Ob4XhfZf
644Please respect copyright.PENANAZIQrUes9HB
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.644Please respect copyright.PENANAmcXUaDXfBj
644Please respect copyright.PENANAK8PdtUAIXC
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"644Please respect copyright.PENANAxuhZPhXleS
644Please respect copyright.PENANALhKXLoPnpP
He doesn't reply.644Please respect copyright.PENANAX0DCpHd4zV
644Please respect copyright.PENANAzTKFzYPKRJ
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.644Please respect copyright.PENANA1zKUtrFclY
644Please respect copyright.PENANA7keHFVAgkO
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.644Please respect copyright.PENANA8iin5P3vDE
644Please respect copyright.PENANAH9AE4sfS3u
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"644Please respect copyright.PENANAoQF8IR2rO1
644Please respect copyright.PENANAXseC7hFDiC
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.644Please respect copyright.PENANA7DU9DMpC9O
644Please respect copyright.PENANAYqAFDLaigp
"Stay awake." I told him softly.644Please respect copyright.PENANAVicraM3uF2
644Please respect copyright.PENANAZBmRtgvQv3
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.644Please respect copyright.PENANAH6rGDRPfRf
644Please respect copyright.PENANAGREFWEKzDJ
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.644Please respect copyright.PENANAThdjxXUiU0
644Please respect copyright.PENANAz30jaoHPwA
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.644Please respect copyright.PENANAE8ZcNgJmqU
644Please respect copyright.PENANA8tMx6UFy1l
"Kiss me," he repeats.644Please respect copyright.PENANAA46mgFBzXz
644Please respect copyright.PENANA042VRDEsd0
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.644Please respect copyright.PENANAQau7wU6X9r
644Please respect copyright.PENANAL9nozzuecy
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.644Please respect copyright.PENANAWrj92J1L0A
644Please respect copyright.PENANAeOIUvxQoaQ
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.644Please respect copyright.PENANABDTYG36Ion
644Please respect copyright.PENANAnNJKguo8dy
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.644Please respect copyright.PENANAV1kznYTukc
644Please respect copyright.PENANAjASt4mV3d7
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.644Please respect copyright.PENANAWyAcirckhq
644Please respect copyright.PENANA9ew1CEIIuo
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.644Please respect copyright.PENANAAq19pTBM6b
644Please respect copyright.PENANAWYmO4VlMdO
Electricity races through me and lingers.644Please respect copyright.PENANAE4R6TeEWle
644Please respect copyright.PENANAubE0A8HPX3
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.644Please respect copyright.PENANA6N66f50knc
644Please respect copyright.PENANARI9KN4p3dy
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.644Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ8If44Fy4
644Please respect copyright.PENANAm38lDzPgEp
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.644Please respect copyright.PENANAiuduXox5GZ
644Please respect copyright.PENANAtPvwG9smXt
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.644Please respect copyright.PENANAfvjFHqsZv7
644Please respect copyright.PENANAQN8MQHKp6T
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.644Please respect copyright.PENANAROHIo2jX7I
644Please respect copyright.PENANABBbIyU1Bng
"Jeremy?"644Please respect copyright.PENANAAhAB7pbGEJ
644Please respect copyright.PENANAdOsLAVpVzG
I shake my head, not believing.644Please respect copyright.PENANAuiRJrbVePy
644Please respect copyright.PENANAPLv20O4MVA
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"644Please respect copyright.PENANAc40nea2PcG
644Please respect copyright.PENANAepdMPHZG3P
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.644Please respect copyright.PENANACQazoR5Dyv
644Please respect copyright.PENANAL3MEl0krI0
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.644Please respect copyright.PENANAb9EuP3OYv3
644Please respect copyright.PENANAzr5vrzDO5p
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 644Please respect copyright.PENANAcLJ1ypRf5p
