JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxpYbxQLxy
He's shaking underneath my grasp.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7EjToTl1m
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcojv0CmIyK
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgPpBQQljK
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfpR1U7QM3
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33epEeMY30
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OdKJRL3jQ
I smile bitterly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwQtGzuXhz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGAQtbz3Tr
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmio8tK1yr
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNhDzRmX0Q
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq11y86Mfy4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsJ1xNKvzT
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv42Z29OST
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO8G9R7kO5
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEYAATNVFA
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndMSs1h4Tb
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JzXLxhuIB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCQusyJpvz
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5SVyAhuO2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIujeRq7ZX
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwDTIHxt5D
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry7zdTM2nY
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECf8HePw7W
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLfhTugxOi
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjeWOVHYcM
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvDqxSOPy8
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLfLb6gcoi
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm9e7JRirI
I must at all cost keep him awake.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oBlZyoTwf
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKThGR3lAi
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsPUF6HMTR
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96mbLhdwj
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4CuJRBcFW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWzYr0Jqhz
"Not that long baby I promise."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNqhiLDfZO
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSy78tsDwV
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQjS89K7V0
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiUaL7yU0U
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNk46GDoVv
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50VixUSFfp
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVIZMUmnN
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfPIyzfpil
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxr1YBjlza
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0vwNLsFeO
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pl3yUyzGH
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9552tk3hno
I frown at him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfRQsQCWTf
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPszltc3Kb
"Don't say that."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnKTtGCCxK
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZSwOlBBro
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTO8ZXWhsm
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5aPWc88dx
I gasp.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWd4hgNRHj
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnWLpEeTze
"Jere stop!"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrzHgdWCko
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfDCEeMtf6
He goes on.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xHll6jXOj
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3c0XqRAtG
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHryII2Th8m
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfr8SZWM6J
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6L5IDgvD7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtW9HMZbdi
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMLB44T1r
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcM4ZmbpR4
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGhSOuHQve
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKflnxlZWDq
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz0QAs0U41
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohh1N1YjHl
"I won't."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5RgyVYqqT
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm6DpgVoPq
He obeys, watching me soberly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKiV5U5Kfk
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSUbt638oY
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxDkF7ZbSP
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdCe6VuGbc
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe2Crjc8o3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfoyQwnhsl
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nv8fjYpUm
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxUIlBSi4X
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE0117p3sS
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyE8Q54RqC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtwWYtd7oZ
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFVPnearle
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33OfWbu5Nv
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqLewW1OqL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4waOnO2uZ
He tries to nod but he can't.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciOiwiqKPs
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJsQtLmSYX
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtGMquJP0e
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBqx6InF10
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqnms9lfT
He looks up into mine.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvvpToBcmB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5PjXHdCax
"Don't leave me." He whispers.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGBQkC42KU
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ZQh4cuea
"Stay awake." I tell him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK8pgL5HX6
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW9CWwIn2u
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz8QTNn9yg
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqObfAJO7RH
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Bf8zrDeP
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOmGFQzVkw
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ7CvU5MHV
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplWjSbrbHG
He doesn't reply.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9fTJLpztO
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNYERt3duO
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QTGXJWpRK
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgvtqslgkz
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGPxFgIAWf
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmT02RofGw
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujS56PTC6V
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW36CtB2fhv
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCozv7s4Ak6
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVLOoLTgdG
"Stay awake." I told him softly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQZI4yqAVH
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EeEvNydFm
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttDYfmhzAW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0kbIbJBQp
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMRsETaBW2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYTwVk1jsI
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvCI1MhiWD
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCWbJ8hTpw
"Kiss me," he repeats.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcGqhSt029
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18aNV1YQvP
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gx0NjRKGV
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTmdnmIgO0
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorags2SAgP
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOkhoPtfom
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGJEEthnA
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ01k3kKOsd
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloFL8B61kz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVOkRVbvGM
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKSU4wZHz9
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57x48k02t
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxQFTxPJhA
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb35IEvjy1
Electricity races through me and lingers.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxEahIKCgP
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgeIF4ucOF
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c5UIjDvux
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PcoDSKWIh
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0249hGwrj
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVMBUWvKTQ
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw43ZBft1w
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9bI9Ad3Ty
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGjORzVfmC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXfHcrfpxz
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCqTDgo8gb
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zJmgmCOaB
"Jeremy?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOS7A9tmTf
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTTzIAUbYr
I shake my head, not believing.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGDdQWZDyc
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwUaedevn
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveD7QzkeuP
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86OVNQnaSC
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhbAvAmppr
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ317CBcQWuK
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvszyAFm6J
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa2sFxH0ye
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMSGDu7k3i
