JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMvyTNCF77
He's shaking underneath my grasp.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Z71JnmXE
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCQPTLaqfT
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ353wgMH3zR
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaAjGRzkWO
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8EmHJawB2
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPBwIvFEgo
I smile bitterly.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBORlwNojmI
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Se1fqQXqq
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpxhltNs7z
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rfAQRntVk
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbzEeqWkqW
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC75ffvhNOW
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsF6QYOkvh
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjIQrcskgt
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIUZHohzaO
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFbxpuCUZp
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1YOu2BIqh
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdScqYhfcNd
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3nxkYCb6a
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34CEa8PlpS
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.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn81fsmvLjM
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKNdifeUAR
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BBucHalYq
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXsVy9mdHH
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry0nGT3pKh
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRKOByJp3K
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EylxtupnM
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMFCEaswf0
I must at all cost keep him awake.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7cPtrxHUT
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNbFSmA3NT
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmnmUXGpFo
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHoaAGZnI
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sZzfTNOZC
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ps9U3dqN
"Not that long baby I promise."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEmOpHqgGe
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpridgCPGQ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp8Hjhm8nx
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvxh6Xuz2g
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEykUXJ3DBQ
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqozqjd981
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEydBc0Y6KA
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMPSFg4NTw
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDRumY8HiF
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufrPGsY25A
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzPSB2bJlx
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRBym5vrk2
I frown at him.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQctC1mWgq
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqzy5rcr4v
"Don't say that."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBZRDfEYSb
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNKKMcgYdU
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn5Cz4b2TU
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tjAcKntUP
I gasp.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo7WmmYCem
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDAC7atgg3
"Jere stop!"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHQkEB5dot
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DYniK734K
He goes on.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wScijOOeW
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgST5lxNBKf
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wnIaVfD2r
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0njb2i1w3
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL7wWEg1H0
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf8CLelwCf
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReQJWfDxrB
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhbsi0coMW
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEuGiOsVWe
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiELy3iv7ES
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxYLXJWJBm
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVRhx2Z0Nz
"I won't."664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kt4ZMnaqN
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8I3LpPUqb
He obeys, watching me soberly.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVe6sKmV2H
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacMWowg1P
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22QdO6ta0U
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTOih6S5uj
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczyuFW6tk
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzht4L6Ovku
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7cWbSPEYB
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVP6oPnuEx
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90FlIi1GGh
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Fv0VSsHG
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R0GnmBqVc
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD2V8Xo3CU
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQmE614hLR
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rLjqVlEtN
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw1t3u1nzb
He tries to nod but he can't.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefALBlMLZJ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHB49TK5Ij
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7TdGJ2udd
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41QJIcAkmn
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP2DDcQZiH
He looks up into mine.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSxA4ASqek
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmjdxD8jG0
"Don't leave me." He whispers.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9aWDW0ABM
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cOkU7zi1r
"Stay awake." I tell him.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCp31UdLVU
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHv5FzlgGU
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP12HTbJnBu
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s01XGX049
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcF89Q27IB
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRDJD2Oj7U
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BzS9AWC2P
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbF8DCRuzA
He doesn't reply.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wQ6IcOLdk
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVVii6SGsh
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQADkshxno
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmChBGAJ2V
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf0sLWoxUK
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCAFihntdt
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsISnSQzxXE
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVX7ZTP5TP
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WtdJly11f
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EEZO3nqPU
"Stay awake." I told him softly.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNAvUgZ3ol
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa3hxZlhtC
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGn9rGEMGv
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbaqSFJC2u
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1aESVRY7J
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCWP5JWPZI
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HSwdmobnr
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRydQ2JwUq
"Kiss me," he repeats.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTMBnIA3ep
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D0lYyknyQ
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyzs6ksykd
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboIbcikri1
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAubPyDqzhd
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPPI3aEJ79
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vJ62fgUqj
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgoiHMvPSp
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB9syTzDUD
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvb1WPRkZk
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGwNmTkDO7
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71AIezA6W
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHetOeujaco
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDWbIIjsK
Electricity races through me and lingers.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9HnTwdwA2
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKIi0qQNPH
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts5xJKxMKx
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8zquFIOz6
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQj49OrnZr
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2kmG4XHcc
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJc21EqNg
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsM2KzmYxz
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hxOHz9u4U
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoQO6ZCyM6
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXclRSmAaI6
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvSvElntiK
"Jeremy?"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytNsRYNn3Z
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfa9DXyYP8
I shake my head, not believing.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYv9FGmOIs
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcBD2HPDHn
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4GcCwoJHZ
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyJPgJpCGA
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkJ3jHLG7H
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBrt0SRqap
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhmw5IIQfh
664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSMLeYAs47
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 664Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz4B0GUgZo
