JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEX9MA5a4V
He's shaking underneath my grasp.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71bXPEqeF1
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBPXDaetUQ
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerzn3GJZaL
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUigwNm5mux
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuWjBAl0bQ
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz51hUkw65
I smile bitterly.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCU0U54Eow
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlDDj17s3
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZzoVKnfYa
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4ovEEao1
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ6IDq6mGE
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P9DCAz5cn
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs1UkXonqn
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XA67u06mt
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1weU1JlBC1
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBb7jKN1li
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbEkYztTu
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMKQbBTes2
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Aj2BYLnS
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb8LVQuTAW
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3897CimSA
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBLyrQmbuA
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvJLlDnJEJ
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK3xNV3nsI
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPT7fl9dyE
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6s6RBr1ma
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9OK3miKfu
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnHJ2MDNj9
I must at all cost keep him awake.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFATdnImDA
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt99I4MF5Fp
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBwzSjBQwj
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxcP7FF51F
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu3sBtLGS1
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlv42PrmKr
"Not that long baby I promise."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ziQEhZ6hV
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGAbpOQlkx
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcbr2T5tR5
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRxXKWrMjt
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7IA7ussD9
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DOrKBjuHt
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ518Wzv6F7G
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLaJtzXjKS
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bst8Uy6sn
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoTmOp3SCe
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSeWYr6aVn
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzADM5m29b
I frown at him.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLAl0mFbXD
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDHJP5vwQr
"Don't say that."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioLrhVmBnp
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPTU6Oh6qc
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJllbAlZF
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0g0MdlZYq
I gasp.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzIdUV1wdT
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBV2SRtu9Y
"Jere stop!"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKonBEU61ch
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjDGnJBBn
He goes on.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rukNuE4ek
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcuK8Y5twu
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuZUsmfd5D
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtmmNiV5wz
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbplUdD0JI5
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH81geXmG2
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUjsRroEOa
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYelsk5zv2
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0nIiAnV6N
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XcvjMRk2
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X8qt4DJ7u
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVR32U5Xbe
"I won't."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EsYOwsjR6
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTaRzoz50X
He obeys, watching me soberly.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ODTyKcEO
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0YuizBfdc
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsHd1ce2yh
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVECi03XUq
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlorjEgKKHW
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYppycutej
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt0ha4PHuL
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptKF6hvZwp
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf87hNDwLU
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcF8M18PwL
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9t844GVoP
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNO1bg6340
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIlxy7nIDL
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqoFdnqxYS
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZarg5sFC2
He tries to nod but he can't.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaRxukTK4D
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQf5HIXvOR
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9wbttB9tP
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwma9HunYsm
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49rVJJwWw
He looks up into mine.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcfndK1Q0w
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigcINapqUn
"Don't leave me." He whispers.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pQD1fn8YD
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGfSSS6kEH
"Stay awake." I tell him.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TkGEEMa0B
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBrqU0lXZP
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVGxhpSL6e
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMSQKHTn2r
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1DnQLxtV3
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehjzX3rBcA
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnqk5sDrCM
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN99N64ciP
He doesn't reply.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cYYzpDJZT
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhGETwE7Yy
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9e8IJCyA7
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz5VGFQaPm
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnrYF6X1PF
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZtCvLSDCH
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFWEml78Eh
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pudqkn5LJ
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIlB8P60GS
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwSqXc2qly
"Stay awake." I told him softly.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtmytvsa6B
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukO7L4zj9Z
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubI3pDy0W0
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIDRPqN8VI
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdToSP4mFmh
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem60Ezf00N
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMDidBSZzL
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqTrM0XAT6
"Kiss me," he repeats.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXpFepvUBF
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWufN5FVdI
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqvn5qJtoK
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWMCbWn7sV
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT5pkSlgLV
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOTXbMkgpF
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTCYwEiL4k
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEoAZIxoYJ
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonIsONmt8p
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqeHPQWqHK
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNo2nLlxFc
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3Chk7k97
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeLTeOjCLs
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXBh0sITSc
Electricity races through me and lingers.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQYv7PffH
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi208nRRkfJ
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSUDl6S7CF
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZdmqUNhr
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKTguyf2Cu
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFrqLQXjMd
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDS3GPt81C
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbPlB1Ku9h
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGNr0VXsY
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUHhuVshEP
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGlHwcJ2ye
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetG9EFcUa5
"Jeremy?"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jUz8QZQyt
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82iPHKRTYb
I shake my head, not believing.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI4KKipeJw
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPWHgU9qF4
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hn0Y9K39E
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOWB0IGzvp
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eNOZtAsCA
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOJ6M9MVZ
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJqssnYVZm
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnqFy8fuhp
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qLXP1sMKi
