JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBSMMpLKDz
He's shaking underneath my grasp.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0g85C1zH5
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRBuSc9Urn
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj54DmnCzq
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo67R3CuMR2
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQmCKr6xXo
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7on38do9I
I smile bitterly.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV7yNjK4nz
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpNRPRGGyG
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFp5tOfctF
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpd30DgdzD
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnuN9XOfWY
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cHfImSQOf
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyz7zIGufN
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwYig7VWUU
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ukX3tdXkN
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPTICEuieI
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNumuFZYl3
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK43ukPvMCe
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnOuOuwy2V
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaUeotNxse
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3L8tIVctx
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw6FNdBwwA
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9VccMN5S4
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74mbjz9F85
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSK0teehnr
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf3pdrABfZ
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ITVt5R8xm
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeCqjso1Md
I must at all cost keep him awake.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBedbjEPE2
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqEujEzV0z
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgTg2bWs06
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3fIKyzYmR
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05gVgd8nF4
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6IOufnYjv
"Not that long baby I promise."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChRHdMa6Ke
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp04cCIBc4J
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs0PtfTZW5
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuMbr1M9Oz
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcUseSSuH6
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLbL1WvCj
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWJzJR2EyR
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7gao8uWPt
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIn2PT07G9
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDndDwnM20
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Eh4YD9Ltd
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGvCivZ4a
I frown at him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ODLOBIqW
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQogDQJhnN
"Don't say that."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90BtLl4vhb
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf3yUX7Tdp
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uFrpcG5py
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnw5Irxli9
I gasp.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhDXhBUdyk
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiYY9rJBly
"Jere stop!"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T7I8kdyXF
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnknomN9uOx
He goes on.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjJqsv7NGh
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVdKmVpLos
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxdBlAly2b
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SMINhrZUi
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelJK4I4zH3
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKGVNaiu2L
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xwvviDbV5
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUolCjm2me
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgLnBZMnLu
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBQ2i6YdbE
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDwp7Ckmn
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCC2Jgzdl0
"I won't."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V4b3FcFrv
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMskSqLfBva
He obeys, watching me soberly.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMwq35dQEP
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnetDiODfgC
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRnZuvBak
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ASXRvo0H
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9klZFcgbd
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybqvumYi11
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVkPGiA7IA
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHshmRvl1M4
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieGd8SnAyK
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgpZygUCzX
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpRKWTif2v
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UYLQY7wP4
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInfqWV4P7
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvrAXOQoMM
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk7azrP3uV
He tries to nod but he can't.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sLHKSNpUZ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJfej2h33
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJDeKGD9XG
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQoGzaMCAi
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QNlqaZQ9m
He looks up into mine.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFYkZTf5Q4
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXweWSLbym
"Don't leave me." He whispers.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfZkJZGWdw
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDvzMwVZEj
"Stay awake." I tell him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QbSERYJ2s
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWQd9p7HTi
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNWvQZxBcX
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmobBqmeF4
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZvKjBq2kv
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25dT5SM0tM
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhcf3jZdLK
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaLrBPCPEy
He doesn't reply.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqV2BZtfYC
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JKI2eIApr
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6i4EQC7Zh
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WBI82BzJi
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ygfIjXG7W
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eK64P67fr
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp9QEYT6fT
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszYQo7WaoN
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8fhKdftg
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7gG1fJwZQ
"Stay awake." I told him softly.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHuN0SonPN
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp6njCK9jp
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPARUrMNmcT
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGA49VPHFx
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlovMVO1V70
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz4S7Rs9DF
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LeR5JNCmj
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYXzgDtuqv
"Kiss me," he repeats.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGaaTYkKJS
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuvQPn15zD
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH4gDodRoz
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqE0SJLS2F
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCSQs657Fy
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsEd0z1OBz
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5x1S7uB2z
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpvOlDUza
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehl6SVa5e1
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKaBrxBKqW
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAey1ZqZPb
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jQou3KD82
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OptTmiJrg
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6votQCj1J
Electricity races through me and lingers.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSdubChCPJ
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKhHPDgVdz
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj4IwEwuMk
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCX2CHDN33
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgacYvolwH
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9vSzx00pO
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpSWzYqJd
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQV3MghCP
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWQkjs13rx
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUjTmDlMpK
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFJBb3zmb4
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX94VvBfYt
"Jeremy?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP0TulFeon
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns9EcMDaPT
I shake my head, not believing.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtr7lNTlKr
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YrM5sJ57N
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLzJPnBotH
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1fEODzWXG
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASwOrsCIr6
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FNWxuct8o
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDgoMygpaG
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yiQhCUFzy
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXwCdpRo19
