JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhjhhInjtX
He's shaking underneath my grasp.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokhxYx4DH5
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8banzIbetW
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvhjnDPf6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkldxSvxxV
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Mi2L90OB
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpd2kHTOEr
I smile bitterly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu79tbFL7Hr
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxXmDGWfaG
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEIeXbbSWR
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLP0pVaYVf
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ScMR583z7
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR933Zpyix
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yEZYxfQU1
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBmJbwZZJ
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxw7xJXNbk
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3o9v1xIvR
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWxjHiADDo
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmiEkaWP2V
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbNRI12jO2
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEac4yVZtFU
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuArq5SjTp
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBnJ44DZTp
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv1DTaenYu
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bsvoME3RA
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sx7D1cRV5
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcoVwGiaM9
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xeiADsjUW
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEgEpcMvh4
I must at all cost keep him awake.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlp5lwuS2i
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH1JUOYNp9
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d8CrV1GmD
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9rImyrXpH
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDHJG9Wlzh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxc7Kmi1IG
"Not that long baby I promise."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjATPToy39
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6frWSK5cd
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1O4uhhXN6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGObBabgF8
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Fi0l1xrE
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSngGptMaYU
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9f7JPKo13
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmbmQ9MQaS
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV6FaqQ7yt
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFawjsZItvF
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERJ8h9aKon
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguPXL4JGjR
I frown at him.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBab1PFxAc
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIshlMbRcPj
"Don't say that."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eYyFwHR8V
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDVYl5oXJ8
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNQnYFIA0V
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAKWhJj82E
I gasp.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvdcKkrh7R
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR9u5Rbylr
"Jere stop!"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWYR65jy7i
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJXFGuxhDx
He goes on.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dp8sAckul
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY40ecXRy55
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96JmhuOMy6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUL9mjlkRo
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1E9fNPmwi
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakdo5mdbRA
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVdgzNcikE
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOFNmTtWrL
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTOXaN6IwI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgHFaB2c7D
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ278YLnTmpM
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3aDRqiDzE
"I won't."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sKU52tI02
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH4cxEveBn
He obeys, watching me soberly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavHTIjLxOs
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIYFZpdZzG
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoISxGv44c
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxO8AyPWZ0
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp5DwYwft6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo0yHzM0JG
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxbU9PoQ8S
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRwZmOx7Cq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYo5QPEER4
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzIPIu0epM
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL46WkarbgF
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGftlU8jxR9
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3YzJcBqbL
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVES2qEwI7N
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGmMiubDF1
He tries to nod but he can't.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLJ8mTyyyi
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb4ffV0YEh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERctbFyJxn
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEbDEudDqF
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqKBPFXvvz
He looks up into mine.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjssDpLCk4f
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtUjpPnvip
"Don't leave me." He whispers.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsaduWX9JA
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsWaq2BjRK
"Stay awake." I tell him.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLGDOAxzmK
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1rS9M5Un
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRBMDidnWl
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz44hjjIqja
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbOuTRC4QE
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEOlDmisx7
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz31ZCmX6n
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnmdQGIvD1
He doesn't reply.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr8XtpZivU
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7xvV9VRTE
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA4H4nQ8oO
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrrUmjW8sX
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaSI6vOgwy
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjb7kdlUci
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aJ9HErKKJ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxkjZsibgn
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZtvBvwW63
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mKafKPDCY
"Stay awake." I told him softly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8GtjbGvP8
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefZpGPlPko
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoCagwOIwq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ns0s7goiO
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4V1vfo7Vy
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PjMXKSpYn
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk14Ngg64A2
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhneJBVJCk
"Kiss me," he repeats.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsVPjCvvrd
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGwNLPcCjO
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs330n5oCMp
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljIPR7zLwt
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxtjRGvV6o
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRS3krJBup
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvxzfsvZnS
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfWbXiYATn
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocNNQX8iwq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0CtOrqJXC
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCil8Rmct9
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboW10KCsaw
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi21gxuU7p
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzcUBPZi4j
Electricity races through me and lingers.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Fufbq1lI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbyongRWfG
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk54NNQ1Yc
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTeo9cUqKp
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrXASnpHhg
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTcsOAwYog
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvzc6K9Bfl
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RqMsxTMJm
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ahPZxsv3Z
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9suepMcU44
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvWgmezboF
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfbj5QqhOQ
"Jeremy?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxWfrnXczq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWx6ONvC4k
I shake my head, not believing.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiQVFxWYXv
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hQBtzmg4K
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2I31JnKHx
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgH2fIXvUo
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb7MEPkriy
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjVqzl5nV2
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1eq3IEx87
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gTi7epBhV
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjRpOC3XNz
