I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.611Please respect copyright.PENANAu8LSBF5Tux
He's shaking underneath my grasp.611Please respect copyright.PENANAbvn4zDbKrO
611Please respect copyright.PENANAmZu9Ek7SqL
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.611Please respect copyright.PENANAP5rjJ8PCBu
611Please respect copyright.PENANARCjlxsrMGe
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.611Please respect copyright.PENANAu1qzN5ZOg9
611Please respect copyright.PENANARZpIbxzm9Z
I smile bitterly.611Please respect copyright.PENANAudGdjmuiHu
611Please respect copyright.PENANAYnuBQIqAn2
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.611Please respect copyright.PENANAGM663YGY5w
611Please respect copyright.PENANAFaBi83AlrZ
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.611Please respect copyright.PENANA2p0yOJz2jd
611Please respect copyright.PENANAKjWowr0Ifs
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.611Please respect copyright.PENANAFgy4Ooep52
611Please respect copyright.PENANAhAizyf4yLL
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."611Please respect copyright.PENANAa2S3qinaa5
611Please respect copyright.PENANA9x2UYxC0Nm
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.611Please respect copyright.PENANAzQdgx3DXPR
611Please respect copyright.PENANAfbQuAoqoRz
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.611Please respect copyright.PENANAh8T9seBlyS
611Please respect copyright.PENANAMOZk79Fq8t
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.611Please respect copyright.PENANAMd1JCb6PRR
611Please respect copyright.PENANA7nMYwdxDT3
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.611Please respect copyright.PENANAxbIplgJGtr
611Please respect copyright.PENANAF1JbbUKYhd
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.611Please respect copyright.PENANAnBhsQFwnwf
611Please respect copyright.PENANAcueNbW8wJk
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.611Please respect copyright.PENANAuUSXbHZ9lM
611Please respect copyright.PENANAAYme3xsWgY
I must at all cost keep him awake.611Please respect copyright.PENANAquoHQpC4PU
611Please respect copyright.PENANAl16tcTLQe0
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"611Please respect copyright.PENANAelpIGpn0ZL
611Please respect copyright.PENANAdABSiE8nGB
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.611Please respect copyright.PENANARO2pkZ2qoj
611Please respect copyright.PENANAg9MFS34Beb
"Not that long baby I promise."611Please respect copyright.PENANAcjessvio2k
611Please respect copyright.PENANAF1xTay8weo
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.611Please respect copyright.PENANA9KmtJPBwpo
611Please respect copyright.PENANAPW4simcmUY
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.611Please respect copyright.PENANAfiaGIDMUgD
611Please respect copyright.PENANAk6RdnlFzI8
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.611Please respect copyright.PENANA4CbGBqnvmd
611Please respect copyright.PENANA6LHtd9DuFO
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.611Please respect copyright.PENANAamllIkkcll
611Please respect copyright.PENANALEOU7ACd0F
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.611Please respect copyright.PENANAebx0s7Uiox
611Please respect copyright.PENANAgnG9xZfiNB
I frown at him.611Please respect copyright.PENANAuJWxcR0cdm
611Please respect copyright.PENANA2rb3OW77tp
"Don't say that."611Please respect copyright.PENANAv8aAGcuC5l
611Please respect copyright.PENANASabu0KJ09v
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.611Please respect copyright.PENANAplYUYXCymO
611Please respect copyright.PENANA9ngeADE134
I gasp.611Please respect copyright.PENANAm3vtEBe7S2
611Please respect copyright.PENANAxlVjlt1K3o
"Jere stop!"611Please respect copyright.PENANA0TpMyFCkSa
611Please respect copyright.PENANA6J6nF0xj3U
He goes on.611Please respect copyright.PENANA4HhE01acnr
611Please respect copyright.PENANAyUUDrFqzC7
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.611Please respect copyright.PENANAyESGkiMCvd
611Please respect copyright.PENANARaTBQL8ScY
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.611Please respect copyright.PENANA154HFIQviN
611Please respect copyright.PENANAY45dSYk7t0
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"611Please respect copyright.PENANArMInCYZoNs
611Please respect copyright.PENANAKeZy543lTY
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.611Please respect copyright.PENANA2sw1l8SLwE
611Please respect copyright.PENANAyULYS04rBQ
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.611Please respect copyright.PENANAhuCVbcN6kc
611Please respect copyright.PENANAQm0urCsAul
"I won't."611Please respect copyright.PENANAA46OuFeALA
611Please respect copyright.PENANAPlYOMAsrCf
He obeys, watching me soberly.611Please respect copyright.PENANAhTwDBfn4SD
611Please respect copyright.PENANA2lhf0vprI4
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.611Please respect copyright.PENANAs7ZNJ16jWm
611Please respect copyright.PENANA2u6rBCOpEF
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.611Please respect copyright.PENANA0HZa4LoP8A
611Please respect copyright.PENANAHcN0KOk0VQ
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.611Please respect copyright.PENANAcBQmOpqj4W
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.611Please respect copyright.PENANA8LdlU0D4Mz
611Please respect copyright.PENANAPTRmXwDda0
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.611Please respect copyright.PENANA0zTxa8Mbpt
611Please respect copyright.PENANArkaOWcurDh
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.611Please respect copyright.PENANAD2NszTmqCy
611Please respect copyright.PENANAFv2uWZ9GpT
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"611Please respect copyright.PENANAdT5ZmRUELz
611Please respect copyright.PENANAtoV5TCvBq3
He tries to nod but he can't.611Please respect copyright.PENANAb6sLqzDm7n
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.611Please respect copyright.PENANAqLttHxmfma
611Please respect copyright.PENANACIHpf5CZSs
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.611Please respect copyright.PENANAs7LA3xqH8R
611Please respect copyright.PENANAuHSnyWYhxe
He looks up into mine.611Please respect copyright.PENANAlFdJRzhiWl
611Please respect copyright.PENANArOuEmA6oLi
"Don't leave me." He whispers.611Please respect copyright.PENANAs05h8bPA4j
611Please respect copyright.PENANAvw0rjoMkuK
"Stay awake." I tell him.611Please respect copyright.PENANA4B4qFiDE49
611Please respect copyright.PENANATdh1ZHfbUV
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.611Please respect copyright.PENANAyrAjbNmQkk
611Please respect copyright.PENANA1JwQpRI5bX
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.611Please respect copyright.PENANAsRwd3ataXC
611Please respect copyright.PENANApiUhyMYkYE
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"611Please respect copyright.PENANAf59l6KGEWt
611Please respect copyright.PENANA90D3L7u9hn
He doesn't reply.611Please respect copyright.PENANAkTU8v4GcHs
611Please respect copyright.PENANAkPgaJfiHDd
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.611Please respect copyright.PENANAGnpczNgoo9
611Please respect copyright.PENANArOdsODdM3T
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.611Please respect copyright.PENANAH70dcBcew0
611Please respect copyright.PENANAX5Jor7JrHI
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"611Please respect copyright.PENANAt3rnhVxL2n
611Please respect copyright.PENANA9YJtfShPiP
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.611Please respect copyright.PENANA2QHomq9HOh
611Please respect copyright.PENANAhSN5cXUMUO
"Stay awake." I told him softly.611Please respect copyright.PENANACY3DNWkV6t
611Please respect copyright.PENANAgd4UllcV2Z
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.611Please respect copyright.PENANAVRTOF0AJp4
611Please respect copyright.PENANAaZHkdBLoQo
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.611Please respect copyright.PENANAFrM5rKRi6h
611Please respect copyright.PENANA8xyhUDQGJm
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.611Please respect copyright.PENANAyvj8ixUZyw
611Please respect copyright.PENANAlmzOkMrhgK
"Kiss me," he repeats.611Please respect copyright.PENANA8GhEudFnd7
611Please respect copyright.PENANAVeTiZEDSxs
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.611Please respect copyright.PENANAaALPvqBF0W
611Please respect copyright.PENANASrpIHxLCuQ
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.611Please respect copyright.PENANAsbY6NZXHfU
611Please respect copyright.PENANAPGnK0dfurw
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.611Please respect copyright.PENANArZlPKrze3l
611Please respect copyright.PENANAwTrBKruYmB
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.611Please respect copyright.PENANAy9SinKF5GF
611Please respect copyright.PENANAv9PS9Xy4dx
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.611Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xz4IdLB8E
611Please respect copyright.PENANAkJpPrSlpAk
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.611Please respect copyright.PENANAMSp1HCi9Ja
611Please respect copyright.PENANAxKmwPZJAyF
Electricity races through me and lingers.611Please respect copyright.PENANAHOx6ra0P4K
611Please respect copyright.PENANA6e4eMsMU0D
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.611Please respect copyright.PENANA9SeG7ZIWGK
611Please respect copyright.PENANAeVXSbNjgrt
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.611Please respect copyright.PENANAxsFPo4SwDz
611Please respect copyright.PENANAUAmzkn6TZG
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.611Please respect copyright.PENANAgkr35vcXyY
611Please respect copyright.PENANAl9dJT660bE
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.611Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bu8JEbDsO
611Please respect copyright.PENANAlnS6mHvNfP
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.611Please respect copyright.PENANA8QJXqcVUnF
611Please respect copyright.PENANAofrhkKRmTj
"Jeremy?"611Please respect copyright.PENANAFlmGc7bnoM
611Please respect copyright.PENANA4VMMUnNn7p
I shake my head, not believing.611Please respect copyright.PENANAKbuiRyZNCI
611Please respect copyright.PENANAbg4Cmj28yh
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"611Please respect copyright.PENANAC3WTfC3nnO
611Please respect copyright.PENANAvDY3Al6uJh
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.611Please respect copyright.PENANAJgXFB3TTcv
611Please respect copyright.PENANA84XBGuR9mN
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.611Please respect copyright.PENANAXd4ERnzuIu
611Please respect copyright.PENANAq7ZLa0Fb1u
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 611Please respect copyright.PENANAMsbPVk36rC
