I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.577Please respect copyright.PENANAesAiaoKCVd
He's shaking underneath my grasp.577Please respect copyright.PENANA1uOyMlTrzB
577Please respect copyright.PENANAbqZd1oCyjF
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.577Please respect copyright.PENANAv20XDcjKWv
577Please respect copyright.PENANAcnZBofrjEs
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.577Please respect copyright.PENANAxECqw2yVDM
577Please respect copyright.PENANA4FKBfmGe2j
I smile bitterly.577Please respect copyright.PENANAAqE5AC7QeT
577Please respect copyright.PENANA7ftg2ah3W6
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.577Please respect copyright.PENANAqf8Y3vkcKZ
577Please respect copyright.PENANAWPWeB9RVJc
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.577Please respect copyright.PENANATt6kOpi9vw
577Please respect copyright.PENANASA3tKwrrp5
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.577Please respect copyright.PENANAW9tsiLr34v
577Please respect copyright.PENANAIzJcog8Aub
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."577Please respect copyright.PENANALDpm0ur4eF
577Please respect copyright.PENANAI8ijBO6JIf
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.577Please respect copyright.PENANAdFf8f1lV5O
577Please respect copyright.PENANAbxcRKcyRKy
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.577Please respect copyright.PENANA8qqskYhRVE
577Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zzyas89oH
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.577Please respect copyright.PENANABEH6WcUDhK
577Please respect copyright.PENANAMAHsIyFh5f
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.577Please respect copyright.PENANADOhebtmqTK
577Please respect copyright.PENANAnSdEGN9XH7
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.577Please respect copyright.PENANAkKrWUEtBty
577Please respect copyright.PENANAILFT2hwDYp
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.577Please respect copyright.PENANAs7i1pfjaVs
577Please respect copyright.PENANAXPZ93OJGD1
I must at all cost keep him awake.577Please respect copyright.PENANAVQqLAgOiCr
577Please respect copyright.PENANAcS94d3owGI
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAAIDZOHfdlz
577Please respect copyright.PENANANOmUaMAwgB
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.577Please respect copyright.PENANAQgWK6oDFil
577Please respect copyright.PENANA8T5AYLU4rF
"Not that long baby I promise."577Please respect copyright.PENANAb9s0tBQpu1
577Please respect copyright.PENANA5hBPlq55ys
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.577Please respect copyright.PENANANTrusCx7gm
577Please respect copyright.PENANArtQQmWVmzr
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.577Please respect copyright.PENANA8gAeP3G8sm
577Please respect copyright.PENANA57Sytjlht7
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.577Please respect copyright.PENANAqn4vqwSkok
577Please respect copyright.PENANA3BlO7VmEdA
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.577Please respect copyright.PENANADpc4hQ1tat
577Please respect copyright.PENANAUUd2vHDVJI
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.577Please respect copyright.PENANAHoqvoxNZOB
577Please respect copyright.PENANAyf0rne3piK
I frown at him.577Please respect copyright.PENANAdlwl7IAUTC
577Please respect copyright.PENANAHr3LNBDpap
"Don't say that."577Please respect copyright.PENANAyGqv2Ld4Hx
577Please respect copyright.PENANArYgFlqFeCM
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.577Please respect copyright.PENANAcksP4qspru
577Please respect copyright.PENANAyB82KZpExn
I gasp.577Please respect copyright.PENANAWapS6GPvaU
577Please respect copyright.PENANAgRCnGf0vrZ
"Jere stop!"577Please respect copyright.PENANAoLllYmEgWm
577Please respect copyright.PENANA7y6zXJtWlG
He goes on.577Please respect copyright.PENANAAREVcVidRM
577Please respect copyright.PENANAY1a4PlS8yU
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.577Please respect copyright.PENANAyykHVQ6KhS
577Please respect copyright.PENANAmb6YkUQJq5
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.577Please respect copyright.PENANADOKvQDuWRl
577Please respect copyright.PENANAcnAKuLKgUq
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"577Please respect copyright.PENANAWXQMFr741f
577Please respect copyright.PENANAvk4HlOw01C
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.577Please respect copyright.PENANAmiUsonyQV7
577Please respect copyright.PENANAq6ryB5Bkcj
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.577Please respect copyright.PENANA6K1Gxw9VBL
577Please respect copyright.PENANAt7yH6Ek8bm
"I won't."577Please respect copyright.PENANAkgPZjiCfZk
577Please respect copyright.PENANAGEjmTg6sMK
He obeys, watching me soberly.577Please respect copyright.PENANAMBGbqHQonR
577Please respect copyright.PENANA4CjixYwqQ4
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.577Please respect copyright.PENANAp9623AGsvo
577Please respect copyright.PENANA2VNRu7x6Jq
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.577Please respect copyright.PENANAendWN0PH0M
577Please respect copyright.PENANAXEd5s9pl9D
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.577Please respect copyright.PENANAoZDxUg9MOc
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.577Please respect copyright.PENANATCaCViCWbT
577Please respect copyright.PENANAcbsf9DTV6l
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.577Please respect copyright.PENANADs9bcYPvRM
577Please respect copyright.PENANAQJFXz1hduu
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.577Please respect copyright.PENANAgE6QhVCf0g
577Please respect copyright.PENANApieOQuJopY
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"577Please respect copyright.PENANAOcQIpqL9aR
577Please respect copyright.PENANAhKUbsloiNf
He tries to nod but he can't.577Please respect copyright.PENANAeTehImGaA0
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.577Please respect copyright.PENANAnoxPiAtXbw
577Please respect copyright.PENANAmS5FwJjbi3
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.577Please respect copyright.PENANAqgwN7n5N7F
577Please respect copyright.PENANAdVdwPbaeEr
He looks up into mine.577Please respect copyright.PENANAetO4YYm5RC
577Please respect copyright.PENANAsPIvhRXjyn
"Don't leave me." He whispers.577Please respect copyright.PENANAVxgV6vR30p
577Please respect copyright.PENANAHXl9rOAalj
"Stay awake." I tell him.577Please respect copyright.PENANAGGYb4d0LtU
577Please respect copyright.PENANAfBOeoN18O3
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.577Please respect copyright.PENANAouKVTZd4sY
577Please respect copyright.PENANAPjAkTYZCfo
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.577Please respect copyright.PENANA4TX8Ohg1fX
577Please respect copyright.PENANAtHDfZj6AJN
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"577Please respect copyright.PENANA5HADqPyS1a
577Please respect copyright.PENANAhUihJljRkP
He doesn't reply.577Please respect copyright.PENANAQx1hx00pLn
577Please respect copyright.PENANAQWO6RQCQf5
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.577Please respect copyright.PENANAP1NwXzp6DO
577Please respect copyright.PENANAXSzo8xlT3T
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.577Please respect copyright.PENANAQGk5t4nWKd
577Please respect copyright.PENANAoqZA5jk8gj
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"577Please respect copyright.PENANArKAnhKrE10
577Please respect copyright.PENANAmVMspuNerf
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.577Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q2MhJQdr2
577Please respect copyright.PENANAIaxkLfqJSK
"Stay awake." I told him softly.577Please respect copyright.PENANAc1AY3AxLwm
577Please respect copyright.PENANA9w7xtpaKmt
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.577Please respect copyright.PENANAnCvAlcaXGc
577Please respect copyright.PENANAAXMadTLZim
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.577Please respect copyright.PENANAMpBWSb7K17
577Please respect copyright.PENANAjPVxo8CM4n
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.577Please respect copyright.PENANAEDZr4ilwgM
577Please respect copyright.PENANAunN6JKbqsi
"Kiss me," he repeats.577Please respect copyright.PENANAVOb8IZADYw
577Please respect copyright.PENANAgjfeRYD7Lk
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.577Please respect copyright.PENANAFcQYD6XbxR
577Please respect copyright.PENANAQUeZZ8znIz
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.577Please respect copyright.PENANAMHMVzL51zM
577Please respect copyright.PENANAybM9GPunM4
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.577Please respect copyright.PENANAM15Fa57c7a
577Please respect copyright.PENANA2IPyZ58d11
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.577Please respect copyright.PENANAqmZbCdleRY
577Please respect copyright.PENANAsz2mPrWYjU
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.577Please respect copyright.PENANARg91nYZjKs
577Please respect copyright.PENANAQZL5dkOrMs
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.577Please respect copyright.PENANAu7MsfDVuAH
577Please respect copyright.PENANAIhBGhuI7Xa
Electricity races through me and lingers.577Please respect copyright.PENANAXIDfGOZ3Sp
577Please respect copyright.PENANAuPTeGhLCX4
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.577Please respect copyright.PENANAFqAFq5dfvE
577Please respect copyright.PENANAJTbQO3Gh2k
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.577Please respect copyright.PENANAvq8mYHBcZs
577Please respect copyright.PENANAPCIOtQTp7e
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.577Please respect copyright.PENANAQJKzFnfBjW
577Please respect copyright.PENANAiKoFSrl85t
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.577Please respect copyright.PENANAojVtpx2ZFn
577Please respect copyright.PENANAndWmHtYbDg
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.577Please respect copyright.PENANAR0RF0fCqpk
577Please respect copyright.PENANAhbbD3hWHOj
"Jeremy?"577Please respect copyright.PENANA0ICJo39HeO
577Please respect copyright.PENANAyFUyhmAjWd
I shake my head, not believing.577Please respect copyright.PENANAmfDyPGTYGV
577Please respect copyright.PENANAhz4jPcZkBs
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"577Please respect copyright.PENANApGUxo8n8uy
577Please respect copyright.PENANAl5ENs552YV
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.577Please respect copyright.PENANASLvP4GW3x4
577Please respect copyright.PENANAzq1GGYXH7P
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.577Please respect copyright.PENANAuXFn413bPK
577Please respect copyright.PENANASHGbcqvo70
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 577Please respect copyright.PENANASqJzJAuoqE
577Please respect copyright.PENANAoOORwJQbRl
