I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.592Please respect copyright.PENANAN3GEhuTtsi
He's shaking underneath my grasp.592Please respect copyright.PENANAE6fW2Osh9i
592Please respect copyright.PENANART6ufwKaFz
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.592Please respect copyright.PENANAKVU99d8tol
592Please respect copyright.PENANAgtqx2sY5Lo
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.592Please respect copyright.PENANAIJVrPDXAt5
592Please respect copyright.PENANAdXsQ4HmeYP
I smile bitterly.592Please respect copyright.PENANAebG74LGj1t
592Please respect copyright.PENANARgNGNJqZjl
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.592Please respect copyright.PENANAykSWcF0LiY
592Please respect copyright.PENANA8dO4D1jAW3
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.592Please respect copyright.PENANAU62y2lcH3V
592Please respect copyright.PENANA7n4h2aLqV5
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.592Please respect copyright.PENANAzmaAVaDcYU
592Please respect copyright.PENANAxXVyNLmdlU
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."592Please respect copyright.PENANAAIecxBEjTu
592Please respect copyright.PENANABhBQnIQAKm
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.592Please respect copyright.PENANAldyE7W4P5A
592Please respect copyright.PENANA9TJNPAiUxw
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.592Please respect copyright.PENANAp5jMr3khVY
592Please respect copyright.PENANAiPKhVMAHBX
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.592Please respect copyright.PENANAYt3Rka30Zg
592Please respect copyright.PENANAdaugydPbOj
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.592Please respect copyright.PENANAsn3jim4Oqp
592Please respect copyright.PENANAihMNEF2f1M
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.592Please respect copyright.PENANACMwSNZdhak
592Please respect copyright.PENANA9DLC9F3AWu
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.592Please respect copyright.PENANAxnRomNA9YO
592Please respect copyright.PENANABCns9agbPP
I must at all cost keep him awake.592Please respect copyright.PENANAW2cDQ0vqHb
592Please respect copyright.PENANAdPYVVWygOt
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"592Please respect copyright.PENANAPktjVzJECK
592Please respect copyright.PENANAtevTSdCmdh
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.592Please respect copyright.PENANAS9xdSBj2bP
592Please respect copyright.PENANAtDuCHHJx7A
"Not that long baby I promise."592Please respect copyright.PENANAHO9Fui9xE5
592Please respect copyright.PENANA6tJCXSVcmo
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.592Please respect copyright.PENANADCauGezZRe
592Please respect copyright.PENANAq4vSqKRa1y
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.592Please respect copyright.PENANAgubWdTzWZ0
592Please respect copyright.PENANATZUEqgWMCS
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.592Please respect copyright.PENANAWDYu7idhOt
592Please respect copyright.PENANAoImo2hH4hb
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.592Please respect copyright.PENANAdZzveCUuFI
592Please respect copyright.PENANADaWEM47PXH
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.592Please respect copyright.PENANAGH7YsEYre2
592Please respect copyright.PENANAK2IRMBlHC6
I frown at him.592Please respect copyright.PENANA1ujQMnv237
592Please respect copyright.PENANAQGU7zZIo2R
"Don't say that."592Please respect copyright.PENANAhcoJpLT7Zc
592Please respect copyright.PENANA4BuUIkF3oy
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.592Please respect copyright.PENANAsOlxkhTXK5
592Please respect copyright.PENANAgEae16NgNG
I gasp.592Please respect copyright.PENANAq4Paxc1L86
592Please respect copyright.PENANAO5o6834Ofz
"Jere stop!"592Please respect copyright.PENANAcGnLPx75ZI
592Please respect copyright.PENANAkLaHGVaz2s
He goes on.592Please respect copyright.PENANA11UEElY2jK
592Please respect copyright.PENANAM6nxsQrRxg
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.592Please respect copyright.PENANAL7wvkQWWxU
592Please respect copyright.PENANA65TOUWU0VX
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.592Please respect copyright.PENANA5aXM0fa2nT
592Please respect copyright.PENANAUpl32kTHmr
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"592Please respect copyright.PENANAyS784af4EW
592Please respect copyright.PENANARzYuGdjb97
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.592Please respect copyright.PENANAQeBrge4icZ
592Please respect copyright.PENANAAsNh8lJbsO
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.592Please respect copyright.PENANA1tpP8zfY80
592Please respect copyright.PENANAywA0KqDibJ
"I won't."592Please respect copyright.PENANA2mkfP884op
592Please respect copyright.PENANAV7zHcpWi86
He obeys, watching me soberly.592Please respect copyright.PENANATW8LYzdwir
592Please respect copyright.PENANAqDFbmIKKZu
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.592Please respect copyright.PENANARNflBxrh0B
592Please respect copyright.PENANAnF3xrfUEib
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.592Please respect copyright.PENANA4o0bn1TArI
592Please respect copyright.PENANAXDZPgmrKGL
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.592Please respect copyright.PENANAehE1WroIwJ
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.592Please respect copyright.PENANAGHlEc7V8ds
592Please respect copyright.PENANAJrd2SG1UwK
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.592Please respect copyright.PENANApuISSxiID1
592Please respect copyright.PENANAwcD9FF9Yjt
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.592Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fw5eXwqdF
592Please respect copyright.PENANAaNGpP6YsUn
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"592Please respect copyright.PENANAZZkAOA5mxF
592Please respect copyright.PENANAsPcWUjIOOj
He tries to nod but he can't.592Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gu1lYqGe2
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.592Please respect copyright.PENANAIUSZJIqchD
592Please respect copyright.PENANAc5URxtghnJ
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.592Please respect copyright.PENANAuTZzlVSDfe
592Please respect copyright.PENANAu6rl2zQyh9
He looks up into mine.592Please respect copyright.PENANACDzw1O5BPL
592Please respect copyright.PENANAwS8T8s5sCJ
"Don't leave me." He whispers.592Please respect copyright.PENANA35FootTBwj
592Please respect copyright.PENANARFejw76Ytu
"Stay awake." I tell him.592Please respect copyright.PENANAahfsyU1dsD
592Please respect copyright.PENANAyYtt10HTAM
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.592Please respect copyright.PENANAszW1IrisZi
592Please respect copyright.PENANAwPtnQHoX7U
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.592Please respect copyright.PENANABRld9nfWXB
592Please respect copyright.PENANAf4P36EXakv
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"592Please respect copyright.PENANAEotxySunPs
592Please respect copyright.PENANAExGe2ZoetK
He doesn't reply.592Please respect copyright.PENANAN7j1dX5pRm
592Please respect copyright.PENANAxKhkUPwpGG
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.592Please respect copyright.PENANATMePupMxyP
592Please respect copyright.PENANAn7gfaV9ihS
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.592Please respect copyright.PENANAragiVGWgcD
592Please respect copyright.PENANA9EZSfBS2mz
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"592Please respect copyright.PENANArD6YBp5JZ6
592Please respect copyright.PENANAuQMk1i7g8x
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.592Please respect copyright.PENANAo6FKFwSZoS
592Please respect copyright.PENANAsbUr9mOgYl
"Stay awake." I told him softly.592Please respect copyright.PENANAFHk6Zgd9s8
592Please respect copyright.PENANAZReHAUYSCh
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.592Please respect copyright.PENANAavPbhIxuFe
592Please respect copyright.PENANAUQUZYRUslx
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.592Please respect copyright.PENANA2ypQJa1twh
592Please respect copyright.PENANAqmFpifAxrv
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.592Please respect copyright.PENANACjG3OybqB5
592Please respect copyright.PENANAkbcmQDwTnL
"Kiss me," he repeats.592Please respect copyright.PENANANJuc4YFUJ4
592Please respect copyright.PENANADCKuyvORFK
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.592Please respect copyright.PENANAn1iXSdUHhA
592Please respect copyright.PENANAznwNimaBBE
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.592Please respect copyright.PENANAbtCUWehKHB
592Please respect copyright.PENANA9xu0Etf1n3
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.592Please respect copyright.PENANATqWQa0i1CK
592Please respect copyright.PENANA66EQIoZxYD
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.592Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zn7GRpcJ2
592Please respect copyright.PENANA2PIrLfyC3a
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.592Please respect copyright.PENANA9YMpbagoX1
592Please respect copyright.PENANAkqViQgXs0T
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.592Please respect copyright.PENANAb1E0ZOPtJP
592Please respect copyright.PENANAnC9qstGMsL
Electricity races through me and lingers.592Please respect copyright.PENANAemkXHUmqUg
592Please respect copyright.PENANAXu6p44cezw
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.592Please respect copyright.PENANABY5iBlF9nH
592Please respect copyright.PENANAqQlcAO4DU0
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.592Please respect copyright.PENANA5yHLdCNr5q
592Please respect copyright.PENANAiCyXBQpbia
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.592Please respect copyright.PENANAUw8bof50ds
592Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sv9kZfyG0
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.592Please respect copyright.PENANASJXZs5lyyd
592Please respect copyright.PENANASGQcsobvYZ
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.592Please respect copyright.PENANAa6T3KnWECY
592Please respect copyright.PENANAszRnijZpQL
"Jeremy?"592Please respect copyright.PENANAV1RiGFLRtt
592Please respect copyright.PENANAKXOm4zJ8Im
I shake my head, not believing.592Please respect copyright.PENANAG8iOCCmaAo
592Please respect copyright.PENANAFq8r6MY4nl
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"592Please respect copyright.PENANARcCB5G2qGU
592Please respect copyright.PENANAd0757Mezen
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.592Please respect copyright.PENANAAWfUny8PHS
592Please respect copyright.PENANAax5qXBn5qq
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.592Please respect copyright.PENANABTUC1gPVsp
592Please respect copyright.PENANAImd8bwnYJZ
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 592Please respect copyright.PENANAI8gOLkwQpN
592Please respect copyright.PENANAAqOgA9JrCT
