JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmtYn4nKm7
He's shaking underneath my grasp.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEseq1Nmqs
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIUy0zgbJL
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN1FFVHEcI
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMxWFr6V7n
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JmEQqSYZE
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSvgEwfjP
I smile bitterly.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH51VGTnLU
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOz2Sef8bp
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUi7hQ2PqR
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnudg8Sm0gu
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p7SsNJChD
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tujw0zxq
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57amvKJfCI
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq65juR48C
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXLOcXh9PP
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyNIf2NiNr
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHKMMnFLoX
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCB0UpPb40
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkqTq3hQ0i
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVud5QA5egZ
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWDEjXrBw8
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAATtiJFQe
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6pWPQc6ve
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLj3wEIJxA
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawfXpxHW4Y
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeO0v1dAYL
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLseBttGhHN
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMzqHUXwdR
I must at all cost keep him awake.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJwu0ERR7p
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpIlHUOzhB
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F99evhvU1
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOOyxE7Uy7
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvS3l7Mrec
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPfPV5tTDI
"Not that long baby I promise."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRZLUnWGUE
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03NGovUy4S
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10VOWQFur
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkWo2KJVUA
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkFhBmIQAy
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ehgCgNX1
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ1Mm8oeqI
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBzBCe0ooN
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSDOOJA2Tp
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp2ITTPBbu
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l9NLx0be1
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFTgPrGUlv
I frown at him.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X7Ry3Lkv4
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIkcV8nUXB
"Don't say that."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXe09CWbwj
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtldTwWzlQ
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjabt1bYU8L
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjULixf7w9V
I gasp.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V6qlZmq7X
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPKhCZe8U0
"Jere stop!"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxofab4uioq
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGtYIIa0wd
He goes on.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJBTQWAcQ9
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPyq6nS0A2
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYEcjMmUS9
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxYwrpcy2a
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXBHwJlS7B
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTYIHOYGSB
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oeuHexT19
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWVlEvAeAC
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojFTc4dQa5
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAUz04VDIj
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9BIyN93iU
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbSgtcFYPH
"I won't."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZZIhcvpzB
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgCkMBTZJf
He obeys, watching me soberly.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXr8B4dIw2
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmVgn6hlgP
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbumrxVcTMf
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDgDHc2ajC
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBh9xddMH0
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdouGGfVyiA
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibnVClOfqd
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVFMwQBxLg
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7MDYxCIuD
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1bfbXWkm9
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdI411dXEq
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoyIY7iIy3
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDWl0HBVq0
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKokZoBrr7w
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHormWS66o9
He tries to nod but he can't.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc8pHYla0V
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rPHVzB6iR
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH1dRJzcB7
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrqYzGCBn8
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSeC9lz6gq
He looks up into mine.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyFTdtNS7Z
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURslOB0kuM
"Don't leave me." He whispers.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJno1jw02hx
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm2PaWRBj5
"Stay awake." I tell him.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7jEPpRsuh
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnv3jVGQif
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi4hsJYsF6
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniurInGZg0
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNDaPgjDSx
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4dDxxpqWa
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwlveWDAEG
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKMnpI5QnO
He doesn't reply.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBff91EHMs
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd4cLsbv7j
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZdJTbNv7M
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6yVQ5SWj8
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiKq9uicSO
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPBowgd1X1
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNAmqiWpTK
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNFtw08iOd
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YkcX0Vh0E
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXRlrVHlg
"Stay awake." I told him softly.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7qiXEnCeM
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x9UyMslKi
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRivCMRjQE
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpaAODafEW
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtDd0Wpctx
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnPFrOmQio
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL0SmE96to
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4dpMKNMVW
"Kiss me," he repeats.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KIjNvzyQy
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWph1WiNTyo
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCFM1kjg3B
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SOjgAegbB
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV1r7OloGE
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdIekJhTMD
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZMdEmouDN
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvBnObSpAd
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA2DkNIEUB
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2lkSLKXUd
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k71XhrXJT
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uL3MHNPUy
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R2XdPnqvi
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaHN2Rtclk
Electricity races through me and lingers.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi1pJE90xv
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPxpMEw3po
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI27HAnjbRd
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2UJ8T1tsI
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNpeFTON7x
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9egu7FPdN
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnMshmMGHj
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4o18CYWvK
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbkl8nh99Z
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvPoo1Pprn
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo2aawEI6g
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK8GFayugc
"Jeremy?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNoLnBR1vE
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0VEXbJuKf
I shake my head, not believing.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dFGzh77m8
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63BdKoRpf6
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO2YduvjcW
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpzbTtWw42
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhg3RY1z7H
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA88c1rKDRB
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTOnFopUjg
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXVPoollwr
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLIjf5M2cd
