I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.639Please respect copyright.PENANAD4AAjUtDhU
He's shaking underneath my grasp.639Please respect copyright.PENANADt9rN1ahRp
639Please respect copyright.PENANAouFuK6DVjc
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.639Please respect copyright.PENANAOqJvNULVTQ
639Please respect copyright.PENANAi7rEACjL2e
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.639Please respect copyright.PENANAO5lsPXXZJe
639Please respect copyright.PENANAtfgTXyFV9u
I smile bitterly.639Please respect copyright.PENANASz4LDYM3FI
639Please respect copyright.PENANAjJxNOC5UtT
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.639Please respect copyright.PENANAqcmYxRbMqu
639Please respect copyright.PENANA9QQhEg6X3C
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.639Please respect copyright.PENANArBuMvjXdzj
639Please respect copyright.PENANAI4ZnXwzbWb
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.639Please respect copyright.PENANA4I8PrzKmGk
639Please respect copyright.PENANA8clk53N74C
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."639Please respect copyright.PENANABdKs91l1nA
639Please respect copyright.PENANARRpbqt4HnK
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.639Please respect copyright.PENANA1W9PXgaWhV
639Please respect copyright.PENANAFx2HLB0aUR
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.639Please respect copyright.PENANAvBxK13MKDU
639Please respect copyright.PENANARxht6Y6Jek
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.639Please respect copyright.PENANAnIuDpkKfMZ
639Please respect copyright.PENANABgI1a0o56h
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.639Please respect copyright.PENANAWXBgwbAe53
639Please respect copyright.PENANAwQEpD22Lng
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.639Please respect copyright.PENANAEFguhqx6cw
639Please respect copyright.PENANAVpN8aDLRsa
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.639Please respect copyright.PENANAULQgzoBDt1
639Please respect copyright.PENANA7vvKhoGS7r
I must at all cost keep him awake.639Please respect copyright.PENANAqnt6s9rzYI
639Please respect copyright.PENANANRxPOnoNv9
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"639Please respect copyright.PENANAz7hOL26PUL
639Please respect copyright.PENANAvlOREH242E
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.639Please respect copyright.PENANABKT9CFmxoS
639Please respect copyright.PENANAodwQFxPoMk
"Not that long baby I promise."639Please respect copyright.PENANAtokstFedSW
639Please respect copyright.PENANAG8nogjZrFb
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.639Please respect copyright.PENANA2GBIzWEzT0
639Please respect copyright.PENANAWixiVdjbUY
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.639Please respect copyright.PENANA1XogTx6lB7
639Please respect copyright.PENANAOughGozJxH
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.639Please respect copyright.PENANArTjwL2blrk
639Please respect copyright.PENANAqWu9sJzNUj
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.639Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0apAkOBLX
639Please respect copyright.PENANAdmaOBSRVkf
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.639Please respect copyright.PENANAfUqUN70d0E
639Please respect copyright.PENANAYAFnxarK42
I frown at him.639Please respect copyright.PENANABhkpOVPLU7
639Please respect copyright.PENANAtukv3MNhIe
"Don't say that."639Please respect copyright.PENANAzKfoVWyCwh
639Please respect copyright.PENANArkAl851jWn
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.639Please respect copyright.PENANAxvIhByZ2CG
639Please respect copyright.PENANAc2UWfhwDS6
I gasp.639Please respect copyright.PENANAaVjNfihxug
639Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mu5Zi2vFL
"Jere stop!"639Please respect copyright.PENANAiperRAiZWR
639Please respect copyright.PENANAvoHWvEjUZ2
He goes on.639Please respect copyright.PENANAE4LVg21spa
639Please respect copyright.PENANAjRmYtBMAdB
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.639Please respect copyright.PENANAZMBCkbKiyT
639Please respect copyright.PENANAFFzvex0sl0
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.639Please respect copyright.PENANANxtpFW9WYF
639Please respect copyright.PENANAJULKsjGrxF
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"639Please respect copyright.PENANAK0x7FA03P6
639Please respect copyright.PENANA1ChlkRGmlB
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.639Please respect copyright.PENANAJsBTbHkwyz
639Please respect copyright.PENANAq8Z5sf5b1x
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.639Please respect copyright.PENANA6xlun14QuW
639Please respect copyright.PENANA7dG6EAGj6u
"I won't."639Please respect copyright.PENANAHMhZp9Qsib
639Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8hYX12KD5
He obeys, watching me soberly.639Please respect copyright.PENANAZb1p8UrL8l
639Please respect copyright.PENANAOnGUEHzdsj
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.639Please respect copyright.PENANAmzpScKMV2n
639Please respect copyright.PENANAcvFUVbYQBP
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.639Please respect copyright.PENANAlTHDFZTG44
639Please respect copyright.PENANATC8ZDxyQbZ
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.639Please respect copyright.PENANAGFFedEN8Dj
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.639Please respect copyright.PENANAYAm5L3oxai
639Please respect copyright.PENANAeA3fXQjXHV
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.639Please respect copyright.PENANAtCPI36YuFm
639Please respect copyright.PENANAXgcZapXCrp
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.639Please respect copyright.PENANAET3MCTgTql
639Please respect copyright.PENANAaoqYU8544j
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"639Please respect copyright.PENANAPwgrm1iKhV
639Please respect copyright.PENANARC97YIafZ2
He tries to nod but he can't.639Please respect copyright.PENANASDp8pq1E2v
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.639Please respect copyright.PENANAS64K2lU7JB
639Please respect copyright.PENANA5C3rCrTQYD
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.639Please respect copyright.PENANAV4bSkxF5qX
639Please respect copyright.PENANAc8AgKsIyfV
He looks up into mine.639Please respect copyright.PENANA4NJa0mYnGA
639Please respect copyright.PENANAwWAykHrq8O
"Don't leave me." He whispers.639Please respect copyright.PENANAFTnsVmcXAk
639Please respect copyright.PENANArhp8Y7RjNI
"Stay awake." I tell him.639Please respect copyright.PENANA6j6pcs8lm2
639Please respect copyright.PENANAtT9zaGmMXj
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.639Please respect copyright.PENANA8hOe783KZS
639Please respect copyright.PENANAGNkziijR3i
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.639Please respect copyright.PENANAwbMXMzijEJ
639Please respect copyright.PENANAHHdTfGiHFL
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"639Please respect copyright.PENANAyutBF7sNmu
639Please respect copyright.PENANALBSxUEKbD7
He doesn't reply.639Please respect copyright.PENANAPznfNnWXUP
639Please respect copyright.PENANAyk6fwNF7S5
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.639Please respect copyright.PENANAPqZvKmgUWh
639Please respect copyright.PENANAmrTxbTj3AT
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.639Please respect copyright.PENANAYCNPMJpoX9
639Please respect copyright.PENANAG2TXZqEm9W
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"639Please respect copyright.PENANAZhVAX9qvZq
639Please respect copyright.PENANATSWywWNXDj
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.639Please respect copyright.PENANAUw70ClkvyI
639Please respect copyright.PENANAYKe62egubB
"Stay awake." I told him softly.639Please respect copyright.PENANAG84Dn5NCWx
639Please respect copyright.PENANAlS3MoQvCLr
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.639Please respect copyright.PENANAUUw3dNqyXy
639Please respect copyright.PENANAC0HR65d6q1
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.639Please respect copyright.PENANAmlMsrOE7wV
639Please respect copyright.PENANAZjTDSAnkYN
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.639Please respect copyright.PENANANbOzbpsn5a
639Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xa7078S1L
"Kiss me," he repeats.639Please respect copyright.PENANAcNEQfmw0ss
639Please respect copyright.PENANAluVclRTAGd
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.639Please respect copyright.PENANAik73iBViiJ
639Please respect copyright.PENANAEoSyaMX7hN
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.639Please respect copyright.PENANA0M2DH5YBkC
639Please respect copyright.PENANAETGZOBVOHc
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.639Please respect copyright.PENANAJMpIkR53p9
639Please respect copyright.PENANAIX2HQXNgpz
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.639Please respect copyright.PENANAFgdRSqy4b4
639Please respect copyright.PENANArPiFVmQ0J7
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.639Please respect copyright.PENANAGNxdmarxMT
639Please respect copyright.PENANAQXr7q8pZwA
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.639Please respect copyright.PENANAHxHUkKCZJv
639Please respect copyright.PENANAp42d7So7xi
Electricity races through me and lingers.639Please respect copyright.PENANAprRdgAeaEO
639Please respect copyright.PENANAtGwdMjNDTf
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.639Please respect copyright.PENANA0IAsfYGJjN
639Please respect copyright.PENANAli5q86guTe
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.639Please respect copyright.PENANA1uerLTqwgu
639Please respect copyright.PENANALaBCYOGteG
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.639Please respect copyright.PENANAdQEl84vo1n
639Please respect copyright.PENANANTu8MJPoaQ
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.639Please respect copyright.PENANAsmkKrjnJJc
639Please respect copyright.PENANA1nsn7ssOuh
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.639Please respect copyright.PENANAZdO8mkdqWS
639Please respect copyright.PENANAia4q7XLrsy
"Jeremy?"639Please respect copyright.PENANAHy7rmZj4md
639Please respect copyright.PENANAkvEMRm7A88
I shake my head, not believing.639Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sgaf6MyVK
639Please respect copyright.PENANAUQcGfFu9sQ
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"639Please respect copyright.PENANAUtNR12nVFM
639Please respect copyright.PENANApj6MZn23Yl
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.639Please respect copyright.PENANAyH5pgj3KXV
639Please respect copyright.PENANAr7sBsbbnsL
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.639Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3NYoWX1sc
639Please respect copyright.PENANAr4BGUQ6AZi
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 639Please respect copyright.PENANAe0rHJvmJSc
