JERE833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsZHIiAPcb
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX9luq11nj
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HVIZ4i82U
He's shaking underneath my grasp.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMblHVHEdR
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4isoYVKxI
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrfCC1Yiyo
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrHCT08EEp
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmmcfN3vK8
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8OihWOiDX
I smile bitterly.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQFQtWAMd
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lww8xEAjl
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHBw9d2OkL
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWSOh6qkA5
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fXOnvBQkU
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhXjJptUGu
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8O9CkLlwL
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvfAXfbs6e
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiUiNi6GTd
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtmiFpvDVQ
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7g1l82ctf
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzRfdeBv0x
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjtTRTfNl0
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WgyXOAohq
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.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcNMYg14LB
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IzeJZ1g3r
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAubP4FcnY
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoVIJLYbcu
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANWeMZDZTF
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLA39HR7Ev
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9YQGGXhTg
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3mVjhYkOd
I must at all cost keep him awake.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ0Hu3H3CR
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoFsQNsXR6
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqRTUgZZub
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBdm7lvbDI
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpdLL6B7Xk
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMdMQFHL11
"Not that long baby I promise."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSCaAJOSWt
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KF7R57qcJ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo0Coxbhg0
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5P32uISKX
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA7iibF2WD
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcVovCJ40K
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunzc3pbrG8
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ibOtSCxi5
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejUrJ7eF6p
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyuzh8eNH6
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VtNNhAwXl
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Za87PQoD
I frown at him.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB7oxCTDYa
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7mIeXZuu9
"Don't say that."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7OTSb7QJK
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyb6cy68MW
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UhdXx1LS2
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEnyTp2nF4
I gasp.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPqr0X6qCc
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIIkty5YIn
"Jere stop!"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonvfd3gjN5
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoYl6JBFcA
He goes on.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmudEidOja
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOOjal6qoD
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7L8BttaE
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2v24K7NJb
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWLz5LZdB
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNieqyBMJG
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIJaCoxe6r
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWtUkBYzVm
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhPmcaMCEX
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCj7ThP0Im
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhbF87XjDB
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92s55vGMKQ
"I won't."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrVWzCDcUL
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiFPFXqkBz
He obeys, watching me soberly.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrl5XhiS6O
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYkLHfSlHe
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsdmIxeQjp
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jHt9bt3Pc
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcly8fqHNtN
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9IwroWVel
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb3nfJ8DfD
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwlY5CgWju
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jb5eEkwtx
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVC7Y1tq3V
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEu1X6ku3t
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKFEHqei8T
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjZrnq9Xkk
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv6qOEjvI0
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcCLgXN99G
He tries to nod but he can't.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz9xmCqmAJ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDrqkGzEyF
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjxWb05FR3
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbP0kRPCYn
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQXAVGqXAT
He looks up into mine.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOeP49ERA
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgjR6sjgk1
"Don't leave me." He whispers.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkM0mDdiCs
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9QBSfyZKX
"Stay awake." I tell him.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iGD7mLIMc
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dwXOAdB1M
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAFQ9xJJO4
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYrdfNYQga
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3UEBRZteX
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAohEv6vnh
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJASE5bpdb
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7LlCRseHF
He doesn't reply.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC7tK8aSOG
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7C3zvT0qf
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxUphmK16
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7IEAGGEqV
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHhdpZpINO
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrO7FLtMKc
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFRbi8gAxC
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RDMi2qKY3
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypdM03CLi3
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZKVuAvymk
"Stay awake." I told him softly.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhLMo2gW6c
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPZnrCyxLy
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1XgRiWdnF
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rBDy7YLJL
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgeuxJtBQz
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5osU0W4cw
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0z4h3Fkvr
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOZbQ15CwJ
"Kiss me," he repeats.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjZi3aexJF
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUK6oU9LMW
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9yZi99yuS
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z9ICZqGo4
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBFHZVe8t5
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ryuVwD6d
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMsUdWlSsI
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy6x3pmpq8
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVlgXqmgyl
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2DjQSwRl
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr6wWaVSly
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMeQwcQpBv
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6cPByEJYi
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZaWA5OvCH
Electricity races through me and lingers.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEEw0m3xE
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WnQnD7Dlk
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJpgtt8y2A
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqpsD3MQw0
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyr3pCJTqh
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8cmh0iYWd
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpMt7YsaBN
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrnycWTfpA
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcKoHlKhN0
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakoymfolSV
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7blXQ5r7C
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK7hYZxzqM
"Jeremy?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw147uX2sV
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS0nZ7o7MJ
I shake my head, not believing.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6wJHYmrpx
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWLwYPjyf9
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gHSyoPq2l
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡledhPMYvmW
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzkAio0zp0
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMt9CcUseZ
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLjSv8BpDd
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQkYCjTd7s
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RauA2ARj9
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHfN0qkUjq
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxs6OyR00D
