JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdVhRtQdBT
He's shaking underneath my grasp.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUy1IZZ5Sp
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUzVDwWdIj
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QpM7Se0qx
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUnbgNzWhY
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMNHjaGXUG
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm01DD23ltI
I smile bitterly.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr6QDHiiI0
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpifHaskaCJ
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G4Ngiorp4
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5E1gNgK2u
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbdFBcI8Gp
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbzz7wqQdZ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25INv4FAe6
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS1Vnt2EF2
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62n8j075T5
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UOcwyS4CW
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S69vodQ3r
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAO3lqzfOi
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GbL432FYL
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8nLI2BUe6
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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPNT7fyOgc
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJmpbzJPXn
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VZspP925d
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacj0TZB5Op
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQES4ISp3bi
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ZNgew3v8
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaaPmYxP1J
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhtztoUAlA
I must at all cost keep him awake.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Au7V0H2H
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMilBCEyZ
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwGzXGvZx4
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit2OZM82Nb
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJq2VwOJbE
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd0RwoFMnO
"Not that long baby I promise."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVoDvKCiWO
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMj02uWnjR
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQk2zZ52qd
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMHAt48n9T
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFetleJz6t
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnxTbsD2g8
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalsREC6qQv
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0i9y7o1Wa
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe69NBvvl2
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rCYMBbsR0
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw7W8bHwz7
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFEAQ79QKc
I frown at him.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xW07C9bFK
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiSbgM63mp
"Don't say that."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSpdgWAWL8
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcrpgIfSIt
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAUYSmHs5U
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBplK8yVMB7
I gasp.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5AA95pXS
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR9KkZKYd0
"Jere stop!"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVty8ezojDm
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdzs7hGuJ3
He goes on.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSra3uLJvMy
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnakX8MJtwV
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeeBllHDlV
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡposnPh2NrI
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrpUT1Ye7m
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6y2efuljX
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXYEZcQlj0
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQG0HAOhhf
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKXDwhASwr
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpWu40bHIY
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YYCQbaOMl
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz31gQBCgo
"I won't."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfzlooe3y6
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC6t8AqoyZ
He obeys, watching me soberly.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQudCS3C33
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WatxjlaJe
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtszhCnh0W
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN2NZv9MS8
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUPIDbeemE
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ0amzn9RT
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT7ZrGfp3a
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxUS2GgiLY
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8tjri92um
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ST51yPYiK
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxAshHBTKS
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecVCIFOwon
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9pOPRS95N
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYSbOYuJai
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmPwQhoEQo
He tries to nod but he can't.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr86LbSKtHD
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuezpxO2NBb
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mzUJZKtKf
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZHc6IBb0
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9FXjB2Sy
He looks up into mine.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPzOoX2wzh
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYlwL7FFW4
"Don't leave me." He whispers.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p4xNR5nxC
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGtdje7vjh
"Stay awake." I tell him.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlsLjHHF0t
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwFLFFAM0N
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJtPRcAaF0
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3fLnn1P0c
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8mSZpiqtH
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoslFbY0ZF
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9awmg41f94
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvytQGyAR16
He doesn't reply.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KbK3yursj
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeTMVq46ek
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uYINQcomc
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hHgskVRv2
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw86elQ1PWO
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyhXpvUKyl
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoL8dNshgY
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO0lCtUV7B
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRr9whSRBc
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrylAGf38IR
"Stay awake." I told him softly.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EneYaWPLa
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPSLyuOPGP
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuH8XfCaIo
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1wO14tzMb
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHJoAtwN75
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9nxbAk1iS
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7uHJlA1BF
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwm0jDtRI
"Kiss me," he repeats.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B1m1cpRjY
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDHvPH3E4A
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e5uepyTSm
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wmDohFlcm
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSRgh6fTDc
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO2uVjvnJE
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQJBD26gOD
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzlkEC1d9J
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJYyRovl0
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmCt06LdZB
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZAbF74NsD
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRludaMloQ
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWXSD3kUZK
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T0qdV9JxC
Electricity races through me and lingers.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Vacix65x
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK7TvaCCHp
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzOkS7ZkiG
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag8uo3010z
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0rP7OIx7F
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBsLTmjeiQ
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14oCpMGKFL
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJrJAsfmci
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgczYzGe7s
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYnhWdtSS9
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0C9W50Fk7
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyqgIpQ7ms
"Jeremy?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVBzQebAzb
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCX6eIEHtM
I shake my head, not believing.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfYYcYQeI4
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D1RnvIUec
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKBX74M1La
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrehDr2gyYL
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3T69Vntq9
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2TFYNNg3r
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbzeyIncb
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmROJwFMIl
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTScz2wyBt
