JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsKPR4rnTc
He's shaking underneath my grasp.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2bMMYZMyf
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq12PUqy91U
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHtQcuzzG
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVF7GGQtfY
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqaqRPL33G
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNlX6xjCrP
I smile bitterly.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9KlCQBsj9
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaUQIVS8dm
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFTIuOrdWe
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtXCiM6j8w
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghipbV8LEA
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqzaGjkzhJ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7N3hDlaRA
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwO9MDdVGV
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfx6qY5v7P
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhLH7pYuyq
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT35h8drnf
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmmKTsQodi
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmHlK34uTL
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUCocuIpbn
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.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUCfRhv2Wc
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC6FZYlgBY
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15M2nQdd9c
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeS94kGK3Z
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTaxhxDq7l
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb28zrhRNrh
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxgd9XBjBm
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXTGcnPQoT
I must at all cost keep him awake.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvaswcL2rP
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc1eRnOS75
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gf20lIMol
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIocE3ojSp
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2lnWphbT8
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNwyeUJX9
"Not that long baby I promise."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo79aIDCDs
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK8vN7UNri
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpvRAiaq5Z
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sSqSwGMhg
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3qNZYwhK
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoMhTFZYNq
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UpGQW1lkb
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKE6ZMszcW
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8eJdLIts7
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXtJsOwgBH
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZ1NZZ1uy
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz425qGMT6
I frown at him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHURImgofGF
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI8xkQh19S
"Don't say that."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC1yeijV7b
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt8151VHeC
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaUr2oolSQ
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tSPOaMx4B
I gasp.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII7OJXwCmq
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X8Nqgb4il
"Jere stop!"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1BpmMoRQf
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw03lP34bZ
He goes on.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K5GiRSrsI
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bY7rf7qYM
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUcnHhsHKr
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVrwvmjnj1
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3nrQQPC2V
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5oXkzryG7
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABtfayhFDM
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFLkixUEXM
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm1KHulZ96
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf2YuReyzG
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdTDTtMV0W
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4UcRYOHvn
"I won't."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgcILkKpek
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtyvU0oSY
He obeys, watching me soberly.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDMosaOZ8P
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPhGqQVNs0
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpljHtgrEVD
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZZSWQ9zBx
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3TGLNGyEa
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v5HJKE7BY
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9i2iogaEI
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ssySmlaa
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohrThol77L
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc9sT2wpa8
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRB5uBh4tz
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBHusQjjwI
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKBVTz6svb
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwD9SCagwJ
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscimkHidRy
He tries to nod but he can't.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lKCxqmQ3S
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfJEQolz5n
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18aHp8K1vV
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TsDD81gLV
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD18g9BSMYO
He looks up into mine.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVhEIJzI8
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyGw4zEy9A
"Don't leave me." He whispers.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLfD2iNXDv
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiNjP1uLVl
"Stay awake." I tell him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso0mxRGrhP
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4J4kD6fdp
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4MW03LQ9
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82AqNtVPny
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SgQek5Ejh
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYv26dOiHx
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ohgwdZ5Tp
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSvBzJIfMe
He doesn't reply.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWjzZkQ5Oy
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wrjnO3Kv0
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZv2T4WqXi
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDsM7Z2tO5
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh5VOkBh4q
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySUIn9TXtS
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39oPZUqUOq
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZsLMB10o0
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkEyPTdPp1
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMG7duMYOq
"Stay awake." I told him softly.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFn03ZTFT3
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gbOqdeYdf
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zGmS1kpyu
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP8fiBlkDG
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafCFyrSXG8
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQXvp97hdN
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYycoq14Jf
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9cERJ82d
"Kiss me," he repeats.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0r22nOW3Z
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlFxYusxRu
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRq3yqsMjy
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkI49NOiBy
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aEkuGUTXB
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBhwopYiRS
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq9dnUutb3
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fWzvhT4LW
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzXokdDxXO
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3NWSKloMz
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH6vRqgrmo
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3xyo562pt
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS7SUeWlDk
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN1kaSv4hv
Electricity races through me and lingers.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OFvZjDTs
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7aTeBE7sq
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoxckVMC7g
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KR6Qhn3k8
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmva3lHMpQ
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77wcVHOsWS
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIuds9jZNT
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSbcVFcDOL
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNmYQ44ou9
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb04YhuGIq
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbEbkkazOd
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT1L7qU7mq
"Jeremy?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hPeuVXWUU
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIe1reTelO
I shake my head, not believing.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBAwiARJpN
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf1Vvdlwa5
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUGrmLMHVB
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMNFrpLa56
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyEB3ZplSG
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEBUZow6Nc
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSesbNie6Go
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VXXoazbo9
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIvK3ZYfg4
