JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7P6D78Osm
He's shaking underneath my grasp.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuQD306rz0
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcNYtHmjOO
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1p7vJrFYr
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAmKGXdHoO
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Gktji5RH
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkejUZnr9v
I smile bitterly.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQVXNV6sK
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoNzMtvNFv
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6d4mwOdAY
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGpWjV1t5Q
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaZH5LB6nr
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdtLVAg28F
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt6s7vPygj
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXuX1e9Ibm
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCgeCfBnnH
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCxWrEzAIr
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuQPyR3Aer
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y8sTtNItq
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVhotDsywK
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgymcna2N5
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.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpegW57sPBd
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1azL4mmsc
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN0FKNhWvi
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpZK5DGTzF
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla8PNNexZE
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF8tWLd6IE
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKnB5pXJt5
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0WAgjn00N
I must at all cost keep him awake.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gqcg4sjt4
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRWPgyBAQ
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG2v2U3oO2
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ99anTZAKl
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua0cV3jglp
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe8aFuW9I5
"Not that long baby I promise."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1CyokC7fi
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp7iUiuXdJ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyXxE1wmeb
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQBZeckU0
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbDQa0AIwg
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbkYs1z16d
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqa2bdMgHZ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsdmLF7O0y
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jh058K07I
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh6e7VunkR
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXaVN0Kq4I
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybp6eL7Y8M
I frown at him.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXPcLg0Zm0
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LKIcurUPG
"Don't say that."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3V3xS7eIs
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV5y0IS0oI
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iorTtUcu8
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXLq8nwEQY
I gasp.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VDPn3tMTx
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVg5HwIJyi
"Jere stop!"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbEzVm5oVD
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeg0eEEDfE
He goes on.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGpOJv7ztC
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fYt6CHmTL
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM26CxdbQR
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0whHOPTb1
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTnRPTBOT8
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO86LrwGGvh
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6md5UJGlQ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71MjLS9gkP
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMUjpk92Y7
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcpbnwncsA
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4JvbSwuzy
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tzVGklHui
"I won't."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR8x2Q9sVv
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxC1O9xIYp
He obeys, watching me soberly.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUS8mZn2yw
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k4q4bK898
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLIEErfJhN
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TpSyzUNHf
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlufqKxIuEr
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7clsOqOof
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxV56Zfmi6
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTEdgzBmL
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiX7RUG0EL
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVTcIPDYo5
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xobjhUn6D
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWhrY9fh4q
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR80tguNhT
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gS6qWDOU8
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKZOtJaOoP
He tries to nod but he can't.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtkb8QOZjd
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbFsTZsZWb
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vV5V72N2R
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwBvFe7vg5
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY7QJULNx7
He looks up into mine.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqYUk1pZMt
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8xUSa5HKN
"Don't leave me." He whispers.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9odfr8LKhw
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFpVCgrTE
"Stay awake." I tell him.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu9wXGvE4L
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ysGPdTzb
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NaV7geHlP
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8sIv2C4Iv
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoCZWK40cg
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKB6UFyRM8
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmOkR4kwSJ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7re4jLWsZv
He doesn't reply.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUiPLl8hI3
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI3IsZ2MH4
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw07uUUGiJf
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd9g4C6mGL
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwCKpsruzZ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tsgz8aPdi
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oqzWxNW8Y
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMpCFyq2ht
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPBIYedKBj
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ746uVhMH0U
"Stay awake." I told him softly.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qLfwGeBcD
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI9vYedfvp
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJAPi3Wz8u
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13wtPu50w7
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3QBEki1FN
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5wvjcOE6T
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1IYcTR3bb
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIFI7M93yM
"Kiss me," he repeats.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03kotb6Lsd
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP5djb1drQ
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLMCvpRvH
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8TBYRqDHW
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrXIFzfETl
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vMSqPNwFF
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX7idcQOvA
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPsJp8f77B
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWZyL2T2QS
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2xdPlBuTA
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9LP3RyxH1
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1i93W6RSc
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38iH8E8J4k
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi0VZH7PEI
Electricity races through me and lingers.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0sFFM8sNR
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1zrkovZNm
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhNXokrhqi
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2GzkUBGpn
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep55bKhLMZ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hS5I8AL3U
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0521vHwgm
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYxAGSbfGp
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqDA04YCec
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgp7i7v8EY
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07mNLQehaK
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AAKn46qPv
"Jeremy?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ftV1ubdC
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TMa3GGshk
I shake my head, not believing.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fGGmEciBc
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSpWmGDTlg
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ80rBCzoxr
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6GgRGRB9D
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ7g0SvOjj
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yCNXKkhfB
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXtHniXNlG
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWSceuimli
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU38zt4vFKu
