JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmftQXtAJGm
He's shaking underneath my grasp.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8GCBaDAkQ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqzFLY4WEV
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nDtEmnXm7
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g3EefC5uz
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02F1iphycK
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcY5sfRvse
I smile bitterly.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjHBsyTIQi
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP20vgl51c
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTJ2jaNj5S
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMl5SetPai
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHl4Ll8A1D
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj77St6u5R
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISErcsfSHT
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjTsZcELmf
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlmRoEeZr8
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwKdDWIo7m
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDXM4sXant
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BDyaQH3cW
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CBONFiZzy
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgWgzg2bI7
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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWzG0ivXz2
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYHIEy7CjL
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVUsMAyDLJ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6jiA9rMC
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrMMN3DGk4
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAUUZvOdxn
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8fOc3SSnf
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDI4Of3jC8
I must at all cost keep him awake.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZn2nUKFs5
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1Wk46hVQW
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lf5LMbXE2
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJINoZThOI9
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98bg6ofnZn
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjh4EkdiG7
"Not that long baby I promise."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mJVVKsrbs
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCIUZgVy5h
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI348eHCqsj
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MiI0TpmQp
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yynEXqkrt
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgLzsXU9Hf
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DrdLClDmh
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PdO6QhIg9
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc63929B171
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GXjepiU0P
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc5t9NokCq
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEiXrYlhev
I frown at him.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7LPO69O7P
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6qmX78EC
"Don't say that."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zMXHEv1i6
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKPvxMsHk1
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9izbmO2ff
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bmQyXllBy
I gasp.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffIjtiRRqd
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIX6ZcuAxX
"Jere stop!"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxSh6Xx7Ke
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrT8Cinlj
He goes on.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAWMzQc1Ba
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdGA7C3Y9A
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG5WtCC1lJ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8UHhPlFQH
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpxsGY6DTR
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQC2FvH012
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdttVidGRHU
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQfp0dCAxg
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi39WptlEg8
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4fW9VPdMt
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhT0EdOpyl
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwetwawyVh7
"I won't."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MVivpP8tY
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN1HxZBdgw
He obeys, watching me soberly.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNppfWuSBjF
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhQKn1WeeZ
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmUIg3VYgl
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUNb4XiWFs
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlc0MNDGmU
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9j8VlorLH
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbKVlW7ASw
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC0796SKsK
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBFGborj5u
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0rSH3ieuZ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxSqaDSTg
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhy3iNcCSW
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidNSsGGh5C
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTZonmIPAL
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FQu1fdx7K
He tries to nod but he can't.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyidcAOkGD
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS739NCRLC
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYbV5FWlWe
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3XWDEWD8A
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKw9qRMjcq
He looks up into mine.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmm545qttp
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0NKirEiPe
"Don't leave me." He whispers.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuhXnSdQFd
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKnrI8HSwU
"Stay awake." I tell him.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkb2Rvq6m4
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Dw80NAqd
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkOZzWedgr
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7emgPYXJC
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdQsmaasgP
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWyitri8LJ
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM601foC9Q1
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6k2Pj4OOE
He doesn't reply.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RfzQLirZC
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHNHWL1kkp
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87HuJzedFb
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxXGjORQVD
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiawi76lpB
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFMqDdLPH6
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKpSBCkFs7
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF0utD8AIg
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWyhkabCkA
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcWCdiApPY
"Stay awake." I told him softly.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DR6lHRRis
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE3qk7NKcz
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhF1yvhmgn
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH4vtaZySA
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfgW3hWOUT
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXB6ntct09
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa6fjbXzAf
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9qOLOKH1P
"Kiss me," he repeats.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ354CIDaH6A
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0qlioaqgK
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO1kMkcfPc
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYPkanzxhf
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY1sWNRMiS
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW8eWTDsol
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeJK68cBcf
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0HiLVAlWt
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGuJuvRzL5
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAEbhLdaZy
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jVsoqmh5y
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoUkFmcmNi
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UbbNuVZR9
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinVAhImEP0
Electricity races through me and lingers.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6xvVEPe0N
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qiMRXQowl
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWaea7RkOY
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFXwWFTKys
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OEdvv9ox4
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnssYuZfnG
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs8149jIr6
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILL1AZevTJ
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqr82MaigQ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRm3YBQtlD
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWHE0blqk0
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuJ5BmkDRP
"Jeremy?"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwhJ1CRGi
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyhCZFeumL
I shake my head, not believing.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIModI6ebj
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXsSAXI3fy
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmJvW4GQbB
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca31t7xFI5
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5jcQdbL3s
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQkHdVBmqk
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX0IjMdRRL
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1iI6LrVqQ
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4aqPfq58y
