I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.643Please respect copyright.PENANAWBaYMicOy4
He's shaking underneath my grasp.643Please respect copyright.PENANAps7ZgD1RCj
643Please respect copyright.PENANAej5ZtDqhlm
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.643Please respect copyright.PENANASwEJs25Thb
643Please respect copyright.PENANAqLmPhgvqqF
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.643Please respect copyright.PENANANUmyDVo8JP
643Please respect copyright.PENANA14451tt8DK
I smile bitterly.643Please respect copyright.PENANAznfxIEr01N
643Please respect copyright.PENANAaYxyCsyUYP
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.643Please respect copyright.PENANA4R93DBvZIS
643Please respect copyright.PENANAjC8bKwg1nU
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.643Please respect copyright.PENANAT20Ecvaeh3
643Please respect copyright.PENANAS37DWeHuqu
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.643Please respect copyright.PENANAOaHdPQhtns
643Please respect copyright.PENANAXmawdpR33b
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."643Please respect copyright.PENANA2aKgXwfTL7
643Please respect copyright.PENANA7IHlKkqOlm
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.643Please respect copyright.PENANABDCAfAgtQZ
643Please respect copyright.PENANAaaHeKdcBqn
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.643Please respect copyright.PENANAhlTHenSdRF
643Please respect copyright.PENANA838Evqfe5R
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.643Please respect copyright.PENANAk9SD5X0XXM
643Please respect copyright.PENANABAGxw08DyB
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.643Please respect copyright.PENANAJuKe7iSmRw
643Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0kWh5PV5n
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.643Please respect copyright.PENANAOjiTjxcUtw
643Please respect copyright.PENANAYj5KDFD4Wh
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.643Please respect copyright.PENANA1YTlLTS91X
643Please respect copyright.PENANAyVzpknjLNk
I must at all cost keep him awake.643Please respect copyright.PENANALr2X2e04Tc
643Please respect copyright.PENANApOLeXV9NwI
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"643Please respect copyright.PENANAyx7i6Hd3oT
643Please respect copyright.PENANA8UXJCWYA9V
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.643Please respect copyright.PENANANtcBiN17vd
643Please respect copyright.PENANAcvo8InNkl2
"Not that long baby I promise."643Please respect copyright.PENANAc93zQx2IxE
643Please respect copyright.PENANAsjvLWri9Go
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.643Please respect copyright.PENANAXFzGPD5jtV
643Please respect copyright.PENANAfGiM518A7m
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.643Please respect copyright.PENANAke40DbzHPH
643Please respect copyright.PENANADAMBVaBFhX
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.643Please respect copyright.PENANA4RXubRh75t
643Please respect copyright.PENANApAKtpIeTYa
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.643Please respect copyright.PENANAjacH2CMMlI
643Please respect copyright.PENANAWUemtOapmV
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.643Please respect copyright.PENANA9zMFoJo6VB
643Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1qtanWlFC
I frown at him.643Please respect copyright.PENANA4fyrjYu3JB
643Please respect copyright.PENANA7fG7fhDtjq
"Don't say that."643Please respect copyright.PENANA7An8GEVwzs
643Please respect copyright.PENANAsZmKWEZzy4
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.643Please respect copyright.PENANAUkj0evCF1a
643Please respect copyright.PENANAIMzNA2cvWl
I gasp.643Please respect copyright.PENANArXYXTVc0OU
643Please respect copyright.PENANADLrHyoTOD6
"Jere stop!"643Please respect copyright.PENANAJgzL2Dr2la
643Please respect copyright.PENANAFJFvVArWSE
He goes on.643Please respect copyright.PENANAAkDpojrHJa
643Please respect copyright.PENANAmrc4BEsf2O
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.643Please respect copyright.PENANAbDOYNNhLXB
643Please respect copyright.PENANAFf72GzJhra
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.643Please respect copyright.PENANANQ9uOt4m13
643Please respect copyright.PENANAKLTf0pVLdt
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"643Please respect copyright.PENANA6AYE1g86Aj
643Please respect copyright.PENANABgkxOOAvAs
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.643Please respect copyright.PENANA5ytXyD7DPz
643Please respect copyright.PENANAt7lpGedGM2
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.643Please respect copyright.PENANAVcqqpDqRkb
643Please respect copyright.PENANAYGiv0sFyL3
"I won't."643Please respect copyright.PENANAJvoGs2x70i
643Please respect copyright.PENANAUYz720z3HM
He obeys, watching me soberly.643Please respect copyright.PENANA15XxG3iGgg
643Please respect copyright.PENANAKkCMafeZp5
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.643Please respect copyright.PENANA1XDO18J57M
643Please respect copyright.PENANASRYUeqjJjX
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.643Please respect copyright.PENANAYGipXk64MP
643Please respect copyright.PENANAhbgRdj9m5D
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.643Please respect copyright.PENANAmx0DRNMZUV
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.643Please respect copyright.PENANAOJq0B14YPA
643Please respect copyright.PENANAbfPqRiCP6p
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.643Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4yKfS5gZR
643Please respect copyright.PENANAuH7qBMLI7R
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.643Please respect copyright.PENANAi9Rv3HFrwv
643Please respect copyright.PENANACgYDCtWizR
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"643Please respect copyright.PENANAb1zx5vJkyf
643Please respect copyright.PENANAXwzmCdCabF
He tries to nod but he can't.643Please respect copyright.PENANAlbAXsaTZFL
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.643Please respect copyright.PENANA6gkeuDe1aq
643Please respect copyright.PENANA19hiVZkJJ3
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.643Please respect copyright.PENANAnRPJsr2OCo
643Please respect copyright.PENANAatSXSHdPf8
He looks up into mine.643Please respect copyright.PENANA9uvNfpUfIG
643Please respect copyright.PENANAWxOQSP0WC8
"Don't leave me." He whispers.643Please respect copyright.PENANACbiIUAxReD
643Please respect copyright.PENANAYJNZJyrQss
"Stay awake." I tell him.643Please respect copyright.PENANAjrcwAVdpUT
643Please respect copyright.PENANA4h7VvNJl7S
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.643Please respect copyright.PENANAzH7FKUnJiG
643Please respect copyright.PENANADbEFsBzgM7
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.643Please respect copyright.PENANAFoVWAB0Ybk
643Please respect copyright.PENANAVthkyT5scF
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"643Please respect copyright.PENANAInq7vb0P1U
643Please respect copyright.PENANAMwJ7Ru3KL4
He doesn't reply.643Please respect copyright.PENANAG5eXmgeHXv
643Please respect copyright.PENANAGXdLccIW2t
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.643Please respect copyright.PENANAVilzTeYptm
643Please respect copyright.PENANAR1YKJqjo2F
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.643Please respect copyright.PENANA77MgdkLMkq
643Please respect copyright.PENANAOQtd6YeMoE
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"643Please respect copyright.PENANAVGdONaweUh
643Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1doisagGx
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.643Please respect copyright.PENANAGHzGvNepeN
643Please respect copyright.PENANAF0JxbVfrA8
"Stay awake." I told him softly.643Please respect copyright.PENANAfAfaB0fhVY
643Please respect copyright.PENANAmNxmJei4Zw
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.643Please respect copyright.PENANArUuvUd3Mh0
643Please respect copyright.PENANArvzpjQm5kB
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.643Please respect copyright.PENANASGPIVD1JuE
643Please respect copyright.PENANAfMfiAMGrch
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.643Please respect copyright.PENANACjEf2ZZHxZ
643Please respect copyright.PENANAJyRx54JnX0
"Kiss me," he repeats.643Please respect copyright.PENANAKmYx4JvPbP
643Please respect copyright.PENANAPzAmpU0Qrg
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.643Please respect copyright.PENANAqCSmBW3qy8
643Please respect copyright.PENANARUB55HyhyR
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.643Please respect copyright.PENANA1zNh6y2xC5
643Please respect copyright.PENANAYLKKNH5Yey
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.643Please respect copyright.PENANAFKOKSEGOnR
643Please respect copyright.PENANAx7cMaEtJVG
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.643Please respect copyright.PENANAnWNPiVbr4d
643Please respect copyright.PENANASPkeRkiz5m
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.643Please respect copyright.PENANAbt6HeR16sP
643Please respect copyright.PENANAS6FWjQPjtm
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.643Please respect copyright.PENANA8AuubJWZ4g
643Please respect copyright.PENANA9DFopSRcaE
Electricity races through me and lingers.643Please respect copyright.PENANAxHTvx5tkpm
643Please respect copyright.PENANAJJFIlaqeJ7
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.643Please respect copyright.PENANAh38CimR3nT
643Please respect copyright.PENANA1awOA3wiZX
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.643Please respect copyright.PENANAcNMaYUgDyM
643Please respect copyright.PENANAqYW6ezGxdX
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.643Please respect copyright.PENANAx9yy1Teupz
643Please respect copyright.PENANAi51SkP58Yj
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.643Please respect copyright.PENANAEVPMoh6Cfe
643Please respect copyright.PENANAolrZj95MMK
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.643Please respect copyright.PENANA4CjtQGXLmQ
643Please respect copyright.PENANAYFHW39HHhc
"Jeremy?"643Please respect copyright.PENANALpCKVMvGzc
643Please respect copyright.PENANA6ChhEJTdyM
I shake my head, not believing.643Please respect copyright.PENANAJa4WbpEUtC
643Please respect copyright.PENANA6RJNz5MqKL
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"643Please respect copyright.PENANArzvjniaTB9
643Please respect copyright.PENANAPQAvQQa2mp
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.643Please respect copyright.PENANA1O5lUhjp1Q
643Please respect copyright.PENANADymovtYADg
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.643Please respect copyright.PENANAxdUD5Egrie
643Please respect copyright.PENANADMMxnjDjkM
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 643Please respect copyright.PENANAIRbAeaWrHc
643Please respect copyright.PENANA4GzVNYd177
