JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaj87EUymo
He's shaking underneath my grasp.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKyOLDFztZ
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsJ1PZoMx2
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKZbUSKI6N
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSL8Y0JLrE
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGxkS1hcKv
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByw5WMN0e3
I smile bitterly.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0oKi2GoO3
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4RdBXIZ4A
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBIB3dhzXk
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi15gHKXAN
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMGEbRLraQ
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZn00NyvyM
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlbaBVh0db
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxS6DLklEC
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ4WLCxQuY
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNyhrRUUNP
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiDn9jHxFV
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg0gN6WIcT
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvoofVX2hK
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLdkJvjdYz
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.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa2RbWsuBK
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7fvFEn2mD
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVMUh5cw5p
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4pUVbdt5e
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyBi86Ac68
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39ScWBreC
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8TR5W0BV0
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmaS9W1XhB
I must at all cost keep him awake.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieedAW8BY4
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Pkq42LcT
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMopx2u41E3
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4iTJBh6t0
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgsg387hM7
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSPpSKlyce
"Not that long baby I promise."758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ORJ4Vjz7i
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym8Omu0hkI
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLXERgvOKI
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdwF2luXFT
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv9O6pu7Dr
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVqPIfma3o
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiRSTp05px
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZD9f0fSO
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV17Wa5svB
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaYixYTSFq
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjAgqcOO0v
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVAcEqrBn8
I frown at him.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvbfp6TzPS
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0jriPZl3w
"Don't say that."758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdpLOJOxuf
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPkacW3N3G
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8dgIEZF7B
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NQyeKnyOg
I gasp.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qpRHcTnME
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSmaOXiWsL
"Jere stop!"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGJPwqWKG2
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KkTZRRiFM
He goes on.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV23eQUN4R9
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8rpr7HOzQ
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5j56B9uC0
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPvnJ1kPFb
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCTlR6wKe7
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QFLEK4BOz
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSegHSdn8ME
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKGr39w77e
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMMlnqyrC3
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s2jSk1bQV
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelI95VNHrE
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueR7TchAST
"I won't."758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC8GAf9eOy
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM2MUaowQY
He obeys, watching me soberly.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX7LY6Noha
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ476K4Fadn
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8nN47lUci
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LKPRFOKAE
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQlhTijsRG
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUiwzwEKjq
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vpLahjDmn
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrDWnsjLhy
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfg75faw7C
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDbI848nfn
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CKvVc1hlW
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UF1HmxOxu
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAloEwUT3G
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuhn8f9ISr
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY3u23DPKh
He tries to nod but he can't.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSDkzi1oiS
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO056TKlMTE
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziKNf17B3V
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa56S2mTlR
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1FZ6EFd34
He looks up into mine.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4GD171Agf
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0BautqJ2
"Don't leave me." He whispers.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP0rrjsDpR
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWulfJ7lRgJ
"Stay awake." I tell him.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpJr2neN39
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdLN2N6fgF
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4v9DFPAs4
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73r8RPFm2M
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92hdNle8NT
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXm1tHcyiW
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPegyO9gOF
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtuMDSFiVw
He doesn't reply.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL36cTeOav4
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNELN0U1iz
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSlE7zZ00C
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7978SpudZ
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqdpL36NUI
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7l7deVrKT
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvzg3IfOXz
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcC8j5e5U
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJMRaCZ3IA
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZBpvXQAZs
"Stay awake." I told him softly.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIe0JBuB2b
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMetO6bVHf
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHOeLBJUIF
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9Hkj6muJ
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQryv09eEM
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYbmCXoVGD
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TrthX0CoD
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVzOrfJTYR
"Kiss me," he repeats.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfZIOzmspR
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqHyF1o4Bv
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXpjpYRAxd
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXm1tWvUlA
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY83NUiY7sN
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Npg5tJ9a
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY00UjqD9lf
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bFmMYpkJs
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCPqxnNrJT
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsqEf6Juae
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaPJ1uAMpu
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0OHciGO51
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYZK7A9rBh
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qHBUIAMxz
Electricity races through me and lingers.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRt0ziSczX
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm32aRhrB2
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1CitTzDbQ
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUfucfRocM
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvumBVdwP4T
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phGDjx3nn
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aFuiwq0WU
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEPIJ0Fsql
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbajwM4Txi
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmQZmEKZxq
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZDA6JNR0I
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK8CbjVK8W
"Jeremy?"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRrYC1x8G
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiOxf0vp0V
I shake my head, not believing.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDbhWnkYgT
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Zlb7HcYB
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWqQH7dbg
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0xfbZbiqI
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TgtgJkOlD
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVojkkw4nx
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG4cAQsjFZ
758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOgW69JzBh
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 758Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcLV5QjkhH
