JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dWD1rJRRE
He's shaking underneath my grasp.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3EiDEpFmc
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe0nHXp87W
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF51xZtCKtL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh9vaaNMtB
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWMLhYzL5k
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroIf7tCxHP
I smile bitterly.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEUHu4VBex
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk3bLKMWBD
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsWo3J992Q
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKSaetGELi
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsPugor892
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPtVds2ukR
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MV2thV3Q6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXI0XB3jb
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffwVVBPH5B
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndPin7kPMP
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTotmAnAc4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGCJZ5p88
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQuEver51U
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13sZam0I8u
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfZywbokB4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz1x9VFjqJ
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbyLTACYkm
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2tyenIaGP
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJDlgxCYQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1858cRZkP
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkVaAWZHWB
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4NLLc7hPa
I must at all cost keep him awake.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyDxgzkx4I
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiZF5R3rI8
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJQ36vJNf
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fjBkj9vHr
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaMNIP55K5
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAb04EqchS
"Not that long baby I promise."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4THuBkHeAG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ErMMXx5O5
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo1XgmmsZ2
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ5W1xo0Zl
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDYv32WeI7
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPS9N5plGC
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxyOXnKqDR
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkriNqOyaA
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TkHcdA3Iw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ6QzN8wKb
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNHg8D6Li
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltRzDViruO
I frown at him.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAJE9rXR64
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTAOEQq7OE
"Don't say that."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYEliaE0O3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SHza2jXG8
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UYU9I1ZpN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVoCRTYe7A
I gasp.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HgVNE2l1l
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PMWlhaifN
"Jere stop!"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqe9CShkbK
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVgsfL6yJG
He goes on.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQK4d3up06
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEkZGtjm68
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAM9qbn2Mc
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvAt89QH07
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC1cJB6CxT
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gNVGOcTT7
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUUkjwOb05
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLXyVl1W9D
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVK4WVNhkf
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xzEU85UpI
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyV02KtNp5
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXZMHFwsiI
"I won't."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeigMtV9Jb
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySXtWjPPqO
He obeys, watching me soberly.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvYOoLM54N
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcKQaiFCjQ
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ0O5mu5g3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqAMr5IgTY
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPbiRMXKSv
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KOUUMSAhs
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo03jFQVA6
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNuNF7wNJl
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35EB8o8qOV
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uq6HjpbBu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJNV1R7DvR
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ06o65MoMY
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK8JOZsB6J
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBQtgnVrxN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SNsAXjRlN
He tries to nod but he can't.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpykkgRMtr
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpuTlpBdhD
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28zFnhHcJb
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV7wOzg5ZE
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Stw5xhC0
He looks up into mine.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNoRMQkoZX
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgR8KrMj2M
"Don't leave me." He whispers.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6xpRCEO12
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IzSozTyBQ
"Stay awake." I tell him.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0hTuIZSzC
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHSdjVfuz9
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQq8yTOY3P
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EKYBEhDXV
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQkeHTC8r
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFklBGqOAsy
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJCeLzSZMF
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopd3Uyn5aM
He doesn't reply.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdKHsNzlYt
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CWZyzdWid
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIWoBkYJSS
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIARuLN7vA
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLniJ3BDc5c
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywzkulJuy6
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweJRbI4Ido
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi2GnSfldK
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BQnHGBDcp
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU6o6zVrAb
"Stay awake." I told him softly.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFYUntpQ7q
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjekY9xdJIz
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUhbqMVUjN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDag5wQ5MU
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCDIsyEpMN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhUHIwaotQ
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVr4BFoPL1
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC0x2EN0bW
"Kiss me," he repeats.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOkC6jVwCH
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9vYecLJIc
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBUVa2f9yU
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfC0f51n8H
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IyjoAavBW
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoumb5BeEgz
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsexai2xN6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre5hzBKLlN
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJTEZPfagk
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwPravYgYh
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLrHs8q8D0
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NJ8nY4HlA
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhbZpVtOwZ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG56y0rTct
Electricity races through me and lingers.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ0EetyvON
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0shCpHef29
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDSxzFy5y1
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4W587wnmm
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcY7Fi43qV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3XoYGuNH4
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljEhr9jMBd
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB585Fl6hm
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SCBAi6c1T
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTh910KgZX
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUASYcHEvFZ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXKNj6YQRy
"Jeremy?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aCCqwPrMu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQmFsS5nai
I shake my head, not believing.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwDHdctFQk
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnhh72TQgO
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH27NZuxou
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRe2jBH2ji
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlhRsjx4VJ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0wJjnDl8n
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSdTqlVymM
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp3pj5YJiR
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4GfZz1NUS
