I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.712Please respect copyright.PENANAMpffy1oVsr
He's shaking underneath my grasp.712Please respect copyright.PENANADW30l2hVTo
712Please respect copyright.PENANAeg710bsrx2
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.712Please respect copyright.PENANA78dmsJi1zW
712Please respect copyright.PENANAzwHSu6R0Y2
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.712Please respect copyright.PENANALsG2phpiCT
712Please respect copyright.PENANAIcZJKI9mfQ
I smile bitterly.712Please respect copyright.PENANAMvJ9Y5JKug
712Please respect copyright.PENANAHrbXfbcsy7
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.712Please respect copyright.PENANASlkySS9MZf
712Please respect copyright.PENANAR7hluZWoCc
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.712Please respect copyright.PENANAiuddMSIheQ
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZTCcvFDB0V
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.712Please respect copyright.PENANAnlKq0syJ5a
712Please respect copyright.PENANAfUWSay3BYW
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."712Please respect copyright.PENANAvDvFWTbIkB
712Please respect copyright.PENANAnjUSDsl5C6
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.712Please respect copyright.PENANAlx4Xcto0ak
712Please respect copyright.PENANAbB3EhcuACf
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.712Please respect copyright.PENANAovCE8fsBbO
712Please respect copyright.PENANAdheufv7rmj
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.712Please respect copyright.PENANAqX160mH3Ei
712Please respect copyright.PENANAWd2EQpaNFv
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.712Please respect copyright.PENANA9Kvd6Qjwln
712Please respect copyright.PENANA51hpetos4P
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.712Please respect copyright.PENANAhiSyvmeSUW
712Please respect copyright.PENANASpUB9XhyIl
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.712Please respect copyright.PENANAM9XcrvdoZe
712Please respect copyright.PENANAuMlac1cSid
I must at all cost keep him awake.712Please respect copyright.PENANA2HVniCkyx8
712Please respect copyright.PENANAvRBlz0gNJa
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"712Please respect copyright.PENANAykjZfIHcOx
712Please respect copyright.PENANASj8tOorpoC
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.712Please respect copyright.PENANArcqYQFjogP
712Please respect copyright.PENANAu3a6ahVtMy
"Not that long baby I promise."712Please respect copyright.PENANAhBnT154OQX
712Please respect copyright.PENANAqjV3ADEuDy
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.712Please respect copyright.PENANAtCg0eNp0nt
712Please respect copyright.PENANAjwfsJiZ3BN
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.712Please respect copyright.PENANAtjgtOjOwhw
712Please respect copyright.PENANA7yN3iVgAQ9
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.712Please respect copyright.PENANASYufttIHHs
712Please respect copyright.PENANAyQxBpbtOyx
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.712Please respect copyright.PENANAA5WjcMJJ12
712Please respect copyright.PENANAvOPz2YWuc8
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.712Please respect copyright.PENANAkXu5f0bA5q
712Please respect copyright.PENANA2RbGM28GYn
I frown at him.712Please respect copyright.PENANAflzysqTOkY
712Please respect copyright.PENANAgJXzNKDR5R
"Don't say that."712Please respect copyright.PENANAqiieoIQsQH
712Please respect copyright.PENANAme4gBkbkRN
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.712Please respect copyright.PENANA1EtjaJXrai
712Please respect copyright.PENANAbVexsE1cTK
I gasp.712Please respect copyright.PENANAZVzGfgzMri
712Please respect copyright.PENANANSqdeu7rvf
"Jere stop!"712Please respect copyright.PENANARPsgUK5pK7
712Please respect copyright.PENANAb1zb895L3e
He goes on.712Please respect copyright.PENANA9oKd2HmTup
712Please respect copyright.PENANA2NnIMJynXi
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.712Please respect copyright.PENANAXSfMSd8sOP
712Please respect copyright.PENANAGHUNzvfsVK
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.712Please respect copyright.PENANAXTIW0TRVU1
712Please respect copyright.PENANAEqrtuV4trX
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"712Please respect copyright.PENANAlel6HS0cht
712Please respect copyright.PENANAEUgj55Grad
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.712Please respect copyright.PENANAJgPMZObLnO
712Please respect copyright.PENANARx1SmcA8In
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.712Please respect copyright.PENANAAj7pQhKIrQ
712Please respect copyright.PENANAF0Z4EPNWb5
"I won't."712Please respect copyright.PENANApXtdP8xAM8
712Please respect copyright.PENANAd3a53Q1lfa
He obeys, watching me soberly.712Please respect copyright.PENANAIQKkyN85o0
712Please respect copyright.PENANAe5mSiggCpb
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.712Please respect copyright.PENANAKGr5UjnaFR
712Please respect copyright.PENANAXqJvh1wLV1
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.712Please respect copyright.PENANAcWry6WWNh2
712Please respect copyright.PENANAAycbF7xnBk
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.712Please respect copyright.PENANAmHSBUAfTmr
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.712Please respect copyright.PENANA7cZSqvHdgw
712Please respect copyright.PENANAXdKR9FI2ey
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.712Please respect copyright.PENANAwjcpdwqaZB
712Please respect copyright.PENANAJxaUlDnehP
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.712Please respect copyright.PENANACRxOc0Zabo
712Please respect copyright.PENANALWd3YdMCtF
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"712Please respect copyright.PENANAYWoqIM4o4h
712Please respect copyright.PENANAY3M8gO5jew
He tries to nod but he can't.712Please respect copyright.PENANAqUMXOxt89O
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.712Please respect copyright.PENANApU2oElwg4N
712Please respect copyright.PENANAjeJQvH3PUG
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.712Please respect copyright.PENANAQJOsSG4rgp
712Please respect copyright.PENANA2HrJD5NCYw
He looks up into mine.712Please respect copyright.PENANAf8PPjY9wXM
712Please respect copyright.PENANA8GyOBvlIeH
"Don't leave me." He whispers.712Please respect copyright.PENANAGctcvYuHep
712Please respect copyright.PENANATobR9gi6Ag
"Stay awake." I tell him.712Please respect copyright.PENANAwZSBMXR4ux
712Please respect copyright.PENANAi2UYHT0ylu
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.712Please respect copyright.PENANAFndtDFzlby
712Please respect copyright.PENANAG9urVnjqmz
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.712Please respect copyright.PENANAam6ao5C3om
712Please respect copyright.PENANAApOIZAisCl
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"712Please respect copyright.PENANA48CcoHEDYn
712Please respect copyright.PENANAvG2Z0luV94
He doesn't reply.712Please respect copyright.PENANA3lFTTTbRMU
712Please respect copyright.PENANAVslau0obHX
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.712Please respect copyright.PENANAWTfM90LD8v
712Please respect copyright.PENANANp7t0I5XS9
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.712Please respect copyright.PENANA3jAu9iTvq2
712Please respect copyright.PENANAHNN50GR9gq
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"712Please respect copyright.PENANAG0RFkCL9WY
712Please respect copyright.PENANAgwaVDk9x6T
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.712Please respect copyright.PENANABxXqhcCImS
712Please respect copyright.PENANANCMETtZs4J
"Stay awake." I told him softly.712Please respect copyright.PENANA5xScDReZF7
712Please respect copyright.PENANAwHo3VMZn9X
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.712Please respect copyright.PENANA5CnjcnwLcE
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZdvDuApL26
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.712Please respect copyright.PENANAQECqhN0O8K
712Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Cz6Ixwsf
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.712Please respect copyright.PENANAuLUHcfdYeK
712Please respect copyright.PENANAbBiTwsTDuJ
"Kiss me," he repeats.712Please respect copyright.PENANA0TuM0Gmghw
712Please respect copyright.PENANAQWFIoDoWmR
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.712Please respect copyright.PENANA2IhLcodmNV
712Please respect copyright.PENANA6sRHFD68DW
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.712Please respect copyright.PENANAHMgdLtwmtf
712Please respect copyright.PENANARj72sBwFHN
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.712Please respect copyright.PENANAMsVozI8meb
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZTmoUSNdNj
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.712Please respect copyright.PENANA0jeD9uD9FI
712Please respect copyright.PENANANfIrvHq22W
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.712Please respect copyright.PENANAcWPiFo130N
712Please respect copyright.PENANAVANJG3yGoO
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.712Please respect copyright.PENANA1LuoGxq3KR
712Please respect copyright.PENANAr6cqkM3HGU
Electricity races through me and lingers.712Please respect copyright.PENANA3A1krhw0sH
712Please respect copyright.PENANAuOyJhV3vto
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.712Please respect copyright.PENANAKM26AIA1f0
712Please respect copyright.PENANADaB1QjqTnc
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.712Please respect copyright.PENANArVnx1MAvoU
712Please respect copyright.PENANA8WRzaMl3MW
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.712Please respect copyright.PENANABuUvqUEYwL
712Please respect copyright.PENANAH4GxP02MJb
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.712Please respect copyright.PENANArE8pRWPJBy
712Please respect copyright.PENANA1Iw8S0xRDu
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.712Please respect copyright.PENANAgotktfa69M
712Please respect copyright.PENANA0uI1GLnGr9
"Jeremy?"712Please respect copyright.PENANApnfALnebdK
712Please respect copyright.PENANAIwX29xD8aE
I shake my head, not believing.712Please respect copyright.PENANABMab42iO8I
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZiN349HXJu
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"712Please respect copyright.PENANAzfdaE1C1jm
712Please respect copyright.PENANAQ11zFP23wy
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.712Please respect copyright.PENANAFtMC3BEs2h
712Please respect copyright.PENANAPe9PoebgWQ
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.712Please respect copyright.PENANAU3zjuNYOvU
712Please respect copyright.PENANA6oB25hzmSn
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAzWBJaAQp5F
712Please respect copyright.PENANAkrtkgcMaUK
