I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.630Please respect copyright.PENANAUoLfnMc6Gp
He's shaking underneath my grasp.630Please respect copyright.PENANA4H42o0EjSq
630Please respect copyright.PENANAT1v1TPGLMl
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.630Please respect copyright.PENANAlDAjSqMikO
630Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7aAxWWFNK
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.630Please respect copyright.PENANALnaHqhJEwu
630Please respect copyright.PENANAwdecWxHzO8
I smile bitterly.630Please respect copyright.PENANAPoMtxsa3Wm
630Please respect copyright.PENANAt6QnWUGdRL
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.630Please respect copyright.PENANAufxTlXGzFF
630Please respect copyright.PENANAuqXbYpQhqT
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.630Please respect copyright.PENANAcBBWlM5NJ5
630Please respect copyright.PENANAzeRnTSImLm
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.630Please respect copyright.PENANAdsbS8tSn07
630Please respect copyright.PENANAp6nVbEAhMP
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."630Please respect copyright.PENANAXdBB0tfXfm
630Please respect copyright.PENANAlMaFOPVfgb
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.630Please respect copyright.PENANAA4ZYSvB5tw
630Please respect copyright.PENANABBlPjgYFqZ
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.630Please respect copyright.PENANA4B0jlq5tdH
630Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xn7CopKxC
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.630Please respect copyright.PENANABuxU3q9qwd
630Please respect copyright.PENANAfQHP9qmd7B
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.630Please respect copyright.PENANAk0a5srqRNH
630Please respect copyright.PENANAOXTkmxVLc3
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.630Please respect copyright.PENANAzbVAzTSknB
630Please respect copyright.PENANApow3fzOuqc
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.630Please respect copyright.PENANApLuXyegjJM
630Please respect copyright.PENANAhBGKJQcgNy
I must at all cost keep him awake.630Please respect copyright.PENANAxFKx3eBn5Y
630Please respect copyright.PENANAjIlvwLVooT
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAFWsZeemra1
630Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q5JocZYwl
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.630Please respect copyright.PENANAixX6xWGJhE
630Please respect copyright.PENANA1IGq2D0lIN
"Not that long baby I promise."630Please respect copyright.PENANAWRubVY1NIy
630Please respect copyright.PENANAfgbxQ87ErS
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.630Please respect copyright.PENANAKP6KTYnrv3
630Please respect copyright.PENANAlvopC2ZbDc
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.630Please respect copyright.PENANA5Oba6L66UH
630Please respect copyright.PENANAW94QNo1tJz
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.630Please respect copyright.PENANAwHdKX65qJO
630Please respect copyright.PENANAonXs0ZXozH
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.630Please respect copyright.PENANA2WMnlhRvBh
630Please respect copyright.PENANAnhnFy633Co
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.630Please respect copyright.PENANA990grOWI9a
630Please respect copyright.PENANA0tu5XtQ9we
I frown at him.630Please respect copyright.PENANAisnsWyayL4
630Please respect copyright.PENANA2utu1EeJIa
"Don't say that."630Please respect copyright.PENANA5xZcYWfKog
630Please respect copyright.PENANAg4OOmU8VYN
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.630Please respect copyright.PENANAMe85WSnhwJ
630Please respect copyright.PENANAj6VG1bEwsh
I gasp.630Please respect copyright.PENANA4PquZa7tEe
630Please respect copyright.PENANA8dfJiJWBEp
"Jere stop!"630Please respect copyright.PENANAxPhubM4nvx
630Please respect copyright.PENANAkZQSOshZNg
He goes on.630Please respect copyright.PENANAGdAEWZJvom
630Please respect copyright.PENANAchzJrGGxDr
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.630Please respect copyright.PENANAtkFdAzXa68
630Please respect copyright.PENANA6QCS4CWcHm
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.630Please respect copyright.PENANAnINobH8E5j
630Please respect copyright.PENANA4c8t9SGLYa
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"630Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wk6SfsdXc
630Please respect copyright.PENANAk1vdyhZIPX
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.630Please respect copyright.PENANA9thTcuEIjs
630Please respect copyright.PENANAAPyVzOxXyv
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.630Please respect copyright.PENANA1QOhYs2mhM
630Please respect copyright.PENANA2SPTM9qfOO
"I won't."630Please respect copyright.PENANAZQDX75YSkj
630Please respect copyright.PENANAb7EaMFr12P
He obeys, watching me soberly.630Please respect copyright.PENANAxZBwmyTWx5
630Please respect copyright.PENANA75duAL5Szl
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.630Please respect copyright.PENANArGZFqn5MZN
630Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Ws0PEF4c
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.630Please respect copyright.PENANAYNibodzoYD
630Please respect copyright.PENANAjfy51Ceyco
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.630Please respect copyright.PENANAUqFfvdCVSy
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.630Please respect copyright.PENANAebv96paCIA
630Please respect copyright.PENANANdZ4x2H5kL
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.630Please respect copyright.PENANADur8wvlzXF
630Please respect copyright.PENANALExunGPTYd
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.630Please respect copyright.PENANAHp1fYumG1M
630Please respect copyright.PENANA6be330NKm7
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAmg7vAU1bAz
630Please respect copyright.PENANA6dNH1RJKxv
He tries to nod but he can't.630Please respect copyright.PENANABKXeYY1pAP
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.630Please respect copyright.PENANAuKhZO0RbZf
630Please respect copyright.PENANAaogxNEBqOK
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.630Please respect copyright.PENANAWm91o278Qo
630Please respect copyright.PENANA4lu3AmICT8
He looks up into mine.630Please respect copyright.PENANAJErSSFWrNH
630Please respect copyright.PENANA0CzWhP2iVY
"Don't leave me." He whispers.630Please respect copyright.PENANApAqrVOrqkS
630Please respect copyright.PENANAwRaqL2OAYp
"Stay awake." I tell him.630Please respect copyright.PENANAxWQUwxzHWd
630Please respect copyright.PENANAVZi5juZdmF
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.630Please respect copyright.PENANAfZJMfzBBxx
630Please respect copyright.PENANANXvArk3mSy
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.630Please respect copyright.PENANAg5W7PNi3Pp
630Please respect copyright.PENANApT5sLnnRq4
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAwL3O5wa2uN
630Please respect copyright.PENANAax3SJdIZRC
He doesn't reply.630Please respect copyright.PENANAxhsRNR8m5C
630Please respect copyright.PENANAS8AYbQGdAg
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.630Please respect copyright.PENANAbGoWduLwO0
630Please respect copyright.PENANAj8SgqpEJgn
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.630Please respect copyright.PENANASYDU7JvXzR
630Please respect copyright.PENANAFXnRgpUlw3
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"630Please respect copyright.PENANAOMX5i2vt9v
630Please respect copyright.PENANAz0jyYydN1G
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.630Please respect copyright.PENANAwE7tdlgOmo
630Please respect copyright.PENANA27KFFH2Tin
"Stay awake." I told him softly.630Please respect copyright.PENANAV87gm8Tkrs
630Please respect copyright.PENANA4lfEgVMnrl
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.630Please respect copyright.PENANAiDGPnKaDoy
630Please respect copyright.PENANAJlG4N2t6wv
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.630Please respect copyright.PENANA63bjk7dUSG
630Please respect copyright.PENANAIOotE8UCY0
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.630Please respect copyright.PENANAI4G7wLph8s
630Please respect copyright.PENANAvML0y0Jp44
"Kiss me," he repeats.630Please respect copyright.PENANAkb9pVwYeVK
630Please respect copyright.PENANAHVAbn4ouFP
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.630Please respect copyright.PENANAWv6ixWrAi9
630Please respect copyright.PENANAT1OOYZgEJV
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.630Please respect copyright.PENANAy4PLkdjcEb
630Please respect copyright.PENANAztfEDeKD9Q
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.630Please respect copyright.PENANA5iwYnv7jKl
630Please respect copyright.PENANAfqn4jDM81s
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.630Please respect copyright.PENANARw2IyIESRy
630Please respect copyright.PENANAcG8FnO11Aj
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.630Please respect copyright.PENANAuyfctpyH7w
630Please respect copyright.PENANAxQD5KPkuoP
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.630Please respect copyright.PENANA5RRu8czoke
630Please respect copyright.PENANAUksEUKa1QK
Electricity races through me and lingers.630Please respect copyright.PENANA5RAtN2cC54
630Please respect copyright.PENANAxWKCaOf2KT
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.630Please respect copyright.PENANA6hFcaYN1rf
630Please respect copyright.PENANA5wxn69FQEa
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.630Please respect copyright.PENANAI7VpIepg5J
630Please respect copyright.PENANAvhA4UqOje2
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.630Please respect copyright.PENANAwXx7Q54Omr
630Please respect copyright.PENANAHuzxUmWG8B
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.630Please respect copyright.PENANAuknmC5ivNt
630Please respect copyright.PENANAz5uyDLFFJV
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.630Please respect copyright.PENANAMONABrOrAo
630Please respect copyright.PENANAoPgnbPYV8e
"Jeremy?"630Please respect copyright.PENANAyNQ9X3ND4J
630Please respect copyright.PENANA0wlbnvYtJv
I shake my head, not believing.630Please respect copyright.PENANAfzW0wrmsXJ
630Please respect copyright.PENANAnZkSJFmwXL
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"630Please respect copyright.PENANASZA1wvaBmu
630Please respect copyright.PENANAbcU2ps6IXc
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.630Please respect copyright.PENANAc9NKH1ciPi
630Please respect copyright.PENANADaga8GLoSz
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.630Please respect copyright.PENANAfqEPATAL5Y
630Please respect copyright.PENANATPY9HgLhCu
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 630Please respect copyright.PENANA2llnArvOQV
