JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTTbF4yPSq
He's shaking underneath my grasp.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYknhUYuEc
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu8f7NUWGe
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqlz73NFmD
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphzZF3sK6G
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpMc60Jdso
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk6ociSqnu
I smile bitterly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sHkrt6c4
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OiLfmwDvB
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFpmzpM0xB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRxmNnVkyf
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG0X5vnTO8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFsf7RwiqI
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR5e6h74RG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDwhnL9h1G
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73sksYl34u
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxMcHIJ2gn
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc0HIyA0bE
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NQeB9Paxn
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70l2KfnX9v
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjjNa0bG8Q
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr868hQMrBb
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Qw1ChodP
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14AQY5aPYo
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr6ZCU8iRM
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzVfSpG1MV
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYdmhKj71q
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDH3amWmUb
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoto8ly7Qt
I must at all cost keep him awake.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtMj9xZ52m
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV0UAtoZbU
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2klOTLAys
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gKUDmIJRx
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHesnxnWM8d
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrvBmGQghH
"Not that long baby I promise."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbaFvCyN9C
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDzwlwrn4p
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqBLJoKG0G
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrsjJTdEK
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDz0GTtEr7
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowVgO8ksYo
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSACgHReFVh
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xx1k7ora0
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxVS8eXbgo
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGZtKPLhq7
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW9yiCpqPW
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztCN0SvjeZ
I frown at him.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22xcbMiydO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F0FODSJBi
"Don't say that."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPcbisHVd6
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AWZrDbS3k
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadvxtyKqtF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulagKHunwc
I gasp.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsLVFJ9MmX
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV4gUx7DAM
"Jere stop!"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYkN3k2DyH
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa5Qllf7AR
He goes on.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe3o4qBTqa
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs8I5klmyF
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCacsrQFj
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjwEPFWZoA
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7IfqkuT0d
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG2Qg9vmxW
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgRxFhP1uS
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSUC9PqtUl
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuZtesxUQ2
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN9R4LD0RP
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEI2RQZtLZ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZAsodvErt
"I won't."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRXlcgkfMn
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5BBbGuifg
He obeys, watching me soberly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB1bkV74Gp
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ncKwVDTfN
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFLiTP354e
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnfiHVt4B
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYcIWGRtpQ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQrcMYOmsc
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ZrKd8Wsu
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFN61ok7Z
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kM1rCrdCV
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRf6SFLmaE
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HbOBy2PVA
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR28o6So7p
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MsAlFOY08
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6fALV5Gog
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mCSGQEQEa
He tries to nod but he can't.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybiIWNiome
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD9MZiFCeJ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE7ZPM4Pqu
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKDJ7MXoTq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkEE9rYfPd
He looks up into mine.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUDoASbXcA
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUTdvOYxv9
"Don't leave me." He whispers.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nizdnt8ud
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S8BoUUhUU
"Stay awake." I tell him.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKRoDQcmGU
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2obkWnLAIR
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfngFUZvG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTL96LLCm2
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEewyp1txYn
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTS1ZuGFwh
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxk3Ue57kD
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jBjY6Kj83
He doesn't reply.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiG96HjQet
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WEo8fiQUi
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7uv2d2O3P
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3mlSM0XFx
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA2YMjkFdU
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDReLJGcuG
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOQ38ZtEnR
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBmRqfoN79
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn7zIPWPru
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdZ6P0ljHr
"Stay awake." I told him softly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm5kIqOqeY
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZF91xRdVT
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq9m04hZ5k
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4BEpzSiag
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPUlM9jZo8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALKFF0btX9
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFstVjTGUZb
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl7Jguzeni
"Kiss me," he repeats.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO8CbyMJKP
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCFNqGYogQ
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg8pkRU9Pq
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Hj2W6pnd
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDuOMeZdiF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl1rzVPVhj
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZiATP6uyJ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh84XZDOBf
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEZHZT6WdA
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3OZEEgUq
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vDLf20U4N
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILuvYJn1HJ
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiO94HaTI8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6duV3dHmQ
Electricity races through me and lingers.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmSkk8rpzO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2rfvEzbio
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzuq5jzJW1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bhLU4gH2O
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSBCAo4phz
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzKmVFqytN
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuOvMLdQdK
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9IRh8cwVF
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLzYodjZkE
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcjqSFk6OG
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1VHs9RJH3
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV3dctpcqo
"Jeremy?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUEgr5KiTC
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFWEUNmIKz
I shake my head, not believing.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinQr39hM8U
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypTZOAnIyZ
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bOLvORABV
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOKgwAsebq
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3uLNQQ4Sb
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8aID9H2rE
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1EAYSHvfZ
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28THl4JtJV
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbHdG5mESs
