JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkMAUdnBjS
He's shaking underneath my grasp.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX7UkIvzRc
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQXBmHkvcX
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTn2ICRYca
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkqx0gHpVy
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x6CjuRNOf
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVX5paOPwf
I smile bitterly.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB59fPvx4fx
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhxPQJ8jjs
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWOleN4iNf
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ZeTgSUwZ
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PJh0tktrD
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O5PxYTs1l
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT0DQy2pD8
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaEHuxTZdi
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN7K5ZyYJ8
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVSeLzKkgh
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpSdPzIBo2
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUOSu2NDr
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlEFeicW5q
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg6LcsNQTn
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMUxdrL6Wq
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlgAdlJY3
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX8tPN178A
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrGrvGNQpj
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DIxeA7Nue
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb3m47Nw0f
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp69OM3qfb
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkwlqB5sO4
I must at all cost keep him awake.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGIotfypwD
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOpvx1Wppg
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsFzkzm9pV
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G3k0fCNlk
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKOTvwdWIS
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBtUEkhgOk
"Not that long baby I promise."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxL1jfgxgR
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PnYZYT82B
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyGWdeNGyc
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGskujNqz8z
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUPRkXIvG8
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXnCytD9xX
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHu4p4B0gR
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjtgxIyWMU
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIsGG0nneN
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq0JpqCCJO
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1i2ajDJ3y
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTAPLoCh14
I frown at him.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXuOsaaGWn
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA01owYNCD
"Don't say that."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtatG96ggRc
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxRsVBIMxK
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFjYUTMBAD
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgjNJQgXz7
I gasp.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGhPyPNRck
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YT0dx8sMj
"Jere stop!"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj7nGcwabp
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqG83k3WID
He goes on.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSIO70vt2b
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOVC3BWFx7
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG02A849yKm
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjRYrZCJTl
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIk7A4ayJI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew7UZB3Ens
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U8eOiZ0DN
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrzlxJEW82
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToInffJVs5
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixwhqKIG2c
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyyP15B9Qb
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocitjNDwwf
"I won't."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2usfxczCB
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNj1nFC8AD
He obeys, watching me soberly.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFUYvioLal
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PTwT3XOx0
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RlVQCfy6L
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYYbSVUBFj
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXRex4sIgn
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbeaiF0a8O
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Wg0z2DQf
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITT51Qqz9R
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1WUFrzZEl
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI2rjcaty6
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpToA3o2xi
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAH5gpBC0i
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADuAoa0rdj
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf8gqdkdjq
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXptYJw6H7
He tries to nod but he can't.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJJSjb5yht
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTjbuJ12Qh
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf4C0wh2q2
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RcUsgdkEH
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92PCsmR03Z
He looks up into mine.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCVlKVwFWC
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNXxUY82cJ
"Don't leave me." He whispers.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV4BwN7YY7
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgehRACH1jf
"Stay awake." I tell him.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeqDDKTvI7
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MxT16QHcf
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm1dOHpYv8
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyYeXaAB1p
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE1zHSNKH4
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLEWsr4Y0A
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhSXptuLPn
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi694mZlPVn
He doesn't reply.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOFS5yYaEP
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzNotfa24x
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8rqcan2bI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZgx23GOGR
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPhS3ArUlc
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0etNblor
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRUEe5ExC6
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnQlxd6quo
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahYya3IcdI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NSfqWiYb7
"Stay awake." I told him softly.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S609ApYjj
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRdLMpPDv9
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYeQArplkX
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm47NwGzay
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3k5LC0psM
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgArUuNHAb
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OIeavW8tI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwUdJYz3zH
"Kiss me," he repeats.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcGLKmIafL
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatwKyM0vR4
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXRNKCMZ32
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMN0fMDeRE
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVdf2elExJ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCpUqgWssS
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX6tVMCn5m
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjhFeWnghI
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIEhDKyFu9
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEB040JZPt
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhpcyV5qwE
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwvBYn3luD
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ilFC52MOq
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83XI3GFH41
Electricity races through me and lingers.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH4beWezq2
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgCqeUx4Vz
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtECpWsgOT
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGVkRlxtgx
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbtWM0lZti
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyvU72UcC0
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u3UoFVChE
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSAgda9ael
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGFqSNw3Et
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyXoDwjmuQ
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQnyVY3YWK
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWReYIny2X
"Jeremy?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k71hMFqEd
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanON859Xnc
I shake my head, not believing.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSmb2ikQdJ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo1wdPG7L8
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAyRhAVXMz
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2LVqoC7Ka
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUE1GXooTi
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEXlKJsQZc
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CLvDljTTb
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppD1tSJnaN
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8isyDYRt4
