JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDTlzqhQXR
He's shaking underneath my grasp.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdputhBoquQ
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDFt5jXdSH
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdV2IxyanL
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPLiTdkeUf
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau25IoHEe6
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvsSVn6iDe
I smile bitterly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNPUVryAqe
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv7OJQ08io
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ohNifL5RO
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt3L2GYg8q
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmFDrFUy6L
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXGA4DXOLV
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsEY6GNKNR
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzYaXCrY1g
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb1bWjJS1Y
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLsCJt9lsr
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhtDi4mhPj
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8D6Pj8CMK
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCBlfu4aaS
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyFzfmnjgn
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.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP1XcmJFFV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU6u8GjKpT
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHpE4ikPXh
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9OvxTeNar
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0MWkmLXLI
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRm3Zdqdtj
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6p17u6Lg9
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGAPvFhf9b
I must at all cost keep him awake.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMaoSAVE4l
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRhkEUoGoU
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDmgZqF6p4
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56efGhwGra
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUlzuwR3bp
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcGR4595ZZ
"Not that long baby I promise."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSqsNHun71
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToD6e6ToQ4
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhisup9fu9P
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLKG0fGY1A
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6sJuflJ9Q
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38eqVDpilZ
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wIrbHXlJl
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwYni88DK3
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDfo8Ozgam
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ9HbFI7K5
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXNuzwXF9G
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EhZwwUYe9
I frown at him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jueazdZt
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3pfoXpndT
"Don't say that."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6DXG9zeTb
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVVIambrhi
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nUtZ48h8R
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDrYx14vLf
I gasp.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWgVhSKUmP
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXhkNLncMw
"Jere stop!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuCtmdUZTD
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq8zZNHbB0
He goes on.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiZX88tNsC
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSECqQUnenB
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbHAXmIySA
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK9MI9n9tR
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrvPHBFK60
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl1JSanQF5
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev0SU2v7Gv
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibjauNgcFC
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PzdnHQ80M
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Gk5YxVGX
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WFz5bPqgs
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEzgj3dGwT
"I won't."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs2BhkBmA3
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfBS1fE5zG
He obeys, watching me soberly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXWMyaFeCo
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o62NwR2iy
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArv2HSB27A
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkOeY0IIs1
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhRuMDkrAr
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vxbWsNrk7
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrsnASxUwl
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiRN9oVmRg
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKiSJ2d55P
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5DHtowAnM
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3sthXgjgi
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIb3ddc9IZ
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlC8im9FKa
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinIEMwtFpP
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBshheT8L
He tries to nod but he can't.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t8I7H9sim
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0maia1FyN
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOUtuF8QDd
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkPZanYVql
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdejn13oW0
He looks up into mine.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo1mDChmeM
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK2tmTMLZA
"Don't leave me." He whispers.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DZdTTyiR0
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiVTWWS7aI
"Stay awake." I tell him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvihuiMIFSI
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhzmiDdzad
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBfXzj44eN
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE36WycJQj
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKGIKRPIRq
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrByUMJeMs
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yi7RubSzN
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPQ9ZpQEnt
He doesn't reply.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWLh1HL53G
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jlYUHNWeO
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXNTH3DRyL
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4l0jiZuCR
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ZZjscr0x
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzReod8Xh4t
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yEnlCirzn
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtleqJ4Dbv
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgJnqlc3pk
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC0t7XSOix
"Stay awake." I told him softly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQfksWJytn
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMznNz56p8Y
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglUUDgKTWl
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXzMIbMNkp
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzEBCn5K9W
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMtNoRI5Lf
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNftpk5r4wu
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPVFdDDpbd
"Kiss me," he repeats.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjiibZCl7G
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudrYXIEytd
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSwJcfJT5w
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcSxBqVqm1
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl7MSZRJNU
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpCJUpR8FO
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs7hdntDFw
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElC90ooy64
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe4ujMX3Yw
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1OuaooGtj
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5V5amZH4e
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJyqampg3q
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9pVd1gjsh
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5oD5fqexs
Electricity races through me and lingers.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKEtB9HY8Y
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTd2rIR9wf
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdl8M3ZFbV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh8LPNYaXW
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxWp6Aa1N
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW4cFaAue8
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSvmcTUgNA
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNHLGzYKJv
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrUPHkgdVD
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSkXVYWeNl
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZj8PX8doG
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVKCgiqIIT
"Jeremy?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37aRY1fIHq
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIK3DGvZWN
I shake my head, not believing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZO4xUpMPT
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRo5ysDgfx
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEwCuevkPM
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY50JftITbH
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5gxeK3BTg
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeoGbx9eU0
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOLHfO9p29
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xygr1wI6t
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXXURbkpyP
