JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwaa8S7m1t
He's shaking underneath my grasp.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvzr3nrdOc
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdWlb8piDU
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6so3Jqgin7
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMoIQrdXXa
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgpBr43NhW
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs0L3QAjJ7
I smile bitterly.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVRLKvGtvn
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8eiJHFc77
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlUIJ0E3ES
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYrJSqklJC
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLneOaY5Qs
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQXQ2pP9pQ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7m0jJHBZK
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxMdxoskFv
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMARZ2yy8vP
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvduPWH2qjc
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHjamPeJOt
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGSqxIc3FN
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCmuv540Iy
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDjs3lq11u
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.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaycEPH3x9t
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzou1sBBgiW
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCsEE8UVNE
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2EWH4T5ED
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygensM7hrK
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJDXX2zYnw
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxcS4IMlNp
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKahIYedWHA
I must at all cost keep him awake.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5fJyrswby
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOC15EipAC
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0t7pdwjmB
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsOdSxzC98
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3XA2xzsCZ
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OAewRXkmI
"Not that long baby I promise."809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu7Y3NhcVS
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE5FxseR1k
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9bQtx8rLU
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87X03GjptQ
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJemWtMetM
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKceTLzivZV
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl7Bxt6BaT
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEaAAEeLg4
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNUqOQyngG
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl5hmTiMZv
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEHpJsWmdZ
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHquai3U5m
I frown at him.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpaud6LPrs
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwzZrmv137
"Don't say that."809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYAxGox2Al
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcUqM4zvBi
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtbhcNhkzD
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3LJPvrOoP
I gasp.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjiWRXxH7H
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOY9WIaboW
"Jere stop!"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM7NmMWgWi
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9rhp3IjYU
He goes on.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCky0paBSP
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokNaPJO7IL
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb6WBZX2nL
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3uOixZpDR
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV8XSXCzh3
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHyCT6W8Cy
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp0BJRUxAf
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlUo7Txzci
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLsffUNknY
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA48iLkL6W
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGOiNGrXhE
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGE5aUMeY7
"I won't."809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jC1jL6JF
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNOF7imVgh
He obeys, watching me soberly.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjGqS8OoMB
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu0Eauq1kI
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKwfNy9jht
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aeSuwOkZP
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRuZBDzR4S
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViLlBMNrZu
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr9lQJ2esI
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT38aWRMOC
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRF4wKAGsI
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPdKgs4BsA
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKypiZHBKP
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu57VHZ6vf
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5W5lGClqt
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHQLvYpqF
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFg4gCBNLx
He tries to nod but he can't.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZgvopn6P6
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rriip6R8o
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHp2HAxGXH
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyplMHpeC23
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEziXzJAHL
He looks up into mine.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2be5loTdKi
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDoP5Z2PSu
"Don't leave me." He whispers.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4FBngYoFP
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyoXJuFYqk
"Stay awake." I tell him.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CvlQp4mBQ
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6NU8GQzAZ
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0apQikLtq
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvhWZBXYhn
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQmyDdkmcJ
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXCFakKTts
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXcSVNsaiE
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL4ucklcXz
He doesn't reply.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpFjwT2NHO
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB4QyuUMJm
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34sWb8iLNy
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zZjI9jth4
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruXZX9U7De
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuT8khjSC4
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynMcZK4gwU
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKCmKHV055
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqT2LymH7W
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZCZPNbHw
"Stay awake." I told him softly.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQXUhr2BL
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSdIPSi0he
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzToPhLng17
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HnEc61GG5
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W0TQJX1Pt
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQbZP9FpV
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2gClMRzsF
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUSKs1QBSr
"Kiss me," he repeats.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDou2YaiLNR
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Jph2slfy
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLt8MdJzJ4
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpQuoPRjqp
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTOFGY7DJn
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNip1Nl3DD
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbpa2doYLg
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKv2vwSo8B
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0IJcj5Yb6
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQjbleJmxj
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ejQPlzFz
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxI9TuxpVt
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbPL7Jiyvg
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt4wtBiZ5z
Electricity races through me and lingers.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2nlf7TaRf
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOkvdHgZpg
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKfClNsQ6w
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OvrynDH1h
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAjSwG25qG
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1BvdZlAir
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1szIW9GUjj
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUmGBCaeDo
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzqVaV14UU
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdMX9ZeCJC
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDazyfsHK88
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxgq8smjgc
"Jeremy?"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1YlYkacMz
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO1kSfQQ9J
I shake my head, not believing.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y1QxTx9aV
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYsggXIc0U
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTWYGkIjfL
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG23heC4Sz
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s7pOlvDY7
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRE1e6eR7G
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcW6joS2G6
809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhITOvFVeDS
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 809Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66HIAL5Jqe
