JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv06hNZU61
He's shaking underneath my grasp.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnBI5eO5Dt
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcwfPpjzah
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouWcAlPszY
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w5RAqGeVI
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAp0NE1UjG
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00405OTSyf
I smile bitterly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NS1AHrdfK
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah66i0yIqF
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxSKHrodea
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVWLTvy7s6
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDLhoRnf3W
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2HLhEMgV0
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrtEFRXDHZ
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXKSHXDhpY
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55tHLHqupj
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGr2EmMALp
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw94hfC2JE6
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqzlXPVan1
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9RVyT3yDr
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFq2nXMSeB
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.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4yM5ob6ye
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyPshSAcJi
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0sm72AAEm
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3BGJ5V9I7
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GhVES8ESc
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiMdQ21Ipv
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnCbT4VSbV
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9K3VWujW1
I must at all cost keep him awake.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3rdHIEPfw
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivHQtMHC2
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIoFv9nKr6
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVV5drmRP7
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmAsemM98c
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRnK58L5ZT
"Not that long baby I promise."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqJPfLmKnj
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQuG0KNw9i
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWH5y4RSoe
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEram5lDaxd
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNEXK8QDFu
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4na50IOxUO
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST6J0y4lck
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGKxd0ffMU
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jZuSiTWgZ
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9JTOnTPri
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfLAnbxlYx
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1OZYJMxzA
I frown at him.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoKYHI0HgT
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5WHG0xlKx
"Don't say that."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Rr2dbhRV
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFGy4LyQE
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENDSXjpmxl
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYYmYHiR64
I gasp.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UYSMZ5Svk
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM0DEjbe01
"Jere stop!"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6B7c03Brn
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PNr2rpnrx
He goes on.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5V5SC75ok
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoT79K9hTC
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VRULM6s3u
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNnIGdYnkX
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDht5a564ak
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiD94eC3SR
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCd3IZZLh
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrEwSMKp0I
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmENDX2MsH5
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU0X91iPSB
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuSSNrjlLq
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvganWucoZc
"I won't."778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4vqXDm41H
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHocPZgnwV
He obeys, watching me soberly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gxO0wMGDi
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rvPE2NnkN
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Mh5iN0IT
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U8j9Iuyw2
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhI7JgCpui
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyTsPyRaWg
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhdYvfKidW
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvBPC4fLxW
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2joMqTjSx
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN1AvW5Wdo
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT1WL1TiYT
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsDxZdSaFV
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafDryI0edb
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuYP6vwsT7
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdICmEUydKY
He tries to nod but he can't.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva0p6QqTdl
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguWg8AhNI7
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMtfGh92GP
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDymQ21b0U
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu31OC3Gas0
He looks up into mine.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb7s0sfkPY
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzXRHetb8
"Don't leave me." He whispers.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rQZPRXDQG
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nIzlq8OmD
"Stay awake." I tell him.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmX0P1pp6
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn5njYiOOz
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0UOxbNvFX
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAYR9dkurJ
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTW1JltktK
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb5jenPvnO
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiXCtaqGeu
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf9gnePV5n
He doesn't reply.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnMSB66GOC
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN99UJZZ32
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tQ1k1lxaa
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk6j7y9Fjc
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm71Jr3QhLR
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7mRfeJ3do
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM85a1PPvV
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ytB3IfSRX
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8s1P5isOM
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJfESOHLxE
"Stay awake." I told him softly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC66SdDG7F
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrQw4FxccM
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC7qJsmouO
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJZc5CjxwF
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpo4rvb44x
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0MgUEZnL7
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKJs4bI0dR
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHwXxPZxzH
"Kiss me," he repeats.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Hh3YNNXQ
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ2bv3qkrx
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3WekkUHYO
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvxT2VIAXz
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjvCQZu99I
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe4TSHnMpe
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstZ0LC80Kh
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuqb4NdVXl
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDTUazHycB
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt1woieXvu
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyui3Rx00H8
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJevOBNunP
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfF7r5x5p7
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRrkSkMQo7
Electricity races through me and lingers.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sKYZMXOQX
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHW4dr5P2R
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzrvHeiDje
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHg2ISY5pH
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdWg4WZC21
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk0wNMTz40
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cGriDVCfv
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlncRcGhPSo
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwbCFMrH7F
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRCEtUriAl
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAd2urSaqW
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhq5xQsds
"Jeremy?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YfiSG0apu
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVkl6fKgOD
I shake my head, not believing.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d5V9FulNT
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLaUYpoNj
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIPumpPcLp
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPmwyQliMT
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JcoR36RvN
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhXrKBc3eg
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPVUOgcXFO
778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ508LEY47zp
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Z0M2r3um
