JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ktYHVKWQ
He's shaking underneath my grasp.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCPrzeexej
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMHGC5AlZN
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVAktrc0EW
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEUfdDVvrm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddXthTUr05
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJBPWFlM2t
I smile bitterly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa2X8Xs86r
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFI8QeIB7C
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9gUu9eINv
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoP1osRbPN
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYIFSHvSmA
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYjea0V3fS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw46POjnCFR
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHkC1r70hW
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmDNoaM87P
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sLx3tPZot
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKYjnJK7qf
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOxofv5yIE
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlDKRNh72
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkNWArrikI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVvUEuI3m8
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYtWa0aNjH
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMkpRPTwfY
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV4mLuvrIQ
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvzUSUh3zV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74qHAeKLgz
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WSkbqJI3H
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50IBv88KhX
I must at all cost keep him awake.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxda7l4kiE
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40kbeJb0OG
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNc0dp6cSc
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZTmV11Emc
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFBIe6eLV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImL0fSpUgF
"Not that long baby I promise."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUsfsURZi7
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAEZxsPXob
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoCaRvNUh9
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbBGItgywi
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPFnDHiVtd
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTBocSA9M
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll3qd6YLpF
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqemrT3036
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv09f8koDOR
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPU0ZEB6wH
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus8PBafuSi
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioPl9zwUx1
I frown at him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQUcPDcpwE
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvizoR9gTRA
"Don't say that."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSr3qd5mer
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs82yR6EkZT
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNzbuQC65r
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKS8aSo4SS
I gasp.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHemeoJMmh
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DgrflTqKy
"Jere stop!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6p1pZCuAV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uALaE878C
He goes on.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wRbkyPIkD
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6TWMZNJLS
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJHQ42TjeT
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7XMZaVmp7
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR443WodCK
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9mK8OsWbD
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxUyWM38wB
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB99Y1qxAHh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xf6XHMTbx
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lOHGJSX6f
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ydtqGAqy
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19RBwY4YE7
"I won't."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUHGlKQMBm
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3GrXmlueQ
He obeys, watching me soberly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKimAnDWCvq
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOIUX7EsU5
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjXZX45tXO
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyJ4xMxPti
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI2b8mpWhV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoVguDdLLj
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbElNODWeuZ
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9FDoilggw
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSnB7XsOxp
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfFyPpKLhb
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcVPaGTNjW
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF928Azicj
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZt5eceSor
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMfgn1sVZf
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ihfPTlgLF
He tries to nod but he can't.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xVEll7Iet
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj9Y3qlzbV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzsE5Y5VM
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z5O5CND5k
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSf7GT2PHc
He looks up into mine.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi9tZqae1B
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5okPwOR408
"Don't leave me." He whispers.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgVBljGy4X
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK0sMlFhhF
"Stay awake." I tell him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV3cC4XO4L
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXrKKEXe46
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Wqf3Gp7m
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQATK1ZtZJ
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UaiUwNto2
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcor6mjAWnm
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5MFkX5kBs
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNGNUcCH8f
He doesn't reply.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lu4r3bqQN
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rob7C68ZF
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgamKcu15e
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9cXg0pi2Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndoecATe7D
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfXSt4TVze
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zrHacqmw1
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqFuc7k2ZJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Zf7MkDtw
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WveyyQ8jO
"Stay awake." I told him softly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogWeHZkfOB
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L0P9OamXK
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmooRuYuxl9
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN9r56thm4
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjpHWVsvI0
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuvGa0zceN
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4GJngAMWD
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDTAbhjbJi
"Kiss me," he repeats.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhwx1OrHVB
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OA889TwrF
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U4bR3MKRf
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafRG0xpAzu
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzuv1dptt7
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JC8wWcj4K
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFXQWqgc9f
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuZPHFcejS
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2St4ez5zUs
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG1bBVrbRL
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpVWRy6ZAW
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nnugsL09c
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYhnZ3rsX8
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEVdWqjweZ
Electricity races through me and lingers.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uNVxYixZb
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSI7XvDpiZ
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHznkNgxv2U
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDOBhsT6Xg
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLI3KT7tCK
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP1jPdLKOj
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzzqQHuo6n
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RvRLgs6Ew
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxYtCx39eO
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrffpcIxyA
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQn3pqF7HE
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QjVYdRa9C
"Jeremy?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIXnxGguba
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AyCGRErPq
I shake my head, not believing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqitGrrGGzQ
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCwvW45K3
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwItYubR6Og
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIfeiGmX5J
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPtWNyfS0g
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNDnRtRJHE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyy6sBndWu
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUsZEPErK1
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMmnus8l3Q
