JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9XVlXFky8
He's shaking underneath my grasp.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW51SkRsije
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwZOfa6JWS
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiyQnj8EKT
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtw6T3bcY
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkFmfHUNUL
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbnHOa5AjQ
I smile bitterly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5zBe5KpJO
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8wB6ZZ1AD
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIGBImRUnb
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGBcWGUEr
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIwlExHCqF
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ICtWWCYq
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaLyEzm5zU
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIxwWPU65S
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bcs6HJWGl
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkpo1LNcc7
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBJPqYzTir
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfykMvHT3s
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnIVDZQo8v
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HqUHNcKt1
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.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGpVvrh0uD
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrlyyKWWPC
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMzQe2No80
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAbBjTdYOf
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrsPH3a9Ia
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwQHBQOuue
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdONFfa660g
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIi6HFhcDl
I must at all cost keep him awake.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY0vGvXbtO
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFbL3fpvhV
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRg0NvaUts
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo6GgiSUop
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f7oczSPOo
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd74Jfg7Otn
"Not that long baby I promise."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRrUwfHiPq
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5gbqgUY2T
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ239yKjvpl0
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShQTyKMpsa
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrXXBVH1YS
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6d0jWeZEe
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOjIcHz8kV
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8XuQIFvEf
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz7FBHD6SM
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO52wrEKIj
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnM10nahvz
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfxc9qeUg9
I frown at him.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PBiArRfUE
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC2ApyPcN4
"Don't say that."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MC2CyT0ec
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAysE4FNIky
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvWoWQYDRN
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k1crn45DZ
I gasp.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM8GM3f3X2
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh7yia86xA
"Jere stop!"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wxWDGYPmZ
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIJnfQNVs2
He goes on.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46sC88cuUn
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d2KFE8Rgi
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gs0Kvyknn
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sElD1peOv
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ppri14mt5
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJuSQZUbGb
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCarB1Z5AN
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudxx2kh3DT
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6fPGUpW3
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CkimMpDpb
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMT7foiX8u
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifIrwVChyB
"I won't."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83LS0codL3
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdnHyaBOmA
He obeys, watching me soberly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Al4IpcSK5
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W5sMb3hcd
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh44yyWLJn
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLhqXXx0qS
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8pnqMUFjE
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5p1Upxcp6
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp3E9ht44T
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNrbn3lgqk
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofs2bwmTL5
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u4SCPFHwu
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEMr4E9bmW
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QkWRJjVCF
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8hcRNzQZp
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jg9Afb6G0
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcembt51e19
He tries to nod but he can't.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHFJ5bsABW
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTqX7ZjUf9
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fy4hjNpI3
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEfH5GUw9Q
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskFd6VpyJe
He looks up into mine.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO25ZR9sQl
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJZNDvBSFU
"Don't leave me." He whispers.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq6qhYAXrS
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPLlqHwQoM
"Stay awake." I tell him.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HitAdG0kh
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArauJE02gy
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MBzNUJLmO
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnunC4dsLr
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwonTY0Gs4o
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGXCkDQsnR
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo5kpkdG8E
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKVEUzAt6V
He doesn't reply.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREmcBtWBnC
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSW3nSEEKp
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHUanmW2Hf
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnu5jMEY5D
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rX92eo4yK
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe12oRtUo2
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGJzMKYup8
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx64W4zP2U
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7Lj0lGSGc
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG4HW9HBMx
"Stay awake." I told him softly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZCU0VNYxx
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm7BP0K0Ts
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N920wAzal
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIkeH3uS9P
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqifuli0YDi
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam4SeGvkYe
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXGAeZjT5x
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX82xp9oZB
"Kiss me," he repeats.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2aou2qchw
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjk5NX0T2I
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ubyGMpGtR
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX8AzEXuS8
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJsKQ7N4il
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzDinJHc8F
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC90e4ggVa
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiR3UMzCm9
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj2K6ocoML
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn3GnwMj2E
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxO6JccYHi
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb4fuHiePd
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj28ToKYLY5
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhveNCuhtCZ
Electricity races through me and lingers.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcRcZfCaTb
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ504FVYrOlA
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlMzeI8EjN
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeFbGcs76e
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HdR8mOwPd
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6gyTYLIxk
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcksRwrrUw
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR4bLug4nC
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFCjPOY70g
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEJBW4x40W
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIqMv93Uj1
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqedhgnBZ5
"Jeremy?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolyN8kOHUd
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqxY5yHWXR
I shake my head, not believing.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQSui9cGyz
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFqUu2zgY8
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIeAJRVU5A
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN63GTiJTQ
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SDtLPjXly
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAunkg5ZDaC
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY6gQoBMXQ
685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ejUSuc7N3
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRYOjOwCTL
