JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8465LoYilE
He's shaking underneath my grasp.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWZgBeL0BT
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlljXqdO07e
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmSK427h3I
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZQ7Els1Z
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Ga4XKl30
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXVgnBeVla
I smile bitterly.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJEyemE0Ym
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0nVLoiTqp
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXesozSFDG
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEIl51LDUH
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKlMdQWh0Z
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkesnHxKX9
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaciFMLQCn
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4QxPxVKHN
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0BXqrnGtZ
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi40cMPFUV
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpv5dgbzPP
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnVEH9HvTq
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCB2DfJVJH
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvKAphDh3o
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PKcbeqyCB
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70heVuAtm
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI4HVHGUQY
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF8eHT7ryk
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4hQjOymcn
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCVdhY56uw
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt69QODOIia
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirBrXkhX5C
I must at all cost keep him awake.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4FQyagAwf
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HOLe9xc42
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81GQfK8li6
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRSJMhBnJS
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevbFNMjtCU
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MvvQBoW3P
"Not that long baby I promise."734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSfMgdeQE3
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYi0poHsTJ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HfqIj1wl4
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu4nLtFcah
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18hundyynw
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNG2GRXt1f
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5xeayoSMk
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRWHZdqIXZ
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mUBw0ybxn
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLU6xOdXd2
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIeR6ZFB8X
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpJcknm99q
I frown at him.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWszeGL50UQ
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMp9JctP0
"Don't say that."734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7EQ5AHBq
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy53FZ3DAW
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr60NotDG5b
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGzQAFHfWW
I gasp.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d99YlRgs0
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI3skp5gce
"Jere stop!"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWe76H8fS5
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTLNZV4Ces
He goes on.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmwAJ06mA2
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0wFlAllrw
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1SQEbrjq5
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Us6foB9g
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauhcwZDdwL
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ7tFAz46B
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyk7GGIa60
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddZBTgVHvz
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrsEsLxPf6
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS310k9eKD2
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8mZhJAxHH
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQnt9k4QVP
"I won't."734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6HUrHuEkc
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWPP7B7ngz
He obeys, watching me soberly.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly7ZIzKo4B
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS0wXgswhK
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1s4f7L8yL
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogyNREVVOS
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErncYz7x8u
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0UWj3LN6g
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm993OQ0KYd
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1xfP2rAhj
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoJGfc2wDz
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFtHgYioW8
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfTeMuArhs
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNcL2hQYC5
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5neNglHkX
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVikBWrJxR
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoUK608xK7
He tries to nod but he can't.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd3yANy4rk
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYit3YjIJHD
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0I739QbAl
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhx8jumqHs
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIAeXVHV8P
He looks up into mine.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WJW3DZweH
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4qn2RC4Kk
"Don't leave me." He whispers.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaPf7aBay4
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxbjyXPTPH
"Stay awake." I tell him.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUVozjY05y
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU5ijY4h3A
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSfKqBHOWj
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ZFtrkLiK
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRHm19DccL
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINeiVTM9n
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunNvFmkEj3
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aflsabpfn
He doesn't reply.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncmJGaH7sa
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIRKUnt864
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpdWiPdIZx
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55rFS9YFqG
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21hCdtozU
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81wVTeEp6J
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sj3o09cVs
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vYqhtuUIw
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUVDZV5gvp
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIYCkJ3s1A
"Stay awake." I told him softly.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nO54eORHl
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WtrpFSb7t
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CWtPxBHBp
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL0eHAX6iD
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j6m1gfMHC
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsTdkTSQdb
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwjycGYcBd
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMDJ7VvKvS
"Kiss me," he repeats.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzV80Tgyij
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIWl7V9hQ6
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss66ZyLHz1
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ogPonhrfw
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyQ5SJr6A3
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtDUmMpTww
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJuzJgkdis
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpuSJiaSaG
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ksY6apL8
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6uGoiTiGx
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa9BbCqe5D
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA05Dfzr5cq
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefwjBkXLJR
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oGt2gm54F
Electricity races through me and lingers.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFBrWRykMv
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuTteGez87
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeqgVYFj5j
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlKL9Nx1cg
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LDTHsLAGh
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zi5I9X89S
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42iOOElJ0z
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpgtnTGKtB
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUkCePKTBu
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3TQTsyjf9
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6PG7bzgcx
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8meOHZB39
"Jeremy?"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ZaQOI740
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zZtXUaXvl
I shake my head, not believing.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6NX25PPFE
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OH8UuHr9M
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbfMIe3lNc
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLtWCWRGS8
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20mBRPoPoU
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzRj5psMMr
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2nvg2g9Hy
734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLfigwAwyq
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3TKtGZuAO
