JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS2tSVCiwB
He's shaking underneath my grasp.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwicejaIzJ
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpfJc2i8Wi
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LujoPE53o
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Tol0K8AX
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcDbrss8Ab
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd9Dn7BQYU
I smile bitterly.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleRpoZUfu5
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv7pGUobbf
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxkTf7TXzs
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnMWtKVm0K
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ5BeUjNNi
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ktVbgiNY
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkSIItOW7g
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1UOpxtDOr
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SMzhGHBCI
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh58K3Ih5OP
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlVe3XIHQ5
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05P2oodoGL
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFsbxjvRq9
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjFdsL86mt
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.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwqlFwhFcd
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjHSxcfdPB
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRsy9DGVbc
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3njyHLhPBr
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwGS1jdnVi
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzpP1IFFGi
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wZAOhFKub
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0oSgtlsCv
I must at all cost keep him awake.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6iHdE0EYv
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGhwGJI7gN
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yaSzRlwO2
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mYJKpU9ka
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6lmJOSuPr
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslWEWXpGRO
"Not that long baby I promise."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRD58GbYfa
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y9E1yVHRP
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyChJvetvkj
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUzhQ7uAMT
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwch67LUTqD
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3O2IIf0jG
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDgim6xq1i
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjcZSfgoFD
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqGcGMpC42
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xl7XM5iIQ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgfUw01B1G
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkjKi9tjsT
I frown at him.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rifvsOdO
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0WraTJwft
"Don't say that."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcRUGhtqkL
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5t3dy4JYg
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFXkW5aPGv
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKIHuxMPXe
I gasp.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiAUP9Pvfr
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3mwpz6qx9
"Jere stop!"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaOUQIA9Nc
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFwCBoOEh9
He goes on.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLYLN3rh0t
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2353HlmQg
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fUuihymjl
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66rdPFn95E
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdXaavoryX
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X0pKWM73B
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtkgUVXT27
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAAX88UcCg
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3rax4UunE
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmRPDBEdL6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Be4YwTa6
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLadxhqg4W
"I won't."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKzHWfO85T
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupeFPZLoKr
He obeys, watching me soberly.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4rXlfjf0N
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62tOZP50Rs
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ctg0ukAD
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVReRyIoYSu
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yNEMrktgW
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjwln0lylJ
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OSgBovTeO
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxzW6NPOSi
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejvV6Ssbp4
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchvsM7951r
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK752QYTwt
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmzZdek6P5
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RXJbv5TDq
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz5noGGp2n
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApwC1mzcVp
He tries to nod but he can't.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xpyTUWTUX
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasjjD1nHdW
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bqaQEPIZI
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekKnEjwLA6
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyroIGAicAk
He looks up into mine.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8RR5HYEEg
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9C8pEq9Ip
"Don't leave me." He whispers.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyb2fP3ssd
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs1tW618Zb
"Stay awake." I tell him.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFPUMMWbmL
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVk0vYqS6H
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCeRw8unxT
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AVd19Rfsw
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyJRPoB4Kb
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32KZ0P5Fwt
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMPuFdGHpw
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnIcuCjNsS
He doesn't reply.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWscSidS3Vj
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWUnzQFzkr
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAOTkSeb2K
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDQKTJgtlW
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJc52QcZij
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2MaQIYlCX
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAc15Uf3N
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwxnsa1wd
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazNs4Sy7Oe
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO6ZDTx8dK
"Stay awake." I told him softly.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJC6hRtBJv
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRX1mYI7fH
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjPYbcWjx
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxaiCVzGZA
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vu3vnEyw4
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7c9EQkMN
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsPTGVMV6C
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujngJQQR30
"Kiss me," he repeats.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIwSorlFLE
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbOxHRIsMo
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLzJo6YOgb
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29qYs5jmM1
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8PTR4oRTm
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGfxkyawRM
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f6zsmpiy5
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGBOobRkg0
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7lisTSTA0
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO9NltylFc
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kEaxg33wC
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMVB6yIIK
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQxfWkIcNC
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7dmQXX2xd
Electricity races through me and lingers.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9l9PyoVBz
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogQDB8BXcx
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3s7W9OhtI
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2URYolzEt
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFSSjNqs12
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmmVRm0zQ3
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSAkQDtKre
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQCGfDJm7V
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyqWg58Vb8
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWOoFcSWIJ
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPo7t2nbDb
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiylN1Pqgm
"Jeremy?"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlIqxWeAfd
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYR6uiqcpR
I shake my head, not believing.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVcYr1mZK9
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fs4q1IPQa
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG84L9RurFx
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofDnHZK6WQ
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaCOZ8GuCN
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI84WyAv8l
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXW1PailL4
716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5teqgEFsq
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKjTtpLbtC
