I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.711Please respect copyright.PENANAc31D6kzR61
He's shaking underneath my grasp.711Please respect copyright.PENANAs1dHUpS36y
711Please respect copyright.PENANAkUFDp4AiiQ
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.711Please respect copyright.PENANA0rTgiugP7V
711Please respect copyright.PENANAvlXP5nMHMt
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.711Please respect copyright.PENANAevMWxnB48l
711Please respect copyright.PENANACKSBwDIaSW
I smile bitterly.711Please respect copyright.PENANAFVgDoUwQDQ
711Please respect copyright.PENANARw07x8TyLJ
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.711Please respect copyright.PENANAiOG8SZ0k1o
711Please respect copyright.PENANAFtVZOPlDkW
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.711Please respect copyright.PENANAtgkibRrCx1
711Please respect copyright.PENANAkoG83ujjlm
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.711Please respect copyright.PENANAZc8LExLNj1
711Please respect copyright.PENANAQZlqUYiaky
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."711Please respect copyright.PENANAKH4t2iJIxa
711Please respect copyright.PENANA5HKN7CwI7C
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.711Please respect copyright.PENANAE1OwAXjCLq
711Please respect copyright.PENANAz1KCnfWvMT
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.711Please respect copyright.PENANAabVelnQ6cP
711Please respect copyright.PENANAINhmdPsJ0c
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.711Please respect copyright.PENANAldtxp9AqG2
711Please respect copyright.PENANALpfPJJ8jNC
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.711Please respect copyright.PENANAzAnOXhaiIX
711Please respect copyright.PENANAMfmNLnIw5u
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.711Please respect copyright.PENANAdc92HYmbO8
711Please respect copyright.PENANAOvw3mpYuKb
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.711Please respect copyright.PENANA1yvhjmtuRy
711Please respect copyright.PENANAIwmB3MW38a
I must at all cost keep him awake.711Please respect copyright.PENANAtrZ5aCdWgy
711Please respect copyright.PENANAKslrpu2tgh
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"711Please respect copyright.PENANAfPenZEFj2v
711Please respect copyright.PENANABfD1R38I5X
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.711Please respect copyright.PENANAUn37xhBuRm
711Please respect copyright.PENANATQOdL1i8aM
"Not that long baby I promise."711Please respect copyright.PENANAH5H9L4NeiD
711Please respect copyright.PENANAFmxSzZmhIL
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.711Please respect copyright.PENANAj5DL75NESn
711Please respect copyright.PENANAHra1DHRUYr
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.711Please respect copyright.PENANAp3k7FALSUA
711Please respect copyright.PENANAi45dmkkWBs
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.711Please respect copyright.PENANAu7FczqJKoT
711Please respect copyright.PENANAG8ZGBTd0qQ
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.711Please respect copyright.PENANAiV5xn5Sswv
711Please respect copyright.PENANATuJemQiwUC
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.711Please respect copyright.PENANAuB4m1g8jRr
711Please respect copyright.PENANAo5U3IjkRyB
I frown at him.711Please respect copyright.PENANAtUQJQbwoNB
711Please respect copyright.PENANAx81wjI2a5N
"Don't say that."711Please respect copyright.PENANAt1rFJys0sM
711Please respect copyright.PENANAAEsXPstrID
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.711Please respect copyright.PENANAvtWlb3sOVY
711Please respect copyright.PENANAKOKCswlkZP
I gasp.711Please respect copyright.PENANA5bpOuE5DIa
711Please respect copyright.PENANAda0NlZ6F4a
"Jere stop!"711Please respect copyright.PENANA17xaSYABfI
711Please respect copyright.PENANAMEthoKccxS
He goes on.711Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uh1IEnfl5
711Please respect copyright.PENANA6L20zdOgFX
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.711Please respect copyright.PENANAnbaSYOlxGP
711Please respect copyright.PENANA74BuIh83ka
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.711Please respect copyright.PENANAk5ufh6dUzI
711Please respect copyright.PENANAsqVFFZzUve
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"711Please respect copyright.PENANArSeEeefUVc
711Please respect copyright.PENANAggIQSNeq57
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.711Please respect copyright.PENANAsBz4JGcE0B
711Please respect copyright.PENANApToLsL934N
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.711Please respect copyright.PENANAM6dEGmRKEA
711Please respect copyright.PENANAhnzNCQTq0L
"I won't."711Please respect copyright.PENANAuScFatRnYT
711Please respect copyright.PENANAdWR9bkDFFw
He obeys, watching me soberly.711Please respect copyright.PENANAVH6Mrewxrx
711Please respect copyright.PENANAgkPcxVEb6G
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.711Please respect copyright.PENANAmcPvEdUtyh
711Please respect copyright.PENANA05LqeEULx0
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.711Please respect copyright.PENANA0pIo19LeWe
711Please respect copyright.PENANAa9TfXvmGw7
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.711Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ4VqKBQim
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.711Please respect copyright.PENANA3kXtWCNGHb
711Please respect copyright.PENANArJEnmWJtkC
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.711Please respect copyright.PENANAqNoECwduGI
711Please respect copyright.PENANAkv6sJwOJwT
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.711Please respect copyright.PENANAZQxQHd1kk9
711Please respect copyright.PENANAXevVaaSPdb
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"711Please respect copyright.PENANAKXn93gfEGM
711Please respect copyright.PENANAku6GVfXz5z
He tries to nod but he can't.711Please respect copyright.PENANAneX6qz24Gq
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.711Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ESVH4874
711Please respect copyright.PENANAsQtHVQ9KdQ
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.711Please respect copyright.PENANAE9RMs3aHje
711Please respect copyright.PENANA1ohgJgKMdt
He looks up into mine.711Please respect copyright.PENANAt1222XUjSg
711Please respect copyright.PENANA3RYVM1ISzY
"Don't leave me." He whispers.711Please respect copyright.PENANAovRJpSoRnG
711Please respect copyright.PENANAraPd7DbyrC
"Stay awake." I tell him.711Please respect copyright.PENANAxL86UIKapu
711Please respect copyright.PENANAjKPIiqSmjf
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.711Please respect copyright.PENANALiA31CWZhU
711Please respect copyright.PENANAzyr9MNYHOo
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.711Please respect copyright.PENANAxLxkjztav5
711Please respect copyright.PENANAWuti9Z6zYA
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"711Please respect copyright.PENANAVXaN7MeWbG
711Please respect copyright.PENANAxWVdXQwqi8
He doesn't reply.711Please respect copyright.PENANA5pqEpL31kH
711Please respect copyright.PENANAo7WooygknG
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.711Please respect copyright.PENANAhlSsVvDIlm
711Please respect copyright.PENANAEiumr2S4Jc
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.711Please respect copyright.PENANA6M078GHIVw
711Please respect copyright.PENANAtKFbpQUN0N
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"711Please respect copyright.PENANAlBO8bW8q0o
711Please respect copyright.PENANAetJLN8bAG5
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.711Please respect copyright.PENANAJiUSfzUE6U
711Please respect copyright.PENANA62IiusYjRk
"Stay awake." I told him softly.711Please respect copyright.PENANAJbV1zPrHac
711Please respect copyright.PENANADDWdnqec74
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.711Please respect copyright.PENANAs9vKsux28r
711Please respect copyright.PENANAvB5kbIuSQb
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.711Please respect copyright.PENANArllB4ytLdJ
711Please respect copyright.PENANAG27DzNda2J
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.711Please respect copyright.PENANAVthZni0ZKB
711Please respect copyright.PENANATRdMiLWbeT
"Kiss me," he repeats.711Please respect copyright.PENANAURQ9l7CMwh
711Please respect copyright.PENANAITfL4s8qrK
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.711Please respect copyright.PENANAsVh4fdEevO
711Please respect copyright.PENANA6NKsRJYBhK
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.711Please respect copyright.PENANAXyyyym12fz
711Please respect copyright.PENANAcpMJJdAnwH
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.711Please respect copyright.PENANA1b7plDTBw4
711Please respect copyright.PENANA0YQLXvXqvJ
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.711Please respect copyright.PENANAAO5jeMDxTE
711Please respect copyright.PENANAVFPZe9Xaeb
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.711Please respect copyright.PENANAgflfhA7eCT
711Please respect copyright.PENANAsJP0a6GWUk
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.711Please respect copyright.PENANASjaLxMBeGb
711Please respect copyright.PENANA0bnfBgZ2aB
Electricity races through me and lingers.711Please respect copyright.PENANA70DMDmqefS
711Please respect copyright.PENANA3rhyGYXGmO
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.711Please respect copyright.PENANAFISIy47ruU
711Please respect copyright.PENANA445s9kgkGf
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.711Please respect copyright.PENANAyqU3MbnSzT
711Please respect copyright.PENANAdj2FpIqm4w
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.711Please respect copyright.PENANAAnHAhJM6Y7
711Please respect copyright.PENANAvaUCNxnH4K
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.711Please respect copyright.PENANAYpftVsu5Tw
711Please respect copyright.PENANACT5gNR8FTn
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.711Please respect copyright.PENANAwLeWH1pg8a
711Please respect copyright.PENANAb7pPAADfyY
"Jeremy?"711Please respect copyright.PENANAyOMn0cYtdG
711Please respect copyright.PENANAKbAaKMkiLN
I shake my head, not believing.711Please respect copyright.PENANA1d5Z9E5Wqf
711Please respect copyright.PENANA4I5RrqN1mg
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"711Please respect copyright.PENANAXB43wjXbGM
711Please respect copyright.PENANAAm8V1epVha
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.711Please respect copyright.PENANA0incSKNXHq
711Please respect copyright.PENANAzfkwwnt3um
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.711Please respect copyright.PENANAQMDNOJe3d1
711Please respect copyright.PENANADZp88B43Bu
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 711Please respect copyright.PENANAIP1mmwJPX0
