I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.697Please respect copyright.PENANAzKGR4hkhZ7
He's shaking underneath my grasp.697Please respect copyright.PENANA6aFiNyOghu
697Please respect copyright.PENANAktCvHWpjUj
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.697Please respect copyright.PENANABCcbaHcLkY
697Please respect copyright.PENANAKQrtRbcwOx
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.697Please respect copyright.PENANAwwoM73a50r
697Please respect copyright.PENANAQjKn8QB6gR
I smile bitterly.697Please respect copyright.PENANAzUepbTCvrb
697Please respect copyright.PENANArhKVrElw8a
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.697Please respect copyright.PENANADnNd6djCug
697Please respect copyright.PENANAIQqmzkLKRw
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.697Please respect copyright.PENANABwJTnKtzCj
697Please respect copyright.PENANAEWQ3HK4rlE
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.697Please respect copyright.PENANAKyFGMdMJZd
697Please respect copyright.PENANAux1nMZH7NL
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."697Please respect copyright.PENANAg4HQ0LmHtf
697Please respect copyright.PENANAGyN9edNyHn
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.697Please respect copyright.PENANAzjdOlZCKe3
697Please respect copyright.PENANAnr5hCDpJ24
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.697Please respect copyright.PENANAUqCRfxnm0U
697Please respect copyright.PENANAa3JIeA9TOH
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.697Please respect copyright.PENANAdBcfnpDDzG
697Please respect copyright.PENANAIu2FmNwLWq
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.697Please respect copyright.PENANAhH8ZAGkSau
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyst09hwTcR
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.697Please respect copyright.PENANAFnhPnrN3oU
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtwe7dRYWMo
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.697Please respect copyright.PENANAgzTeExOtd9
697Please respect copyright.PENANA5U31vzfrY9
I must at all cost keep him awake.697Please respect copyright.PENANA9otp5onPHG
697Please respect copyright.PENANAqjRO07ydcg
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"697Please respect copyright.PENANAbvf21mpW8P
697Please respect copyright.PENANAgUdGdXxEDp
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.697Please respect copyright.PENANA5ufhxnTH7g
697Please respect copyright.PENANAMihpB3TXXD
"Not that long baby I promise."697Please respect copyright.PENANAHTOSPs3dyH
697Please respect copyright.PENANA5JQdsU2Guu
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.697Please respect copyright.PENANAt2uxIavQ5w
697Please respect copyright.PENANAb6QIfrcAPt
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.697Please respect copyright.PENANAgfj13BnpLx
697Please respect copyright.PENANAwbVpZ2jbMU
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.697Please respect copyright.PENANADHn6FByZQI
697Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZoUh40U4D
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.697Please respect copyright.PENANAwgDhUwe1Lv
697Please respect copyright.PENANAI5cW8gBd1l
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.697Please respect copyright.PENANAsSZOCmAMpe
697Please respect copyright.PENANA2V4ndnjGiF
I frown at him.697Please respect copyright.PENANAn4jcMegpNF
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVMULRtMetc
"Don't say that."697Please respect copyright.PENANAP4UNEZjIHB
697Please respect copyright.PENANANCQeXzLull
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.697Please respect copyright.PENANAaEOEd4e5xI
697Please respect copyright.PENANANRW4n3sCvO
I gasp.697Please respect copyright.PENANAUwDZE1f64N
697Please respect copyright.PENANAxiPZcYBbRh
"Jere stop!"697Please respect copyright.PENANAqGq7oGOgAx
697Please respect copyright.PENANAoUfzi9zQQa
He goes on.697Please respect copyright.PENANArNdXSSSQaO
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlTZJaoHYBw
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.697Please respect copyright.PENANAeaTpJRtF7F
697Please respect copyright.PENANAs9rWWEwArr
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.697Please respect copyright.PENANAVuavZTMUaQ
697Please respect copyright.PENANA0jYSbjKjl7
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"697Please respect copyright.PENANALYysQxx02e
697Please respect copyright.PENANA5YYjlpxJ78
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.697Please respect copyright.PENANArwe7paSRLy
697Please respect copyright.PENANAZlnk0wJUfQ
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.697Please respect copyright.PENANAWoLvAixrdy
697Please respect copyright.PENANAEeMtf7S03C
"I won't."697Please respect copyright.PENANA4xU4q6E8tj
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjlmeHX4UOx
He obeys, watching me soberly.697Please respect copyright.PENANAncPKh0DwHj
697Please respect copyright.PENANAvFW8mtUCB9
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.697Please respect copyright.PENANATnFYs9Udgr
697Please respect copyright.PENANAJxHMM1hVm9
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.697Please respect copyright.PENANAj9e2VJPuj3
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyxpEm1FnKy
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.697Please respect copyright.PENANAUpoWRB9YcB
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.697Please respect copyright.PENANAbp8ErvJQIw
697Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRNHiny72
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.697Please respect copyright.PENANAJiC4nFya2X
697Please respect copyright.PENANAjtpuu4o0ei
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.697Please respect copyright.PENANAWm2FztquM9
697Please respect copyright.PENANAmLn2A25nRS
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"697Please respect copyright.PENANANJAtPHVSgd
697Please respect copyright.PENANAlN5IVBA2OY
He tries to nod but he can't.697Please respect copyright.PENANABvfKKTDsbL
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.697Please respect copyright.PENANAv2Dja0OIJq
697Please respect copyright.PENANAg5aSS4HBEO
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.697Please respect copyright.PENANAopbdxmrnZx
697Please respect copyright.PENANACSt6eBeuBo
He looks up into mine.697Please respect copyright.PENANALlteMRkc1L
697Please respect copyright.PENANA3nn8PuOUkC
"Don't leave me." He whispers.697Please respect copyright.PENANAuVpJIxWMJG
697Please respect copyright.PENANA7HQyt5xSW8
"Stay awake." I tell him.697Please respect copyright.PENANAumrfMKApn7
697Please respect copyright.PENANAtyMNCxK6sT
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.697Please respect copyright.PENANACDRjWhCkw6
697Please respect copyright.PENANA0exjuHhM8M
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.697Please respect copyright.PENANAmF7Cnz0Ish
697Please respect copyright.PENANAkG2FDAyJeV
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"697Please respect copyright.PENANAJJxBo4Cfa9
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVhA3k7WuQJ
He doesn't reply.697Please respect copyright.PENANA0ADJ3Rn5h7
697Please respect copyright.PENANAiuQv0avdaO
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.697Please respect copyright.PENANAfOg02qwzH3
697Please respect copyright.PENANAJyHqzgVip9
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.697Please respect copyright.PENANAmuT0ZjR8cB
697Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ1Qw2ZET3
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"697Please respect copyright.PENANAAyx3WTq47U
697Please respect copyright.PENANAo9X717zZIE
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.697Please respect copyright.PENANAyoQkTgbHGf
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVse819Owwx
"Stay awake." I told him softly.697Please respect copyright.PENANAYfhvp11JIQ
697Please respect copyright.PENANAneUmd6lkyw
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.697Please respect copyright.PENANAWs7I6DddsX
697Please respect copyright.PENANAA72vdiRz02
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.697Please respect copyright.PENANAoqxF3HUwWp
697Please respect copyright.PENANAUr0G46HZWo
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.697Please respect copyright.PENANAa5EXx5EfeO
697Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rizgo3LFW
"Kiss me," he repeats.697Please respect copyright.PENANAMjMTqVWstk
697Please respect copyright.PENANAms69Hv3IJL
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.697Please respect copyright.PENANApEXNRuxF1b
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyf98UExhjQ
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.697Please respect copyright.PENANAh52i1h3kcP
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1pGHR2pipL
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.697Please respect copyright.PENANAmJUuUwgJ6x
697Please respect copyright.PENANA74Fk4vqj1F
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.697Please respect copyright.PENANAwdV1nUCxtP
697Please respect copyright.PENANAwYV6W2cjFu
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.697Please respect copyright.PENANAtp4o2eCdqW
697Please respect copyright.PENANALtxdlQMT5H
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.697Please respect copyright.PENANANOLUp2MscM
697Please respect copyright.PENANA1RDZbRXqDi
Electricity races through me and lingers.697Please respect copyright.PENANAKZYGAErsmn
697Please respect copyright.PENANAFs8Rnrye4e
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.697Please respect copyright.PENANAhct3PKNtGS
697Please respect copyright.PENANAuGVrjyLiQt
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.697Please respect copyright.PENANAgghLh3Txw9
697Please respect copyright.PENANA16mA3gl4H3
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.697Please respect copyright.PENANA2mLecyXuQf
697Please respect copyright.PENANAsBrfnBBksa
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.697Please respect copyright.PENANAzsBARODj6H
697Please respect copyright.PENANAqZTOWKnD6g
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.697Please respect copyright.PENANAvgFinRcMm3
697Please respect copyright.PENANAyR7tinIlv3
"Jeremy?"697Please respect copyright.PENANABk3QeuBYb9
697Please respect copyright.PENANAz6pZ0hn6w3
I shake my head, not believing.697Please respect copyright.PENANAvfdvDDekNX
697Please respect copyright.PENANAk949M6J1Kz
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"697Please respect copyright.PENANAZl4rDpEK6I
697Please respect copyright.PENANAVHzKlQQIVV
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.697Please respect copyright.PENANACwl7hgT0EW
697Please respect copyright.PENANAv861Tr4yc7
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.697Please respect copyright.PENANAPbUvN1emIl
697Please respect copyright.PENANAH1nobI4aLq
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 697Please respect copyright.PENANAl08JbF6RUb
697Please respect copyright.PENANAAmYvrO2HtJ
