I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.676Please respect copyright.PENANA5ntiZhgZPz
He's shaking underneath my grasp.676Please respect copyright.PENANAsBFnOPQK8j
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIUG2l5D9i5
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.676Please respect copyright.PENANAwWaXzkG3xc
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJIvXGEPsNx
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAalPeCxbXN4
676Please respect copyright.PENANAEUKovONsG6
I smile bitterly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAc3C6fjjLyB
676Please respect copyright.PENANAk57XkWK5gF
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.676Please respect copyright.PENANAwJiN9bCDC1
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoNuaWZp2mY
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.676Please respect copyright.PENANA7zs7psgM4p
676Please respect copyright.PENANAwLlyPj8gj6
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.676Please respect copyright.PENANA3f6BME5E9I
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHXXPTom4OM
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."676Please respect copyright.PENANAwdetnD5NkP
676Please respect copyright.PENANAkuPWBurDJd
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.676Please respect copyright.PENANAKKhR8q9Vir
676Please respect copyright.PENANA9XeUKNQZ1b
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.676Please respect copyright.PENANAYBv60tiOY1
676Please respect copyright.PENANAa2b8kVBqSE
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.676Please respect copyright.PENANAhEf4tFv53R
676Please respect copyright.PENANAt1GfENR3bK
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.676Please respect copyright.PENANA4eIKiG2nl3
676Please respect copyright.PENANAank0qhvirf
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.676Please respect copyright.PENANAXYizpfztbP
676Please respect copyright.PENANAkndmcNPkHi
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.676Please respect copyright.PENANAxKIvudAKfe
676Please respect copyright.PENANALlLIUAuWUy
I must at all cost keep him awake.676Please respect copyright.PENANA8N3WFSAX4k
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvRgd6RnjEa
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAYPEjycH8J9
676Please respect copyright.PENANAK6HCUzNWN2
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.676Please respect copyright.PENANAown1oqiDDh
676Please respect copyright.PENANAqgSfzzUyep
"Not that long baby I promise."676Please respect copyright.PENANALDEvEzgy3d
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxL1IisyyUp
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.676Please respect copyright.PENANAX3FVboEUsw
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXDdkGKRdIW
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.676Please respect copyright.PENANANc20awTY3n
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoohNuXzcbv
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.676Please respect copyright.PENANAReSvksve9E
676Please respect copyright.PENANAGCowhrJa9t
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.676Please respect copyright.PENANAQf80IUSXYQ
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kgg2MgHDx
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.676Please respect copyright.PENANA1MMoRUouaB
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjvXBFsb2cc
I frown at him.676Please respect copyright.PENANAao3rSiVAMf
676Please respect copyright.PENANAv5qpZ0UY1C
"Don't say that."676Please respect copyright.PENANAhMscnzoKUI
676Please respect copyright.PENANA98cTTkgorN
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.676Please respect copyright.PENANAvN9MNcKidg
676Please respect copyright.PENANAGkrZ15gCDa
I gasp.676Please respect copyright.PENANANi2fkerTSd
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4kW1UIYUrA
"Jere stop!"676Please respect copyright.PENANAelinilfDUL
676Please respect copyright.PENANAklP0PiR2o3
He goes on.676Please respect copyright.PENANAykulgQ87Bs
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoQwSkU3Lu7
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAmaPFIp99xT
676Please respect copyright.PENANAQXPpeKWj5r
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAcYsYCV5MLD
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuI9PmGVEmG
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"676Please respect copyright.PENANAurB1Ox8lTs
676Please respect copyright.PENANA6zS1a4YNs0
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.676Please respect copyright.PENANAWeN0XP3QZX
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7f2ZEayeF6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAIhEndPQnYn
676Please respect copyright.PENANA39JcWcTSX9
"I won't."676Please respect copyright.PENANA1GSKWHtMjp
676Please respect copyright.PENANA75jDOh8tRV
He obeys, watching me soberly.676Please respect copyright.PENANALIM8WEZuab
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyr6K5uhrZX
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.676Please respect copyright.PENANAqtyrU3ZTkp
676Please respect copyright.PENANACehK8WTUnR
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.676Please respect copyright.PENANAq9QW2Uw2Ly
676Please respect copyright.PENANA94F5wikppm
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.676Please respect copyright.PENANA8HK65e3CPL
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.676Please respect copyright.PENANA2hYK62j8vg
676Please respect copyright.PENANALDvgsj8tTI
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.676Please respect copyright.PENANAU4KfwDI5C6
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7gUKdlJCjE
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.676Please respect copyright.PENANAUiRk9ByVPv
676Please respect copyright.PENANAVKz12FADhS
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAa6YT5E3Xpz
676Please respect copyright.PENANA0OA48yoTAz
He tries to nod but he can't.676Please respect copyright.PENANA5iM1a0JoMZ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.676Please respect copyright.PENANAx3FNaRyycM
676Please respect copyright.PENANAcf84XbbL9N
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.676Please respect copyright.PENANALWCtXBKPz2
676Please respect copyright.PENANA9TJugoacfs
He looks up into mine.676Please respect copyright.PENANAl6o7tiorte
676Please respect copyright.PENANAaCn8MG6xHR
"Don't leave me." He whispers.676Please respect copyright.PENANAvzlBGmK0U7
676Please respect copyright.PENANAROynj5F56v
"Stay awake." I tell him.676Please respect copyright.PENANA1gRvrxcdGt
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2bfIypMU5f
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.676Please respect copyright.PENANAJYKkb6cgYR
676Please respect copyright.PENANAv62saPCEvl
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.676Please respect copyright.PENANAxuJ8k3xoDK
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmBeALlwCuk
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAFnA5ATPmoa
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmFIdO7ITaU
He doesn't reply.676Please respect copyright.PENANAi4M0eUU2gy
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmco8H2JmXj
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.676Please respect copyright.PENANANmKlMS97Us
676Please respect copyright.PENANA1LbBrpPmu6
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.676Please respect copyright.PENANAE5HIIjmBHa
676Please respect copyright.PENANA048kXoKB7q
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"676Please respect copyright.PENANAurgZz0Nu8e
676Please respect copyright.PENANAK9ivOsuxjL
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.676Please respect copyright.PENANAfZMJ3KJ4oW
676Please respect copyright.PENANARXXzEBr91F
"Stay awake." I told him softly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAXRHnprjkKf
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOOkyq8JOLC
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.676Please respect copyright.PENANA9GEO8RcDLJ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmFuS7OcU8W
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAC2GXCpdyQe
676Please respect copyright.PENANAT4tU0z0fNw
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.676Please respect copyright.PENANAmkvHb16NVN
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUMkAT7NLQ4
"Kiss me," he repeats.676Please respect copyright.PENANAhtULr07VIg
676Please respect copyright.PENANABrpybGjO1K
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.676Please respect copyright.PENANArUeuWBYF4D
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxy23TwZ8MF
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.676Please respect copyright.PENANAtSCxZuY4Zr
676Please respect copyright.PENANARwydPZ90fl
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.676Please respect copyright.PENANACubDLSycn6
676Please respect copyright.PENANACNPzVVwAlw
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.676Please respect copyright.PENANAjJpDL3Q8C0
676Please respect copyright.PENANAie6LQDIn2n
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.676Please respect copyright.PENANAVHaLDxbkNt
676Please respect copyright.PENANATBqCtqRwyI
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.676Please respect copyright.PENANAyfzc683Zxx
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4TaZO9BXDt
Electricity races through me and lingers.676Please respect copyright.PENANAEtiYX6NHIy
676Please respect copyright.PENANAElMRdF8aJZ
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.676Please respect copyright.PENANAM1LRb1oS2g
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZGTn9FQJf1
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.676Please respect copyright.PENANAp7Pav1dY32
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3uR4kKE63M
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.676Please respect copyright.PENANAZvVXAnkOLk
676Please respect copyright.PENANA0GFKNeWfcF
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.676Please respect copyright.PENANAs1jatGkywt
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPHvAl7b5yc
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.676Please respect copyright.PENANAwaigKj5Fun
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7CdUui82Vm
"Jeremy?"676Please respect copyright.PENANA2wOuXqtUvL
676Please respect copyright.PENANAE4uoEfTtmo
I shake my head, not believing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Nqeo3ne4
676Please respect copyright.PENANA795Q8s1UZ2
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAusvbZKPpYH
676Please respect copyright.PENANA35pQ7mAps2
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.676Please respect copyright.PENANA0LpMDYwR1F
676Please respect copyright.PENANAKHN6ldYq3H
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.676Please respect copyright.PENANAgjj0s8vqBL
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnJxwRdhjNZ
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAH36t43j2qZ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAQYa7HVag1w
