I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.646Please respect copyright.PENANAFQUUq0YDhL
He's shaking underneath my grasp.646Please respect copyright.PENANAyEqbaHbEYG
646Please respect copyright.PENANAF5KtzOm9gO
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.646Please respect copyright.PENANA8o1NoKdhee
646Please respect copyright.PENANAIBpTzdI8Zx
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.646Please respect copyright.PENANAzjGkk8tkvn
646Please respect copyright.PENANABC8LRTy3oQ
I smile bitterly.646Please respect copyright.PENANAlqXEftLTGZ
646Please respect copyright.PENANAeOaeRjQdxh
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.646Please respect copyright.PENANAPETIZLm22p
646Please respect copyright.PENANAcCjmcJDSHi
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.646Please respect copyright.PENANAJCIcLh6D2F
646Please respect copyright.PENANAFcnrdw46sn
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.646Please respect copyright.PENANAwfD7B4f7R0
646Please respect copyright.PENANADJoNyhXfDr
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."646Please respect copyright.PENANAWXaW1WZ00p
646Please respect copyright.PENANAZLGP5HozDi
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.646Please respect copyright.PENANAnU80aHXXGx
646Please respect copyright.PENANAAn9PJ5dkIN
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.646Please respect copyright.PENANAfPgaiEgklL
646Please respect copyright.PENANAZHSn7XtBns
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.646Please respect copyright.PENANAdYw1LQiEAc
646Please respect copyright.PENANASKSabwUMLM
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.646Please respect copyright.PENANAjXDEad6nls
646Please respect copyright.PENANAgpPNcjIo6l
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.646Please respect copyright.PENANAkIE1vSobgF
646Please respect copyright.PENANAHaQ6ePvRSW
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.646Please respect copyright.PENANA26SRicD0Md
646Please respect copyright.PENANAj2FqFscN50
I must at all cost keep him awake.646Please respect copyright.PENANAT26p4qpZVf
646Please respect copyright.PENANANnLmycgngB
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAv1XRZgwpnf
646Please respect copyright.PENANAPiLwjp9xdu
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.646Please respect copyright.PENANAsIaIUloE8x
646Please respect copyright.PENANAy8MGh1rJgq
"Not that long baby I promise."646Please respect copyright.PENANAhVdPbcPFTr
646Please respect copyright.PENANANx7De5jmNR
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.646Please respect copyright.PENANA1UwNnAaalF
646Please respect copyright.PENANA4ekKUK6ioF
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.646Please respect copyright.PENANANWhl0cEwgS
646Please respect copyright.PENANAgLf0JOR49b
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.646Please respect copyright.PENANAIOT4dPCFlH
646Please respect copyright.PENANA1ttWVPWoyJ
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.646Please respect copyright.PENANAo4ZB0ZQM9a
646Please respect copyright.PENANAYkQBasi4gI
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.646Please respect copyright.PENANAI4a6FrIXDe
646Please respect copyright.PENANAnlb5hsnKck
I frown at him.646Please respect copyright.PENANAjArr3odvSX
646Please respect copyright.PENANAwp2lhAuwsq
"Don't say that."646Please respect copyright.PENANAKjyAZpwRwT
646Please respect copyright.PENANADWHYTNmjIW
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.646Please respect copyright.PENANAK3HUkWwdPf
646Please respect copyright.PENANA6DcIxE0wZS
I gasp.646Please respect copyright.PENANAQ65N7b09GB
646Please respect copyright.PENANAfD5JbQcddM
"Jere stop!"646Please respect copyright.PENANAutNwunUCxz
646Please respect copyright.PENANA86cMY51jSU
He goes on.646Please respect copyright.PENANAGyrzJcvlSv
646Please respect copyright.PENANAfiGtuvwOLq
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.646Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Xf3aSNV9
646Please respect copyright.PENANABXr3b4Dkia
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.646Please respect copyright.PENANAMv6YU5AHtQ
646Please respect copyright.PENANA7eYmDK52WV
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"646Please respect copyright.PENANAKcBdoZpzZ9
646Please respect copyright.PENANAAHcxjgCLiq
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.646Please respect copyright.PENANAYurATbPqGE
646Please respect copyright.PENANADXpzcgMEUV
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.646Please respect copyright.PENANAFhk6Y8dbgN
646Please respect copyright.PENANAAWPwxDb5Rc
"I won't."646Please respect copyright.PENANADh4z21iMwb
646Please respect copyright.PENANAPUCevQyHUo
He obeys, watching me soberly.646Please respect copyright.PENANA7mi8hpb4fw
646Please respect copyright.PENANARfuPSSd1Bh
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.646Please respect copyright.PENANA1AhgUPjCxg
646Please respect copyright.PENANAPGl0xDKyCA
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.646Please respect copyright.PENANAfntapu4zwh
646Please respect copyright.PENANAXYqEzUy1rb
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.646Please respect copyright.PENANAFoXvJ6RhDN
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.646Please respect copyright.PENANAX7qxrMWyTU
646Please respect copyright.PENANAqtDgnReYii
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.646Please respect copyright.PENANApdIWoSwAbn
646Please respect copyright.PENANAlroFErOpMM
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.646Please respect copyright.PENANAnBT0hJ7otn
646Please respect copyright.PENANAXaSMT56EYY
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"646Please respect copyright.PENANATh8Tz3ihgO
646Please respect copyright.PENANAVji5cHqc2A
He tries to nod but he can't.646Please respect copyright.PENANAZlxNaHKYPv
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.646Please respect copyright.PENANAhOOx8rgQ1u
646Please respect copyright.PENANATZdB72CtBF
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.646Please respect copyright.PENANAhknsoMzd28
646Please respect copyright.PENANAIohbVLjffv
He looks up into mine.646Please respect copyright.PENANAnhAF469bXa
646Please respect copyright.PENANAz6GbxjIHVo
"Don't leave me." He whispers.646Please respect copyright.PENANAttUee829WE
646Please respect copyright.PENANAOueG73ye7n
"Stay awake." I tell him.646Please respect copyright.PENANAAOivOFxH4S
646Please respect copyright.PENANADDzydQapEg
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.646Please respect copyright.PENANA6HlLhL3HrB
646Please respect copyright.PENANAw5J2Ub2G0o
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.646Please respect copyright.PENANA1AeW1vNo1c
646Please respect copyright.PENANAUVsdNlt1k6
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7JCI8NCQ4
646Please respect copyright.PENANA2twCAMN789
He doesn't reply.646Please respect copyright.PENANAa6gmk3a2qu
646Please respect copyright.PENANAihMcBfq3I4
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.646Please respect copyright.PENANAS0bsvDzDnK
646Please respect copyright.PENANAsm2MkVP899
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.646Please respect copyright.PENANAfIk8C00bup
646Please respect copyright.PENANAlqaM4aNewQ
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"646Please respect copyright.PENANAQfLcvf9M7U
646Please respect copyright.PENANAn1LhJPgGll
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.646Please respect copyright.PENANA3DJoGipiWt
646Please respect copyright.PENANAfuQflSRr1r
"Stay awake." I told him softly.646Please respect copyright.PENANADic1nahZSL
646Please respect copyright.PENANAP03fJT19zQ
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.646Please respect copyright.PENANADlazMByEAS
646Please respect copyright.PENANAmOAEAawMtS
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.646Please respect copyright.PENANAl9KOqQXiGt
646Please respect copyright.PENANAbR3sQoGd4z
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.646Please respect copyright.PENANAcjHPwBk2yY
646Please respect copyright.PENANAN3mdW2gJDj
"Kiss me," he repeats.646Please respect copyright.PENANA0BEHXl2bsM
646Please respect copyright.PENANAuaN1gTpgal
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.646Please respect copyright.PENANAOxVeICezRX
646Please respect copyright.PENANAwrPlzYo8Sv
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.646Please respect copyright.PENANAwMNJG7eo2k
646Please respect copyright.PENANAOFGkXT3pa1
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.646Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ8ODkF6ry
646Please respect copyright.PENANAyAFD78ysZ8
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.646Please respect copyright.PENANA279jG0v2a1
646Please respect copyright.PENANAibaukUZgSt
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.646Please respect copyright.PENANAlwWiGgyj8x
646Please respect copyright.PENANAQwb5oH8ubJ
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.646Please respect copyright.PENANA2noWmKtnkz
646Please respect copyright.PENANATvcSQpV72p
Electricity races through me and lingers.646Please respect copyright.PENANA8wN3p1Trxb
646Please respect copyright.PENANAIMWB016S9Y
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.646Please respect copyright.PENANAhacCh4TEWF
646Please respect copyright.PENANAyvoZnCk9k5
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.646Please respect copyright.PENANAOHY2h5JdZF
646Please respect copyright.PENANA78CYbJYwJ7
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.646Please respect copyright.PENANA27AmDU8LaN
646Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ8YWV9p9k
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.646Please respect copyright.PENANA82Hozr62qO
646Please respect copyright.PENANAE5s6c1CXbK
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.646Please respect copyright.PENANAYDYtWdjOcB
646Please respect copyright.PENANAScyTZ0gjyg
"Jeremy?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAGFkMuMxfsK
646Please respect copyright.PENANAu0mc1wSqCL
I shake my head, not believing.646Please respect copyright.PENANAI2aW7sjShF
646Please respect copyright.PENANArZuXU2bF24
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"646Please respect copyright.PENANAXZv6b0ej8W
646Please respect copyright.PENANArWTNcTN2H0
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.646Please respect copyright.PENANAvEWfwsRVfF
646Please respect copyright.PENANA0KInHxY1YA
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.646Please respect copyright.PENANAJgJtsWnRsr
646Please respect copyright.PENANA1oWKyoCHAi
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 646Please respect copyright.PENANA6mpeeMUgKx
