I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.656Please respect copyright.PENANAuMjrnWkQck
He's shaking underneath my grasp.656Please respect copyright.PENANAzgv0JpK32V
656Please respect copyright.PENANAAqY8xB6ZXS
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.656Please respect copyright.PENANAk6fdsFEhfh
656Please respect copyright.PENANAPQfTZLop78
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.656Please respect copyright.PENANAaRnd7jAIae
656Please respect copyright.PENANAwWfJxdaKmr
I smile bitterly.656Please respect copyright.PENANAhUTlsnPlgE
656Please respect copyright.PENANAiHtnixL7Jl
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.656Please respect copyright.PENANAvI9EEE2GUN
656Please respect copyright.PENANAOH819AqlMr
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.656Please respect copyright.PENANAID282bYgeY
656Please respect copyright.PENANAfaK2krEq7K
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.656Please respect copyright.PENANAmawbrOpXex
656Please respect copyright.PENANAxXgyUhvgHG
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."656Please respect copyright.PENANALLcYkP7x40
656Please respect copyright.PENANAVwTTQ09bFu
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.656Please respect copyright.PENANAOyRJMp1H8p
656Please respect copyright.PENANAtkEu1JtjsW
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.656Please respect copyright.PENANAfZPG76W6ni
656Please respect copyright.PENANAV24eZyUENt
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.656Please respect copyright.PENANAYvMSEyH9co
656Please respect copyright.PENANAkDGNraOAQI
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.656Please respect copyright.PENANABof9jfQ9mW
656Please respect copyright.PENANA5UoeDA0aJv
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.656Please respect copyright.PENANAQsvMyIZxbW
656Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ko11ORU43
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.656Please respect copyright.PENANAozehnO8ctD
656Please respect copyright.PENANAUwRohViwKV
I must at all cost keep him awake.656Please respect copyright.PENANA4V9dCKQYGT
656Please respect copyright.PENANA90qVwX3u65
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"656Please respect copyright.PENANAbqxpDkUSZP
656Please respect copyright.PENANAkWgJAn6uh9
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.656Please respect copyright.PENANANDBKrdKN0B
656Please respect copyright.PENANA32TzNQKf2K
"Not that long baby I promise."656Please respect copyright.PENANAOx007xq030
656Please respect copyright.PENANAA77Mp1hjsE
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.656Please respect copyright.PENANAJMRGNdRPRz
656Please respect copyright.PENANAILZMTdcu0X
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.656Please respect copyright.PENANAWwhZZkn58b
656Please respect copyright.PENANAUF7sDbTjqC
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.656Please respect copyright.PENANAmisgR1qqvn
656Please respect copyright.PENANAiFOnIBVOFA
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.656Please respect copyright.PENANAisGZYq4Jup
656Please respect copyright.PENANAo9wlkB3Ogg
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.656Please respect copyright.PENANAz4uQoccRkJ
656Please respect copyright.PENANAYSUbRJbnVn
I frown at him.656Please respect copyright.PENANAGWF1mzgVY6
656Please respect copyright.PENANAjxukPuL7iQ
"Don't say that."656Please respect copyright.PENANAj1DFQJrHoT
656Please respect copyright.PENANAvtGFhvNMKr
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.656Please respect copyright.PENANAxevcEK2DLY
656Please respect copyright.PENANAtkgbDs6Mfz
I gasp.656Please respect copyright.PENANA7k0sefnIWP
656Please respect copyright.PENANAllwLK6uaYR
"Jere stop!"656Please respect copyright.PENANAOmmpgbXr51
656Please respect copyright.PENANAFQKlgFN9QO
He goes on.656Please respect copyright.PENANANMNlhdC8S0
656Please respect copyright.PENANATjBLv12OM4
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.656Please respect copyright.PENANAXOSCRQ4179
656Please respect copyright.PENANAkAH6C8EzQB
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.656Please respect copyright.PENANAslJwndOgBd
656Please respect copyright.PENANArOXnlRKpAB
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"656Please respect copyright.PENANAmiHFo3HKLa
656Please respect copyright.PENANAdpGki3I0Cx
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.656Please respect copyright.PENANAIich9lgFwI
656Please respect copyright.PENANAACR3hLGRp8
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.656Please respect copyright.PENANAiDhHwikKJs
656Please respect copyright.PENANAB4qihWOArD
"I won't."656Please respect copyright.PENANAUWthyj6RfV
656Please respect copyright.PENANAHNcjaphZN0
He obeys, watching me soberly.656Please respect copyright.PENANAuYCPmxyMS0
656Please respect copyright.PENANAHw7n5WFMWe
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.656Please respect copyright.PENANAfFFp5Z6JEo
656Please respect copyright.PENANAck3kN80B18
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.656Please respect copyright.PENANA7k2vJLoBAM
656Please respect copyright.PENANA1YPW3E1ZvN
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.656Please respect copyright.PENANArBEi7GZzBo
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.656Please respect copyright.PENANAxXC0sP16wj
656Please respect copyright.PENANAZd5bJL4rSg
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.656Please respect copyright.PENANA6YhBfg1YTW
656Please respect copyright.PENANAQAgaOOgQGQ
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.656Please respect copyright.PENANAkHxeeuLX2I
656Please respect copyright.PENANAYs6RH6MgMp
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"656Please respect copyright.PENANAoPImj8cDpF
656Please respect copyright.PENANAx3CT3tXnHc
He tries to nod but he can't.656Please respect copyright.PENANAb9ulNcp44O
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.656Please respect copyright.PENANACpAUDbSo8H
656Please respect copyright.PENANAkojSDNOK3R
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.656Please respect copyright.PENANAqlQY2i02Oe
656Please respect copyright.PENANAYyRbFCYFoH
He looks up into mine.656Please respect copyright.PENANAosD0uLDECM
656Please respect copyright.PENANAx3qGZW0w7L
"Don't leave me." He whispers.656Please respect copyright.PENANAMLNGDsnWO7
656Please respect copyright.PENANA1pgEFR1kpy
"Stay awake." I tell him.656Please respect copyright.PENANA2j81yN3UB8
656Please respect copyright.PENANA0nEVWG9nHX
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.656Please respect copyright.PENANAOO49XqKktE
656Please respect copyright.PENANAxpk6KqoCZW
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.656Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Z0aAM9bx
656Please respect copyright.PENANASefebRpZNS
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"656Please respect copyright.PENANApLdCNnI0sB
656Please respect copyright.PENANAeaLAi4b5ZV
He doesn't reply.656Please respect copyright.PENANABXZq2O63ds
656Please respect copyright.PENANAcuXEqjC4x5
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.656Please respect copyright.PENANAZXDh9PbrZ1
656Please respect copyright.PENANAq3jbXExkAa
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.656Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ86MzUvYo
656Please respect copyright.PENANAPTPzD9GrRl
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"656Please respect copyright.PENANAMMw6TDyYFu
656Please respect copyright.PENANAyAL4GIY1a3
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.656Please respect copyright.PENANAf5VZoEt5GE
656Please respect copyright.PENANAAHpSfrdEgm
"Stay awake." I told him softly.656Please respect copyright.PENANAQAsqnrk4NA
656Please respect copyright.PENANABUqclhDaju
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.656Please respect copyright.PENANAthKcGOQq7r
656Please respect copyright.PENANAsKY1m2hWPc
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.656Please respect copyright.PENANAfX5spZGpCc
656Please respect copyright.PENANAsviJrGKOFq
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.656Please respect copyright.PENANA7vxfYo4OF0
656Please respect copyright.PENANAE70aQ3LtGu
"Kiss me," he repeats.656Please respect copyright.PENANAkaunYN4YOb
656Please respect copyright.PENANA4fQwjQWo3S
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.656Please respect copyright.PENANAp5JZP1n7De
656Please respect copyright.PENANAVd1g5Bf3Xq
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.656Please respect copyright.PENANAog3qbFrjmF
656Please respect copyright.PENANA5PJTYAEvFb
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.656Please respect copyright.PENANAftgWkR9v40
656Please respect copyright.PENANAbgi6HdftR0
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.656Please respect copyright.PENANA3gJCuzFACX
656Please respect copyright.PENANA1bSgKQkSku
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.656Please respect copyright.PENANAihNTe3RIXK
656Please respect copyright.PENANA0EvLFweb6u
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.656Please respect copyright.PENANA0lV7D7qR4L
656Please respect copyright.PENANATj1VymOPVE
Electricity races through me and lingers.656Please respect copyright.PENANAVCl7rITTpL
656Please respect copyright.PENANAVMEv95mIGR
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.656Please respect copyright.PENANAVncq7xLuPQ
656Please respect copyright.PENANAqlhUeUStTD
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.656Please respect copyright.PENANAzFGKvNrm0Q
656Please respect copyright.PENANAuA9DJMl0V8
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.656Please respect copyright.PENANAtaPPtYuHet
656Please respect copyright.PENANAfM5nooIOJg
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.656Please respect copyright.PENANApvQl7BX3qW
656Please respect copyright.PENANAQW98p249IA
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.656Please respect copyright.PENANABIdM8O9zuO
656Please respect copyright.PENANA00TUPzaWUh
"Jeremy?"656Please respect copyright.PENANAtLzk69LsHq
656Please respect copyright.PENANALEPQ8MpFYV
I shake my head, not believing.656Please respect copyright.PENANASmNGfIRPpr
656Please respect copyright.PENANAHlMJqp77gO
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"656Please respect copyright.PENANATCQuZoXAHM
656Please respect copyright.PENANA2a8oOvtDYQ
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.656Please respect copyright.PENANAOTKGtzMvpQ
656Please respect copyright.PENANAfuJ24GODAL
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.656Please respect copyright.PENANAGcqUGQ094h
656Please respect copyright.PENANAYbRkf1C8Pv
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 656Please respect copyright.PENANAU1dJe5A9nE
656Please respect copyright.PENANADqJ7onex3M
