JERE828Please respect copyright.PENANA4WA7pIU5R4
828Please respect copyright.PENANA2YOMKK3kYM
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.828Please respect copyright.PENANAk4E9LmpztA
He's shaking underneath my grasp.828Please respect copyright.PENANAdy6Ir62TqH
828Please respect copyright.PENANAqNzxdNKOQC
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.828Please respect copyright.PENANADnq87JcvPi
828Please respect copyright.PENANAMmEIVr7gBx
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.828Please respect copyright.PENANAtp6VA8e1qb
828Please respect copyright.PENANA1uvCtwOLnk
I smile bitterly.828Please respect copyright.PENANA2CApleuRQO
828Please respect copyright.PENANAUb6q2gQ0uo
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.828Please respect copyright.PENANAjmvVgmJgad
828Please respect copyright.PENANAN7VPwhomJ1
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.828Please respect copyright.PENANAhul2yLl2M8
828Please respect copyright.PENANAWMmv7j9Mgo
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.828Please respect copyright.PENANA884aDpGqv5
828Please respect copyright.PENANAuJOYj5Z19R
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."828Please respect copyright.PENANAQiQ7bjcpvE
828Please respect copyright.PENANAagrANQgCNo
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAg6zLCBm5MZ
828Please respect copyright.PENANA9dJOL07yIt
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.828Please respect copyright.PENANAgu9ZDzcWAm
828Please respect copyright.PENANAUkLXz8Qnpj
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.828Please respect copyright.PENANAqY8G8BvwQe
828Please respect copyright.PENANABUe824oDEk
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.828Please respect copyright.PENANAoBB7nDgkPP
828Please respect copyright.PENANA7T1EjgSmJb
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.828Please respect copyright.PENANAujwdlhLM1I
828Please respect copyright.PENANAugzBCeYskw
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxIrlswwZ4H
828Please respect copyright.PENANATofICCqpgW
I must at all cost keep him awake.828Please respect copyright.PENANAWBNppAHCpV
828Please respect copyright.PENANAu8wY70NORh
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZcnyJKvti
828Please respect copyright.PENANA41fjkpJmBf
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.828Please respect copyright.PENANAVpldWv1h3R
828Please respect copyright.PENANAoVw7Vz2tBU
"Not that long baby I promise."828Please respect copyright.PENANA5InIlUnwAF
828Please respect copyright.PENANASkGtJpXzWP
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.828Please respect copyright.PENANAHcTOniXlKz
828Please respect copyright.PENANAC2FYBwzR7j
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxpL6IUmP7j
828Please respect copyright.PENANAfwXMaw5uR8
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.828Please respect copyright.PENANAm9okTvCkzX
828Please respect copyright.PENANADbBSYAg7ks
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.828Please respect copyright.PENANA0kFDq9AjJj
828Please respect copyright.PENANAo5qIBSJ3Q5
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.828Please respect copyright.PENANA7XWYvmJP9w
828Please respect copyright.PENANAugBY6iGHou
I frown at him.828Please respect copyright.PENANAALNCRhTOMq
828Please respect copyright.PENANAkOqoqV7dyT
"Don't say that."828Please respect copyright.PENANAWbTvK1ZF5Y
828Please respect copyright.PENANAURv0MNjuW6
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.828Please respect copyright.PENANA3BS0VVdTKD
828Please respect copyright.PENANA4meTtvRxPH
I gasp.828Please respect copyright.PENANAEYuc256460
828Please respect copyright.PENANAeyqC4McWOA
"Jere stop!"828Please respect copyright.PENANAW0bcXtN6P5
828Please respect copyright.PENANAjSUtXO3tcY
He goes on.828Please respect copyright.PENANAaVKZe5KutF
828Please respect copyright.PENANAAgCnGYemZ9
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.828Please respect copyright.PENANAAMUZoC1lFm
828Please respect copyright.PENANAHCP7UxIMzh
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.828Please respect copyright.PENANAbWj1w2g3jc
828Please respect copyright.PENANAzsB4IMDiy2
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"828Please respect copyright.PENANAN6spBdYLjH
828Please respect copyright.PENANAJP9GF69lHf
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.828Please respect copyright.PENANApC6CoOIQ2W
828Please respect copyright.PENANAgUiLBjUcS5
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.828Please respect copyright.PENANAWuXOZXpiXf
828Please respect copyright.PENANAcj8oxclkAC
"I won't."828Please respect copyright.PENANAeOHK9Lmef8
828Please respect copyright.PENANA9yEmC0tar9
He obeys, watching me soberly.828Please respect copyright.PENANAEb2exXr3hg
828Please respect copyright.PENANALwnRDNCKU5
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.828Please respect copyright.PENANA1daBIawedJ
828Please respect copyright.PENANAFiNYkXMwkn
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.828Please respect copyright.PENANA6W8waXf2Ai
828Please respect copyright.PENANAmB6EAoZWP4
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.828Please respect copyright.PENANA9NFqCAHQIS
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxTvF5Bix6h
828Please respect copyright.PENANAmTk6ZsePuT
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.828Please respect copyright.PENANA6bw2Ml2zOi
828Please respect copyright.PENANAqGFS8WwLmr
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.828Please respect copyright.PENANA3qzBzJJO4c
828Please respect copyright.PENANADmrniYGGFT
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA8DxwSSivpt
828Please respect copyright.PENANA7QiFMoGYwA
He tries to nod but he can't.828Please respect copyright.PENANAtg7j9kmAYw
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.828Please respect copyright.PENANABZwXmKSrDa
828Please respect copyright.PENANACbhaeTj8Mk
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.828Please respect copyright.PENANA36mkIjh8pX
828Please respect copyright.PENANAszk9oRULeq
He looks up into mine.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKbbN6shDmY
828Please respect copyright.PENANAQBmonPgde8
"Don't leave me." He whispers.828Please respect copyright.PENANAzDsKz1gAjC
828Please respect copyright.PENANAc2naRsfqah
"Stay awake." I tell him.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKnqUWRwj5x
828Please respect copyright.PENANAErREyJIWH6
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.828Please respect copyright.PENANAcap7vF6bAC
828Please respect copyright.PENANAq1oQn2zaiK
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.828Please respect copyright.PENANASOqnF6KnOH
828Please respect copyright.PENANAlr0qj3yZUV
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAuGCSiVKSRY
828Please respect copyright.PENANAZAI1bo3ctC
He doesn't reply.828Please respect copyright.PENANAnpNnaYtETy
828Please respect copyright.PENANA1uzYZnbUKQ
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.828Please respect copyright.PENANA2HYNkXiT2P
828Please respect copyright.PENANA2h05otTzAY
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.828Please respect copyright.PENANABAI5YGuBB8
828Please respect copyright.PENANA85Y9cojLw3
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"828Please respect copyright.PENANAcEJUrmZd4j
828Please respect copyright.PENANAnahANwN6oq
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.828Please respect copyright.PENANAf4jTpipzf6
828Please respect copyright.PENANAmW28ArKhGe
"Stay awake." I told him softly.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsziVFTJ9w7
828Please respect copyright.PENANArzOVF5Tmci
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.828Please respect copyright.PENANA2smIJrccbN
828Please respect copyright.PENANABazkOa52WC
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.828Please respect copyright.PENANAMT2sThnZRE
828Please respect copyright.PENANAHHukQYf6st
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGlRgtYthSJ
828Please respect copyright.PENANAoa90iuS40R
"Kiss me," he repeats.828Please respect copyright.PENANAXh983SZoWE
828Please respect copyright.PENANAn1HRrp7z5b
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.828Please respect copyright.PENANA5pOIXiIvdM
828Please respect copyright.PENANAYB9nrWTaFW
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.828Please respect copyright.PENANAwcXiMVCADu
828Please respect copyright.PENANArehGTAa7MF
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.828Please respect copyright.PENANAgatKxXuF9H
828Please respect copyright.PENANAeFOGryxfgI
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.828Please respect copyright.PENANALI13qInvY0
828Please respect copyright.PENANA6SoRXjdven
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.828Please respect copyright.PENANAMJCCIFvoyX
828Please respect copyright.PENANAAk9VgdUuWE
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.828Please respect copyright.PENANAhMuDgj33AW
828Please respect copyright.PENANAFy8BDUuooa
Electricity races through me and lingers.828Please respect copyright.PENANAhbmBdbleCN
828Please respect copyright.PENANAIfkMyLGXe5
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.828Please respect copyright.PENANAblT9mNgT1o
828Please respect copyright.PENANAbT5jtxpd03
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.828Please respect copyright.PENANALv9eqgLR3z
828Please respect copyright.PENANAvaSWASmJ0n
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.828Please respect copyright.PENANARlXNmlxeQt
828Please respect copyright.PENANAeWwPP3GAGP
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.828Please respect copyright.PENANAyjneVmLPKb
828Please respect copyright.PENANAJh8iynqYWW
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxW73dSNFBx
828Please respect copyright.PENANALCWDRznO05
"Jeremy?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA5iltW0li2W
828Please respect copyright.PENANA7BgFTcr9eU
I shake my head, not believing.828Please respect copyright.PENANAnPqxICbrf2
828Please respect copyright.PENANAj89cItKFKL
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAhh3s3JOXX5
828Please respect copyright.PENANACd9kK9MjKC
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.828Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ083cu6nX
828Please respect copyright.PENANA2SoUAvAEQX
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.828Please respect copyright.PENANADqgEy3z18c
828Please respect copyright.PENANAdAfPJCKX6C
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 828Please respect copyright.PENANAEygLXipghS
828Please respect copyright.PENANAaAccEs2C1g
