JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK8nXMfkZ6
He's shaking underneath my grasp.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGiB2zS138
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgMrkNCqeM
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PYFkqPSlE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOFVyTuGCH
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcRajX5Ivx
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfxHbljsiK
I smile bitterly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOPKIMC952
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoJkA3x3Cr
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9KAHuvxo8
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8zJ2QeUu5
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1C49WU0hA
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYLiYS0GvE
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzs1XxHDxk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZp5OLzBxs
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36V6r7158F
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtTXSeIUqf
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2MkqpZzL8
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3OTRDOBq2
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZViQAPX66
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eu3CBOFXA
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1L2JNPXia
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VPdJqdc93
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mhK6XPIfh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYUvC3PbRN
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24gJCxA1Yh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYtVFJqG0
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsiMtK335R
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGRBWIpmDs
I must at all cost keep him awake.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ublPFM4X
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8C2C3JVq
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zcfxiyhuR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhow9ausu3
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iTlucUEfH
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ytMxs0J1
"Not that long baby I promise."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx1QtmkKUb
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePKUFwEWWx
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXJw6U3Pnd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX6HYG2RQv
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D4W8fECup
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfKymCO8vM
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KIgqJPEaX
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk918QXDm6r
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjViicIobQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hr5iIwBpF
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4hdVLZjgm
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ip4DtZ8HM
I frown at him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF2hqtxZQr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5jDJ8sFna
"Don't say that."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP20nxP6TuK
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4726pOv1Lg
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh3wFtBX36
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYHwcYgUx5
I gasp.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg1XAeYj4O
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IladHfnek
"Jere stop!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkWBz1rAA3
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSn1Z96BjT
He goes on.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQclubJqbon
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPjguWDAGN
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO82n6sCsie
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHCvXNx0mD
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1r9WRHCzs
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPWvJJiNVl
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOKC1gOKse
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodd6uaekvM
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapWPipt3VE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa0zbMvjFG
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkw8pynTiV
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY95YQB0z4j
"I won't."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMRxa4TKcd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyEik1xWPY
He obeys, watching me soberly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys9TKe1NJ6
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzsXLhHdP6
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ6YwJyp2r
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcOla4eiQI
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2XQkp4t0a
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg59Uc6s0KH
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTD5iCHo5o
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavm8OVohCc
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtFcC9fury
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaKiM8rjf0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUFRlfQURY
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2CjVGKCiF
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvur2Wy7GJC
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5d47tzpBM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewVhVwjS7I
He tries to nod but he can't.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUZxLX6dN
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5XVZ4cd2e
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bwIN8eToi
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeXtj4Va5R
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjslcYN9tKz
He looks up into mine.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFduHKyfcy
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q5VBxlZd6
"Don't leave me." He whispers.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbAQg02ecI
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F3tO1b7r8
"Stay awake." I tell him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFEMghvsRk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeNok2b3Yh
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFr12ktQoa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7whg3KBwH
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd68iWzqbKT
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e53619ll2
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb80BarDBzd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlZ5zcRA6K
He doesn't reply.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd79EWh4ylR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPwHXCElhC
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrS8htATqk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEv4Uvbcss
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXaKTYbxyb
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETWIfD890E
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAkgew2Blh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHR7pTYdLu
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27AcFXhAgW
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNjR2yjZF6
"Stay awake." I told him softly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WR2Xhq3at
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ0wjuD9qo
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7J49HLNX8
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZoleSGu15
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lYMawipYZ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0idmnZTsk
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3F8ZMUrT7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2xQ7X8bTz
"Kiss me," he repeats.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfqV8mWMZq
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQONGqHAx
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KR2kLUDUJ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVQkYSNxoR
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2BEvY886
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bVvecjgTg
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdUvAY66eN
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0VlePZ14n
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0nR9tewqa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMJ03nvX3w
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZrHWQoAX
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1xB5N2Fpz
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhzooXxmz3
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGWcq7sxKF
Electricity races through me and lingers.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7kA4Xrcs5
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvM45tMUaQ
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbuGq2oL71
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2lwOYUJQX
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4qQx290ZS
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvTEwVcPJb
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGiiz4vkYL
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe582cKPw6T
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiqFtT1RDX
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIkcTaDAwc
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n5vTzPw6t
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DqnvuMV18
"Jeremy?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhepNpwFwjb
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDliTtd68y
I shake my head, not believing.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rb3OOs3Ov
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUxIHOqRjs
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQQtMPxXz
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiTHMsGNHA
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sfjpcqyQw
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J5dzB8gR6
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S2sHq7zda
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutYmlktmjp
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywfwYXnCJm
