JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJwtLsSFxC
He's shaking underneath my grasp.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHCKGnThXl
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOKbN1JlQU
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMIKA4Ol62
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCLXlmgTkc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bxwUqcuJt
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdMfnkvjL7
I smile bitterly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LEtXbs2R2
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFzuMSYyGr
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPwa8lE1o5
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wFwoIaxMh
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ956mgeT9oa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY1juSAYnI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oE3oOgKe0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mGreSEyfW
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq2HYaecbk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv77KgXwGsh
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVAObAJsN0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR7cmUVFow
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF2GgOjP8a
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgwfNJD1ca
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKV9Y4iCzV
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcmXv5bVYP
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpC23oOnob
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeOI2KOM77
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROlxuJ7YMQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5hCvGyq9n
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7YSAGbHwi
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91g117zbOX
I must at all cost keep him awake.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFdxR2s08b
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2hTF0urxc
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLITuDiLf1
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkl1Wvwe1h
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXsTxSe7Ww
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7lguxY4cy
"Not that long baby I promise."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM0M0KbY6e
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsS5qTxL7W
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA8oOyZleN
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCxv7plusd
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4AWvdSyvG
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYrGE8GjTC
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqTa6mHFjM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4daMn3kVqS
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD0NzjDYWo
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeI3SXMKUB
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBvSMTCy1W
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHspFtqFHD
I frown at him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRwkkCb8pC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAQEwKuGdm
"Don't say that."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMzdLRrcRV
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGvSorvlkm
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIIQfSGiB3
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJL2dItmBI
I gasp.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kuvGPhd2A
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspI6Amjkwk
"Jere stop!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpisK05R1hn
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJHGuCrWsI
He goes on.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO37y2byoK
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUBWrKLzOK
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLT7f93FfY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5N5bUtZjn
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrabqmbdOsd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7yLKZdLpb
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI1k9qt599
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zB4Jwy1NB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1CrloXIDw
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wLypJ2fuK
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvx3H3VFcr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANYypOlJUa
"I won't."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbWhaUT2cd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR3gJNWspm
He obeys, watching me soberly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3mZiLLrAk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfJ4731BdG
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oADsIg4gh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxSoc8w8Hd
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ZwqKyCK3
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGenupOozP
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVSbzlhJ8v
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr5fsfjjJi
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1mt69tBEf
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJcErkwHG
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFJbL3T4BM
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRsC7HuwwA
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMloCynCiir
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWu1bdinlp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MZWOUodod
He tries to nod but he can't.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnmY6cigqu
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsBn3fNM9c
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcqT0os4cy
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EFa4VU9kZ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tTQy6FNnE
He looks up into mine.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVIkTULMRM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE2YLLwRz9
"Don't leave me." He whispers.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOku6IMFzt
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG1GKqp4OG
"Stay awake." I tell him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHZyQS22fP
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIDVhIGA4X
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpRsHHUSc7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSVhTnnuTe
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryovpjCjeA
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMlFOcLEMW
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3zOBmjv7R
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB60fep7yD
He doesn't reply.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzdvqZFpQU
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpFpk8oEQY
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTePgtDbUr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4qrvwzzRa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7hq4zl3N
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRnMfUDQno
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5nUKAIOqj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmaju4YLMa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq6ApkxDxa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl3ryNWVnB
"Stay awake." I told him softly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimLTiNUwhC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO3HCYrJ9v
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzhzOgsWhQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YVIm4sZYu
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OSuWXhLs
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIOwwD8slb
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERn61YbXil
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2TvcXeIn8
"Kiss me," he repeats.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Ei288eo9
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2MooiU1Q2
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54cCjfejTK
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UkiyBjQ2T
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYOHNa1Fi9
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdZuleBYqk
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIzeVJMbFw
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqahaPNQZ8
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtd9ChwHyp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxNw8wuuBr
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY7VUClruG
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1JPXb2JWX
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam8vVLEzap
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyX52BMQBc
Electricity races through me and lingers.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8ac9OwCAF
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe1dglAmfS
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQzo91gm54
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4PBsaSQ5z
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e1Yw7H3vr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPDBksrcqR
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYbeFInCnt
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldU96Hle78
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ2C6Rz3Xw
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx3CAL8mFh
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MO2uQuLqF
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDZ4VCzpBc
"Jeremy?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVpjfaoCvL
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8YtpJswlB
I shake my head, not believing.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wrz1bXj7x
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWsPv0TJr3
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50WucDZ38f
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYqSR3PMU8
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j5iaMvk3l
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokB0ByqsYz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQRKIepvRI
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwRuhw1jjF
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11MV0j1dfA
