JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzDhWcHRY2
He's shaking underneath my grasp.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqYE87cLQl
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkB5FYXHA2
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz81z5jI20
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ubPdIyGk4
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6bL2Fe72r
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dpqao5PBT
I smile bitterly.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj9R14cZck
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViye8tWJMH
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8w5AVI9M8
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1uBz8QU45
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvcW3YlP9M
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdufzc2JRG3
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqgdH8MvEX
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7JatFQ5G0
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgzVFcMxr8
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbq2z4Cxlt
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQbUFgVYX2
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JQyJnkbgJ
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQcuRlh6M3
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp6gG0HxmA
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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YLcrlZUvS
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmRITZb4RX
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWMmthNDQf
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0l4CwADGH
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9orNQrMIdJ
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18cmW91CyR
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoQlPmebzj
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJPwA0qqBR
I must at all cost keep him awake.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMs1tS1R3B
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZiw2R8HNU
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5MQQZSZDC
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sSgyaucll
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWncAP4UJV
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhu4Z2Qd7M
"Not that long baby I promise."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP2HD8SYIw
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOU7pX4N9M
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz65gsukspo
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIr0vpNHnZ
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u0fo9ea7O
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcQB7pwYqa
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxA1DBDgVt
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKtNRBB5Ch
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8VWxgz8na
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiVheDY2r0
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNaHWdv7nC
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1UKb5ZoXh
I frown at him.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcUh97TVUZ
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY7tCcpEIn
"Don't say that."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Wa3yprJI
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOrHxJaZEU
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qfnkiUYIX
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSbwCDSphK
I gasp.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ol37HoUjl
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jYxp2fDYl
"Jere stop!"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAR73qm1GG
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iepaNb49r
He goes on.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C4fB5ZhTr
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wY0L94glc
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaTcLHwZrY
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3gROM7cdm
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF7JXTIDwj
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7zL18bYsS
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWnkldfTGc
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPe1ehaIvC
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhAHWHEbk
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6W3ophbZB
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzBQN0zRwE
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp089mb9L7
"I won't."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBDC5eQFLX
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaINyWpE6g
He obeys, watching me soberly.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuY8b8anTe
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYjso361Dl
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWlItkHZP
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazvWyUP6CE
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8JEzOrko7
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGN4UtJZNg
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7MaMqLOcf
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1J3ib7NrP
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0NpeMcC0G
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDw5yOUZi
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogFeHaB89H
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCqaLaGeC4
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrocOcEGkOm
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHckhjQNDDa
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GMLCDTCgS
He tries to nod but he can't.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU0gz5AbS5
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXwjLQZN9V
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIYiue6qrn
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnKQNw6ipQ
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xv6PdSmL6
He looks up into mine.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtki5bbbYx9
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c8cLFwPJJ
"Don't leave me." He whispers.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqNHn2WNd
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m98wZ1UhC
"Stay awake." I tell him.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHndDV3PtBw
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B8uhBcEhy
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVKosuqJ5O
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WUyfLrICa
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OxLRh2uxZ
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE8jRaGmAp
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVvjTJyyKI
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvFT3ZowHQ
He doesn't reply.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzHAhMOHik
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pLt4TA3Mb
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8CuG2y2Uv
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvfhDn5k8g
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNHZKN3D5L
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzFHIKRBVA
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5L1oXWtdD
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7VQwkK75z
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7vGhexR2Q
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B5AA5vchY
"Stay awake." I told him softly.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqYeHsrb36
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR8OB2F02E
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIlWtNgOid
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLahjvfcriw
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE81fzQbogW
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ64khq48LE
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsw8sya4QK
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnuQk704NN
"Kiss me," he repeats.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl8VYAtCIJ
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDJsfMjX9x
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ej9xYEdO
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdbqHDm7ZW
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9x5VWnHZy
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Op6ELRofA
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMygjahH6O
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROxyaxSEio
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dcL6LZPIc
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvikIw0muDB
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSKHxARTJU
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMHvRav3s9
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomoupHrWNO
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUVuec6S2n
Electricity races through me and lingers.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvxElI3D1g
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oQnG9fdpK
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9JDnck5BW
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuUaDQa0HI
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zpw6gyZ9H
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzWoBn0J8e
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeyWUuWtxD
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jZEGojpDJ
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8dz0rUnLY
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydLekhh8Fe
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIOh3xubVC
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Njf0jkql
"Jeremy?"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP0z6cTuH8
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscQ5tYMayj
I shake my head, not believing.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKqd8dLx6b
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDrrSOW5iy
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVa0yYDSWp
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwn6silt2a
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9LQ9f241u
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcKwCHNxUs
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bASdJAORk
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzohdfCMeTM
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz77Nhoqm8
