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
