JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtYe4y4x1t
He's shaking underneath my grasp.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaXI899FTh
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE9onuofQS
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9u4XXOGo9
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixn7m7AnHw
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi0vf0PHKw
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6YTkTSvWG
I smile bitterly.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQam5JBwgck
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Cq397v65
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknB14V6W4t
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ijCZC9yHd
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U3k9NK5Vr
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYCdwFZBfi
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EYb3YcGNo
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJi0YZbRns
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI4deec0pN
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCrGteU6DW
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIajR3Pi26
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQufuCP2xR
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndBIlcRae9
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIGFNwka95
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.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGmmegcIS9
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUYwSIRqw
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa70RnfWT0E
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz8l4h0RuS
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ON2d4Nq0
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOehqjbEIg
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZvzTcZiCu
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48bP9C6nK1
I must at all cost keep him awake.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERMuJds3QK
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1s3Y9vG3U
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw67LsshUd
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXV0CBqBVr
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetZ5wvD13m
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7NCtATLx
"Not that long baby I promise."735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKGaf58Kc
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQGCQhwsEk
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrnop0ue6C
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvFpPSHecW
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQFj7tSg5w
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkWKu1YNaU
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5YWKcyohm
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYkTQ4WfCJ
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXSonzbLOk
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKJErieUGa
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZGQgjcprP
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2QQuLU3K8
I frown at him.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwxPAvpNP7
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1y2lcU3Nw
"Don't say that."735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgvIyOizdu
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92PQKoBu0l
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wDUGc42Sa
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Dh8Xi3N5
I gasp.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK5JqqfeQs
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIzaPyFnX1
"Jere stop!"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90vqNTr180
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucZA5giGLG
He goes on.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKKOvvDDzy
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFPAKIQrGb
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tskQcNNxQ
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynf6rhl0lz
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxisCYXX27
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgistXIsgG
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXvACAM7Iq
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ohn5dqh4l
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhJ8QSfcA0
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95m8SRcoI3
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPb3tmVmsu
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkvAjfDwV
"I won't."735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlDl8S1dAS
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde8AykjRko
He obeys, watching me soberly.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq45m2MeAIm
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUXR3AOYK9
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOifYNVqpDL
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiqdUlgJzZ
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe16dxQxuCi
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5HVoQEGBg
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLOvPjPWqr
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4jngR3hjc
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTSZL6Sh8s
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpvoD6dbIk
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr3EHiwBLa
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRjlnMqeno
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0jbaOvqVL
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8aBYvFnYx
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS6l6nQE6X
He tries to nod but he can't.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb28Oedoxk
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39czdBLquV
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmYp4eQ1bo
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cq1hTd0OQ
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr29Lts8Uq
He looks up into mine.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GUNgxSxMy
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNYCMuYIvJ
"Don't leave me." He whispers.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEgVQubwRS
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cXIyiesEn
"Stay awake." I tell him.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUtGfUKQQk
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHxxaNKqAa
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Oqyv9UiG
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWiaF9Qqxd
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2jV9QuxgL
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfauG7hs2F1
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgOJpi9z8h
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlwZ6dELdo
He doesn't reply.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ4P9z3AoD
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64r8ws9vpc
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfYloFTora
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I5TCZfj3m
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOkPw0BbJX
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYArwmyMBuK
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U3wRqyaLk
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ztDUC52VI
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkJVyK2gOz
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl40OYFmpv
"Stay awake." I told him softly.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBvSGO6etN
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMIfU002cw
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzquJ6W5i7k
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY4SRNArIH
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWeBK7EYq9
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBxOcBmMw1
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwsZZa8lW6
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiLYhdLSu0
"Kiss me," he repeats.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw39j57RiW
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPrpTsGH17
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FwFZP45UX
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXglLsf9aB
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvIrw9dera
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGbZ6v72fF
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMadq8Rj5y
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgoYiSl1sH
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNrqql6UUC
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DvNSXn4Pe
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VINlzIzlo
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpe2ooHKKo
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HPfLNcKlv
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSxWMVfr15
Electricity races through me and lingers.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmnNVX1LGK
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmEvlJ6cNN
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vqSlJVmBW
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpOabaAti
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogVTh6BfAa
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDLMuXeM8M
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSnhy2KeLM
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgqprNakw7
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuNFRqkrfA
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH95oqlMqF
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9RiSiVFT5
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEryLn5ekP
"Jeremy?"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZQ6PmlOOd
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UPguGXTMz
I shake my head, not believing.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeQr3RA1bK
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69kVjkD7R4
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kN54MHmIM
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvelFQccEm
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuplfI68Q7o
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6cIhTJIxA
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgSou2XJu
735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz4hNqiOTn
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 735Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf1ohd6z3u
