JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA0teD58oj
He's shaking underneath my grasp.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHrzTEskXM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtewTSAudb
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQGRTIsjXd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeVMcYmEFx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTQR0Q7bG5
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARcpqOarvy
I smile bitterly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedY0hg7vVR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CfmqG5o1m
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNBSEBfUbb
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXevzsWFHi5
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnMRa1zpRJ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zkW8ZwO1J
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfQUWl4Nhk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OzkHNvpN
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcuRH1gdb
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8MayZmQEG
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhCnMDIfpy
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgC1vvpiNs
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvCn5AAIHo
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdcRlsTh6H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2VPlANTsl
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHxiSK32qN
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbkNXSlOLf
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8OWZ61NoR
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKNtdqCNTj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp835o7Yh6c
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z3BXOCs3V
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbggQaXQ9G
I must at all cost keep him awake.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT9M78yR16
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Qu0ceg88
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8caufEh7u
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLMhgR2nsw
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ZM7C9UoO
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg33YgKyiG
"Not that long baby I promise."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrsZzXzBCf
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg74sJXzl5
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaHnmBXquS
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74QkNgyc5B
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtL2aUzfSl
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUIljyjyIu
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj9VIc1Cus
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uSC1x73O2
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EYSQHAWep
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeW1Uv5thQ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6I1ghokCT
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZVkZdJqRJ
I frown at him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuPgQHe3aX
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNz5BIMjZf
"Don't say that."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMhHP30WDP
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17GdAXI15w
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkZ5Np6Iw6
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO1fMT9AHc
I gasp.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4IVqooyuE
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBm63ddZuF
"Jere stop!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC0Iqdj4so
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmuv8faG9x
He goes on.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKvuZHRzFK
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwLXAxTncf
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuSUvfJk28
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolXxxKVDS1
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GFKA5cB9R
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGo1D0AN5t
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFB81HQAPv
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXomE9mUjck
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFbVtNHdo3
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UIIVxGl4S
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqce7lzi4i
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28LecwwX0f
"I won't."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW22W3JMNs
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDjachKzAh
He obeys, watching me soberly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMLJ2Mm3er
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5LHEi2hdX
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB9KbHLilC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan8o7O7Pre
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0AQqs7DgF
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8TItmziGE
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhxaYE5Gh4
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQFdyCgUlW
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoztljwrPOz
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5k1eFtxHr
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabM7CCuic2
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3svFdQPzk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau4CQQuUwD
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JzrCEWlNY
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmkz7cLcjF
He tries to nod but he can't.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojDSMxxsHS
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeifeBWOWv
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl338nJTnw
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ultMFWbh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdqcI57oH3
He looks up into mine.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WmHQCl9bx
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYVRyRuEVC
"Don't leave me." He whispers.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8fh2h6HDV
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz3l0OlQxT
"Stay awake." I tell him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6i9qyFgDz
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO5DxG9D4D
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGvrioxyRk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeJrEBFVx5
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ82bJ5s7RQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk2yMAiFL5
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXBXnHh0HB
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLihscHxUzt
He doesn't reply.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuG2h47tYj
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FU8KKNNAN
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKIt1LdpIx
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaFsRIDKna
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuok5Be88ZZ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHhuhF7ALG
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡourldlADtS
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dl0pIBRws
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftuyjBt6Jd
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Pc32it2O
"Stay awake." I told him softly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaF8txO9q7
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKdJ86Y5q7
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKYoDi9SFD
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHdNt2RVWD
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxECHxeKVAh
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQtyLrzLQH
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ATUZRg26o
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuMVgZbVrd
"Kiss me," he repeats.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe2xhQ4L6r
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHWXsXgXWo
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0aeDnR9AR
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC1tWlXyzz
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjvtUUPrTp
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBjX5R7qz
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAG8r9K7zQ
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxtybCQDrM
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rH5IttB9P
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18sidmtuYM
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MEoZX0cSP
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXemNaFly5
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjk5qrTzAg
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPXLJqNQUF
Electricity races through me and lingers.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EDj0xLHPC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3YNxzGbDw
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJrnrs8Xao
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmeStXMW3T
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhni6CQ8Ayk
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu1CBqeDQk
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebG1pf0j0E
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF2SpE5qxb
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFsOtEt76v
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzwDG2W7f7
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchiAOvy22G
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBoXusTTBa
"Jeremy?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApFze9cN4Y
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSfMRw7R8X
I shake my head, not believing.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3GtQtOqXa
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Y1MVxzny
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxibMLEZmXL
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcqY0Ogy4X
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM7JRFcuJM
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2q2N5lbG2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe8ko9gvaC
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu64kX7RAD
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJNclCo1lC
