I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.703Please respect copyright.PENANA0ugwixTRqW
He's shaking underneath my grasp.703Please respect copyright.PENANAqTkzPiVNf5
703Please respect copyright.PENANAPvC4c5Zn4x
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.703Please respect copyright.PENANAWRWL1o1GtL
703Please respect copyright.PENANA1txA6ntDbm
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.703Please respect copyright.PENANA0yLIvXfVT5
703Please respect copyright.PENANAnNnO2lH8xr
I smile bitterly.703Please respect copyright.PENANAnzuUHaedQ4
703Please respect copyright.PENANAr6Pw8eA2kI
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.703Please respect copyright.PENANAhKF2ezCYFp
703Please respect copyright.PENANAJGkIWQBMQ6
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.703Please respect copyright.PENANAunWkH23JBL
703Please respect copyright.PENANARZ9zX8jPue
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.703Please respect copyright.PENANAIlb34dEsWY
703Please respect copyright.PENANA6YPg4VwwC0
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."703Please respect copyright.PENANAykbChuDI5E
703Please respect copyright.PENANAHkhTc0JUtN
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.703Please respect copyright.PENANAtj4mwdJP6o
703Please respect copyright.PENANALW95lHs1mk
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.703Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Uf4JKtSt
703Please respect copyright.PENANAFgPJY8QKEq
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAJpx7zsFp1k
703Please respect copyright.PENANARtqAIg3ROV
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.703Please respect copyright.PENANAbgAfr0HeP2
703Please respect copyright.PENANAnAVrvsoIFJ
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.703Please respect copyright.PENANAxuaJcNzSfY
703Please respect copyright.PENANAUXTaIcpq1c
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.703Please respect copyright.PENANAfbsqk7iSVz
703Please respect copyright.PENANAnPCSKtbtke
I must at all cost keep him awake.703Please respect copyright.PENANA5xq3oTEfsE
703Please respect copyright.PENANACYtcnBERJi
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"703Please respect copyright.PENANA7pnFmtoOjh
703Please respect copyright.PENANAl39PkZq8KJ
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.703Please respect copyright.PENANA5773wDl7CN
703Please respect copyright.PENANACN79eTN75F
"Not that long baby I promise."703Please respect copyright.PENANAukfAud1oqn
703Please respect copyright.PENANAkwuawbwGZf
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.703Please respect copyright.PENANA4ywXmSPDaM
703Please respect copyright.PENANAqYWnsNUFka
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.703Please respect copyright.PENANAoTAuFwmKML
703Please respect copyright.PENANAVZXmyT2mM7
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.703Please respect copyright.PENANAvGC1lD6839
703Please respect copyright.PENANAsTfZVrTIsv
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.703Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ46vlDizZ
703Please respect copyright.PENANAokSX17A4vU
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.703Please respect copyright.PENANAO8CsznQ7Po
703Please respect copyright.PENANAIhvlbyqPOK
I frown at him.703Please respect copyright.PENANAKtv4R8O0XP
703Please respect copyright.PENANAIq10yVCl1U
"Don't say that."703Please respect copyright.PENANA7AAByVtPlD
703Please respect copyright.PENANA70e5bjTuHQ
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.703Please respect copyright.PENANAGVyZOJTjhu
703Please respect copyright.PENANA74VEiq3mGi
I gasp.703Please respect copyright.PENANAAId9FXA18F
703Please respect copyright.PENANAmZG46SQY2S
"Jere stop!"703Please respect copyright.PENANAEHUILKkQyX
703Please respect copyright.PENANAIwlkL5izbv
He goes on.703Please respect copyright.PENANAhw2KRtU1Gq
703Please respect copyright.PENANAL737PIAvuy
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.703Please respect copyright.PENANAWfZLdy7tOR
703Please respect copyright.PENANAWsHDyIvmoT
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.703Please respect copyright.PENANAinaDdyDl6o
703Please respect copyright.PENANA5C6wNBPBki
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"703Please respect copyright.PENANAd8kk6f1veF
703Please respect copyright.PENANA4hBD0QkKUa
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.703Please respect copyright.PENANAeksdMl0kZo
703Please respect copyright.PENANA9fAIyNT1UW
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.703Please respect copyright.PENANAs0LKAJghhA
703Please respect copyright.PENANAHkfkiNa46y
"I won't."703Please respect copyright.PENANAOS8yWhw8Eu
703Please respect copyright.PENANAbcQ7qoqXuT
He obeys, watching me soberly.703Please respect copyright.PENANA8VTh1OdpmY
703Please respect copyright.PENANAvl6s8GMq9z
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.703Please respect copyright.PENANABi4ymul0Ju
703Please respect copyright.PENANAewucaxLunV
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.703Please respect copyright.PENANAJfKtDIWs7U
703Please respect copyright.PENANAhrEhAn75dw
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.703Please respect copyright.PENANA1iOMW6UR1x
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.703Please respect copyright.PENANAT6C9gyFaxg
703Please respect copyright.PENANAu9YwtP592S
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.703Please respect copyright.PENANAXdUmlqMV7f
703Please respect copyright.PENANAIwrjVM5qCE
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.703Please respect copyright.PENANA5mwL7eWwMg
703Please respect copyright.PENANAM7x0lMLWFE
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"703Please respect copyright.PENANAFonYgkuhLv
703Please respect copyright.PENANAJZax6ac427
He tries to nod but he can't.703Please respect copyright.PENANAe2MhMvGKun
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.703Please respect copyright.PENANAnxKEdG8Jbb
703Please respect copyright.PENANAN0gEDX4dyE
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.703Please respect copyright.PENANAMvjPRUxY4z
703Please respect copyright.PENANA9hEqUdYkZL
He looks up into mine.703Please respect copyright.PENANAuQdoEJOB89
703Please respect copyright.PENANAXrMHW5NpIv
"Don't leave me." He whispers.703Please respect copyright.PENANAUaPBswlrkD
703Please respect copyright.PENANArKalvii2fH
"Stay awake." I tell him.703Please respect copyright.PENANAUqO1lY1eJx
703Please respect copyright.PENANAiTaXamV4EJ
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.703Please respect copyright.PENANAoHciSKmXqY
703Please respect copyright.PENANAbS4smPAJcU
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.703Please respect copyright.PENANAL9YHyAqgjt
703Please respect copyright.PENANAzEw8QGVXxh
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"703Please respect copyright.PENANAMv9KK6jyA1
703Please respect copyright.PENANAuXddbKQC5v
He doesn't reply.703Please respect copyright.PENANAFabqWGGtG6
703Please respect copyright.PENANAvL0PsBSMTE
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.703Please respect copyright.PENANA6S130L61lS
703Please respect copyright.PENANAGPamU3ioGg
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.703Please respect copyright.PENANAf7wbhivPpA
703Please respect copyright.PENANAsTBB7WXCSc
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"703Please respect copyright.PENANAq9Br8b4Di9
703Please respect copyright.PENANAAkOoCBfptj
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.703Please respect copyright.PENANATIJiwD1lOF
703Please respect copyright.PENANAmyWxMxGFuY
"Stay awake." I told him softly.703Please respect copyright.PENANAogzZTxbvi5
703Please respect copyright.PENANAy8Mrx5MQMK
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.703Please respect copyright.PENANAbMa9SMQu3D
703Please respect copyright.PENANAg6TJSGcepu
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.703Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ8sMKAOZF
703Please respect copyright.PENANA6XXkt6dwhu
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.703Please respect copyright.PENANAd2kAy3M1m0
703Please respect copyright.PENANA3H6tnldiM4
"Kiss me," he repeats.703Please respect copyright.PENANACfNADewNXC
703Please respect copyright.PENANAbYss6lLmtv
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.703Please respect copyright.PENANAEaIGouHQgO
703Please respect copyright.PENANA9PzPaFRciT
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.703Please respect copyright.PENANABjsedp7gLV
703Please respect copyright.PENANApGCQC0lzWa
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.703Please respect copyright.PENANAcgaKSSN3je
703Please respect copyright.PENANAKrajhLodi8
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.703Please respect copyright.PENANAM7AMQ7jOlU
703Please respect copyright.PENANArG6YVkZ9Gc
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.703Please respect copyright.PENANAlw5HmCrkNX
703Please respect copyright.PENANA3lOxkE6E6B
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.703Please respect copyright.PENANAFznQogc5r3
703Please respect copyright.PENANAx1aTA3gUck
Electricity races through me and lingers.703Please respect copyright.PENANAhIg3iPT885
703Please respect copyright.PENANAYTDVFi2qYV
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.703Please respect copyright.PENANAM5F7olTS8X
703Please respect copyright.PENANAOhMSeEJHjK
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.703Please respect copyright.PENANAz3XcsStUiy
703Please respect copyright.PENANAnXcTCE2Ui3
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.703Please respect copyright.PENANAOf3zXjffuL
703Please respect copyright.PENANABGe8SIjLFj
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.703Please respect copyright.PENANAkXwYnUGGXb
703Please respect copyright.PENANAp5y8m6fkYC
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.703Please respect copyright.PENANAnCsc1Ij8CN
703Please respect copyright.PENANA6aThDzVwMA
"Jeremy?"703Please respect copyright.PENANAAUyA1Su9Sy
703Please respect copyright.PENANA3IOwTKad50
I shake my head, not believing.703Please respect copyright.PENANAMrOljewpw8
703Please respect copyright.PENANAmkDX0EiqqV
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"703Please respect copyright.PENANAJrX3ZeSI6J
703Please respect copyright.PENANAfixWK1Dw9A
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.703Please respect copyright.PENANAFuwLXXt5Ln
703Please respect copyright.PENANANIFufZB88l
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.703Please respect copyright.PENANANYCrviGdb0
703Please respect copyright.PENANAMo8VumdBhK
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 703Please respect copyright.PENANAYfPwFXl6vl
703Please respect copyright.PENANAYrtyLAY3N4
