I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.654Please respect copyright.PENANAaOMAq71MFV
He's shaking underneath my grasp.654Please respect copyright.PENANAIFZ9U0vDXl
654Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Cz2fk80e
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.654Please respect copyright.PENANAlNuT0GvHww
654Please respect copyright.PENANAcINIf73BOp
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.654Please respect copyright.PENANAhFUTqLpkhu
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJsFjczbS17
I smile bitterly.654Please respect copyright.PENANAReoIhlrhWG
654Please respect copyright.PENANAkWMSXSXssf
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.654Please respect copyright.PENANASsFRZdCfmF
654Please respect copyright.PENANAffMeoHYzUw
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.654Please respect copyright.PENANAShpS6eFCYM
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2wngua0Ar
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.654Please respect copyright.PENANAI8zNZmB3xF
654Please respect copyright.PENANAj0ZoCZS05d
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."654Please respect copyright.PENANASI5RgevqWd
654Please respect copyright.PENANAx3c5qhyCt0
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.654Please respect copyright.PENANASv90QXDGjg
654Please respect copyright.PENANAGX63m0mMeh
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.654Please respect copyright.PENANAQpixEIqDN4
654Please respect copyright.PENANAP0DQq9sNzv
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANA4jKcl0NuCJ
654Please respect copyright.PENANA2jhE8SimLQ
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.654Please respect copyright.PENANAvBIGN6qRCi
654Please respect copyright.PENANA4e2LJYMoVX
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.654Please respect copyright.PENANA2rMNwoUkrK
654Please respect copyright.PENANAPhJXpdEZpR
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.654Please respect copyright.PENANAeJuGJv3oeP
654Please respect copyright.PENANA9sCxq20zJb
I must at all cost keep him awake.654Please respect copyright.PENANArBy1yZVNTe
654Please respect copyright.PENANAdQVVYbMdSh
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"654Please respect copyright.PENANAjUPEchwAiu
654Please respect copyright.PENANAuxjfH9Jiy3
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.654Please respect copyright.PENANAdF3P0VXILd
654Please respect copyright.PENANAhOQmDGbKmh
"Not that long baby I promise."654Please respect copyright.PENANATNmbFge7Ps
654Please respect copyright.PENANAIsFDRdFnpo
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.654Please respect copyright.PENANAKksaDxxVIM
654Please respect copyright.PENANAFJKA275j3f
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.654Please respect copyright.PENANAnFzvNQH9Z4
654Please respect copyright.PENANAtao5EF1mjL
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.654Please respect copyright.PENANAG0TzOLVvRp
654Please respect copyright.PENANAGL9mNWDlnz
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.654Please respect copyright.PENANAZMMMIp2RVa
654Please respect copyright.PENANAmD0hrWWdv2
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.654Please respect copyright.PENANALWOWmW2LTa
654Please respect copyright.PENANApJLg4ikDiQ
I frown at him.654Please respect copyright.PENANACnlryzsbwV
654Please respect copyright.PENANAlbNj2Ffc7W
"Don't say that."654Please respect copyright.PENANA6nr72NzqjY
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJYALLPok7c
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.654Please respect copyright.PENANAllYDkylFjU
654Please respect copyright.PENANA0lHuy5w8nm
I gasp.654Please respect copyright.PENANAgPe9fcZNAF
654Please respect copyright.PENANAjKhovtKwK0
"Jere stop!"654Please respect copyright.PENANAiBh7pLmTva
654Please respect copyright.PENANAiHENvdmshY
He goes on.654Please respect copyright.PENANAyx0Z13pHBU
654Please respect copyright.PENANABqBLPbEU5v
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.654Please respect copyright.PENANARVcA1XyFkr
654Please respect copyright.PENANA1PyqxcGMcb
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.654Please respect copyright.PENANA5hSDqbCLJv
654Please respect copyright.PENANAUTnkcsTn1k
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"654Please respect copyright.PENANAkj7NQTBAUy
654Please respect copyright.PENANA8yRSH9tJqL
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.654Please respect copyright.PENANAPFWlXigCWd
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8b0RgOUfz
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.654Please respect copyright.PENANAdZRYbKXxJC
654Please respect copyright.PENANAVECRfcgsxL
"I won't."654Please respect copyright.PENANAcgRweByy30
654Please respect copyright.PENANAMHEgPfWKLZ
He obeys, watching me soberly.654Please respect copyright.PENANAqGbGLMXeY6
654Please respect copyright.PENANArR4km4aaGn
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.654Please respect copyright.PENANArDKhDjH0yE
654Please respect copyright.PENANAHbRdUMWyG0
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.654Please respect copyright.PENANAa1bkXsJ6E9
654Please respect copyright.PENANAMQmmFSSAfe
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.654Please respect copyright.PENANAjNLUzHJ9R1
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.654Please respect copyright.PENANAYykNhrO8Qg
654Please respect copyright.PENANAXOqBh1UzQz
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.654Please respect copyright.PENANAxYGWlWJrMu
654Please respect copyright.PENANAzdHnOo8ZoQ
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.654Please respect copyright.PENANAnz4o41T3Lv
654Please respect copyright.PENANARPWijb4yYA
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"654Please respect copyright.PENANA9eXjwnLGJW
654Please respect copyright.PENANARHAUonm1XB
He tries to nod but he can't.654Please respect copyright.PENANANRhUC7vl63
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.654Please respect copyright.PENANAawixPW7vlp
654Please respect copyright.PENANAFAiKwbaa3V
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.654Please respect copyright.PENANAnAa5C9OEDq
654Please respect copyright.PENANAIFwY4p2lNJ
He looks up into mine.654Please respect copyright.PENANARJc0KGVRnw
654Please respect copyright.PENANAs8fm3cQk2o
"Don't leave me." He whispers.654Please respect copyright.PENANAqmaK7TS0KX
654Please respect copyright.PENANAoKMzw6NMAR
"Stay awake." I tell him.654Please respect copyright.PENANAWQZFcmCe7Z
654Please respect copyright.PENANARW8AEb3dNV
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.654Please respect copyright.PENANAz16R9lwXFe
654Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZACnCydca
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.654Please respect copyright.PENANAJfvJoK7Vjx
654Please respect copyright.PENANAiNvG0ClRHj
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"654Please respect copyright.PENANAlsb35PDpLI
654Please respect copyright.PENANAazL3Jftret
He doesn't reply.654Please respect copyright.PENANA8ggoGM4YU4
654Please respect copyright.PENANALeoxl5aOMT
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.654Please respect copyright.PENANACAtDkfZ0pd
654Please respect copyright.PENANAgVW5AWi8rl
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.654Please respect copyright.PENANAfuhFjkvsRy
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJV9imkH5Lr
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"654Please respect copyright.PENANAKfv5aAKZFQ
654Please respect copyright.PENANAuKcjPy43h6
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.654Please respect copyright.PENANAZaKK5kh4Ec
654Please respect copyright.PENANAeJMKb2qmvG
"Stay awake." I told him softly.654Please respect copyright.PENANA1bR8x4eZHJ
654Please respect copyright.PENANACBFJRlCbE2
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.654Please respect copyright.PENANAQIQLU2t9IC
654Please respect copyright.PENANAZQfLFQ0hZd
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.654Please respect copyright.PENANAA8hrmnbtqI
654Please respect copyright.PENANA6kHa9parsw
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.654Please respect copyright.PENANAKOGKwLl0XU
654Please respect copyright.PENANAwFHWjPwVS5
"Kiss me," he repeats.654Please respect copyright.PENANADIIadLQFFx
654Please respect copyright.PENANAKK981dBfyQ
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.654Please respect copyright.PENANAmct8GuIFyo
654Please respect copyright.PENANAtFVDYoAWJO
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.654Please respect copyright.PENANAlr46lr3wBJ
654Please respect copyright.PENANArBx84CoqAh
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.654Please respect copyright.PENANA40KKtc7w77
654Please respect copyright.PENANAq4FxSKGCEx
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.654Please respect copyright.PENANAXh0ymLOum5
654Please respect copyright.PENANAZtJ3RR4A9h
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.654Please respect copyright.PENANA0AQHW1KYDQ
654Please respect copyright.PENANAIVDSgT3DCL
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.654Please respect copyright.PENANAcNrhyMTLGk
654Please respect copyright.PENANACofURHC0FJ
Electricity races through me and lingers.654Please respect copyright.PENANAuZoKWDqVwV
654Please respect copyright.PENANAcarBUoeIaO
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.654Please respect copyright.PENANAsKhGBDz5yc
654Please respect copyright.PENANAK7XbLNzZf9
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.654Please respect copyright.PENANAXv3KJEtitU
654Please respect copyright.PENANAClns7Pes7V
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.654Please respect copyright.PENANA863yjn54Jm
654Please respect copyright.PENANA1lujsOdNRX
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.654Please respect copyright.PENANA6uZf2xUg3i
654Please respect copyright.PENANApAYUPzUUR2
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.654Please respect copyright.PENANAzDNyCzKlca
654Please respect copyright.PENANA4EKWGg7kCF
"Jeremy?"654Please respect copyright.PENANAMF6mgVDHN2
654Please respect copyright.PENANATmmJybxngc
I shake my head, not believing.654Please respect copyright.PENANAJUmWbiUd99
654Please respect copyright.PENANAWxDmzcATcz
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"654Please respect copyright.PENANAWfMFMmYZqR
654Please respect copyright.PENANAQbVgeRqijW
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.654Please respect copyright.PENANAD195GZl83I
654Please respect copyright.PENANAM1dFUpC5FD
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.654Please respect copyright.PENANASCkH6yVyZ2
654Please respect copyright.PENANAsRoblPeLs4
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 654Please respect copyright.PENANAclqdKYwgPH
654Please respect copyright.PENANA9Klc3Nwlgm
