JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwKFThw2hH
He's shaking underneath my grasp.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmpQU6ywBx
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWV2Qz6Hm3
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2n2u9gedP
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq25mk3KtV
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjU3iro0F9
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxzhwMBeNQ
I smile bitterly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5AI4eSsZ9
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReSXxtVoL7
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ43hzaDaF
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf6lE4966t
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkngVMw7I1o
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv6PHB3IDU
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv4r8LRSxG
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfVtuzFsm1
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wUr9JYCiH
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL5VyXuegq
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cTTPvv4nF
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EolXw5MOh
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OVPvB3Bp8
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbA4PZ8na8
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.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO523tSW7H
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT9XxMnz5Q
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdExQi6ijba
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCWTmKZdmH
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU24gJCQfTR
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvlRCIERB3
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99N9Biypnv
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhcirijD4u
I must at all cost keep him awake.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhBPEOmwmq
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv70QaxuHKY
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh9u8mJva9
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ9P3LezIk
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQyML0pQd8
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LftbvJpZ7
"Not that long baby I promise."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY0FdE9DFO
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU94t8GsrgZ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc6xpaWXex
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFpHruDSYy
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGbamA2Ogj
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTIvsu7FHw
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUGh76CAn7
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshcldPb8hF
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirRskAKDX9
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmwask5Q1r
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFwfRkhIM6
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ9xOKMBWd
I frown at him.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYKP6JGIDL
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIYUpdJV5m
"Don't say that."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmALorX4R4V
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4T1qgYc5m
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Va8xSaiMa
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMpUYZUkO1
I gasp.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmOkkrSJEg
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5eud1Cc86
"Jere stop!"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkB00auByE
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4PgJ2Et9p
He goes on.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2MN14MuMm
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VjkGKBW2N
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHhsIvsRHe
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvgEAv3YSq
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFtQyMRiWT
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLZ67Jr2PM
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNhhivs3Q9
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2JmDf6Jdp
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkgmhBmi7v
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3CRbcdwns
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWrConGwzb
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumhyC4YQtt
"I won't."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJTnUYoGX
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23SVm63zXi
He obeys, watching me soberly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf0AGDgW5X
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglOG5X7CoZ
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEvH0QDCXH
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCZEHq5uYT
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFvq2iA29W
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRINtj0Eq5T
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmebXMvsRRw
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29LrqaWCQQ
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIqAhMVPo1
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKPuPswmNp
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAavrjFVijg
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePv4KUH0Dk
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uwaz250aG
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l1HK6VsTG
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ENnOUrPpb
He tries to nod but he can't.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wx2mHp0WJ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6bhJvhM5n
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmqNjyRz8k
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw804vq7XF
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYVp4DIsVL
He looks up into mine.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA29B89DTsw
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4CNUBLbyy
"Don't leave me." He whispers.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH4gCjJzdM
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwRRh2mnZU
"Stay awake." I tell him.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5z2syzS7F
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2V2A9HcWl
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5qlWOvo1h
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG87qalXEN
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoVJEzJqFI
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoMHRXCg9E
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jALBVIIuJ
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xmoCqIiFp
He doesn't reply.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9xHd7euE
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64IHxe5rkZ
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSomBnk2Qlm
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKLYD6SxLx
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5UNp01rlL
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmzieafE5s
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRutNik2F7
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdszKcJs8K
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDUNI4DzGR
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV3XNid7Q6
"Stay awake." I told him softly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxLpbxZ19n
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yi7ZkhTCo
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGslPZxI2C
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8cFI0jQve
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OEuqw1o8Z
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0wV7iCz9c
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zyRNvSXSs
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbWGPNX2hA
"Kiss me," he repeats.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiBPqxczSS
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91OqAm3jIW
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW7Fr58JKD
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uzvcYpTKg
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJlufeCrdX
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BCDgln1Nk
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jGWkwR19V
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqc0qtWAE7
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrBF3N25FC
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9w9EBst4i
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Pvr3Ug4s
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rShOm6uwY
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsrxZLxL6T
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5xkr9UjQW
Electricity races through me and lingers.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBlYM23Xqp
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f23GcSTI5
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssKZqvObJG
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG1Pjzr4pH
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM8IfqyUUf
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwewNuGSMZH
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4dNyrzW9Z
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yeLsddzbA
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6caSduOxH
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Nzrrkg4O
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszeE46Q54h
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4VA0CdM4p
"Jeremy?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIfODlsF8M
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDH1SGbHfQ
I shake my head, not believing.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zZ4AXsckv
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEVOyimQ3R
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXFSD9AgDF
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFWXXd97IX
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGCxkwv7MY
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBtzxlFKIn
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNzieHs8rd
728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GKfBDeSlH
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbb1y6OI7T
