JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0XBchh2xD
He's shaking underneath my grasp.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzEU0mZqT2
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGFkS7dWnY
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mx67AtupU
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQQcx4kucy
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe70d2UanZ6
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyATz7kC40
I smile bitterly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pXcrFQxTo
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr2UOLwKzM
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ktkad3TV
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JkDxkq2DJ
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEoBcuMWHo
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWsHrsyGId
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGjoj9Tchk
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5QXTQynHj
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhnYPLTlyI
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWmObiChMY
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUbjZoTlFn
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL11YmBoFYo
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieEwajQw0P
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRN8nvvEFq
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.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYLjdivKCK
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU6iWA11KO
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9LKJuf6mz
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxiFw7IRUo
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBwCMzgb9r
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fKdbQUwdo
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpNd73rA4f
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgOU8xKX6U
I must at all cost keep him awake.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX84f4HwmRS
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wevkl0bCG
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN65gisvjHa
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lgZPwt7r5
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNkWh87Q0l
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQktjCKiiqx
"Not that long baby I promise."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHCgI2JM4r
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZywx5hVej
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg169pbwou
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ443tI4P7Yi
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhtDZRpQaF
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFkePk8BjQ
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HHqFljnGE
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpb48MB8Bk
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RMlZNWEOy
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvN6k9gpaV
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpI9OT3xMz
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LIM0aSK3f
I frown at him.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBBZR6XheO
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmUtjFLKK8
"Don't say that."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRHe6jNqr8
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYMegiKBW3
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoXX0bWKba
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rRQxM4riV
I gasp.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBamCeVSPcj
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yQlkgjlzY
"Jere stop!"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRsht54Pbv
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiQ7Iy2vmC
He goes on.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHok4tM3A4F
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yiPlVBJvC
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7NkgvkySX
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ZubZ7AgO
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDARjhV5wH3
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwnwhoP8C4
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXIFhbeeHr
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLTiLFdLvn
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySpJShFBQ5
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYjScY1zjC
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS8wA1ZIrG
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w7txP90rx
"I won't."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzdqA6krWA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTrass8ReY
He obeys, watching me soberly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOMrqPhlu4
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtU53PvPVu
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEuoVR0XD
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88MqQ3kTUO
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelPcI2gDNy
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0HAkcaVpd
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bEv8aCrr1
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m0iKrn5iC
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUtJbqOFQl
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSSOTWQLHJ
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzwsAxR3L1
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxHi0LNo1n
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhHdUAKhW0
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtbmaDJAZ
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51vI9ualSe
He tries to nod but he can't.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8FgQraQTO
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbox3cYeDC
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfxCrtDrRx
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB6M91T7d8
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp46NpSocaL
He looks up into mine.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUrg7jpGca
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTOTev9QJy
"Don't leave me." He whispers.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPPk1jJl0t
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUwb7Yj9VH
"Stay awake." I tell him.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnHSvsGmnl
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLaiwPE7ft
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXsVEfI7Ta
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r9kmA8UpX
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyjOY276kn
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnuS4BO6Fo
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsjehJBxGx
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlzIQzfdke
He doesn't reply.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBpBLPEkZq
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QU9YPe93e
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvik8ZBaND
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEMeKuwCHv
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsVsukk8H4
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6TNU4h9MW
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb8o5HDn73
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i39GIZQAh
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5279dBqeo5
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ1uT0G71I
"Stay awake." I told him softly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRP7vaqksz
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzv8tq5sSd
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRMTDq8FYx
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEMsq00NV2
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBj0cym5Ou
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm0lXNlqRj
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6V1Wdreh0
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7UYFxpED
"Kiss me," he repeats.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkwBejYX6b
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYszOiMGQX
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GF2fF9an3
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPHp96akFF
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PEuJ60CUF
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NR0yNrhFk
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqhkc2Msv3
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTFu7HMUBJ
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr3nWCUGmL
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxgtyZTrQZ
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2RaQO79qF
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09zwvi1Vcu
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzTodXtH0S
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogqdZLc3C9
Electricity races through me and lingers.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz6MBTIunH
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngGV1HCyjZ
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfDihvvaS
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI6KtpwbkA
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqaC4QO1Q
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mQ5jjQ685
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRXF35nalh
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeAeFVRPzC
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4OTqL76Rh
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7cmFDfkZ
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauFz9FZkX5
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ8ZYoiLOB
"Jeremy?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx8pZlDCBl
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhcLF3RMDy
I shake my head, not believing.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuPwF6QYFH
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki3OB4cPev
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrEyWphjuF
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWug1WnoTO
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2TBvy6ybX
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLKvURK0Nd
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhluCdV6dZ4
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuy1d50CqL
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQGVo4wO3l
