JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo9c6PCitR
He's shaking underneath my grasp.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsK3dGq1Oc
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbsnQ1UWEU
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp9jGRGkV6
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEU7qzYAYV
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFVyMoBstw
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD3cRShR0c
I smile bitterly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCNcypcNsq
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Wha19WgU
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpse867ZGR4
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd3c8hJS9u
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXVloFJkJt
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSKvoEP0n6
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZnAlUSpB
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWcc1uZeNI
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzGIKaWRO1
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkGx2G6nt0
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eKBKkKgXH
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpD2Wckvtt
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtyURSN3A2
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qcExGiVBK
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.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcez784HUa
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AV85Uulxn
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGtIxCyi4a
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEdnKkIz33
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNluRE0GaKV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpJPDVIgr3
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWx1THoyV
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkYdGrJ4oF
I must at all cost keep him awake.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS992WKeBp
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYUFRNXsE5
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmUtoZxyeS
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGdG86eJlP
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAg7vwi2gQ
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKbEyNAKQO
"Not that long baby I promise."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcUImNz5aF
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ZpKZKTC0
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO97tNRuQy2
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoBH1st2BW
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKj55vKwc4
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U0kDA3fQa
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg2eew6R8n
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGcsU8tESO
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQgmhThCre
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUi31xBzxu
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ938KpycVQn
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwVm43z5pR
I frown at him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Y4MFPQnJ
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSsKbeXJkM
"Don't say that."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1L606VIrT
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O3xofjPTg
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2kd8HntSt
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEt3wVcKvR
I gasp.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI0w9FDZBd
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfiCqbYTmF
"Jere stop!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOhuPI6IQ
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ahATVGaW
He goes on.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhJaZY1nuu
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoQWSgTVR7
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXpMEXUbTK
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqXe1Eifmp
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5d8OqHGMP
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUKzj4zSHx
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjixKZky6iY
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8rS6gXBK3
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6RbCpYoXd
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7TyuejgjR
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQJnDk9xpF
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCBIDxof8C
"I won't."759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYwGWqm5QB
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEN3aaknx3
He obeys, watching me soberly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1Qa7UAvY
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsMK14sRuP
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQZa33Hlk0
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ike6B7lf1
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJGPlPJgZX
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJkKnYhB2t
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvMChcptHX
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgpJUbrlXU
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2tk4dHE8X
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZ6vHcjvA
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBABrQEXZe
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWP67E5mP
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W5KoeHS5c
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid103rYij2
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWESaHG9xRd
He tries to nod but he can't.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonE3Uch18c
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvu3DpjZA9
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnuqeJoluW
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ggEvomg1
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluqZJnIqlW
He looks up into mine.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xVheBHJtF
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltUd9MLck
"Don't leave me." He whispers.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iQ5JzbTyt
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6iKxxT5Q1
"Stay awake." I tell him.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD5lrnUejH
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbDv9Izz6w
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGSIf4e4vh
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVIynzYlsC
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJm6nNJp4F
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ4OPDtH9l
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3sQknR4Qu
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdZWGodXxf
He doesn't reply.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQQzcaJLNa
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBJphhiQEy
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEIbc5jDqm
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT033oKfkV
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsQykLy9Xe
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYyOnIpEGP
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrOwly5Kzu
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoyYvlYJMh
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNKbbBdcWf
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0og4RwSWkZ
"Stay awake." I told him softly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0QqnjxmIJ
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgg1MPKRNS
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JauicphMI
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBDEdiofhY
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qvhJn97o
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPn865UUIP
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wx0M67E6R
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2WrtolqJ
"Kiss me," he repeats.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnT6oA1X5R
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4lpXZ2H5O
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHFgodtaeO
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCy7R1USrB
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4HX7QMM2D
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4U89dFkyM
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL76XqxEj6
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5wZ0E27Rl
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HTqgpjagp
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk0DMDQQ6i
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O6GMDldJF
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7KqXGhJAz
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJfqisyDx1
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4yCUXotVv
Electricity races through me and lingers.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpztAiNJvI8
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OlHuptEyH
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8UiWWuAs4
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ08T6GxiWJ
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQlDxXU77A
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH8zAplH6k
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGb6ijwdsI
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqajRYGBIX
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuitlACEhg
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C5zLpaMrO
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwUdpotcge
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuk9gIEJBF
"Jeremy?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqgHGYG1R0
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD72qo4jwjh
I shake my head, not believing.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLxfzXMlKN
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPg1GSevj
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmgr5ImmDR
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu8GxAsMI1
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoaVDFGwRN
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMXXJrtTxj
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCiOh0kUwh
759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bnlj1JsiV
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 759Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgE5wp3ifR
