JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEfySXHuCk
He's shaking underneath my grasp.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2UkTJjDob
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdC6BqfYLj
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpRx40a2oH
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWMhNJ4I3s
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnyDhbNjcr
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc3KcWJ9HQ
I smile bitterly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0R6mi79ND
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZPaBYOqBF
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gejHelxrb
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lb6bg4jzJ
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WN0qHlDBR
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkdkAYQYnJ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUFKhgaGdf
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1gHVI6LWL
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpE7GZVGGb
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvhQxm7lNL
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVI3Xto0EN
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqqa0D1W60
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERPzEXrqEK
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGJJIC330N
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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShQCutiXHs
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fEyRfELZD
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZBF4AwoGz
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOz2je3tFA
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1spo3HgxuV
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPfuA2xbBz
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdbHsUbOTE
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uMrwXKQ0a
I must at all cost keep him awake.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuYLS5npCD
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0hCZTxPhJ
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecNWU4B0yH
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Q0IzH7rL
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tJbP3I8d1
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUzeDnXKU2
"Not that long baby I promise."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXL4jjdu1u
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga38YJreu2
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx6vG3hKWb
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvWPDPSdUf
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwZBIdbdSR
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekc03fqBSn
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98wSJGKGEM
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsqdxW5e6
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4tjH8Qtte
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCDbgXRxnP
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bRxbGSX32
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmFxG2ROzU
I frown at him.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiiw638Jju
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZxRCopgO7
"Don't say that."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mkb40G6Oa
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvhGL06Phj
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JjRjzEeoa
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jWDvsEvj
I gasp.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLzgK1GonF
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UjP6ETYci
"Jere stop!"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhdAgfJ8xg
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mvbHQeXoy
He goes on.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfuJXbRD6O
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgtVbFt1D8
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5yBjrZIDZ
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vb7g0B96s
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N6Jc2dyQw
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Px356Mfb4
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJqlYLAy5s
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeNEbtqMIq
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzWhrkKUKj
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO9YekRBxj
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ukbFIhXM
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpfay3uXAQ
"I won't."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOP5HCJl2o
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWEkOfTsZL
He obeys, watching me soberly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0nunx0lvF
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZvGsoaBlC
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk8EwphkLK
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHupjEQY3X
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccOL1641WK
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIUQIbztT5
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1WxUURTSm
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnE9k1z833
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSw9oSAWOR
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeewBzoNrf
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAa8tlezHM
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUtnHFUoTA
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAtYiIWmcJ
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg2WeueNtC
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKmp0ynlOO
He tries to nod but he can't.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEIODQ0LWx
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4qz2JOkND
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2jo8HGwDw
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6ayRpl2M
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGjrWtsyyf
He looks up into mine.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV9HjBnbmb
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vfb6dJ9rC
"Don't leave me." He whispers.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5dr2ErqRn
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqxZnbT5QB
"Stay awake." I tell him.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mBW2fLMhp
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R5HdfH9a4
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15oa8inkYh
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty1SZXJBcP
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eCvyXrS4S
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gbODdIXID
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY0crK9K3H
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgj6K4Lbpb
He doesn't reply.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbawbgagp7
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rqutgoRrw
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg8l0w6olQ
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgVVejTJDg
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ihb0hIuVX
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteGDDZ3ZBN
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNlioc8Hm1
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuvv4bNtmH
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxUaEhqRQr
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ8S9SOYbs
"Stay awake." I told him softly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf1Me9k2yG
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVZOyVubRN
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDfsYVqa4U
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVy7P084of
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqw2RL9jdf
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosaFpD18AH
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPCHu92PPr
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyzwjxl6vx
"Kiss me," he repeats.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVj19X4fxq
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco45l2sH4W
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyNuEeExFp
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL7DitrMRA
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7RmrLKUTJ
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrUcXdmcL
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqMlYtzHRU
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03gJQbELWY
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDQtZTJX0x
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkm5KDJ2xr
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06KtpLB6z
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz0vLfhkxl
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZSY5k5LO3
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJncB6fCYs
Electricity races through me and lingers.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S7uZKgp6N
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8InsgLKfP
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzlw0TRWMn
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9h36KVdhz
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPDbCaDBpg
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiZtcAXaQO
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjpodIukzy
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB0QUnOwlc
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eXOPxd4OC
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGfT047Yrc
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWOwK3zLls
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKQPr6jJfJ
"Jeremy?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbDsQ9gujC
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQbFWwgjFu
I shake my head, not believing.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFZMwXcTTM
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HsECJRisM
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6nrHNumgE
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm4PJxVUCD
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRoUY4w9AX
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4QEAMz6aM
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ASg27eZrY
757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqC8ldOQAd
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQbMI9jjm
