I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.482Please respect copyright.PENANAQq7V088sRH
He's shaking underneath my grasp.482Please respect copyright.PENANA5frWZsCZsj
482Please respect copyright.PENANARzg6HqVYmI
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.482Please respect copyright.PENANAd2wS621QYi
482Please respect copyright.PENANAXDrQzS64yd
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.482Please respect copyright.PENANAo8nWSfVsaH
482Please respect copyright.PENANA0yvjHMWjzF
I smile bitterly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAyms4O0Nuyp
482Please respect copyright.PENANAf40cw6Jwp9
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.482Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wg6zl0e3K
482Please respect copyright.PENANA59az6Ebfg1
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.482Please respect copyright.PENANA2xz8X1vnVV
482Please respect copyright.PENANATlOiXCxMGV
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.482Please respect copyright.PENANAUkOrE6itON
482Please respect copyright.PENANAtiJh6nAS6p
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."482Please respect copyright.PENANAqaZBBekr0w
482Please respect copyright.PENANA4xJUed5dQO
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.482Please respect copyright.PENANAhMB2COL7Q0
482Please respect copyright.PENANArzIJVWFR4f
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.482Please respect copyright.PENANA9WylmiNY78
482Please respect copyright.PENANATrMXDU4iop
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.482Please respect copyright.PENANAHARaK3pSfu
482Please respect copyright.PENANAXKccOZk1iT
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.482Please respect copyright.PENANAOMdsrFjZHH
482Please respect copyright.PENANAXisL00Y3Kg
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.482Please respect copyright.PENANAl0IEJetG1X
482Please respect copyright.PENANAtdeJCMfC8L
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.482Please respect copyright.PENANAedCghwEiWv
482Please respect copyright.PENANADjJEvjoABh
I must at all cost keep him awake.482Please respect copyright.PENANAiHIcOzS8su
482Please respect copyright.PENANAMJdvi7Yy2v
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"482Please respect copyright.PENANA223wjhAa4A
482Please respect copyright.PENANAaKKfaouYVU
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.482Please respect copyright.PENANA2LYNzzJAWs
482Please respect copyright.PENANAnMUezpJEGO
"Not that long baby I promise."482Please respect copyright.PENANAPkwGKYtZ2O
482Please respect copyright.PENANAmsGDTS7Cq3
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.482Please respect copyright.PENANA97AK05xAkJ
482Please respect copyright.PENANADWllkYNZHf
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.482Please respect copyright.PENANA0HZbACEpnE
482Please respect copyright.PENANA24lU6aG17h
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.482Please respect copyright.PENANAalEkJNeRum
482Please respect copyright.PENANAI1ALFPqteF
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.482Please respect copyright.PENANAi5vHJXetAg
482Please respect copyright.PENANAK3op0F0sDX
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.482Please respect copyright.PENANAjK5WReDwl6
482Please respect copyright.PENANAH5UzndZW2J
I frown at him.482Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ4pJKBOLu
482Please respect copyright.PENANAQqIv8HzJv1
"Don't say that."482Please respect copyright.PENANA9AfnMdusv1
482Please respect copyright.PENANAZMmvcgvZmo
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.482Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y3RlqM9hN
482Please respect copyright.PENANALXejBmGesI
I gasp.482Please respect copyright.PENANAPLRnEla3d1
482Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ik5GxvhEo
"Jere stop!"482Please respect copyright.PENANApe8X60rF7b
482Please respect copyright.PENANA3H7wrWEfoh
He goes on.482Please respect copyright.PENANAjdH2pTCeNZ
482Please respect copyright.PENANALZX5uA2g7P
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.482Please respect copyright.PENANALNVRPF7c28
482Please respect copyright.PENANAKCgPbeqfmk
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.482Please respect copyright.PENANACyMBfpoNn8
482Please respect copyright.PENANAciFX9jJjDb
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"482Please respect copyright.PENANA0ibqidZdho
482Please respect copyright.PENANAQE90hzpV0I
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.482Please respect copyright.PENANAmqavutjB1q
482Please respect copyright.PENANAVAdKk2bxLd
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAAcHL83V7jm
482Please respect copyright.PENANAdsc6HG4cQi
"I won't."482Please respect copyright.PENANAXvSUUwQagw
482Please respect copyright.PENANAahlDox4Svf
He obeys, watching me soberly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAg7aUoEWZK3
482Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ1T3rUXLR
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.482Please respect copyright.PENANAKnu536judH
482Please respect copyright.PENANAEcvDpWtDAh
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.482Please respect copyright.PENANAyk39NXJT01
482Please respect copyright.PENANAzMcdxmqh8Z
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.482Please respect copyright.PENANAyj9LztNGe7
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.482Please respect copyright.PENANA3LWRDet0Fr
482Please respect copyright.PENANASxOQmHFln5
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.482Please respect copyright.PENANA7L9nNmdwlM
482Please respect copyright.PENANArLLFQu1QgG
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.482Please respect copyright.PENANAn4yzcrrMYp
482Please respect copyright.PENANAb53hVaQJdb
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAE9KVmfVi3Q
482Please respect copyright.PENANArhGi88xP7u
He tries to nod but he can't.482Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Gg14CWUb
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.482Please respect copyright.PENANAXEWZx6jZnV
482Please respect copyright.PENANAtlxQTeiAeW
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.482Please respect copyright.PENANAaCwGRat75Q
482Please respect copyright.PENANAwaX1jAKVej
He looks up into mine.482Please respect copyright.PENANAUFleWgnqX0
482Please respect copyright.PENANABdLFnnW0kr
"Don't leave me." He whispers.482Please respect copyright.PENANAdPybkB2Y0D
482Please respect copyright.PENANAFTruAg8rDw
"Stay awake." I tell him.482Please respect copyright.PENANAo6gWdaExNZ
482Please respect copyright.PENANAXAScE3V6yq
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.482Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRf6CYoO5
482Please respect copyright.PENANA7wCIGmkMLG
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.482Please respect copyright.PENANAl5N0Upf0vo
482Please respect copyright.PENANAcchj6qybEi
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"482Please respect copyright.PENANANUOWbPWTVX
482Please respect copyright.PENANAHvnRz0veWh
He doesn't reply.482Please respect copyright.PENANACqpw3WKn5I
482Please respect copyright.PENANAV8pRe6nKDu
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.482Please respect copyright.PENANA0xTUhu6Hy0
482Please respect copyright.PENANAqI12ch139Y
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.482Please respect copyright.PENANAcJIa3C7HZs
482Please respect copyright.PENANA8zxelQWuxl
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"482Please respect copyright.PENANACkbmXOp5zC
482Please respect copyright.PENANAZY3Mgdruz7
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.482Please respect copyright.PENANAKFbilMr8hO
482Please respect copyright.PENANAn7Yy6fj4O8
"Stay awake." I told him softly.482Please respect copyright.PENANADd1uA2XVnU
482Please respect copyright.PENANAegoxNcyAE8
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.482Please respect copyright.PENANAmyfh7hmy4t
482Please respect copyright.PENANAjJiqGP5GdQ
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAh5Pjlng1Sv
482Please respect copyright.PENANAkAdtt1fNZ0
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.482Please respect copyright.PENANAX7YwVZBlO8
482Please respect copyright.PENANAjXU2Ya216Z
"Kiss me," he repeats.482Please respect copyright.PENANAyh5GQASyS9
482Please respect copyright.PENANAfzYOUreew1
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.482Please respect copyright.PENANARQsWzoVs0a
482Please respect copyright.PENANAsxdyx6e0ly
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.482Please respect copyright.PENANAhEVxkGhvd9
482Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ2xVHvUKB
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.482Please respect copyright.PENANAANzse69HA4
482Please respect copyright.PENANAZW8PLBUlie
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.482Please respect copyright.PENANAmDuCp4DHrt
482Please respect copyright.PENANAj070bI5ASK
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.482Please respect copyright.PENANAnnlzh7jxKs
482Please respect copyright.PENANAu2omcEbp6s
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.482Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ69MRrYBB
482Please respect copyright.PENANA5LedhgZZrj
Electricity races through me and lingers.482Please respect copyright.PENANAE1evaGRUwD
482Please respect copyright.PENANAUzN8Zq4Nox
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.482Please respect copyright.PENANABev8lKHYmF
482Please respect copyright.PENANAHu4vZh4Cx6
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.482Please respect copyright.PENANAWRrOJ1HUoe
482Please respect copyright.PENANAUCj1asTC4a
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.482Please respect copyright.PENANAfcGjOUEwFH
482Please respect copyright.PENANAhKYpabK3s6
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.482Please respect copyright.PENANAHINNUnEufY
482Please respect copyright.PENANAP29Ds70oeb
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.482Please respect copyright.PENANAS3TgAbAfAp
482Please respect copyright.PENANAgZd4jBErEq
"Jeremy?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAbY1Y6oAtwd
482Please respect copyright.PENANA2v1S42ZZpf
I shake my head, not believing.482Please respect copyright.PENANATvRw3c3cFl
482Please respect copyright.PENANAgfwDmE21tT
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAPj9jZj7s2h
482Please respect copyright.PENANAaNzJpoMg1V
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.482Please respect copyright.PENANA356KY6CARY
482Please respect copyright.PENANAj77t2Rgy85
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.482Please respect copyright.PENANA8h5xd5iRtp
482Please respect copyright.PENANAzij0dsr6V0
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 482Please respect copyright.PENANArPWkprMShs
