JERE940Please respect copyright.PENANAjaH7OBdl84
940Please respect copyright.PENANAjYndsPjMFD
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.940Please respect copyright.PENANAseajS0ABDo
He's shaking underneath my grasp.940Please respect copyright.PENANAfp0IHQNH10
940Please respect copyright.PENANADmS7tEzQhA
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.940Please respect copyright.PENANA3wgkfm4Cli
940Please respect copyright.PENANAlEmfkHe8WC
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.940Please respect copyright.PENANAwLNXQg9LG3
940Please respect copyright.PENANAbbzAF6gH6Z
I smile bitterly.940Please respect copyright.PENANACjJ3xwUqgA
940Please respect copyright.PENANAPKvWwyym26
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.940Please respect copyright.PENANARwQI7PA40W
940Please respect copyright.PENANAjx2lZv8FpW
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.940Please respect copyright.PENANA1L8fah6GVu
940Please respect copyright.PENANA9y0901zJlK
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.940Please respect copyright.PENANABcEUyLUeH1
940Please respect copyright.PENANAxh8MVx1a83
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."940Please respect copyright.PENANAtyyK1KtRPP
940Please respect copyright.PENANAd9XDPFn5xX
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.940Please respect copyright.PENANAlxs5wUtysb
940Please respect copyright.PENANAzQn31yAN0R
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.940Please respect copyright.PENANAEIAXe69TXw
940Please respect copyright.PENANAlYto6Rx0v0
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.940Please respect copyright.PENANABz5W4Hf1LQ
940Please respect copyright.PENANAqEMq3Tccnt
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.940Please respect copyright.PENANATgdfOO741Y
940Please respect copyright.PENANAnzyKaiGM6u
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.940Please respect copyright.PENANA8JxdElGFsO
940Please respect copyright.PENANAIVUxhluP3J
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.940Please respect copyright.PENANABSnC5n8SUq
940Please respect copyright.PENANAmUcEkNG6SO
I must at all cost keep him awake.940Please respect copyright.PENANAM7sLB7Vq90
940Please respect copyright.PENANAkDWtz6sWZx
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"940Please respect copyright.PENANA7mgP5tTeD2
940Please respect copyright.PENANAD9lZTamDhE
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.940Please respect copyright.PENANAg89eiYIct9
940Please respect copyright.PENANADvhGH090JR
"Not that long baby I promise."940Please respect copyright.PENANAP4aQV96tr3
940Please respect copyright.PENANAYglKwHwev3
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.940Please respect copyright.PENANAQFyUl9MrWy
940Please respect copyright.PENANAFS56Ezqi4B
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.940Please respect copyright.PENANAR1zhoqoLPs
940Please respect copyright.PENANA7iopZfS1lj
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.940Please respect copyright.PENANAHJW38A7DLx
940Please respect copyright.PENANAjE7w7sNmrQ
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.940Please respect copyright.PENANAgXRTvNtMBN
940Please respect copyright.PENANABQpaQzd6CH
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.940Please respect copyright.PENANApnoXAGboHT
940Please respect copyright.PENANAkpsUuOcxyH
I frown at him.940Please respect copyright.PENANA0kdnWdTKhL
940Please respect copyright.PENANAcJDmSJqikz
"Don't say that."940Please respect copyright.PENANACDhbjFFl0t
940Please respect copyright.PENANA5JlSiWtJEP
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.940Please respect copyright.PENANAOVFaE2ArvI
940Please respect copyright.PENANAj9avD24lK6
I gasp.940Please respect copyright.PENANArDn9gvymon
940Please respect copyright.PENANAQZHVRiAWWw
"Jere stop!"940Please respect copyright.PENANAnCpyPUVQr0
940Please respect copyright.PENANAoP8GfyXl2g
He goes on.940Please respect copyright.PENANAlpEURiSNpq
940Please respect copyright.PENANA9ivq3Sk7Dh
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.940Please respect copyright.PENANAsZw6gMNX8Y
940Please respect copyright.PENANALfbOOor0xZ
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.940Please respect copyright.PENANAJJt3sn1rwJ
940Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xq3heb97W
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"940Please respect copyright.PENANAgDjM1nFGwe
940Please respect copyright.PENANAPcAAaV4U4n
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.940Please respect copyright.PENANA45RO52J0eI
940Please respect copyright.PENANASDVKGubx10
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.940Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0sKe7wX1G
940Please respect copyright.PENANAdnv1Qp6QbI
"I won't."940Please respect copyright.PENANAqCrm5VgW56
940Please respect copyright.PENANAjjEsIxvWaP
He obeys, watching me soberly.940Please respect copyright.PENANAkXBiBvVP7C
940Please respect copyright.PENANAMu9VGDXqmn
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.940Please respect copyright.PENANA1pGZP6Lv8A
940Please respect copyright.PENANAnb2Ed00GR3
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.940Please respect copyright.PENANAVY15yuUCKI
940Please respect copyright.PENANA2AiRVzDbuz
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.940Please respect copyright.PENANA9P4yplqGE5
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.940Please respect copyright.PENANAaikLJhfX2j
940Please respect copyright.PENANAXkVJNIP8Kl
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.940Please respect copyright.PENANALZvyGLRWz8
940Please respect copyright.PENANAnMS8u7Rk9m
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.940Please respect copyright.PENANAAWMhwF18p2
940Please respect copyright.PENANAOaCEY9uuZV
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"940Please respect copyright.PENANARYeBX47mJU
940Please respect copyright.PENANA4bykNnSekd
He tries to nod but he can't.940Please respect copyright.PENANAfxcCugGJ64
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.940Please respect copyright.PENANAyIUrbyhc8X
940Please respect copyright.PENANAyBTYhXy2ck
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.940Please respect copyright.PENANAf46ghHxkvo
940Please respect copyright.PENANA3OdlLEw5aX
He looks up into mine.940Please respect copyright.PENANAUgh7Bsqe6F
940Please respect copyright.PENANATXL2noujQf
"Don't leave me." He whispers.940Please respect copyright.PENANAAjnPtLAptu
940Please respect copyright.PENANABVW9VyrEzu
"Stay awake." I tell him.940Please respect copyright.PENANAPNsgS7Sidv
940Please respect copyright.PENANA9w4JGTC5Ik
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.940Please respect copyright.PENANA1Rg6cinFSL
940Please respect copyright.PENANADWoyx6a6I3
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.940Please respect copyright.PENANAL4hzRkVTUN
940Please respect copyright.PENANAjSoe6mO6Lw
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"940Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mq0apj0Nh
940Please respect copyright.PENANA44PuaS25s2
He doesn't reply.940Please respect copyright.PENANAJctaGsZhQU
940Please respect copyright.PENANA8RSDOY65S7
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.940Please respect copyright.PENANAOoJbrwrmYl
940Please respect copyright.PENANAVRmtvZXQIA
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.940Please respect copyright.PENANAq2qqGi9JNK
940Please respect copyright.PENANABomHXTs9t5
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"940Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZmEzzDVat
940Please respect copyright.PENANAuhjxD9RV8T
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.940Please respect copyright.PENANAR9hSGh98Fp
940Please respect copyright.PENANAOs1uFrHyA9
"Stay awake." I told him softly.940Please respect copyright.PENANA0bQOAy9rqZ
940Please respect copyright.PENANA61JrR3jjm5
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.940Please respect copyright.PENANAmfB8jUI42C
940Please respect copyright.PENANArxZX5AtLPZ
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.940Please respect copyright.PENANApKUjhclqyC
940Please respect copyright.PENANARMU6hliftT
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.940Please respect copyright.PENANAyLFaKVJoDY
940Please respect copyright.PENANADvxrNnFp58
"Kiss me," he repeats.940Please respect copyright.PENANAbf8t8RHaIC
940Please respect copyright.PENANA5vXtzd0plu
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.940Please respect copyright.PENANAYgOdelc9Jz
940Please respect copyright.PENANA9GAbm51AKz
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.940Please respect copyright.PENANADLTb5DW1Ic
940Please respect copyright.PENANAuY8UNIfg9j
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.940Please respect copyright.PENANAim1GVuG6Ua
940Please respect copyright.PENANAYeVHqHLeNN
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.940Please respect copyright.PENANAlwa64ZAQA1
940Please respect copyright.PENANAZUaHdzR92A
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.940Please respect copyright.PENANAHosbTTQWmk
940Please respect copyright.PENANAjQmL6MbC8O
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.940Please respect copyright.PENANAAeJufbq5Si
940Please respect copyright.PENANAMqtkz1he9p
Electricity races through me and lingers.940Please respect copyright.PENANA2On6WEfUU7
940Please respect copyright.PENANAGiOGZP1cA7
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.940Please respect copyright.PENANAkhvw9FkmIY
940Please respect copyright.PENANAKH8nnkZA5b
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.940Please respect copyright.PENANAzqqK9jV53g
940Please respect copyright.PENANAT17zGPry2U
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.940Please respect copyright.PENANAN1nRoFFXXf
940Please respect copyright.PENANArVDdPdJlsr
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.940Please respect copyright.PENANAUaexQo771k
940Please respect copyright.PENANAw6yBdPrOhI
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.940Please respect copyright.PENANAaa9Fq8oITt
940Please respect copyright.PENANA7iMGzJ7nEf
"Jeremy?"940Please respect copyright.PENANAXnokV7lAiF
940Please respect copyright.PENANAoDmA5Sa12P
I shake my head, not believing.940Please respect copyright.PENANAtuvwOw61uy
940Please respect copyright.PENANAzuZfjTWFwb
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"940Please respect copyright.PENANA8VkGRxLQTE
940Please respect copyright.PENANA5TVy7l5tOK
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.940Please respect copyright.PENANAnx26VzfTiy
940Please respect copyright.PENANARspOfmG8x2
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.940Please respect copyright.PENANAyM4IpQsGVk
940Please respect copyright.PENANAbTYV3Eh5Eo
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 940Please respect copyright.PENANAt8IOUslkuw
940Please respect copyright.PENANAdGi1kXejDj
