JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tnnF8EoRQ
He's shaking underneath my grasp.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHtvjnGSKf
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJSnxmiO0y
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzVNomEelL
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xRq95xgGJ
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1HFPcACJj
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsgY8hnLQO
I smile bitterly.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrZ6ak1759
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJlkCvCAg
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXJ4pkbpV
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vbVnwZhJ9
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqR70VR2PP
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFAsUhXSqU
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wt3UGf6ZK
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4S0XpGx9Z
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7nO38XuNR
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezHw0WjDO9
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUNolW8bD1
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kTNWaBzOa
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicSkwWjeXM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvsMYqUgV1
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.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewsFNfmFdf
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnZfuCYEmV
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A0BByjUYi
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rcx1eJcqS
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOz4gGIsHo
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckKylPBad0
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsimXZjlX98
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcARYqWiE8g
I must at all cost keep him awake.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMSbYJdftr
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U69I8DsY9
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN2KlHNBLJ
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSNjM14SIm
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvzaGSN32E
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4eqz0Q8jN
"Not that long baby I promise."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4FpWXzgkW
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmk0e9Pa5W
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3BeD31LLc
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8NdeQgojm
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI8cnpT1rW
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmR1zZXTWP
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qF4KOK9x0
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwF0A8kA2G
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPumPZUK8yE
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP3fAspXri
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kj5FwjSj6
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKP079ko6f
I frown at him.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEqBue1lRh
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGb4DnS9Fz
"Don't say that."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmYvuSvmuP
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBFG61zQPN
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34deqr2KWg
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tW6TZ2C5Y
I gasp.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBA68ntqgc
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ua9cfp1M
"Jere stop!"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxahorWGlRt
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewNO1Q9nyi
He goes on.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYzwtcGM0C
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT1qje9PyI
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlK1uPxfAq
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ6K9yB9ma
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOP97NTk7L
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpKpb7VbWq
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64XsUNkjps
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N61QElOur
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwFGRP5MvZ
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Mk03rMBp
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKeue4PNCA
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jq8R3kF1y
"I won't."751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4xrGoVAdO
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GX7olWcfB
He obeys, watching me soberly.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzSULSgK4U
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhgiKeTqwu
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeIulI41FM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALtdm5IOyt
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWuM6PMXnb
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu208ZQmO0
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuKO2d9Su1
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcshaJt8yF
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUjjSXJEHi
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XMU5av9oe
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j7ZdiNqTi
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkeICF9EHv
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD7oW7Hgqj
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDinLyTPpf
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ZuTRU7mx
He tries to nod but he can't.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKwEqTATOW
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2NI9WXT0o
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WNJxpcWM4
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwhz7M5Tx9
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4xrKdssxv
He looks up into mine.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCozThdsJKM
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraDdMXifjy
"Don't leave me." He whispers.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXZl63NKPH
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcSRLxj7vT
"Stay awake." I tell him.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHaX6Hi4Mx
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPSRpmODVe
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1LvVScICy
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWS0E6s1TO
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUmxZqMWQc
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJOVbAu3YV
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsdw5mWLcp
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyjsE2cBVN
He doesn't reply.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlumat4XzyK
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w9C1yPnjb
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx5uykVonW
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwuSka599I
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLVft4lNCF
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFiqM34saO
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsqnuqj3jp
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqq4oSRMfu
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVdX0itfXz
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjfgLW6Rx2
"Stay awake." I told him softly.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRulb4LF8I
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HqmSxGRgK
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4uyAKGGvw
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0kj0evALC
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hB3UrbMq
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9gXe87I8K
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDzVGYaZdq
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLASVKD7Md
"Kiss me," he repeats.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdDYCWvpQn
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzxRcLBKmd
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWEmpWIjEk
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprC0qs7WNP
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZcDewQGrP
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkAvQfm1ZA
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnGedJnwdw
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDGtrat6ag
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2jH73Q0df
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1npUzhxcK
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoYfj5czR6
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXrVZiUPaW
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBERZl4F7U0
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLAGJKoMOz
Electricity races through me and lingers.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm4v5nPp0t
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PnoOMmRV8
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOY3irkqU4
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz4noSz3WJ
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt0Bpb4fNJ
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63AUdD0hGh
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUtx2UvREA
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4lIUv7hWP
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia3LlTmzKk
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q4xFErjSy
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYyxfjlfBP
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXUFRDtZoS
"Jeremy?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6yc1B9KVS
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0fHsoF771
I shake my head, not believing.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tUMbiG2hJ
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCOeaekHR1
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqfHfOIrq
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFsMzXxdO
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWSnPm7T0W
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CGjSSnkIF
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBOG8KWTU9
751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyRDcytaMk
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 751Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGIJAd0jHh
