I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.728Please respect copyright.PENANAKsAYOm4HdI
He's shaking underneath my grasp.728Please respect copyright.PENANAQHw5u5juOG
728Please respect copyright.PENANAbRZTkOFZQK
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.728Please respect copyright.PENANAPoW3hwLHbY
728Please respect copyright.PENANAkMBRz1sURi
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.728Please respect copyright.PENANA3Fvw5iDFQT
728Please respect copyright.PENANASOcQz8sx2z
I smile bitterly.728Please respect copyright.PENANA67wIb5nw5w
728Please respect copyright.PENANAGNXyCfFegx
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.728Please respect copyright.PENANAYY4hDpXPpN
728Please respect copyright.PENANA958mOBqUd2
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.728Please respect copyright.PENANAiArMf0Jg8E
728Please respect copyright.PENANAgKAQBpSAOJ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.728Please respect copyright.PENANAqi3SFOZHKC
728Please respect copyright.PENANASLHsuoqYA9
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."728Please respect copyright.PENANABzqcWMa2LH
728Please respect copyright.PENANABS8Xz7AhPD
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.728Please respect copyright.PENANAHLXL15YsFV
728Please respect copyright.PENANAroqJS3JrwH
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.728Please respect copyright.PENANAUyVTwxGj81
728Please respect copyright.PENANANUucYPW397
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.728Please respect copyright.PENANAeTH6EBk5F4
728Please respect copyright.PENANApiC79l5eOb
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.728Please respect copyright.PENANA0mcAIhojQl
728Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ6x58RC09
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.728Please respect copyright.PENANAJrXVol9Ugr
728Please respect copyright.PENANA4DHWJWmvMe
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.728Please respect copyright.PENANAHIeZH3cIKZ
728Please respect copyright.PENANAvzN2TINnA2
I must at all cost keep him awake.728Please respect copyright.PENANAInTRJsT1z2
728Please respect copyright.PENANArAmRVhst5i
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"728Please respect copyright.PENANAM8kGqwbAx6
728Please respect copyright.PENANAOSNR7qmUE9
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.728Please respect copyright.PENANAyqOuv7Z5Dr
728Please respect copyright.PENANAweAMKaMzWV
"Not that long baby I promise."728Please respect copyright.PENANAGoXBE2uFcY
728Please respect copyright.PENANArXEy9jsh9a
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.728Please respect copyright.PENANAXgC51ojRsp
728Please respect copyright.PENANAFBxpPgEhAa
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.728Please respect copyright.PENANALx9G26UED9
728Please respect copyright.PENANAu7bICPYGv6
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.728Please respect copyright.PENANAOcSwtrBWOQ
728Please respect copyright.PENANAbIcaUtij1n
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.728Please respect copyright.PENANAqRyXDdpWgt
728Please respect copyright.PENANArKB9rjEjd4
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.728Please respect copyright.PENANAkYoBnT5fEj
728Please respect copyright.PENANAJsiqfgBOP8
I frown at him.728Please respect copyright.PENANApdAc0ZDHM5
728Please respect copyright.PENANAl48qTGKvJI
"Don't say that."728Please respect copyright.PENANA8EOZ0WRbKb
728Please respect copyright.PENANAn11yNcahAd
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.728Please respect copyright.PENANA0XhpFD4R0v
728Please respect copyright.PENANAMqcPRAuuj5
I gasp.728Please respect copyright.PENANAnm8D8TP7BS
728Please respect copyright.PENANADuKIKK4Jpz
"Jere stop!"728Please respect copyright.PENANANixNQFkJjx
728Please respect copyright.PENANAv0R88bnNo7
He goes on.728Please respect copyright.PENANApzuwI00Vcg
728Please respect copyright.PENANAAulTmCofTX
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.728Please respect copyright.PENANA9GIFDEvT4W
728Please respect copyright.PENANAIQcm7Xi6m2
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.728Please respect copyright.PENANA0oYcxd2l6G
728Please respect copyright.PENANAdoNRopPAV4
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"728Please respect copyright.PENANAirmr2Limrb
728Please respect copyright.PENANAng9x5uBTDt
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.728Please respect copyright.PENANAlzdf1CoVeB
728Please respect copyright.PENANAO21TQQyHFF
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.728Please respect copyright.PENANAIXJE1StEoU
728Please respect copyright.PENANAfHUMyTzO7l
"I won't."728Please respect copyright.PENANAmeCsWuk9Pk
728Please respect copyright.PENANA3wbXfHU1Hf
He obeys, watching me soberly.728Please respect copyright.PENANARgfla7BjVT
728Please respect copyright.PENANApmOF5QrrRK
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.728Please respect copyright.PENANAOXGpKBRhSx
728Please respect copyright.PENANARmPvPA4bR2
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.728Please respect copyright.PENANAjP2gPZzsyT
728Please respect copyright.PENANAVCaacfGycE
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.728Please respect copyright.PENANAvWNIVJOL3y
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.728Please respect copyright.PENANA3XLvgee5lE
728Please respect copyright.PENANAnJIKPpJUIM
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.728Please respect copyright.PENANAIERpKqy4rC
728Please respect copyright.PENANAUnUsVi2dlZ
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.728Please respect copyright.PENANAG1D4y4z06m
728Please respect copyright.PENANAVC3B5ZU97q
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"728Please respect copyright.PENANAA0wgSswgFt
728Please respect copyright.PENANAE5r92ezy1N
He tries to nod but he can't.728Please respect copyright.PENANAU9FxWKeECK
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.728Please respect copyright.PENANAx8KLDnAaYM
728Please respect copyright.PENANAiX9hofoyZb
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.728Please respect copyright.PENANAhA3AM0Q99x
728Please respect copyright.PENANAChMrOFgAMG
He looks up into mine.728Please respect copyright.PENANAXHMuyXakwt
728Please respect copyright.PENANApvr8ML5WRe
"Don't leave me." He whispers.728Please respect copyright.PENANAPvA4ww4U3y
728Please respect copyright.PENANADJKq6JPtLC
"Stay awake." I tell him.728Please respect copyright.PENANAghS8IZdBcJ
728Please respect copyright.PENANA1w2giuO8ii
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.728Please respect copyright.PENANAK929otRhoE
728Please respect copyright.PENANAzjXiYI2jlh
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.728Please respect copyright.PENANA91109Ooa43
728Please respect copyright.PENANAiEkWoiV88q
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"728Please respect copyright.PENANAY1c5dgmpZT
728Please respect copyright.PENANAP2bHX6fq8Q
He doesn't reply.728Please respect copyright.PENANA6OLmPkiEH3
728Please respect copyright.PENANANs6SuLqkxd
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.728Please respect copyright.PENANAgzf3WEuFyD
728Please respect copyright.PENANA1PY01XUYpU
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.728Please respect copyright.PENANAEcpYIXID1w
728Please respect copyright.PENANAOZppzbR9Az
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"728Please respect copyright.PENANALc1hBiArdn
728Please respect copyright.PENANAcs56dWNQk1
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.728Please respect copyright.PENANAhkuCqae52s
728Please respect copyright.PENANAqIqp4DQV14
"Stay awake." I told him softly.728Please respect copyright.PENANAV4qwcFzotb
728Please respect copyright.PENANA1wBpK2BceH
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.728Please respect copyright.PENANAI2uFfEbodE
728Please respect copyright.PENANAU4K4kObtVj
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.728Please respect copyright.PENANA3nvwUSbiG1
728Please respect copyright.PENANAFKAEEnVp5K
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.728Please respect copyright.PENANAmKMsEO23k1
728Please respect copyright.PENANARjwgnOy5CP
"Kiss me," he repeats.728Please respect copyright.PENANADcUaWcoVGk
728Please respect copyright.PENANAFOoWH9K3DN
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.728Please respect copyright.PENANAd9nSreNb7o
728Please respect copyright.PENANAdm0aUzcpVB
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.728Please respect copyright.PENANAcgXAMXrQMX
728Please respect copyright.PENANAN2QIw2r1VQ
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.728Please respect copyright.PENANA5JrHBaU75x
728Please respect copyright.PENANAiEzEpcWGGN
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.728Please respect copyright.PENANAZJidUkYDh3
728Please respect copyright.PENANAEM8YQxpbDP
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.728Please respect copyright.PENANApnqrMlrT8a
728Please respect copyright.PENANApFQQLEct2J
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.728Please respect copyright.PENANA4PIBhtuqVO
728Please respect copyright.PENANA3IIDQOShW6
Electricity races through me and lingers.728Please respect copyright.PENANALWzZlDakD7
728Please respect copyright.PENANA2sd6M2cwsB
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.728Please respect copyright.PENANAkjwDo1gQwd
728Please respect copyright.PENANACHdtV6GIsK
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.728Please respect copyright.PENANAIdUn3L1KMZ
728Please respect copyright.PENANAcBN7o5l8W3
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.728Please respect copyright.PENANAbSv31qvYou
728Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Qn4OHzRN
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.728Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwql9gg4l
728Please respect copyright.PENANAFpxRjEBO2l
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.728Please respect copyright.PENANAirc6H46TAP
728Please respect copyright.PENANAbB4C7o8g0G
"Jeremy?"728Please respect copyright.PENANAqrD6rJDPF7
728Please respect copyright.PENANA9PvMEy2JBr
I shake my head, not believing.728Please respect copyright.PENANA3Tyjv78zFo
728Please respect copyright.PENANAswv3708wwc
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"728Please respect copyright.PENANABuMLMGTBcw
728Please respect copyright.PENANAhzT9Xc9KB3
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.728Please respect copyright.PENANA2ixed1xpU4
728Please respect copyright.PENANAbTA0ogaXMr
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.728Please respect copyright.PENANA5sjIBAMT9B
728Please respect copyright.PENANAOk1L1t24By
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAMOou0yfv0c
