PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwfjEWDKMW
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq1MhBN5tK
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FbIAlORZH
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VKeOVBvQR
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXBOGzQafG
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaXKDDsd93
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYcjzhcLmR
I smile bitterly.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7498fBsNAH
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9aXFsZbRR
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nkqx4VoFU
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdEgz2RE8C
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYANbiiltEw
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdtojzr3Ma
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5p8vtYFgp
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA6F0zdztA
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qDXvD4gZg
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno2DTyS4lB
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXeuJh6lCB
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUn7vEYvYk
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFZz24g38n
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9UcS0IrN7
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.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyFdWgYY1Z
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDsxudZzR8
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqohYygXKAf
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWkfivVW8B
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI0E8B26UM
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsRsQeOmEE
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR7PLc0Pu9
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSLs5nQwi9
I must at all cost keep him awake.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSDMmyi2OZ
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrds4dr9t7C
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojo33uCjNM
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCD4uUtHGV
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsId5kv0Fd
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PCcYFkqGe
"Not that long baby I promise."1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8gFKyBqVj
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdZOYxy1jx
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJYcLyCCI8
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxglWwGEal
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSwIDr179
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWusOf4Sz2Z
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahWVGcuvKp
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MgaTXmXEl
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBkJl0n3Df
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSZ83SmUPW
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwNbPFbV06
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfxbjXoaOR
I frown at him.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqIfJOFEpf
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c5xtoLIea
"Don't say that."1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6xVjEbJP6
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlC8KZbAQB
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SXG9lUeix
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrRzqkm8o7
I gasp.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZkyXWOPLl
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1y6Cy5GxD
"Jere stop!"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKf41BIr4l
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU66mSOSpP
He goes on.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ZmClnfet
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ELenz45Y
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAzApcVE1U
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwiBMDaqPs
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZncmWJl4z
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ohL1jU7Ns
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe3Pdz3KT8
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViHrCUPxTi
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvXjkkxkHc
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tp2kCTUaG
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuPcGSWBON
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzY1Uzobsd
"I won't."1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxSjYAm1RL
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG6lCDLBPH
He obeys, watching me soberly.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNom8a44TU
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpfZ09LzMS
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMN9aCt8AB
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0u467bDSc
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU5anhetPs
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJYgz9Llsq
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW6BWYtUtS
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NhCMAES5Q
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhds549ZvfP
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuhXV9k708
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8hAmtfASZ
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KF0Q8d279
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVffYyoNBDl
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSdBtvTxDI
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD61zJkSOtu
He tries to nod but he can't.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83zhNe8HGE
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bifTM8QNz
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtOKWUvdHS
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphyRanMZQu
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXRAD6G4L0
He looks up into mine.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqjWfdq2Qi
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaXySMyffd
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIjEJyl6Ih
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA62lXrXiZ
"Stay awake." I tell him.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NmhEBn6Cx
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR4MDs2sTR
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH6nKKKMIh
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveTrYreZ0I
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KcyGSX6ac
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd1dNmZ3j9
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wpwIPNWwF
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhitpr43Ky
He doesn't reply.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF9RVx2RrV
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7c6rKueYJ
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBs1ihgnvL
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTYvy4sZyu
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXosp9GtPSx
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PSCPoU5cD
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCciWeQq6k
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkldNdOR2KR
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah5KivHPoJ
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObDdfuUcu3
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2XgrkGqR1
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJKJFBYLZZ
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYj2IbwNxM
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9osTjI4qT
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP6UsBa66F
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydkpW0oJY0
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfeBZvswZm
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5rY626dNh
"Kiss me," he repeats.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE2VdwRAYc
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUwNVLcVZh
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37DX3Ri0R9
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltq1PdlQuH
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPx3ADAvLf
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG1ZXYbnJT
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPhqAKrOLT
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5sr7h9Mv8
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa8TnvIN1z
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBhmr9yytq
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jfBuJK9Mm
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqZEjxvdfe
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S2BQDIm8a
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuwmsDZjTH
Electricity races through me and lingers.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7as3GmXYG
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE9wK9QMgc
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwhvYxE7T
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFbYNoAKSr
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmJmilmZNl
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcotreIcYX
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUmGth4iOS
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfcGDsUxDa
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtYkPYEZjW
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnZAqOkO4f
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDHtP4aRW0
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1PGTuE0wP
"Jeremy?"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPUjZ5g3ln
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBSuk1kkLe
I shake my head, not believing.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoweXpv6AQ6
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bftjRq6wD
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJU0PeQbU
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2chbZRXFU
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y6IKkjQXB
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYUWkEWQi8
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWTtmSoewC
1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7HkccMjrW
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8mri0u0Va
