PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAkgTgWpnq
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1WCMLI0fg
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tnL9OGAX1
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vQddN6gzM
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQN3X7pVsL
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQgwOLq5qI
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4pzxBv2xr
I smile bitterly.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9mxgqrbMC
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNHvEzaEzL
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlMrHB6YR9
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr0Zw7aVbt
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LmHW593U2
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqzwSRxubt
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6KfZ5D6A6
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iDqhSwYlG
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcXpXZbcUz
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ClNvuXegx
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRt8VL9Nyr
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjQleeo3Q
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0KBmlXKYK
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcmxGEDXpF
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.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrsmQpjg9h
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3nJf0An9b
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKlQC5DG09
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mykw8J0f2
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bGdXfgEt
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDk4p3urRh
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FGg6777Ft
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1SgbM7cJa
I must at all cost keep him awake.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOKKA3bhwM
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeHa6chqQd
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyVHzJePEx
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOijIK1gVu0
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdg4PnSdft
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv1Cfd9Bmj
"Not that long baby I promise."1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuWj66dcbo
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNdDtzwRyN
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfD19MHIK
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7TvWcnq8p
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4rk7H5ynY
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YeJY52Wcv
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDsVCYhTYO
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUPSmRV17B
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn9TlvBv7a
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqG6G8NPwV
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqP638peGv
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcES2VirIjJ
I frown at him.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZdpmBe4dA
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLnEOY5D0Y
"Don't say that."1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY472LJ3XvG
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dlY7DuNzE
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi9MImVa9X
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey46OTFWt2
I gasp.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOLg7kG9Ba
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOW7zWGYya
"Jere stop!"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZSyA77Bbq
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKAPFi4DAy
He goes on.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCtXY4JaTZ
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBiGgTUq3b
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvhd3zR8SI
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOVXqNkDDu
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP6KRGx8U4
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD1KwSk5df
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewPDdnpdG5
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUJuDpLVaf
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjScD6Xa0VS
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab6MLhNtwk
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7lMAZXYmM
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrsHjv65iA
"I won't."1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJYz9JDK7
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBPJF3whJW
He obeys, watching me soberly.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zym8cu3Zj
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDkBN2Fbw
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zkc8WhPLT
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJJ9SJmyqW
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR1xDVvehn
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBOENi5bRm
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomsPJZvih2
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHelvZKiWyH
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3xTIe7tUD
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH9zIeS4o3
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbwVf8Xv11
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vfpljSPiw
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jXH8txeZ4
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02iXQgoNht
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsehW9tzOX
He tries to nod but he can't.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWNJUdbHE
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsCdjqOG40
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlYvbR7SwK
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORBvrFnsy8
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzvfR3XYnU
He looks up into mine.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUrydrRbQ6
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklkV6twmuN
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynouVwducf
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnIwhobakM
"Stay awake." I tell him.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeLHHg2rnQ
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzcNOJDgYb
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZN7SiiPv
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZEN1gZR3O
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfBuQjAz2p
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhthy3IdhnF
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtNO6Tu7EN
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmzeV8o0kr
He doesn't reply.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGCBUORmu2
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopglld5jEC
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPYK95cJUA
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8dKGlOxDC
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc37SaGSzU
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxriZOMogjx
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUm6Viz52z
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeDZLFhdfM
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspfWJaddr1
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3wI0TPoXY
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJJcusPmh4
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7DJoWZp2t
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvFVqelHJ9
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjRGa1Ug6V
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s6kFeVdpX
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCcLM5hKEs
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IogN4eYgY
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvInkReRIre
"Kiss me," he repeats.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57bpMEPg4N
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq2dxFEKa2
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJdqtruTdB
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2movRFShCg
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU14L5YdaE
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXR1UP86ty
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHUdq0ulKQ
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPd3dG6Xiw
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXboahiGuBA
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25uyVicQwU
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvdHYNF7Ni
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dnlRnE24X
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyOHfQalBo
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrf8qPjeli
Electricity races through me and lingers.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyS6oJ8jhU
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFcFKuGx6U
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96PASu9z6W
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0obJOHSj6
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC0PvCpkOl
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaCDA5Uuzl
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbbxOr1c20
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrieRNvTWT
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjInxNbPnk8
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UuyqSs0nV
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFLsn9qkDB
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08JlmENFbB
"Jeremy?"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYTAOGRHw
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLr4zKstgv
I shake my head, not believing.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrGiLmKYD6
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2MwRnSA3W
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECiXUmDS61
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKlXDHqSvr
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPzzDjtmES
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORu1yza2Ql
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab23mYZn77
1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZn2MfcClq
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1048Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4DhBI2vSu
