PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc08Xy3OgZ
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sqklkp8FJ
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwYWCUSphw
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCvGN0RRD
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5PjekVNZR
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e4LR6cz4q
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4bDkZ1mDR
I smile bitterly.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ6Dql4Uga
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI3UtpFCLB
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCbzp5y2pu
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRrDEqxIgL
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCpA1pwx2
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2bOQbg9y0
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmheJAgN2Y
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzauj99t2u
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAByLk5v75C
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXG9tddb3H
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx7yNHZm8o
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOBDc7Vhyf
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O9V7e9Egy
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFJq2RRBNR
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.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKSfBJmAi2
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxOQsf6pDQ
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39i21brW8d
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVUbOZRw4o
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmHuDtCTwo
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrJxFlaV56
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAZuDw3t7Q
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdp0qVOF7w
I must at all cost keep him awake.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWruxy7VGxF
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XtlqBWVxo
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZYWfqnvoR
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdaW79rZqk
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrt5KujLTL
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEIIrjuZR1
"Not that long baby I promise."1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wNNUjDeJQ
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvLrHK6nFc
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XEPTnGPRe
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucLMW9Ne8W
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0tXJk6sV9
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfjMXNHTx9
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcxQruZWVY
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN0laLlJlG
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpRMPaDOfx
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgnqjeJT3v
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK9KUys8KG
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1GnhcfXSl
I frown at him.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JxjkoiJU4
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RnuBNH45o
"Don't say that."1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1W1Bw4Iec
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7JtARm6em
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Or48LVCU
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiKYJzP99Q
I gasp.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJNz3ThbIy
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFG1phYe5q
"Jere stop!"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSUYeA7o4x
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwbejb3Ttb
He goes on.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPvATb2cCV
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zLKJNHLUZ
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvDXJ97Y3x
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RO4dE37aA
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHp1srtojk
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbXbj2S9Ac
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA39TSDfptb
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfDyKOfHRM
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnq7ddZa7q
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmmKucdUYH
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpijJY7v8a
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL0nU7Jhz2
"I won't."1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhbKVPzlW0
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxMW8qoD8K
He obeys, watching me soberly.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPaCTlhLHi
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr2CRLVP8q
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tUXyK4XtW
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVHtUT6Ub6
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUpNuGT1Av
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdxXIHEWhn
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypS4Exd7aI
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbriep2qO4
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICRJfarWI4
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZHqc7yzMH
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PpAdDNlnk
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xp2NYfvB8
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8sVPWmt8x
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSk9DoEId8
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExgKGpO0xM
He tries to nod but he can't.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRP5RMTCef
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPIZLyvflG
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYbcKTYnDJ
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFHlbxYZcY
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sv9V1tZAp
He looks up into mine.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUHglWPJMW
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHquKvP1uZN
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JqhYikSfg
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94NKTCP79B
"Stay awake." I tell him.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlhvEmoubb
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8LEWcRYc
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9OmxGvH64
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcihYT45q4
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnocemfRKr0
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWf9HPAbUv
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFU52G72uh
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Th0mfTtQ3
He doesn't reply.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYG1eST3PP
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T8dVVo2im
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yzXdrBqfQ
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Z8xhyhjD
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62G65mGd28
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl2fJuHTer
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8tLvZlM8M
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuNpF5QjFX
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUWb4WCc9Z
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKs2zr6d6m
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MeGxLgC42
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG7osoIjDD
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycjvj3e1wj
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWkB3MAXt1
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7II4nx2re
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlefRYHo793
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDL24F00K
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTMzbClGCl
"Kiss me," he repeats.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTwMVGacta
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhiSXXvUZy
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlrPWsqJFf
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuchOQrCc7l
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwyTlSWOYE
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHgspxvXb
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo07hiwF7Ty
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBYPAhyw3m
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerge2ktrjB
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8wO4YY8q
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aj85UkEV0
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfkLAqZ5iZ
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ZJaZQvn2
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6aUt92hMN
Electricity races through me and lingers.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2kHrS0Xa3
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxk7F3LtPF
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUqJOBqY1t
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXynOIYphE
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPHx7nQvnu
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwEAazLe30
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUjeoHuc5O
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDYMWqejkX
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAF8dA2Z84
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZePCH2nQf
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LFc7mnWvI
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ep2Ou50NG
"Jeremy?"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAeD9RWos
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElDk3zOgkv
I shake my head, not believing.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ScYOTaoi9
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLs1dikxbl
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzin3tkBZUW
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfhFEVsksp
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2aWawvnAi
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkof58CVeLq
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd4WWHgNrF
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ069x1UEG9
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS0hEuRDNM
1099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9k7LEIuP
