PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC8coipkMa
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlBx68S7Nl
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlLNSXnujW
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU2PCQK2Dl
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeM8Jhv1GO
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPQYfDKl40
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMoSJdiMXR
I smile bitterly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZoyHYljD3
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43RsWQv7UD
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahLgRejEVE
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9wEzTZdfw
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YhxluFycA
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI028KwIetq
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6QmylyQ1k
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOavrs1T1Wh
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6z0L3QRq
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhrwWTs3uu
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuVrsuoHPk
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHTaX4sEQO
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj9GOVhJJT
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUcTukQF4
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt29oO2ePB
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKftjIV14oH
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9maG2daXEw
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQUud0C52P
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomGOmLDZ7G
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Hrb4PMAW
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpHEf35kxa
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGJIl7fu37
I must at all cost keep him awake.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPPD7CywsE
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYY3swPUtT
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDUX0DvqI
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JvQVQyXaT
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWBI0e6Ve3
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOTgFkSDtp
"Not that long baby I promise."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJke3xJxot
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo9ZW03gEC
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e83iNYb5S
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgjnjIa1k8
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBZg7J4Vkb
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhEa3knzNA
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cZmXvxxsl
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V4kYOwgnO
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6LCV90BVP
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHzHNf9k47
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUge2HmrAY
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWkW1bv9K1
I frown at him.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO3ljyB7Sz
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd0XRLcEut
"Don't say that."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXs1AdP8Zt
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfqKVGYacJ
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcvaytmOn9
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB0PRzT7ey
I gasp.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXk13o04bQ
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq5nFw6ZVG
"Jere stop!"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifbkSx5QgA
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvWNnNuOSH
He goes on.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT52YfIxG2
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rxHOa6Z4E
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5j3NZ9LES
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3N8ro2z8e
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKyV0UzG3V
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHs6bkvX5q
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCCGgmVhFH
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlEAT54XWy
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcguM7I4lxY
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PI1Ibvg6X
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagWxrphi7Z
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF7x0FnbO8
"I won't."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmLaFmEJSk
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfngdHGYhj
He obeys, watching me soberly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4uzoHjfEl
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Ol2SgQqA
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTmJ5hEnaI
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsPdCPI9Ze
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTHL7Kue7y
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv5oVLZ0Mx
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjspfp2O2Cn
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5muDupLbW
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY5Hz1AsUB
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZHbZeDAVh
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IqH2eMe7J
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0R30zHAZp
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnUW6jH4P1
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7298f35jeO
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2CTMlExWj
He tries to nod but he can't.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5hGbaQ64f
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstlzc8SC6k
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8jz43vLiw
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG9IXj1u47
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXJ85VCh6q
He looks up into mine.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffBROkLLEC
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq0VhB7LcF
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDxjhM1bAs
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qoc3rwUzc
"Stay awake." I tell him.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCGnaFDhr0
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWfCMGXuil
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGF9kqdjlI
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjBtseBdFf
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEh76SSIGb
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmq825V1QF
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQNTKnClOb
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcj6kfVD9C
He doesn't reply.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzMxQRSB0T
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJjHmhHCqR
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvpVvV7UH
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8WDZ1tRjo
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKQwUKj0Oi
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhNeLaProE
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiVusHoHoN
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884z3OD2b1
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbb9JsWIKh
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXkp90nW7D
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbTZMygeD3
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OjLb42S71
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1NMwZXgsI
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzG0A3OcvB
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9wOGbzTqw
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy7rtdaVYk
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeieoXQGo9x
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAco7IIV2A
"Kiss me," he repeats.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncfiMSE5cW
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclHmf5GjNV
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU3nRU903E
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJlpALL40q
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCbbcU2IAH
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBR5mcINkq
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNL0YKm2OE
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2wdpQgbWl
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFcemOIvZG
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2xGGjgizu
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx6dwnRTI3
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsIQO3DBLI
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ681CTHq5DL
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9wOtXJsmF
Electricity races through me and lingers.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxO8XEEQr8
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfaVIqyYEn
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapC0ZoIwV0
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPbdyZuoGA
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Qm5fLywq
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v7tNfCvmj
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijn3SKiUGJ
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqFCQoTGIg
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwNEwst8x6
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pqk4PIZlY
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwAW8VBzCw
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZt5jfeSgv
"Jeremy?"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySNaKutoAu
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX04zp7DDaR
I shake my head, not believing.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvmoRYPcyc
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PUWZjo6K8
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE7nrjq2to
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YSvyFyIIX
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDRjbS1DlC
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOOGBlmHA5
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACWBSOBFd1
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bEkH4OZwj
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSgvo5w9a
