PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbs7r8AG1u
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoff6FaN4w9
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfDzxq4ijC
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj8D2S7fkc
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqH1ofgGgf
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2nDqq1m2l
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4c3SUCZS5
I smile bitterly.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnoj4zknM3
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyjdSfLsSN
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxA9dOlD8Z
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETcz3ofhXB
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2NoJFQFuq
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rXOKJEyFJ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhVcr2mwN5
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftpKiglb0o
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXymLXWI98J
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2SxTqXpHW
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZrWPlOiBC
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZBSkz7lfI
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z6hG35cLQ
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjFyrA64zb
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.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQQyjdp543
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi9kSv2uzk
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuupkzUtTT
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC545BWWuO
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuDeGkgfzS
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBtSjEZ5YL
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKHH3zqGer
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0BD9DXw1P
I must at all cost keep him awake.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH6XPN8ED8
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJbLgCI49
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0IM2x97xa
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPYSevfKA3
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgfNrmsTrD
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEwCh0eZgq
"Not that long baby I promise."1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKS8cNddmo
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BHGMvKIiZ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVMawddNq
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZB9yGcxDd
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRV2xEJPDc
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVoMM2KtjL
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gnN1YKSwJ
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtiekmn2IW
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iAL4bfdh1
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ubTvhgUs
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV1JXU0zuA
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfAIu60s1y
I frown at him.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy7uSvkR22
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbOSc7TaQi
"Don't say that."1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOwHam8XOS
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX4QdxZHZ5
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mSJ7q4Y8x
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDECdOYVgpH
I gasp.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fHfHm5U8u
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYQ1taPMwH
"Jere stop!"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x4qpXDeL2
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdD1h2n94a
He goes on.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SpZmSI0d2
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuejm3Phdw
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrakFa7fy1Y
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xs5UVvezS
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJtFVZn2oP
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaooEHLffrN
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqqYqzqH9H
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkpkSizwan
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOgoxRPjwY
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6RIWMnKph
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwKldhdbz
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt4GbTByuI
"I won't."1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHW552sA4c
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJE5hmXhtr
He obeys, watching me soberly.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRV0oiQsYY
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjBsg7HyOf
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4tCU2yvJ
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YGOAFOI5Y
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3cNkthWsT
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8meAXnLuYp
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS3fSzQ5NM
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTiaFoW3f6
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M5ekbSPSW
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjdhUDdWi
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd2BrLuxGc
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGQ9inYpR1
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluBAwC5k6E
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW1sra8LIL
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVInhm7C3K
He tries to nod but he can't.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqFgmTpdNE
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXaAPlEUAK
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRB7ZkexWg
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBu2ndbG8L
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL1tpqoZVw
He looks up into mine.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPq3dSIdXZ
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UfHmdDiud
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDNYhsdV6p
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWoyPDCQZt
"Stay awake." I tell him.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbVwv0tG1N
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQyZxFmQVw
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6LpRZNOII
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hGPTDdCcn
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXXgM0OSPl
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgzd0LkBOK
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3dNj2igHi
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywnzG3Kb46
He doesn't reply.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3CSWweQpC
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0mSbn0iWJ
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5kyYH5ZzK
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2B7wncMvf
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdjfreUvvn
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhastQ0dJl
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodvbrKk5JZ
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW02mZottK
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SzhxqVtJD
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIhry2XA8A
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFvB3F9BqS
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6QaklU76a
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeyewvMu03
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB70Ge2Md3j
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUGiaPx7zE
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdC0yMCee0
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYpqEUwyld
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJBs5UI5EM
"Kiss me," he repeats.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo4UojtFcm
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT9Wk1H7D8
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xb9GgTvek
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJlUhe1t2i
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1WCm7N8LG
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSMkudhFO6
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9twBpTn3U
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAACT5qLMCb
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtq9KybThK
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCMLmsX20O
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wlfrfay13
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXzNd1oDiT
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYgB2d1dou
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzka6uLNbs
Electricity races through me and lingers.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1fVLxrZU8
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRnmBRfqKE
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh1l9hmIwe
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OorthO4NM
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmHRBeobwu
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzlaHKki1W
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIfDYHRHDc
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR7WfdYxnM
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt4BUyCdAs
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnka2xQOzfg
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Nn5Ch29X
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMGv4icHcE
"Jeremy?"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS0tQiCjrO
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTtZCdS4Ur
I shake my head, not believing.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEyBG8SCb1
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6AHH0ZY6X
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjgNYuZ2JG
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUwjkDKWsc
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFZhvhSkFs
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXkep8YrW
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUDCO69W8K
1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKrH9WHB5C
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp2NnNuBOQ
