PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct93CsAsCf
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb65G8OqbyD
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsbeQdmBCl
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXuNKGgX5
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yqllbgzsn
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUQYZTlke7
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkkdJYvEMo
I smile bitterly.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA5lp2Uz2p
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWU0ECu7ZJ
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyuOfNxWDU
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExnrSRibb4
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDVlOqYMfF
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWwHi1xMLP
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg797wl9a6
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNC6iyu23x
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfAJoQGcNY
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakCNmgyZg5
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4rEyf99Ib
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4StlKBhK
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjuOPdDHf3
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWTTISp7lD
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.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLIKD3MfbQ
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4tp7I1yGj
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeaTh8OPVY
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzQXUiJozF
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr72b40klGH
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWzSJZ8mnv
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFEX60JchD
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0yHOuJtqz
I must at all cost keep him awake.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSQyxbLMhW
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD9TtraD0N
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPse44TmqG
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNRZZfycWP
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyizlKg02p
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9WnqLohJ6
"Not that long baby I promise."1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K7fchPumJ
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiyHBDtlak
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdGddSAzTO
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWgBAqRaa
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCX8WyDEqm
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Hgbc8tTa
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqll5Wb2YDm
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1o7h3hnS
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkoJlrYUKL
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fZEsrgdGY
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbhYyivGy5
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIdzLrdF4b
I frown at him.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyhOgVs54N
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZJk478MOg
"Don't say that."1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlLEU0mfli
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR1I9MtZWS
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF04bor1ktE
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbWRPgYcWK
I gasp.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLwDFCDxxI
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMngdLIlMIu
"Jere stop!"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF7WDlxp3M
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmpzzEagCW
He goes on.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDLvEi3bCe
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw9fG7UHAx
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATsfEY1tJ4
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQUcD22we7
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yYM0DhfKA
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPxcqZXNRs
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kREZE4wKP
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDeau15LO1
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmtpG99ddq
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJVUxMcNYO
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVgCGRY6J
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjacvdTxVQ1
"I won't."1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpcd80upTi
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Ttu2Zh73
He obeys, watching me soberly.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwRCIRnxLS
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPH3xZLltX
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysqvTvlYYR
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JjuY6T5fS
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqp4XjKxzT
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOdzTS2tqk
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIQsUjvUnK
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ004FFzoZ86
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9HGiX0wwa
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gvXFjFXIm
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDk9Qs0SoS
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr12sKhW1Pp
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAsNwTwAsz
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmJQ3Mh24n
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvWlaOO8ci
He tries to nod but he can't.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRflMJNXTP
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5QgTb4s9Y
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgKbDZaje9
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFczuHfhEA
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b00oeFKxq
He looks up into mine.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlot4XtvzN8
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwqXx2p0Rz
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo5kMT5w57
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1C8NNTuGg
"Stay awake." I tell him.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVht43NOszk
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEYGSs32Ds
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw6Pzng0Bp
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNjNvkV7PH
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRfnTNZdBG
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI7qevYxJ2
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMDJ9tXVRP
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokn9ZjJAbt
He doesn't reply.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVy5hTAgIA
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKknU2P2ZQo
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6PQmmaSG0
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tj9KBXyRv
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndjXaQ779M
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC8MmcvFqX
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhBHEhl8tb
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sl5kINMQX
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BkjTq7j8h
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohbMcvn97G
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YwMmgb1zG
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ166tss7FtK
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP599PCVDH
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArv0NSarE9
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKtE2Ptvtc
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsiArJaSkO
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUJFSINYXc
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRF0WGGjIV
"Kiss me," he repeats.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxYLU7ktJG
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLQ6quWTwW
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7kEdz7rrX
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAWbOQMf64
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAv5WXXWBS
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8iJ6fglyT
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA8fvgQkjd
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW6pruflF4
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ftmFzK8kX
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNZ6Yo8uEc
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX7oonqzf5
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEfkRY7TJC
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tFx6QqqOd
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUL11hAzhs
Electricity races through me and lingers.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLb2swkPZ
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxeQ3Ogdhs
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCFXGkaoZW
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZP90bI9S3
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqAFX6rkz8
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVTSAlurva
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Pwg8aUXe
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6MJDEDtcs
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2o3Q4ggQ0
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYwRAzI7p4
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ579rZldiuq
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGBmm19fEH
"Jeremy?"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6an2Uyew
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWG1aji17j
I shake my head, not believing.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvmNM86C6f
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtSKO1bBaS
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn7knjdq7w
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrTiehS7JI
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB86PL8izH
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRni7qxRzL
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY62rlXajZ
1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbNSDg80WY
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1098Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAQnnRgPmU
