JERE898Please respect copyright.PENANAmK8WlwYrJF
898Please respect copyright.PENANAWWx8eVP7lj
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.898Please respect copyright.PENANA2BYnY2pWYl
He's shaking underneath my grasp.898Please respect copyright.PENANATAHr2HPzhp
898Please respect copyright.PENANABRjhbsyiBN
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.898Please respect copyright.PENANA24Of4y33VG
898Please respect copyright.PENANAPP8pesgqKX
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.898Please respect copyright.PENANAhc9KCKHB4L
898Please respect copyright.PENANAsoPEKn5EaR
I smile bitterly.898Please respect copyright.PENANA4FUBk4aQz6
898Please respect copyright.PENANA91gTVHrqqE
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.898Please respect copyright.PENANAuoMJYzgRUE
898Please respect copyright.PENANAln6hc3VrY0
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.898Please respect copyright.PENANAttDXNNXowZ
898Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gmyp6QRgF
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.898Please respect copyright.PENANAuY2XrbUBue
898Please respect copyright.PENANAbfYqWPoYQZ
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."898Please respect copyright.PENANAISHCMeYptC
898Please respect copyright.PENANA74fSD5DadM
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.898Please respect copyright.PENANAbZR1vxXsSN
898Please respect copyright.PENANALsN1ZVuzRb
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.898Please respect copyright.PENANAzrMviry4rN
898Please respect copyright.PENANA1X5tuOYbEF
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.898Please respect copyright.PENANAY739nRVO5w
898Please respect copyright.PENANAvVlqdyATto
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.898Please respect copyright.PENANAhu4HLDGeN8
898Please respect copyright.PENANAENw5S4ppT7
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.898Please respect copyright.PENANAV7TGCRYVuF
898Please respect copyright.PENANAtwXNjTy4Ri
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.898Please respect copyright.PENANAFM5mZDAFlh
898Please respect copyright.PENANANAxPeCkuHI
I must at all cost keep him awake.898Please respect copyright.PENANAdZcpsMzSTt
898Please respect copyright.PENANAVrwPp3Kfg3
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAozq3CFpuDg
898Please respect copyright.PENANA00JJ3nt1WE
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.898Please respect copyright.PENANAIGPYyPgDGi
898Please respect copyright.PENANA6mluKl12pd
"Not that long baby I promise."898Please respect copyright.PENANAFn6zyMy5h2
898Please respect copyright.PENANA4R3tipwRqv
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.898Please respect copyright.PENANAoYY7IjK7PJ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAyWl5eQmCyj
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.898Please respect copyright.PENANALmYQXXMdU0
898Please respect copyright.PENANAL7AnWCSYMd
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.898Please respect copyright.PENANAnJEDoQkjjG
898Please respect copyright.PENANACNuZws5sWc
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.898Please respect copyright.PENANAZPJOdwTgTq
898Please respect copyright.PENANA2HR5H4XtXP
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.898Please respect copyright.PENANAWDJeYZijUv
898Please respect copyright.PENANAv9DEF39lZ7
I frown at him.898Please respect copyright.PENANAQN7FiTxz9U
898Please respect copyright.PENANAt0K96iAAYh
"Don't say that."898Please respect copyright.PENANANCY6T7KzCH
898Please respect copyright.PENANAc2gpYc1Yri
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.898Please respect copyright.PENANAyHfmk5zRB7
898Please respect copyright.PENANAQcTfx4ultt
I gasp.898Please respect copyright.PENANAhXDMqPP0Nn
898Please respect copyright.PENANAwakqeIJa7t
"Jere stop!"898Please respect copyright.PENANAv80VN6b8E0
898Please respect copyright.PENANAgUOOPfb2mT
He goes on.898Please respect copyright.PENANAAM8BG8gmfa
898Please respect copyright.PENANAOLM7d48fcO
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.898Please respect copyright.PENANAvZuPsSUu3J
898Please respect copyright.PENANA13kp05vEu6
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAWuQz08SDlF
898Please respect copyright.PENANA5A31kZ2jYe
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"898Please respect copyright.PENANAXurHcJ1bV4
898Please respect copyright.PENANA8cFpCryH9t
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.898Please respect copyright.PENANAz6FtW8QQ8d
898Please respect copyright.PENANAqow03BpzMP
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.898Please respect copyright.PENANApUswb535gd
898Please respect copyright.PENANAii8a9tsFMI
"I won't."898Please respect copyright.PENANAaG2j180m5Q
898Please respect copyright.PENANAJNS9cjK11D
He obeys, watching me soberly.898Please respect copyright.PENANALZ9JB5qeTG
898Please respect copyright.PENANAFnkBqzL41u
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.898Please respect copyright.PENANAqVjSCKfQf3
898Please respect copyright.PENANARuaqlBeaDE
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.898Please respect copyright.PENANAqm0C8OigN4
898Please respect copyright.PENANAEAl5LviDzr
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.898Please respect copyright.PENANAIB2XGkHOfL
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.898Please respect copyright.PENANAHLr3yNOPzi
898Please respect copyright.PENANAFuTnjCr8ia
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.898Please respect copyright.PENANAQOVL4DlYDn
898Please respect copyright.PENANAMWWXzv9OJY
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.898Please respect copyright.PENANAcUiOlEOkFg
898Please respect copyright.PENANA39JLL9NOKt
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAC7KM8arDfF
898Please respect copyright.PENANAcD5zl348CJ
He tries to nod but he can't.898Please respect copyright.PENANA3AvkayFtpJ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.898Please respect copyright.PENANAtAJILqC88U
898Please respect copyright.PENANALAcZzOJLsW
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.898Please respect copyright.PENANAz0EJbuyPwq
898Please respect copyright.PENANA3kn7pnYk7e
He looks up into mine.898Please respect copyright.PENANACc79pHns8P
898Please respect copyright.PENANATJlva48oOF
"Don't leave me." He whispers.898Please respect copyright.PENANAaLEf9GvVoV
898Please respect copyright.PENANATSC0pGMl00
"Stay awake." I tell him.898Please respect copyright.PENANAOiP1hlg4g2
898Please respect copyright.PENANA0Aco6IKVzW
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.898Please respect copyright.PENANAKwTU92EzIC
898Please respect copyright.PENANAshLw5Dgmo3
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.898Please respect copyright.PENANA8z8r73w5MV
898Please respect copyright.PENANAk7UdcGcbAM
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"898Please respect copyright.PENANA7DYuWi8MiI
898Please respect copyright.PENANA25T1SGxdtq
He doesn't reply.898Please respect copyright.PENANAAV3V1ziqRJ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAmzVWGOIHV2
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.898Please respect copyright.PENANATW7xcAAEYV
898Please respect copyright.PENANAcu9VYwIEOi
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.898Please respect copyright.PENANAezCzV1o1DY
898Please respect copyright.PENANAGFjomckt7T
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"898Please respect copyright.PENANATYPR78mgpD
898Please respect copyright.PENANAyva3jfOJeI
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.898Please respect copyright.PENANAEd8KjD9p1X
898Please respect copyright.PENANAqIh2GmK4QV
"Stay awake." I told him softly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAOFTnLGNOTb
898Please respect copyright.PENANAx4QtGEDDDa
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.898Please respect copyright.PENANAeq0Nmi0D6c
898Please respect copyright.PENANAD3c3TFRJ3L
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAx0aefIPJr9
898Please respect copyright.PENANAzTr1X2iJ0T
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.898Please respect copyright.PENANAafq0Za3GLC
898Please respect copyright.PENANAuF5R5gyFfj
"Kiss me," he repeats.898Please respect copyright.PENANAQaGdclH7Oq
898Please respect copyright.PENANAmjh1RvSGlv
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.898Please respect copyright.PENANA4vxE5p6Hyq
898Please respect copyright.PENANAMOjnD4JOTE
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.898Please respect copyright.PENANAyi1esaa30p
898Please respect copyright.PENANANgFq0YNiKV
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.898Please respect copyright.PENANAxcHHeJnDwL
898Please respect copyright.PENANAcd4txHw35p
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.898Please respect copyright.PENANAIsmHhqL9UX
898Please respect copyright.PENANAE9KQSc8aeO
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.898Please respect copyright.PENANAE4XvmTxI6G
898Please respect copyright.PENANAVojQVKPBG2
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.898Please respect copyright.PENANArOzXlprxZg
898Please respect copyright.PENANAyGPFwn4Jty
Electricity races through me and lingers.898Please respect copyright.PENANAAqmXYh4Foo
898Please respect copyright.PENANAVeZaZXh5Lp
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.898Please respect copyright.PENANArBU7gelgw7
898Please respect copyright.PENANAATcvlOgYNZ
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.898Please respect copyright.PENANATBkoaUGJxO
898Please respect copyright.PENANArw3QKlWHm1
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.898Please respect copyright.PENANATfdjASPoc0
898Please respect copyright.PENANAqaSyAbV2Vo
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.898Please respect copyright.PENANADmnKexANvc
898Please respect copyright.PENANAxl3TmGvO4A
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.898Please respect copyright.PENANAiElgkpcvHb
898Please respect copyright.PENANA6FJZ1AWVx6
"Jeremy?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAIdVf37tMO2
898Please respect copyright.PENANAaFxrt7xfoa
I shake my head, not believing.898Please respect copyright.PENANAxKbHAaF10s
898Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ2QrSkPsi
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAJbASUy8EGO
898Please respect copyright.PENANAfFaRdU77h8
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.898Please respect copyright.PENANAjj2rKa4XuU
898Please respect copyright.PENANAeRDlPAtkeO
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.898Please respect copyright.PENANAIFjlNKj3Q6
898Please respect copyright.PENANAti1gtWgN91
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 898Please respect copyright.PENANAwc0UHoG4vm
898Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ9nP2Y1Wa
