JERE676Please respect copyright.PENANAFuEeYx3VAi
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlHkCSNuHi9
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.676Please respect copyright.PENANA3OZ7BUamin
He's shaking underneath my grasp.676Please respect copyright.PENANALnwNeZMZpf
676Please respect copyright.PENANAlZBC2NdeWM
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.676Please respect copyright.PENANAqkqofOaeqQ
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4foGtJh3AK
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.676Please respect copyright.PENANA25dpcscMgA
676Please respect copyright.PENANAr50HX1oM8C
I smile bitterly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAsGIn8L9xKr
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbBuAJ63HRQ
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.676Please respect copyright.PENANAcCHEPjixvI
676Please respect copyright.PENANA5ENLhFEsSr
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.676Please respect copyright.PENANAuKnoqTndCw
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXCbQA4voUj
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.676Please respect copyright.PENANAUHTZA6zXDh
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbeCwjvutqo
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."676Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gt6vrL9O9
676Please respect copyright.PENANAFX99fMnt37
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.676Please respect copyright.PENANA6INmYpXOeL
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOtqnEMZmW8
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.676Please respect copyright.PENANAS3beblru2X
676Please respect copyright.PENANAeAc5xSSWqm
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.676Please respect copyright.PENANAWVAeYQZVSU
676Please respect copyright.PENANAdlYyVeTcm1
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.676Please respect copyright.PENANAVNvJeVqsJq
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzDcB9WfEia
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.676Please respect copyright.PENANA4iXDE7NEmz
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUGzxyKt993
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.676Please respect copyright.PENANAQU4e61wxUR
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzqJHLgGjt7
I must at all cost keep him awake.676Please respect copyright.PENANAWXWUhkZ6Kx
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbMcw3wtiEb
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAG9ALeAH22R
676Please respect copyright.PENANA6ah0yYLXev
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.676Please respect copyright.PENANAUniiZk3RvA
676Please respect copyright.PENANAhopojQObby
"Not that long baby I promise."676Please respect copyright.PENANAnSnRDH3NbI
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3xCJdBlzfq
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.676Please respect copyright.PENANAn6jCdH9Tz8
676Please respect copyright.PENANATFAp8hg9Ha
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.676Please respect copyright.PENANAbvtLUYQR4l
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJei8KzOp4N
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.676Please respect copyright.PENANAELC9RuIcuE
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyn38iEvemW
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.676Please respect copyright.PENANAyR5BkQQ1db
676Please respect copyright.PENANA41GtLnA4dV
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.676Please respect copyright.PENANADiUcThclw6
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2B147lYpFG
I frown at him.676Please respect copyright.PENANAm9hsF7zFuW
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMRx4z0utbB
"Don't say that."676Please respect copyright.PENANAnNOt7Xvnug
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxAeg1yNEML
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.676Please respect copyright.PENANAggCuvvE8vd
676Please respect copyright.PENANAGhTZGYuDb3
I gasp.676Please respect copyright.PENANAN03ND1ib0X
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHPg9nnbHYF
"Jere stop!"676Please respect copyright.PENANAQmXa3d4fhG
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnuBHMwMBWR
He goes on.676Please respect copyright.PENANA4H1ib36rXX
676Please respect copyright.PENANASj4lzknpko
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAQx5Q4en4Pt
676Please respect copyright.PENANADLE39aD4Fb
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAfD9lPggkUP
676Please respect copyright.PENANAly84CoLq6O
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"676Please respect copyright.PENANAwQf8lfgHI9
676Please respect copyright.PENANAS0lfu6s54q
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.676Please respect copyright.PENANA0sqTVsf5LH
676Please respect copyright.PENANAD9J8m0xchp
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAbNHZlyD0jj
676Please respect copyright.PENANAi29xWbVgE1
"I won't."676Please respect copyright.PENANABDHRHDOXHz
676Please respect copyright.PENANARib1N0860S
He obeys, watching me soberly.676Please respect copyright.PENANACyboWRDYyM
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzKFmEreSYB
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.676Please respect copyright.PENANAChgU0XGuit
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4FPch2KuwH
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.676Please respect copyright.PENANAZVcrR8Ljht
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ4SqdnREY
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.676Please respect copyright.PENANAepX5k63rSc
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.676Please respect copyright.PENANAQkKQTaU2r5
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMJjTWM7sMJ
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.676Please respect copyright.PENANANNJLZ5jneY
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUvW7vEJIWt
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.676Please respect copyright.PENANAYl7a6GRs4T
676Please respect copyright.PENANAehrSe8iyeR
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAGjp09r1J6b
676Please respect copyright.PENANAwtA8rhMMTb
He tries to nod but he can't.676Please respect copyright.PENANAYxWIjZQ0CS
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.676Please respect copyright.PENANANA8ReYTNZW
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHwtZkwPhzT
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.676Please respect copyright.PENANAd1ugb7GjSe
676Please respect copyright.PENANApqppWIdCyB
He looks up into mine.676Please respect copyright.PENANATDUBxDlpss
676Please respect copyright.PENANAa0uEb2gd1t
"Don't leave me." He whispers.676Please respect copyright.PENANA454PNiMqI8
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ39z2yBFQ
"Stay awake." I tell him.676Please respect copyright.PENANAhOb7TSFjCR
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoTsbc3x8b1
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.676Please respect copyright.PENANAVIoWhDrJTq
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUiWXdsWvMI
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.676Please respect copyright.PENANApaLjDPxPng
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuRQDna0QxJ
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAWn9CnfcdFh
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvLUavdV3S1
He doesn't reply.676Please respect copyright.PENANAaolwMaJmbJ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAdVU0ePKim9
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.676Please respect copyright.PENANAFBsYgyqqFT
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2WQ794Siny
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.676Please respect copyright.PENANAS1rvcSvNAQ
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4PcMt3mfLy
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"676Please respect copyright.PENANA1ohXdA5zlT
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjzv8txIUtE
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.676Please respect copyright.PENANAnCn0P07Ze5
676Please respect copyright.PENANAuKoDEWiFh2
"Stay awake." I told him softly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAIPArt9oiHp
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvOVy3Kl2Mg
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.676Please respect copyright.PENANAzn2pqlqO2r
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7gpfKpxHRt
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAj543GNd4QR
676Please respect copyright.PENANAkboFn2ssb1
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.676Please respect copyright.PENANAp9EUusuONh
676Please respect copyright.PENANAU89GrRlnwk
"Kiss me," he repeats.676Please respect copyright.PENANA95lv3MKs75
676Please respect copyright.PENANA9jJFmEjiB0
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.676Please respect copyright.PENANAUZKjjJm8PO
676Please respect copyright.PENANADm6kGD87Vd
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.676Please respect copyright.PENANAKGGd14JKog
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgAA4aeT1PG
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.676Please respect copyright.PENANAO3HnjLOfLx
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMT3jzME8P9
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.676Please respect copyright.PENANA36GZ3wI3bc
676Please respect copyright.PENANARZaJfyB9M7
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.676Please respect copyright.PENANAXg5QvlGFSZ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzSl2mVf4U6
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.676Please respect copyright.PENANAwjdnrVFPL8
676Please respect copyright.PENANAAvTemZNt0S
Electricity races through me and lingers.676Please respect copyright.PENANA95ALMJm9Ye
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMfBOzbRMMH
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.676Please respect copyright.PENANA766L7QCrZh
676Please respect copyright.PENANAN6PdCvgUem
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.676Please respect copyright.PENANA4RZfgClggt
676Please respect copyright.PENANALeyAkirh1z
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.676Please respect copyright.PENANAQImiCcmSpR
676Please respect copyright.PENANACShz7TeuNx
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.676Please respect copyright.PENANANUaI8MrR8O
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjcEJ3PUAIR
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.676Please respect copyright.PENANABcp6oTlvzB
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3qhnBIF5DD
"Jeremy?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAhgblR3XvWc
676Please respect copyright.PENANA6N8BBtSonH
I shake my head, not believing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAd8lshd3LIA
676Please respect copyright.PENANAth8a9hjJny
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"676Please respect copyright.PENANATI1bQavsrw
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMJjVXKYUs1
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.676Please respect copyright.PENANAzZW8kxYBR4
676Please respect copyright.PENANAhIMixkB8K8
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.676Please respect copyright.PENANAHpht7XDyN6
676Please respect copyright.PENANA5oPyjcZejn
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAoeQM6hWxhI
676Please respect copyright.PENANAWRDCdxOxKZ
