JERE836Please respect copyright.PENANAHLjXO0AVIX
836Please respect copyright.PENANAgRBU9oC4NR
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.836Please respect copyright.PENANAbLPoxyjuXo
He's shaking underneath my grasp.836Please respect copyright.PENANAYJycUwwYEv
836Please respect copyright.PENANAShE5dJUX0C
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.836Please respect copyright.PENANAFieNiPCamf
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmboCrPsSFs
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.836Please respect copyright.PENANAv7ebHB2Mw7
836Please respect copyright.PENANAhet7RxVMXh
I smile bitterly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAmANVTZjQ0g
836Please respect copyright.PENANAy3hbWJE2f8
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.836Please respect copyright.PENANA7XL8RiuLoZ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAzB9sgqekAK
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.836Please respect copyright.PENANAmBRBq0DEj8
836Please respect copyright.PENANATytIZLg3Td
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.836Please respect copyright.PENANAd6iRQJgJfM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAg8cFegwRnN
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."836Please respect copyright.PENANAd65UPSFtSa
836Please respect copyright.PENANAfWlmBizWxF
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.836Please respect copyright.PENANA8bIA7JaoNQ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAOzBPtz5SKp
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.836Please respect copyright.PENANAeaeVsDlQOX
836Please respect copyright.PENANAcnE3DaL5F5
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAxRCyqQoegl
836Please respect copyright.PENANAHDSPK9YPgz
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.836Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZtLu6xnOe
836Please respect copyright.PENANAD5WtTegWVW
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.836Please respect copyright.PENANAYX0SRYa54r
836Please respect copyright.PENANAyoZ9wb3rjw
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.PENANAe4aMgNnPPZ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFv4tEv9eBk
I must at all cost keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.PENANAWvQCQtByEO
836Please respect copyright.PENANA302BjmHhBR
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAj5azIrxCtz
836Please respect copyright.PENANAm6H7cqLbzt
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.836Please respect copyright.PENANADMZegV4RYk
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUisFgo8TZW
"Not that long baby I promise."836Please respect copyright.PENANAeXdbuMgVC1
836Please respect copyright.PENANA5XPBBn6zPz
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.836Please respect copyright.PENANALTKcHhwRv0
836Please respect copyright.PENANAPJNPPjSVnp
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.836Please respect copyright.PENANAhZCXZOFovO
836Please respect copyright.PENANAlb9FnO93wv
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.836Please respect copyright.PENANAamRiFwsfoO
836Please respect copyright.PENANAaRMmWWUTI1
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.836Please respect copyright.PENANA0QKfNwOua6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAIZwSO9rhFy
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.836Please respect copyright.PENANAhegcby9ik8
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmAJwyMGZFH
I frown at him.836Please respect copyright.PENANAqDEseximAZ
836Please respect copyright.PENANArosisQfajz
"Don't say that."836Please respect copyright.PENANAEbCITDl5Cx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAfd2rMIF0hP
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.836Please respect copyright.PENANAZYSrYmaSR7
836Please respect copyright.PENANAqO4Pvd5Onv
I gasp.836Please respect copyright.PENANAy7e1OJYHFd
836Please respect copyright.PENANAiNJzFBAEN5
"Jere stop!"836Please respect copyright.PENANA57hVA6eGZo
836Please respect copyright.PENANAkgoxFNZpeT
He goes on.836Please respect copyright.PENANAYMp0tRg1Hv
836Please respect copyright.PENANA6xsadYzWFb
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.836Please respect copyright.PENANAt4czs2A0M2
836Please respect copyright.PENANACDenk3nFJs
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAeqyOJOZ88a
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUNwZy7kdlX
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"836Please respect copyright.PENANAsKJIB3bZIM
836Please respect copyright.PENANA7R692TXo57
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.836Please respect copyright.PENANAHGvo89q40f
836Please respect copyright.PENANAvtCRhhL8wF
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.836Please respect copyright.PENANA3vnmV1DsZ4
836Please respect copyright.PENANAe5KoL6cd16
"I won't."836Please respect copyright.PENANAdz9p68ZaEx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAxKqf3LjsRj
He obeys, watching me soberly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAe3E0sAlPKY
836Please respect copyright.PENANAR4wu6gCcs8
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.836Please respect copyright.PENANAgf8qxXJkB9
836Please respect copyright.PENANAzg98hiAQZv
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.836Please respect copyright.PENANA5wiGz58nYC
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmQz1g3nlI9
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.836Please respect copyright.PENANArf74I5BXC1
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.836Please respect copyright.PENANAnwYwUl7c0L
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUrCQgqb0JU
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.836Please respect copyright.PENANAMtUtphU4a6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAlRRvPIgiEn
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.836Please respect copyright.PENANADx7Q37saEY
836Please respect copyright.PENANAllcuMPqRW6
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAF0ZfmGGfCB
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFqF3IqbIx3
He tries to nod but he can't.836Please respect copyright.PENANAWwhnMdCs1T
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.836Please respect copyright.PENANAriTUnWmqRh
836Please respect copyright.PENANAJaJCnXMtVK
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.836Please respect copyright.PENANABpfq53QaY0
836Please respect copyright.PENANASpn5OW0ueJ
He looks up into mine.836Please respect copyright.PENANADre0oYjR1F
836Please respect copyright.PENANA5eEYEfjrKt
"Don't leave me." He whispers.836Please respect copyright.PENANARV9nhvUr3r
836Please respect copyright.PENANAhtnzCkxuxi
"Stay awake." I tell him.836Please respect copyright.PENANAaAtoLsaXXw
836Please respect copyright.PENANAAOKNkOY83y
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.836Please respect copyright.PENANAN0GLVVK1Nt
836Please respect copyright.PENANAtwiIWkVW1P
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.836Please respect copyright.PENANA0L5y4PDxtp
836Please respect copyright.PENANAc0lKB1lM0t
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"836Please respect copyright.PENANA77CIjwKihc
836Please respect copyright.PENANAIs0nlTPZnj
He doesn't reply.836Please respect copyright.PENANAqqLXfp6kQx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAuT7N7earRe
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.836Please respect copyright.PENANAnBrWgzvA9r
836Please respect copyright.PENANA8ozetOkHgU
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.836Please respect copyright.PENANARdNugXmCGQ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAKONwqBkFDB
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"836Please respect copyright.PENANAUWmOLfCXN3
836Please respect copyright.PENANACHmRJ2KfgZ
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.836Please respect copyright.PENANAmHqu2EThgC
836Please respect copyright.PENANAXGe1VET8hL
"Stay awake." I told him softly.836Please respect copyright.PENANATs05rBGnkj
836Please respect copyright.PENANAZi91n2gFcj
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.836Please respect copyright.PENANAwRTbFl9I4V
836Please respect copyright.PENANA26cERnywZj
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.836Please respect copyright.PENANApghO2tMzGW
836Please respect copyright.PENANAgoqzmNNTI8
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.836Please respect copyright.PENANAnOaGm9k2CU
836Please respect copyright.PENANAsTC2hRMTfy
"Kiss me," he repeats.836Please respect copyright.PENANAZBODt3uXIi
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmuEu5noFO0
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.836Please respect copyright.PENANAaPA135x9H9
836Please respect copyright.PENANAHdtcWcB5K2
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.836Please respect copyright.PENANA9wkJmeyfJL
836Please respect copyright.PENANAyHFLmCudhJ
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.836Please respect copyright.PENANAvjkLszusCM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAMYqNUbHeAN
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.836Please respect copyright.PENANAiVTTYdqP5Y
836Please respect copyright.PENANAKL3JNFytKp
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.836Please respect copyright.PENANABHQI9sBkBQ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAvF31ktrjiX
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.836Please respect copyright.PENANA7kpKLX8ttW
836Please respect copyright.PENANAX3QkYnPp8s
Electricity races through me and lingers.836Please respect copyright.PENANAVOiITrAEXm
836Please respect copyright.PENANAclck6lxUXY
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.836Please respect copyright.PENANAZpsU4eN6YI
836Please respect copyright.PENANABMQ3tnI3jn
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.836Please respect copyright.PENANAcEAKn94Qga
836Please respect copyright.PENANAdFSKLD28Mv
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.836Please respect copyright.PENANA3MhV7iJ0pT
836Please respect copyright.PENANAvNCEzmYHYA
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.836Please respect copyright.PENANA5dWt3ABEf5
836Please respect copyright.PENANATwt2kFDGvd
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.836Please respect copyright.PENANA1PNAsbsu4O
836Please respect copyright.PENANAQuVV2Gauy8
"Jeremy?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAIk6InIBel5
836Please respect copyright.PENANAszTcziuYqo
I shake my head, not believing.836Please respect copyright.PENANArBVM0wirvC
836Please respect copyright.PENANAW9q2osgzDI
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAb7CyrVEmn1
836Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ6ih6wV7Q
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.836Please respect copyright.PENANAn8XKgkobCJ
836Please respect copyright.PENANABCTofmRvGW
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.836Please respect copyright.PENANACUoDDJMkXz
836Please respect copyright.PENANAbZwSWQhGf4
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 836Please respect copyright.PENANAzkLEFlHCTh
836Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8utnD3hMI
