JERE893Please respect copyright.PENANATapC7wxmLe
893Please respect copyright.PENANAAlhaOugeXz
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.893Please respect copyright.PENANA8NEl2UrNPo
He's shaking underneath my grasp.893Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Fmgd2SUj
893Please respect copyright.PENANAAqTBBSRPFO
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.893Please respect copyright.PENANAYtynlMNWTY
893Please respect copyright.PENANAihQtiLnBB2
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.893Please respect copyright.PENANAkowUvrXhSh
893Please respect copyright.PENANAuwlIk7JJjT
I smile bitterly.893Please respect copyright.PENANADHulrLAT2l
893Please respect copyright.PENANAOTFAVexq7R
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.893Please respect copyright.PENANAg8zTEGKDDN
893Please respect copyright.PENANAQNqS4jDCW2
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.893Please respect copyright.PENANAeKmrfWmG1k
893Please respect copyright.PENANA9fYrVSFwdz
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.893Please respect copyright.PENANAKUm2ppZqi1
893Please respect copyright.PENANA36wbbIh75k
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."893Please respect copyright.PENANAalh7ch6gX2
893Please respect copyright.PENANAoQjjCe3PQC
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.893Please respect copyright.PENANA2hqlclerE6
893Please respect copyright.PENANAklHz4jUU8w
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.893Please respect copyright.PENANAESssGPgdxb
893Please respect copyright.PENANAYAJSp8bt8k
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.893Please respect copyright.PENANA3IFYcoQT52
893Please respect copyright.PENANASyI54JRcPu
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.893Please respect copyright.PENANAd1RoU5Udpq
893Please respect copyright.PENANABvME9oHUwg
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.893Please respect copyright.PENANAgTu55mhSaq
893Please respect copyright.PENANABarCqSXyqQ
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.893Please respect copyright.PENANAmN7qpMF6qj
893Please respect copyright.PENANAin2kTGr92G
I must at all cost keep him awake.893Please respect copyright.PENANAScyXNdyc0h
893Please respect copyright.PENANA8FqW11W71m
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"893Please respect copyright.PENANAs2aaDdUw0x
893Please respect copyright.PENANAi8ie392yQj
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.893Please respect copyright.PENANA26erN17Kba
893Please respect copyright.PENANATKqM8TwyNb
"Not that long baby I promise."893Please respect copyright.PENANAiv44XTYqkP
893Please respect copyright.PENANAxRR3UxszDa
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.893Please respect copyright.PENANAR8FxqtLgT9
893Please respect copyright.PENANAn3wjlOibNN
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.893Please respect copyright.PENANAfxtlMgBrEl
893Please respect copyright.PENANACLucMhlqYU
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.893Please respect copyright.PENANAs6oXyhYrOC
893Please respect copyright.PENANATExjsZrcZq
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.893Please respect copyright.PENANATC4APDJQzC
893Please respect copyright.PENANAV2AHit54uJ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.893Please respect copyright.PENANApk5ufzxYfL
893Please respect copyright.PENANAgF6LIYdXRq
I frown at him.893Please respect copyright.PENANAuqSk4dx2o6
893Please respect copyright.PENANA1PpRt1j2wu
"Don't say that."893Please respect copyright.PENANAZttQjLipc0
893Please respect copyright.PENANAIlIaSuPkZO
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.893Please respect copyright.PENANARV7svZoczj
893Please respect copyright.PENANAsIxALyMLdp
I gasp.893Please respect copyright.PENANAmnRjTOxxXv
893Please respect copyright.PENANAYg2st5w43A
"Jere stop!"893Please respect copyright.PENANA1goq44RJjb
893Please respect copyright.PENANASX1P8sIWap
He goes on.893Please respect copyright.PENANAl2Ewc3zGYm
893Please respect copyright.PENANAUQAsrXqU53
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.893Please respect copyright.PENANAjJVnPQmDWq
893Please respect copyright.PENANAjtyhgDk27e
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.893Please respect copyright.PENANAE3EzsvyI5Z
893Please respect copyright.PENANAlWuePR51Zb
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"893Please respect copyright.PENANAncCXu6hx0I
893Please respect copyright.PENANAx03N0aSH5M
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.893Please respect copyright.PENANAKqtDe47X19
893Please respect copyright.PENANAyq0yQYxGTf
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.893Please respect copyright.PENANAV2iox1Nouu
893Please respect copyright.PENANA2RA406Mzsj
"I won't."893Please respect copyright.PENANAT5lDVt25UZ
893Please respect copyright.PENANAq9PKz2WWJl
He obeys, watching me soberly.893Please respect copyright.PENANA7ryGejC9Sq
893Please respect copyright.PENANABBdGYFICLB
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.893Please respect copyright.PENANAYpJVFBg99I
893Please respect copyright.PENANA5vDFKqgsyl
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.893Please respect copyright.PENANADfFgXSagP9
893Please respect copyright.PENANAJMgUFIcR5E
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.893Please respect copyright.PENANAupbQ8pAmTE
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.893Please respect copyright.PENANAKC2mlr90i6
893Please respect copyright.PENANAoUbzWvF8z0
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.893Please respect copyright.PENANAURDFN8tk0p
893Please respect copyright.PENANAzB7Im8nQiD
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.893Please respect copyright.PENANA55ofV28HcP
893Please respect copyright.PENANAIQEr4SFFju
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"893Please respect copyright.PENANAi50tLjikd8
893Please respect copyright.PENANAUofaKmNhuY
He tries to nod but he can't.893Please respect copyright.PENANAPrZz7yABmh
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.893Please respect copyright.PENANAx8ooQMjXvL
893Please respect copyright.PENANACRMrsVbmbS
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.893Please respect copyright.PENANApOpW1fU6UR
893Please respect copyright.PENANAGMCfGeQJCG
He looks up into mine.893Please respect copyright.PENANA6B2Z7jGgso
893Please respect copyright.PENANAXN24F63apU
"Don't leave me." He whispers.893Please respect copyright.PENANAjZqoOvmAD6
893Please respect copyright.PENANAKE5GOC6dje
"Stay awake." I tell him.893Please respect copyright.PENANANtpOKJeKMR
893Please respect copyright.PENANAbHi8ua5PzO
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.893Please respect copyright.PENANAkmdhG9urCZ
893Please respect copyright.PENANA27dmiMQt2I
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.893Please respect copyright.PENANAG8WSzLmddl
893Please respect copyright.PENANAa6wFmGDjix
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"893Please respect copyright.PENANAQby2GXI17E
893Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Rt8jCDpO
He doesn't reply.893Please respect copyright.PENANAj0U1z9fHaK
893Please respect copyright.PENANAJfgEGIkBHh
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.893Please respect copyright.PENANADE4x8MRzyR
893Please respect copyright.PENANAQZaFRyPpfd
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.893Please respect copyright.PENANAjiUDOSMEbQ
893Please respect copyright.PENANATkkDIJ6BVs
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"893Please respect copyright.PENANAj0eL9OQN0g
893Please respect copyright.PENANATQg15B7XBq
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.893Please respect copyright.PENANAhNJ7K4Mj4p
893Please respect copyright.PENANA8d5jBb4hxN
"Stay awake." I told him softly.893Please respect copyright.PENANAodVf6of32M
893Please respect copyright.PENANApyslaeTUwS
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.893Please respect copyright.PENANADafXtpPy4L
893Please respect copyright.PENANAsnBb1B6hbh
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.893Please respect copyright.PENANAWUbUnUiMum
893Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ1nS9UfM7
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.893Please respect copyright.PENANAHxUqZuMjc1
893Please respect copyright.PENANAdttLfJpFAB
"Kiss me," he repeats.893Please respect copyright.PENANATrFBuE9gVL
893Please respect copyright.PENANAT8QflSAd5u
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.893Please respect copyright.PENANAysJ1arrIi4
893Please respect copyright.PENANAeEsRhIqMwI
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.893Please respect copyright.PENANAlQqHOxcHxL
893Please respect copyright.PENANATbZktSu0ky
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.893Please respect copyright.PENANAXsqkIvPDkQ
893Please respect copyright.PENANAkoBVAZmF3l
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.893Please respect copyright.PENANAICqRMXbk7I
893Please respect copyright.PENANABbHukke4dv
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.893Please respect copyright.PENANAdspqmOojck
893Please respect copyright.PENANABEqZ7Rsj3p
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.893Please respect copyright.PENANA06NP75hFeD
893Please respect copyright.PENANAt5tYTsNYnZ
Electricity races through me and lingers.893Please respect copyright.PENANAqgUCRfShpn
893Please respect copyright.PENANAHwx0lsfAeN
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.893Please respect copyright.PENANAkqnlfBnIWZ
893Please respect copyright.PENANA8iZ8ERrgFz
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.893Please respect copyright.PENANAyglzQ4ID00
893Please respect copyright.PENANAIW6pMYdQKC
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.893Please respect copyright.PENANAWVZ5NqWnrp
893Please respect copyright.PENANAdBjwZ7NA0l
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.893Please respect copyright.PENANA0FmknJNIPW
893Please respect copyright.PENANAxQDjvuO702
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.893Please respect copyright.PENANAAiFniVlCbn
893Please respect copyright.PENANA8hTEYWSwXA
"Jeremy?"893Please respect copyright.PENANAIIkdzXh7NP
893Please respect copyright.PENANAJrdsnZeQdQ
I shake my head, not believing.893Please respect copyright.PENANAAj86Ns2EC3
893Please respect copyright.PENANANqmQAFSxiB
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"893Please respect copyright.PENANArUFEF9DczU
893Please respect copyright.PENANAeE1Fc7b1yM
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.893Please respect copyright.PENANAWYAc0S3A74
893Please respect copyright.PENANA7InfjvzYsc
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.893Please respect copyright.PENANAElot5W0zWf
893Please respect copyright.PENANA722BjEuCf0
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 893Please respect copyright.PENANAO6KJIPjzKP
893Please respect copyright.PENANAWWoJ0OcGG6
893Please respect copyright.PENANA1g3BLHFTlf
