JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.762Please respect copyright.PENANAfCa37NCQiK
He's shaking underneath my grasp.762Please respect copyright.PENANAFJPT9W4Jot
762Please respect copyright.PENANATRrHhXnLlq
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.762Please respect copyright.PENANAReI1QYjzjz
762Please respect copyright.PENANADSxvEH46aP
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.762Please respect copyright.PENANAZo6RPNK9D5
762Please respect copyright.PENANAMLn8awIhbZ
I smile bitterly.762Please respect copyright.PENANABnBIh045xH
762Please respect copyright.PENANAoOkzOadEh6
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.762Please respect copyright.PENANAcK7rVgZ6FE
762Please respect copyright.PENANASDtN8tDKsk
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.762Please respect copyright.PENANABgIc3eZF2U
762Please respect copyright.PENANA1EO0zMCmiu
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.762Please respect copyright.PENANAHFlzBcAnqO
762Please respect copyright.PENANAv7rCj9yia0
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."762Please respect copyright.PENANAj70n2bytYq
762Please respect copyright.PENANA8AEvV7MAwt
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.762Please respect copyright.PENANApaU8d19jKE
762Please respect copyright.PENANAIbWl05yRl1
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.762Please respect copyright.PENANAPjBcBshrev
762Please respect copyright.PENANArOIY7nRSe3
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.762Please respect copyright.PENANAUJjF0jPSKY
762Please respect copyright.PENANA1hPm8RU147
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.762Please respect copyright.PENANAzqhEgd65Ha
762Please respect copyright.PENANABRHmJz9pnT
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.762Please respect copyright.PENANAaBdRfE4cyZ
762Please respect copyright.PENANAPsLNfKLTC0
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.762Please respect copyright.PENANABAavgSkYG7
762Please respect copyright.PENANAGsx9YWLNSo
I must at all cost keep him awake.762Please respect copyright.PENANAmnj6X8Hm5l
762Please respect copyright.PENANAgFxqIxU2aH
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"762Please respect copyright.PENANAEjQYOvq1JX
762Please respect copyright.PENANAMiP16ELMY6
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.762Please respect copyright.PENANAPgTreRQvMO
762Please respect copyright.PENANAeh06L2To2P
"Not that long baby I promise."762Please respect copyright.PENANA3pEdWvp9PJ
762Please respect copyright.PENANAfNa2t8SptK
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.762Please respect copyright.PENANAwT6e3DQFLn
762Please respect copyright.PENANA5IxUV1OECK
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.762Please respect copyright.PENANAPxHu5jRaNl
762Please respect copyright.PENANAoVuIbLzFFV
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.762Please respect copyright.PENANAhmdCeX08x5
762Please respect copyright.PENANAL9sW4XyCQv
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.762Please respect copyright.PENANApJWm1q4X6q
762Please respect copyright.PENANAPWtnupszZQ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.762Please respect copyright.PENANA1iiDq9tCtu
762Please respect copyright.PENANArRN16S9hrY
I frown at him.762Please respect copyright.PENANASWnmsGfgNs
762Please respect copyright.PENANABsIrmxty06
"Don't say that."762Please respect copyright.PENANADNCPg3tqA5
762Please respect copyright.PENANA1ij1Hj5cJ5
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.762Please respect copyright.PENANAYXZ0VinGbT
762Please respect copyright.PENANAFfDPXGAeP5
I gasp.762Please respect copyright.PENANArPGZw49o8E
762Please respect copyright.PENANAE1zxKgDHis
"Jere stop!"762Please respect copyright.PENANA9kZUPWwnXG
762Please respect copyright.PENANAGL7v0V04QH
He goes on.762Please respect copyright.PENANAM2GGIKCcJX
762Please respect copyright.PENANAv9UGNJWrCI
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.762Please respect copyright.PENANAxbtkApD2io
762Please respect copyright.PENANAmZI4BBjnm3
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAE5n5dfN757
762Please respect copyright.PENANALx7gPiGzxb
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"762Please respect copyright.PENANApoGP5nyv4v
762Please respect copyright.PENANAhQbVs1f0us
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.762Please respect copyright.PENANAn6P14Feils
762Please respect copyright.PENANABGXqheOWkO
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAYnDO1ueEYs
762Please respect copyright.PENANAZB0FiNjRZc
"I won't."762Please respect copyright.PENANABduj2seqKj
762Please respect copyright.PENANACgYsaPdUYl
He obeys, watching me soberly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAtZs86ClXb6
762Please respect copyright.PENANA5VoySwHR92
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.762Please respect copyright.PENANACvygPi5sLs
762Please respect copyright.PENANAFpdyzDqXle
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.762Please respect copyright.PENANA9wIF6UoK3U
762Please respect copyright.PENANAVGpziFyYuL
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.762Please respect copyright.PENANAauMZnR6cwr
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.762Please respect copyright.PENANAdHkrrhJXtG
762Please respect copyright.PENANAv4UVGJh3m0
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.762Please respect copyright.PENANApKf0PeTNOs
762Please respect copyright.PENANAVBiYIgwPh9
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.762Please respect copyright.PENANAqgh1AxBRfj
762Please respect copyright.PENANAKSPdVKTrBj
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"762Please respect copyright.PENANAYGTc9IAlNM
762Please respect copyright.PENANAXilP8UBy5j
He tries to nod but he can't.762Please respect copyright.PENANA9xZpr8Pd6L
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.762Please respect copyright.PENANAf1LXd2AGP3
762Please respect copyright.PENANAblsG4TVG46
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.762Please respect copyright.PENANAReJOthUA9D
762Please respect copyright.PENANAddOXjeMkbZ
He looks up into mine.762Please respect copyright.PENANA9ksfLH62xC
762Please respect copyright.PENANABfJMkBapsI
"Don't leave me." He whispers.762Please respect copyright.PENANAm3PUYDSwSB
762Please respect copyright.PENANAWSTH7NFROG
"Stay awake." I tell him.762Please respect copyright.PENANAeu284X1kTI
762Please respect copyright.PENANA2QJjC4fT2V
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.762Please respect copyright.PENANAE2lhusZtdE
762Please respect copyright.PENANAt9j4svnfas
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.762Please respect copyright.PENANAXkyiuBkBcf
762Please respect copyright.PENANAZ89W3oKs7p
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"762Please respect copyright.PENANArERYaC8g8X
762Please respect copyright.PENANAukinNDpyRE
He doesn't reply.762Please respect copyright.PENANAHTugFhdSCe
762Please respect copyright.PENANA7QYn8b9KUs
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.762Please respect copyright.PENANA875oAiqceK
762Please respect copyright.PENANAAAhLeBJM1L
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.762Please respect copyright.PENANAa8HjcPs4P3
762Please respect copyright.PENANAA6bDbli5NF
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"762Please respect copyright.PENANA4j6hGFOAfa
762Please respect copyright.PENANAOmj7xCOHuW
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.762Please respect copyright.PENANAQncbBJIOXa
762Please respect copyright.PENANAlBQWI9hObh
"Stay awake." I told him softly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAzawE6zXU6V
762Please respect copyright.PENANAy8vbFvbm6U
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.762Please respect copyright.PENANAkmkd6yG1V8
762Please respect copyright.PENANAGY6G9Hh4p5
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.762Please respect copyright.PENANA2UOEqlYuYs
762Please respect copyright.PENANA4CdDT6zMyt
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.762Please respect copyright.PENANA8mBilPXuxj
762Please respect copyright.PENANAPdk1ZjiHTz
"Kiss me," he repeats.762Please respect copyright.PENANAYFLUBIGhGJ
762Please respect copyright.PENANA4dOZkY41G9
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.762Please respect copyright.PENANAqbLGpoe0JN
762Please respect copyright.PENANAjnf3P8XNwP
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.762Please respect copyright.PENANArIwYTTibcD
762Please respect copyright.PENANAYvl1AIbBRt
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.762Please respect copyright.PENANABfB82TAU1T
762Please respect copyright.PENANAkCuwGvviWH
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.762Please respect copyright.PENANATrgPcuQ1Uk
762Please respect copyright.PENANAypppMFI7bV
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.762Please respect copyright.PENANArDmG72vCUj
762Please respect copyright.PENANAorUeTabK7y
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.762Please respect copyright.PENANAgVGCDxH3L4
762Please respect copyright.PENANA6xkhmVbJue
Electricity races through me and lingers.762Please respect copyright.PENANAOVunqqFKen
762Please respect copyright.PENANAwpRq5eMURo
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.762Please respect copyright.PENANAYpUha2Fntd
762Please respect copyright.PENANAjlFvoGeVO7
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.762Please respect copyright.PENANAQGaFJmwU2b
762Please respect copyright.PENANAuC9NbwFjJT
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.762Please respect copyright.PENANAeoUQKUw3bk
762Please respect copyright.PENANAdSgyxus1l0
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.762Please respect copyright.PENANAkITEmn79s7
762Please respect copyright.PENANAZWTlhOxWMw
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.762Please respect copyright.PENANAcHWbEw80aN
762Please respect copyright.PENANARsNcVER1o9
"Jeremy?"762Please respect copyright.PENANApFLBtq81o0
762Please respect copyright.PENANAdW3EZlP223
I shake my head, not believing.762Please respect copyright.PENANALdKiuVXlEj
762Please respect copyright.PENANAMm1FjlsJqF
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"762Please respect copyright.PENANA9Kh4BOMMdc
762Please respect copyright.PENANAjCEwKv9EKx
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.762Please respect copyright.PENANA72apGdmlTs
762Please respect copyright.PENANAaI9469Bldn
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.762Please respect copyright.PENANAySPOkKYwfU
762Please respect copyright.PENANApq4DWFC3dE
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 762Please respect copyright.PENANAhmIsRmrNxU
