JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.943Please respect copyright.PENANAcnqlc3sPbC
He's shaking underneath my grasp.943Please respect copyright.PENANArDwIbCmtRP
943Please respect copyright.PENANAtFHpPOfwK4
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.943Please respect copyright.PENANAxvQCkDQBGC
943Please respect copyright.PENANAaQu21AZcf5
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.943Please respect copyright.PENANACtKqftYFvT
943Please respect copyright.PENANAD6tECNIptc
I smile bitterly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdOuC8ogpgh
943Please respect copyright.PENANA65dIM1efMI
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhGS8QEMvSa
943Please respect copyright.PENANA3gltfIj1pS
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.943Please respect copyright.PENANAfZUyuC18fD
943Please respect copyright.PENANAOYKwLoh9sv
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.943Please respect copyright.PENANAtU3jNXV9bL
943Please respect copyright.PENANAiI7oYW0WlG
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAz1MmCez9AL
943Please respect copyright.PENANARUAPtiN2iO
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIc4ZMZ5iux
943Please respect copyright.PENANA2FtHwCWnEE
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.943Please respect copyright.PENANAfL9vJuaH8v
943Please respect copyright.PENANASInFuLnQ8O
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANARj5GmNnt6q
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZwGTsqhns8
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.943Please respect copyright.PENANAH0Trns8omT
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZYv9qgRabE
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.943Please respect copyright.PENANA4RjYuvSTMS
943Please respect copyright.PENANAo6zLpAYUZ6
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvPWU9Q4xeO
943Please respect copyright.PENANAb6IUI2DZbS
I must at all cost keep him awake.943Please respect copyright.PENANAyeXHlEJe3U
943Please respect copyright.PENANAwseilcDTss
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAToRsz9Jebc
943Please respect copyright.PENANA15NwP3BfvR
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.943Please respect copyright.PENANAnwtHjNVkXB
943Please respect copyright.PENANAH5GIBaJi6j
"Not that long baby I promise."943Please respect copyright.PENANAscZFiJlsqO
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMAa3PTd1st
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJvDc6Xn5ib
943Please respect copyright.PENANAO7dlhXCXhB
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlaIxgZyh89
943Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xx6NBf7qy
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.943Please respect copyright.PENANAcbaL4K0gRr
943Please respect copyright.PENANAX7wwXL2TYr
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdz5NHbcEAV
943Please respect copyright.PENANAG6rkiVuXMk
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjNC5iGLEFo
943Please respect copyright.PENANARgBfn8SRvd
I frown at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMnGxt77g8p
943Please respect copyright.PENANArsqqPWN6Dl
"Don't say that."943Please respect copyright.PENANA9JKC5GRlQp
943Please respect copyright.PENANAtdCM6V4Qrk
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9Sp7fK5RkB
943Please respect copyright.PENANAzyEBwEpFQL
I gasp.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjUY08g2SVi
943Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ7lGV71bS
"Jere stop!"943Please respect copyright.PENANAUnl7XXxRz2
943Please respect copyright.PENANAC49ThQKQjE
He goes on.943Please respect copyright.PENANAaDb6Q4zlXC
943Please respect copyright.PENANAgSXnyJYbdz
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.943Please respect copyright.PENANAyv43tfBuYB
943Please respect copyright.PENANAW608DMv6PS
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOLliUSZLLm
943Please respect copyright.PENANApC6SLTn1qF
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"943Please respect copyright.PENANAGTCwpnaMrC
943Please respect copyright.PENANAKQWw1vcXXo
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQL2KflkBzL
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMwV9DR5yGq
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAI9dWskqBAk
943Please respect copyright.PENANAPor2wYhq0i
"I won't."943Please respect copyright.PENANAIXPaCJTkgc
943Please respect copyright.PENANAIW16vLsXaS
He obeys, watching me soberly.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1bwswOK3dy
943Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ0eH3b58J
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqdOgtDihdJ
943Please respect copyright.PENANAhng0C9q2Wo
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.943Please respect copyright.PENANAvrPECz9U5Y
943Please respect copyright.PENANAP5a4ilDHB6
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6YnmXrHca8
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.943Please respect copyright.PENANAUJcAjIytNH
943Please respect copyright.PENANAbpZhNlCWgh
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVzZlCI8Vrt
943Please respect copyright.PENANAoowvgCH3yT
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9a9E8uZzwY
943Please respect copyright.PENANAG7ZDNgG7XY
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAaQJawTu6mY
943Please respect copyright.PENANABlKrNOAG04
He tries to nod but he can't.943Please respect copyright.PENANAxT73TCXnuH
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0epthZotGt
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMvFSoT9HFe
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.943Please respect copyright.PENANAcbKZcvgWVX
943Please respect copyright.PENANAcSSOLVegHd
He looks up into mine.943Please respect copyright.PENANANz39KXWAfQ
943Please respect copyright.PENANAEmYr7UN9uo
"Don't leave me." He whispers.943Please respect copyright.PENANAPT1xPMqyqF
943Please respect copyright.PENANAhVNqZxQD4r
"Stay awake." I tell him.943Please respect copyright.PENANAnSZBtWbVYZ
943Please respect copyright.PENANAXCWn3EtcwO
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjRHtHwGPvN
943Please respect copyright.PENANAOC0ZqZ4wNP
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlQIxnU6CnD
943Please respect copyright.PENANAQfOA4jz1eT
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAFGMQrjDPPs
943Please respect copyright.PENANA5wuTp7QVuZ
He doesn't reply.943Please respect copyright.PENANASLB2k4gIET
943Please respect copyright.PENANAgOGqzWec0t
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.943Please respect copyright.PENANA53PHEBhyA1
943Please respect copyright.PENANAHiO3glmnG8
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.943Please respect copyright.PENANAq5eWCFGrek
943Please respect copyright.PENANARYK28XoVCk
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"943Please respect copyright.PENANABZYnA3KBmy
943Please respect copyright.PENANAAImLQVI67l
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.943Please respect copyright.PENANA5JI80omGkY
943Please respect copyright.PENANA5tDR9l4aoZ
"Stay awake." I told him softly.943Please respect copyright.PENANARn7zDrV256
943Please respect copyright.PENANAoJzRnLh6HR
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.943Please respect copyright.PENANAuEjAMDfWgO
943Please respect copyright.PENANAi2eQbbfVu1
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAF70doDAJSx
943Please respect copyright.PENANAhptAN8pF3p
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdtoBBfQiZ7
943Please respect copyright.PENANAH0dxD1q4Xa
"Kiss me," he repeats.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIJPXHu2w0l
943Please respect copyright.PENANA8mm7fuU1TR
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.943Please respect copyright.PENANAuiS7Tr0Blf
943Please respect copyright.PENANAldTQQF1l4s
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.943Please respect copyright.PENANA23IroeMbwB
943Please respect copyright.PENANAPn04EkcJA9
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.943Please respect copyright.PENANA3VIrNzNvNY
943Please respect copyright.PENANAjuBdIyeR2g
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.943Please respect copyright.PENANAYLLuMN0aaO
943Please respect copyright.PENANAR9eTfEkfai
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.943Please respect copyright.PENANAt3aEDAQfIa
943Please respect copyright.PENANAAeEAukDKup
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKY7tacNUHm
943Please respect copyright.PENANA6VVufKYPmo
Electricity races through me and lingers.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlPqVzQRXLC
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMtAcABX47R
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.943Please respect copyright.PENANAO2wxCClNvp
943Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Hy4YlOBl
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.943Please respect copyright.PENANApRwV7apq2u
943Please respect copyright.PENANAXcNDgkyE7l
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXTSsUsjrJL
943Please respect copyright.PENANA3qGk9NEUeA
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVG92xjPnHj
943Please respect copyright.PENANAo6Sb0YNECU
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.943Please respect copyright.PENANA6R3eyYlUDc
943Please respect copyright.PENANAplMo1bhQ6W
"Jeremy?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAsemBV3ynj9
943Please respect copyright.PENANAxeHpvxQQWj
I shake my head, not believing.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9kw8aL4KVv
943Please respect copyright.PENANAu4N4FKgcMY
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA8OybyDnifs
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZxrQDZG2y8
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.943Please respect copyright.PENANAb7bDbqMusI
943Please respect copyright.PENANA8JLfw6Ngun
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMWhy5cslF5
943Please respect copyright.PENANAANAkEXXVmE
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 943Please respect copyright.PENANA8QpT72JQZ4
