JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.790Please respect copyright.PENANAyq5MK3AD6e
He's shaking underneath my grasp.790Please respect copyright.PENANAWRR5SoYVRm
790Please respect copyright.PENANAzNNKGqWvmB
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.790Please respect copyright.PENANADTIxfF42CY
790Please respect copyright.PENANAd6EkFRlGPy
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.790Please respect copyright.PENANABO49hyfPWr
790Please respect copyright.PENANAhMCwIjtsmS
I smile bitterly.790Please respect copyright.PENANA8gZiBw7z0u
790Please respect copyright.PENANAWCdEijNpR9
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.790Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rfmuy4Mdb
790Please respect copyright.PENANALNsmrEHR4n
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.790Please respect copyright.PENANAUweDUCPuxX
790Please respect copyright.PENANAaVHqQWDjN7
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.790Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q7neitVE3
790Please respect copyright.PENANAbHVgaoU1om
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."790Please respect copyright.PENANASrsAxfNkuB
790Please respect copyright.PENANAC9n7tcbqir
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.790Please respect copyright.PENANAPVhWsWebf8
790Please respect copyright.PENANAd6xUSlXqdo
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.790Please respect copyright.PENANAyRkGHmpjeg
790Please respect copyright.PENANAFTBbhfLqH7
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.790Please respect copyright.PENANAgewLRI5P9n
790Please respect copyright.PENANA9T1ySKbQwO
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.790Please respect copyright.PENANAHX1Hu33DIT
790Please respect copyright.PENANAsM2MtAPHH3
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.790Please respect copyright.PENANA0jKrWnIr54
790Please respect copyright.PENANAn6YxjLaw1m
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.790Please respect copyright.PENANAhMyKbU9KT9
790Please respect copyright.PENANAULidq1kOFg
I must at all cost keep him awake.790Please respect copyright.PENANAmQQw9gBbe7
790Please respect copyright.PENANA7zcFlWhJPb
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"790Please respect copyright.PENANARa1xntlbgZ
790Please respect copyright.PENANAuwmoAnxmGU
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.790Please respect copyright.PENANA8iQRlXblEz
790Please respect copyright.PENANA5WYDNXzP9q
"Not that long baby I promise."790Please respect copyright.PENANAHOt3hr3txU
790Please respect copyright.PENANABXTV1jzAXn
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.790Please respect copyright.PENANAzjauq3lmsC
790Please respect copyright.PENANAqRObBkdGN4
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.790Please respect copyright.PENANAZfhDgDHTSL
790Please respect copyright.PENANA0lpz2wGF1d
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.790Please respect copyright.PENANA5GEzdQ21Rx
790Please respect copyright.PENANATtYjCYo8T4
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.790Please respect copyright.PENANAH0tm6eUUSf
790Please respect copyright.PENANAZaOWalYtjx
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.790Please respect copyright.PENANARWMoimhB9t
790Please respect copyright.PENANAx3BKsA5UPh
I frown at him.790Please respect copyright.PENANAzUpN9S0jHh
790Please respect copyright.PENANAqG37dTkuMC
"Don't say that."790Please respect copyright.PENANAtFwKmqzvQm
790Please respect copyright.PENANAY6K7FCIKiC
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.790Please respect copyright.PENANAPlox0Iyxvn
790Please respect copyright.PENANA2SrskqgfCq
I gasp.790Please respect copyright.PENANAYSp0OzgntH
790Please respect copyright.PENANAW7HKZeNm8y
"Jere stop!"790Please respect copyright.PENANANlJVBeIx4w
790Please respect copyright.PENANAutMuzLcTCj
He goes on.790Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZBTDqh0VV
790Please respect copyright.PENANAsMYPVx58C6
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.790Please respect copyright.PENANAfLfjPzAM4j
790Please respect copyright.PENANATF562cAGCc
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.790Please respect copyright.PENANAyCWOecC8R4
790Please respect copyright.PENANAgC1MalTF4f
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"790Please respect copyright.PENANAwy4hN9yvwE
790Please respect copyright.PENANA4zzjfKPjnT
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.790Please respect copyright.PENANAj5OGICkhFQ
790Please respect copyright.PENANAzHOei0Nghz
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.790Please respect copyright.PENANA4AAQrgsTZx
790Please respect copyright.PENANAhBZGoVL59n
"I won't."790Please respect copyright.PENANAf6mV2um92t
790Please respect copyright.PENANAoC93uzK3VM
He obeys, watching me soberly.790Please respect copyright.PENANABmrR6xKpGM
790Please respect copyright.PENANAqD5sMtghcb
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.790Please respect copyright.PENANACDcemxUnMd
790Please respect copyright.PENANAZSaQaHFw5b
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.790Please respect copyright.PENANAJtgFBmo844
790Please respect copyright.PENANAl7HH8UNaZo
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.790Please respect copyright.PENANAjGivz39Tet
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.790Please respect copyright.PENANA0w5V89EIrG
790Please respect copyright.PENANAyMj0SpOWG9
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.790Please respect copyright.PENANAfKI7WuA3nB
790Please respect copyright.PENANARj2IbPO02A
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.790Please respect copyright.PENANA8GBklNVWOF
790Please respect copyright.PENANApBYBkNpmTh
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"790Please respect copyright.PENANAkfitqjxbjP
790Please respect copyright.PENANAjOWpehfU0J
He tries to nod but he can't.790Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ikmIGBAB
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.790Please respect copyright.PENANAFI4GyVpNcm
790Please respect copyright.PENANAopoBr7TZh3
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.790Please respect copyright.PENANAhlopI2VK1z
790Please respect copyright.PENANAWeuzsUIizJ
He looks up into mine.790Please respect copyright.PENANANHaYTPUf9C
790Please respect copyright.PENANAvcRvGULZcz
"Don't leave me." He whispers.790Please respect copyright.PENANAwTKTkNwcn0
790Please respect copyright.PENANA9Su9l3H1KR
"Stay awake." I tell him.790Please respect copyright.PENANA0OhgRmfFLm
790Please respect copyright.PENANAVu6KIT8gLq
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.790Please respect copyright.PENANA3ctz9kc7Y9
790Please respect copyright.PENANAqUKEETO8DT
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.790Please respect copyright.PENANAVaO2wnhbGO
790Please respect copyright.PENANAgVikLtgaoR
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"790Please respect copyright.PENANAukPfyG9Ty9
790Please respect copyright.PENANANtPku1vgMr
He doesn't reply.790Please respect copyright.PENANAfeeKQ71FLM
790Please respect copyright.PENANAtlJHO3BIIY
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.790Please respect copyright.PENANA5buJTlg8Fj
790Please respect copyright.PENANAl4b4UOewuB
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.790Please respect copyright.PENANAEsIHfe88tP
790Please respect copyright.PENANAPIzjtGPwL4
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"790Please respect copyright.PENANApH3UO1QZcR
790Please respect copyright.PENANA8GxeEPkXms
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.790Please respect copyright.PENANAJwzpP4Q4wO
790Please respect copyright.PENANACMSYB74Cag
"Stay awake." I told him softly.790Please respect copyright.PENANA9euN9PWeON
790Please respect copyright.PENANAmbWqIjhy2N
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.790Please respect copyright.PENANAWCtqgCgUMo
790Please respect copyright.PENANA4kv3YPU73E
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.790Please respect copyright.PENANATPfrZLcYf1
790Please respect copyright.PENANAXxHvTjG8cu
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.790Please respect copyright.PENANAv6CvGx0IED
790Please respect copyright.PENANA2M2HvcykTg
"Kiss me," he repeats.790Please respect copyright.PENANAdKaFX0Ok7s
790Please respect copyright.PENANAq3PX7XYg4t
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.790Please respect copyright.PENANA1eUjkJmIFl
790Please respect copyright.PENANAe2ygnWTw2e
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.790Please respect copyright.PENANAtUvsj4L7nf
790Please respect copyright.PENANAEBA8JbJ534
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.790Please respect copyright.PENANA1F1q6ITu9z
790Please respect copyright.PENANAQjiec0LVG9
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.790Please respect copyright.PENANAyuFGdHAfCp
790Please respect copyright.PENANAWRqI5n9TsU
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.790Please respect copyright.PENANAScHBAtJr0e
790Please respect copyright.PENANAwoJio3il2B
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.790Please respect copyright.PENANARB5uLDW8lN
790Please respect copyright.PENANA26LXQItnOG
Electricity races through me and lingers.790Please respect copyright.PENANAqO60WY2AGZ
790Please respect copyright.PENANAMZbpVQbuDp
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.790Please respect copyright.PENANAek7uwg8smn
790Please respect copyright.PENANADHHmJk8VUk
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.790Please respect copyright.PENANAVelADKGoci
790Please respect copyright.PENANA0iX5JjKDM6
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.790Please respect copyright.PENANALHEtbDE0R0
790Please respect copyright.PENANAP1yXoJKY3b
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.790Please respect copyright.PENANAPUfRyOEa7o
790Please respect copyright.PENANA7AV8fcH9Si
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.790Please respect copyright.PENANAvTeBEguuLf
790Please respect copyright.PENANAaVyP1qAShk
"Jeremy?"790Please respect copyright.PENANAOWVo4jeuVv
790Please respect copyright.PENANAJfmpux7c8q
I shake my head, not believing.790Please respect copyright.PENANASLz8RezuVq
790Please respect copyright.PENANApaFlsqJvxn
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"790Please respect copyright.PENANA0WYhyG0GFx
790Please respect copyright.PENANA96XBda7r9p
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.790Please respect copyright.PENANAL202x8MED0
790Please respect copyright.PENANA1fkJ12oDTA
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.790Please respect copyright.PENANAfwipFbZu8A
790Please respect copyright.PENANAN1XQOwHPVM
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 790Please respect copyright.PENANAhWEgVVreRL
