JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.713Please respect copyright.PENANALKR48La7xb
He's shaking underneath my grasp.713Please respect copyright.PENANATRMDyGxVKg
713Please respect copyright.PENANAgjQePn0pgA
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.713Please respect copyright.PENANAeJznn9Bcvn
713Please respect copyright.PENANAbn6vONe3Ps
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.713Please respect copyright.PENANABD5WFlq2Wz
713Please respect copyright.PENANABjgZxxrOJK
I smile bitterly.713Please respect copyright.PENANAly5dlzjdO4
713Please respect copyright.PENANA9TMTNZUsJK
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.713Please respect copyright.PENANAbWhoLOFQrV
713Please respect copyright.PENANAUoNCl8ngSn
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.713Please respect copyright.PENANApkAc46FJbC
713Please respect copyright.PENANABL3dD6Jujj
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.713Please respect copyright.PENANAvKPrG5ioTz
713Please respect copyright.PENANAYZpz4SOwZ0
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."713Please respect copyright.PENANA9xrJr77iTB
713Please respect copyright.PENANAoGr9cswHZ0
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.713Please respect copyright.PENANAYpBJEoGKO8
713Please respect copyright.PENANApoIuWzheR3
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.713Please respect copyright.PENANA6qqNm47B5B
713Please respect copyright.PENANA8yOgiHVyKF
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.713Please respect copyright.PENANAavgwx7eoDD
713Please respect copyright.PENANAYNA8swuV2A
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.713Please respect copyright.PENANAho8i57kEYK
713Please respect copyright.PENANAQNdhzqIPFV
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.713Please respect copyright.PENANASINIEmHvBG
713Please respect copyright.PENANAFMQCCFooLp
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.713Please respect copyright.PENANA04nKwASrXy
713Please respect copyright.PENANApIHoRWePo9
I must at all cost keep him awake.713Please respect copyright.PENANAqq6JafiXRg
713Please respect copyright.PENANAJajVQkpKW3
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"713Please respect copyright.PENANA5eIvWAdcOc
713Please respect copyright.PENANAXPKKXrz8sp
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.713Please respect copyright.PENANAcDXTfzKzLv
713Please respect copyright.PENANAyYS1wZNtMP
"Not that long baby I promise."713Please respect copyright.PENANAzG4KEZXCPf
713Please respect copyright.PENANAx4cb363BL5
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.713Please respect copyright.PENANAU5DUPyOcA0
713Please respect copyright.PENANAzpfcpFzyZa
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.713Please respect copyright.PENANALVf6BrL54k
713Please respect copyright.PENANA2n7F6mIQjN
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.713Please respect copyright.PENANA2dpHgQ2IQ7
713Please respect copyright.PENANA3o2YQVoTsG
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.713Please respect copyright.PENANALEa51NReNJ
713Please respect copyright.PENANAFIQrdngkOE
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.713Please respect copyright.PENANAmccTdpN58a
713Please respect copyright.PENANADGgS6OhYqE
I frown at him.713Please respect copyright.PENANAQALCrxtPMu
713Please respect copyright.PENANAYCdS0s6iGu
"Don't say that."713Please respect copyright.PENANAyPriBoYxKN
713Please respect copyright.PENANAzBDQgDDoov
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.713Please respect copyright.PENANA2gGhHm7rW8
713Please respect copyright.PENANAyvDECJ1LkX
I gasp.713Please respect copyright.PENANA5ltmll1IKl
713Please respect copyright.PENANAznPunXhl18
"Jere stop!"713Please respect copyright.PENANAxJatXqOEsf
713Please respect copyright.PENANA4fZWfq7Frk
He goes on.713Please respect copyright.PENANAninwpeLcbf
713Please respect copyright.PENANANZLnHBTCjp
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.713Please respect copyright.PENANAZnMCQoYP3B
713Please respect copyright.PENANAnGqjWtQT86
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.713Please respect copyright.PENANAsSdV9SfrUP
713Please respect copyright.PENANAFuVuEGp6ym
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"713Please respect copyright.PENANAiZxU9E61Gd
713Please respect copyright.PENANAxYF9KCAIZP
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.713Please respect copyright.PENANARG0ArWWUKJ
713Please respect copyright.PENANA0yCAG1OvCe
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.713Please respect copyright.PENANAdYetJNukNe
713Please respect copyright.PENANAdtFpnKS6Rb
"I won't."713Please respect copyright.PENANAOQyZarJ5mO
713Please respect copyright.PENANAK6MDP4ZiNY
He obeys, watching me soberly.713Please respect copyright.PENANAA4OtqAX1HY
713Please respect copyright.PENANAubTEiOBUDh
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.713Please respect copyright.PENANAxY5j2r7K0J
713Please respect copyright.PENANAVVXSjP6seR
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.713Please respect copyright.PENANAOpkguaLEGS
713Please respect copyright.PENANAvvTwfj8SQB
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.713Please respect copyright.PENANALUimseap2x
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.713Please respect copyright.PENANAeiqyfRE2od
713Please respect copyright.PENANAxD0ytoMSSo
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.713Please respect copyright.PENANAp8VNVlPUhL
713Please respect copyright.PENANALidN2RWWZy
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.713Please respect copyright.PENANACZrNVTjWeP
713Please respect copyright.PENANAsVHTqqe0LG
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"713Please respect copyright.PENANAGQIUk1FCe5
713Please respect copyright.PENANAhQnuJFDbPk
He tries to nod but he can't.713Please respect copyright.PENANAdqQU6WfRst
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.713Please respect copyright.PENANAbJnIDKs7fE
713Please respect copyright.PENANA6ogPRglCv3
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.713Please respect copyright.PENANAmEK5fqfzxp
713Please respect copyright.PENANAqSV76RTPAD
He looks up into mine.713Please respect copyright.PENANAA9CbIsLsAq
713Please respect copyright.PENANAuL9KjdQicV
"Don't leave me." He whispers.713Please respect copyright.PENANABGbgeLQXu6
713Please respect copyright.PENANAyEHqEN4fIS
"Stay awake." I tell him.713Please respect copyright.PENANAlXJyNy1AOr
713Please respect copyright.PENANAEFxe3D3K8J
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.713Please respect copyright.PENANAD6ekRM7tuJ
713Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Sk9voz1Q
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.713Please respect copyright.PENANAw0SgkQEerI
713Please respect copyright.PENANAD6jOmPNHrT
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"713Please respect copyright.PENANAOdGTHFVahI
713Please respect copyright.PENANAzC9tXJXmGX
He doesn't reply.713Please respect copyright.PENANAZr6M6ZMbRs
713Please respect copyright.PENANAsFoOXK9rCH
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.713Please respect copyright.PENANAxrpwjUmi9B
713Please respect copyright.PENANAY0lhYX1Wqf
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.713Please respect copyright.PENANAq1plH7WHBo
713Please respect copyright.PENANAFwZ5rMpcoh
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"713Please respect copyright.PENANAv5OsB1RW0o
713Please respect copyright.PENANAahb7H0zDIH
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.713Please respect copyright.PENANAOeHqWbINqa
713Please respect copyright.PENANATS5R5CnPs0
"Stay awake." I told him softly.713Please respect copyright.PENANAvOUTC4aVj9
713Please respect copyright.PENANAgqOLZcM9sQ
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.713Please respect copyright.PENANApr7ZAA7htk
713Please respect copyright.PENANAofC42euT51
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.713Please respect copyright.PENANA2qoAohl8Yj
713Please respect copyright.PENANAbTAZC792NL
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.713Please respect copyright.PENANA5EiNebsYId
713Please respect copyright.PENANAqWIN7piIFR
"Kiss me," he repeats.713Please respect copyright.PENANALnpyBCyVdO
713Please respect copyright.PENANAqR53ajOJ31
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.713Please respect copyright.PENANA9BPn8rHSpu
713Please respect copyright.PENANAQ41qIwtuOp
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.713Please respect copyright.PENANAuP78xqYZFc
713Please respect copyright.PENANAvffFlmGffN
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.713Please respect copyright.PENANAleJV1WOYme
713Please respect copyright.PENANAitTbXBfmGq
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.713Please respect copyright.PENANAPAQVvIsPBt
713Please respect copyright.PENANAckO2GYDIFY
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.713Please respect copyright.PENANAgl69lappqv
713Please respect copyright.PENANAmDFcICxmtt
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.713Please respect copyright.PENANAe4GG4CynPM
713Please respect copyright.PENANAq0MrRzv4S4
Electricity races through me and lingers.713Please respect copyright.PENANAVE0cB7QmNW
713Please respect copyright.PENANAqQP3B2H93N
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.713Please respect copyright.PENANAIjB1qpSq59
713Please respect copyright.PENANAk9xb7KckdO
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.713Please respect copyright.PENANAu7n2XtTiby
713Please respect copyright.PENANAHexqf1kAUY
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.713Please respect copyright.PENANA4NjYydt13p
713Please respect copyright.PENANAd6GMKiC9XO
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.713Please respect copyright.PENANAylV9XPdl08
713Please respect copyright.PENANAhomyovNmv6
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.713Please respect copyright.PENANAsmah97oeyD
713Please respect copyright.PENANAzH37yvH3ZK
"Jeremy?"713Please respect copyright.PENANAQeyImoKpod
713Please respect copyright.PENANANWaC3PIlzN
I shake my head, not believing.713Please respect copyright.PENANA4AdZqqAHAE
713Please respect copyright.PENANA6dgI3wrxyt
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"713Please respect copyright.PENANADIXmd3yim4
713Please respect copyright.PENANAqRs9uUooPr
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.713Please respect copyright.PENANAbN0w3HKssV
713Please respect copyright.PENANAKcx10WvTEy
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.713Please respect copyright.PENANAQxmQR8slMM
713Please respect copyright.PENANAEyd92rGMGs
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 713Please respect copyright.PENANAKRuw59wys2
