JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.942Please respect copyright.PENANAes0HXDgl8s
He's shaking underneath my grasp.942Please respect copyright.PENANAvubyK10YbD
942Please respect copyright.PENANAYvp6bAkQ2o
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.942Please respect copyright.PENANAiBYNSrhRxR
942Please respect copyright.PENANAl0zANocJPa
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.942Please respect copyright.PENANAD8niBA52eD
942Please respect copyright.PENANAyseGbk8PQp
I smile bitterly.942Please respect copyright.PENANAohGoODcENX
942Please respect copyright.PENANAETw2OkjNcF
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.942Please respect copyright.PENANArdlSBxM5ro
942Please respect copyright.PENANA3SIxCWGvjH
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.942Please respect copyright.PENANAKtVEoyhYGe
942Please respect copyright.PENANASkOh2W9yTJ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.942Please respect copyright.PENANA4SWUAvgyou
942Please respect copyright.PENANACANWhjsnAh
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."942Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uda33atAl
942Please respect copyright.PENANAAQO42DDqzD
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.942Please respect copyright.PENANAHUKNMBcQSk
942Please respect copyright.PENANAXiqU3y0AZz
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.942Please respect copyright.PENANAU4HU6vjBfA
942Please respect copyright.PENANAFS6gHgX4Ca
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.942Please respect copyright.PENANAuNvCCe7Gjp
942Please respect copyright.PENANAde9lS1u1xh
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.942Please respect copyright.PENANApIvPWhslna
942Please respect copyright.PENANA2Td9trzyvw
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.942Please respect copyright.PENANAEH2m87n02M
942Please respect copyright.PENANAIjvk3T1bk9
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.942Please respect copyright.PENANAKAkZIBttcM
942Please respect copyright.PENANAnFQSCsj22a
I must at all cost keep him awake.942Please respect copyright.PENANApSJagl7LE0
942Please respect copyright.PENANA8zzNZkclU5
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"942Please respect copyright.PENANAx6kp8Pk75W
942Please respect copyright.PENANAh83waPkL7J
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.942Please respect copyright.PENANARocsr28lbF
942Please respect copyright.PENANAFr49sq9vvo
"Not that long baby I promise."942Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ewE3AOs5
942Please respect copyright.PENANAVpQlE2lkET
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.942Please respect copyright.PENANALhXKKsmPkO
942Please respect copyright.PENANAzse6fs3uy9
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.942Please respect copyright.PENANAwFc1SEu0C9
942Please respect copyright.PENANA2EPJSTMdjh
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.942Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zv4bWp4Bn
942Please respect copyright.PENANAbAcV63wfbD
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.942Please respect copyright.PENANACf5acixPgh
942Please respect copyright.PENANAbJvvidozLw
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.942Please respect copyright.PENANAUIQEZbIsgu
942Please respect copyright.PENANAKkZcNRc436
I frown at him.942Please respect copyright.PENANAjXumDcbU4t
942Please respect copyright.PENANABlNdR0bOYC
"Don't say that."942Please respect copyright.PENANA4MuvIu0yEu
942Please respect copyright.PENANAwZtlBa9AJq
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.942Please respect copyright.PENANA1UuUvMIL9z
942Please respect copyright.PENANAAC1IYNGNSN
I gasp.942Please respect copyright.PENANAIM7KfWnuPw
942Please respect copyright.PENANAFUhIrUH23l
"Jere stop!"942Please respect copyright.PENANAINDETOC1mP
942Please respect copyright.PENANAXXC8SC8kUd
He goes on.942Please respect copyright.PENANA8K5B8kttIx
942Please respect copyright.PENANA9rhgULgTnR
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.942Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Q02I662r
942Please respect copyright.PENANAZ44rgmagev
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.942Please respect copyright.PENANAtg4LJOkuXu
942Please respect copyright.PENANA6C4jRkwVqj
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"942Please respect copyright.PENANAsvfCSeMsYY
942Please respect copyright.PENANA9h5EKvel1P
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.942Please respect copyright.PENANAMYdvQPlPeT
942Please respect copyright.PENANA58RvrYHwX0
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.942Please respect copyright.PENANAdRukDd9Bju
942Please respect copyright.PENANABjJWDW1NXE
"I won't."942Please respect copyright.PENANA0AZuxu9bw8
942Please respect copyright.PENANAFO7DHWvJXJ
He obeys, watching me soberly.942Please respect copyright.PENANARJeranK9N2
942Please respect copyright.PENANA2uCOXVNCSA
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.942Please respect copyright.PENANAEm0ETSlcve
942Please respect copyright.PENANAFmKu7iEIKO
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.942Please respect copyright.PENANAoiJ1w8kly8
942Please respect copyright.PENANAmSmGuG1wNQ
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.942Please respect copyright.PENANA3FMXRy8ert
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.942Please respect copyright.PENANAKfEnUk2wJV
942Please respect copyright.PENANAC6dpVFO6kC
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.942Please respect copyright.PENANAt5u5oQlPhA
942Please respect copyright.PENANAfpBu8Syz0o
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.942Please respect copyright.PENANARbAOzW0F0F
942Please respect copyright.PENANAA4cHkaocFv
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"942Please respect copyright.PENANAn7ucCtL4ap
942Please respect copyright.PENANArRUYPsWkHi
He tries to nod but he can't.942Please respect copyright.PENANANnmj9mLqZV
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.942Please respect copyright.PENANAWCBKriBkO7
942Please respect copyright.PENANAnlDsVl7JKA
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.942Please respect copyright.PENANAyi8OlsG2D8
942Please respect copyright.PENANAYzE35aHp32
He looks up into mine.942Please respect copyright.PENANAwY8mf8QwrI
942Please respect copyright.PENANACpmpXb8Iq0
"Don't leave me." He whispers.942Please respect copyright.PENANABqMOwprgXr
942Please respect copyright.PENANArlnSC09LJr
"Stay awake." I tell him.942Please respect copyright.PENANATbOkbEcsNZ
942Please respect copyright.PENANApa9mndlhYu
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.942Please respect copyright.PENANAAwahEhahpp
942Please respect copyright.PENANAqz7GfX3MCZ
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.942Please respect copyright.PENANAntlt8CayEh
942Please respect copyright.PENANAcCKVmHk3O1
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"942Please respect copyright.PENANAxYitfUFcS3
942Please respect copyright.PENANAiqjnrsfMdS
He doesn't reply.942Please respect copyright.PENANAPjJj53dD2e
942Please respect copyright.PENANAVhS2i6wqxT
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.942Please respect copyright.PENANAYFcz03hwiv
942Please respect copyright.PENANAsqOQZw6SiX
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.942Please respect copyright.PENANAINhyy5Mohr
942Please respect copyright.PENANAB9lwdejzUr
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"942Please respect copyright.PENANA4tiiq6Sj8P
942Please respect copyright.PENANAAMpEhKXZQV
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.942Please respect copyright.PENANAay8ZfSt9tS
942Please respect copyright.PENANABvqYuc0AoJ
"Stay awake." I told him softly.942Please respect copyright.PENANAq6WsQLkrYh
942Please respect copyright.PENANAYrOvEbxsEz
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.942Please respect copyright.PENANANzvnUpVczh
942Please respect copyright.PENANARUEB1VDv6w
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.942Please respect copyright.PENANAMQBhG424nT
942Please respect copyright.PENANAdbWA4tzsKM
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.942Please respect copyright.PENANAJl6cYBT3ZO
942Please respect copyright.PENANAhlx5fLG3TT
"Kiss me," he repeats.942Please respect copyright.PENANATnAuT8Ll5w
942Please respect copyright.PENANAkIVlqyhUrR
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.942Please respect copyright.PENANAc7g9RdTs4f
942Please respect copyright.PENANAHwHxsWU9vj
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.942Please respect copyright.PENANAD6IYGe19Gd
942Please respect copyright.PENANAeP06UyvIve
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.942Please respect copyright.PENANAPBkJw36SoO
942Please respect copyright.PENANAzXsZB9speP
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.942Please respect copyright.PENANA1OpNtso2Rf
942Please respect copyright.PENANAD1RVHfRZxE
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.942Please respect copyright.PENANAI129L4W5W9
942Please respect copyright.PENANANx8vbw90JT
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.942Please respect copyright.PENANAxdTjMkrucr
942Please respect copyright.PENANAFVe363JpwS
Electricity races through me and lingers.942Please respect copyright.PENANAYr5f10s2Dr
942Please respect copyright.PENANA5PvEV2ULhc
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.942Please respect copyright.PENANAkFfuRqyaNW
942Please respect copyright.PENANAFy4lSR877R
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.942Please respect copyright.PENANAs5BDtnvMig
942Please respect copyright.PENANANQXTLKeyuF
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.942Please respect copyright.PENANAlkCTWE8Axl
942Please respect copyright.PENANAEprnrfNe8m
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.942Please respect copyright.PENANAfVRtQFItHK
942Please respect copyright.PENANARBfEBlY4uH
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.942Please respect copyright.PENANAY7moi70vcr
942Please respect copyright.PENANAmmExxfdTEA
"Jeremy?"942Please respect copyright.PENANAjTeO9nTxtl
942Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZACz382Vw
I shake my head, not believing.942Please respect copyright.PENANAtQwN8q4Q0p
942Please respect copyright.PENANAsGb8gOng4k
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"942Please respect copyright.PENANACN05eXV82D
942Please respect copyright.PENANANOSfpUz67p
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.942Please respect copyright.PENANAHGVLgsTr7X
942Please respect copyright.PENANAgR8RtF1ptE
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.942Please respect copyright.PENANAf8q1NQFIO2
942Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bs29oaipA
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 942Please respect copyright.PENANAkMorYOevoF
