JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.762Please respect copyright.PENANAjxOFyCb5iG
He's shaking underneath my grasp.762Please respect copyright.PENANAg4UWBWf275
762Please respect copyright.PENANANhjqG0dGeD
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.762Please respect copyright.PENANAWwGCnWKRfK
762Please respect copyright.PENANASiAJUZ3a5p
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.PENANAsa2bJPQ3HL
762Please respect copyright.PENANAVGx5RVjIOd
I smile bitterly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAsZPRZT8HJf
762Please respect copyright.PENANAVxeDjyLL2v
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.762Please respect copyright.PENANAsoaemGJ3MU
762Please respect copyright.PENANAT0O4gLMcfw
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.762Please respect copyright.PENANAFNP2qoDp1Y
762Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZThUEMMGk
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.PENANAZxquy7XPiV
762Please respect copyright.PENANAO8hrIMx7ae
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."762Please respect copyright.PENANAyRpdXYnwc9
762Please respect copyright.PENANAGfxQ9dBTDM
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.762Please respect copyright.PENANAU4TbXj9p7k
762Please respect copyright.PENANALInUDTKtVR
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.762Please respect copyright.PENANAedbriJdvrX
762Please respect copyright.PENANAIfOWxUazY4
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.PENANAgVGeZIO4kC
762Please respect copyright.PENANAf7bWUwFvnl
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.762Please respect copyright.PENANA9JFaPPIAjZ
762Please respect copyright.PENANAQGyTZmoLBH
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.762Please respect copyright.PENANAVTTTc4mXQO
762Please respect copyright.PENANAoUUPTpSmcj
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.762Please respect copyright.PENANAF9F3HA3AuP
762Please respect copyright.PENANA9fJeZUlUw6
I must at all cost keep him awake.762Please respect copyright.PENANAGVGXYzr5Ca
762Please respect copyright.PENANA69Tygr8XSQ
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"762Please respect copyright.PENANAB9VAWQqFUg
762Please respect copyright.PENANA24DmjhkADL
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.762Please respect copyright.PENANA2RIOXy0N0I
762Please respect copyright.PENANAYWywYthOHa
"Not that long baby I promise."762Please respect copyright.PENANAqAHHI1bgu8
762Please respect copyright.PENANAOLrcXcdZQZ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.762Please respect copyright.PENANAXaqpNwZFQ8
762Please respect copyright.PENANA8yCqwuCGz4
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.762Please respect copyright.PENANAKtc2osVZpU
762Please respect copyright.PENANAkpwlFYLl8c
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.762Please respect copyright.PENANAHMszTSEAr5
762Please respect copyright.PENANAnCjPcb49Ud
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.762Please respect copyright.PENANAgtkjnSfifs
762Please respect copyright.PENANAmKzQ3pTPOp
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.762Please respect copyright.PENANAEWtRIJ6jXH
762Please respect copyright.PENANAtZlMzply2t
I frown at him.762Please respect copyright.PENANAgh1qIFxjQG
762Please respect copyright.PENANADqJpMn7lb9
"Don't say that."762Please respect copyright.PENANA6HU8WantAv
762Please respect copyright.PENANAp5tdhWTtRY
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.762Please respect copyright.PENANAC5ti039Tre
762Please respect copyright.PENANAflxspgOHZ9
I gasp.762Please respect copyright.PENANAss78YhZF7z
762Please respect copyright.PENANApuhBZchkzw
"Jere stop!"762Please respect copyright.PENANATerXfkC41R
762Please respect copyright.PENANAJaTAyWyI2n
He goes on.762Please respect copyright.PENANA4zLYerBeeo
762Please respect copyright.PENANAAk5zdVtUkn
"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.PENANAtnGvrkIi07
762Please respect copyright.PENANAKgN4LLYvL5
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.762Please respect copyright.PENANA8JkpeFh1f3
762Please respect copyright.PENANARlh2UX1BUt
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"762Please respect copyright.PENANAWD9hvkq1hM
762Please respect copyright.PENANAiNBdngGxfn
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.PENANA4wLn3QFQC4
762Please respect copyright.PENANAvs5e1mhEke
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAOM9z1TN9iT
762Please respect copyright.PENANAbjKL4kKXCJ
"I won't."762Please respect copyright.PENANAeKWtONoLWX
762Please respect copyright.PENANAbFi7Oa1Aw3
He obeys, watching me soberly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAgU0PCbloAN
762Please respect copyright.PENANA2NR5suDGIc
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.762Please respect copyright.PENANA29vfUxXH69
762Please respect copyright.PENANA03FSJC9xSn
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.762Please respect copyright.PENANAJE6fTXN3tt
762Please respect copyright.PENANARbMcHnZGi0
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.762Please respect copyright.PENANAEHEbtAAge4
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.762Please respect copyright.PENANARrzzaRgIqi
762Please respect copyright.PENANAIJgiFuGDVG
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.762Please respect copyright.PENANAdVzhm9TZBb
762Please respect copyright.PENANARexKcBhRmb
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.762Please respect copyright.PENANAkeqqpPlIpU
762Please respect copyright.PENANA336gVeMoCS
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"762Please respect copyright.PENANANz7EavABpr
762Please respect copyright.PENANA5nYxymKMK6
He tries to nod but he can't.762Please respect copyright.PENANAvFyvOd7SJ2
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.762Please respect copyright.PENANAD5IshtEmZy
762Please respect copyright.PENANAplnyXd756Q
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.762Please respect copyright.PENANAQBQDF96IhH
762Please respect copyright.PENANAtgMePx3duq
He looks up into mine.762Please respect copyright.PENANAcfDMF1y6bF
762Please respect copyright.PENANA85XkMNBmZQ
"Don't leave me." He whispers.762Please respect copyright.PENANAtPtYz5yyiS
762Please respect copyright.PENANA9gwkvsBk98
"Stay awake." I tell him.762Please respect copyright.PENANALnxdQ2CjRN
762Please respect copyright.PENANAN4NyrtRCgQ
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.762Please respect copyright.PENANAlnCGrcu1Ce
762Please respect copyright.PENANAIUBGcUnuDF
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.762Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ZzbzISym
762Please respect copyright.PENANA8fyfsLoJ1v
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"762Please respect copyright.PENANAVuRK49f0V9
762Please respect copyright.PENANAIfv85Dvmdj
He doesn't reply.762Please respect copyright.PENANABpzANkmHUm
762Please respect copyright.PENANAgcnM9Js6yR
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.762Please respect copyright.PENANAV27K4zdjh3
762Please respect copyright.PENANADRHLKuACzi
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.PENANAkEN0nRaFef
762Please respect copyright.PENANA7h6HYFkcMB
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"762Please respect copyright.PENANApi4UycVLSk
762Please respect copyright.PENANAamM8vb0xjl
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.PENANAKRb2kJ7jIq
762Please respect copyright.PENANAK6Afz61IJw
"Stay awake." I told him softly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAdyzx76zH7b
762Please respect copyright.PENANARGE4oCiOl9
"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.PENANAuBCy6VLOC5
762Please respect copyright.PENANA1iaeYIp1IP
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.762Please respect copyright.PENANAnaCzNDHpu1
762Please respect copyright.PENANABJWSJWsgEs
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.762Please respect copyright.PENANAIGAeLCUUou
762Please respect copyright.PENANAHk0Hp3DiiX
"Kiss me," he repeats.762Please respect copyright.PENANAivhzlAP1rn
762Please respect copyright.PENANAaqsqp6H8Ji
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.762Please respect copyright.PENANAvwcxkWRkxq
762Please respect copyright.PENANALqzasybO4R
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.762Please respect copyright.PENANAIlrfLfhNTh
762Please respect copyright.PENANANLL8mHDBd9
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.762Please respect copyright.PENANA3KmIqBBkx0
762Please respect copyright.PENANAQoklYKlgZR
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.762Please respect copyright.PENANA3n4HY8S54Y
762Please respect copyright.PENANAW5qhgdA57V
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.762Please respect copyright.PENANAGoSSJdYiiX
762Please respect copyright.PENANAODDkU6YzsI
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.762Please respect copyright.PENANArAuUvLLgM7
762Please respect copyright.PENANAucpiG3UjHW
Electricity races through me and lingers.762Please respect copyright.PENANAZea0WctDGk
762Please respect copyright.PENANAM4WZtI51PO
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.762Please respect copyright.PENANA5QBXamgFJE
762Please respect copyright.PENANAJKPxW0x0Lk
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.762Please respect copyright.PENANA7mPJ0yfcFc
762Please respect copyright.PENANAwZjMPtCeGb
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.762Please respect copyright.PENANAFluNEZ2HHZ
762Please respect copyright.PENANAJFetA5Pctr
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.762Please respect copyright.PENANA2xivDWbF0D
762Please respect copyright.PENANAhBtzVJvbbc
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.762Please respect copyright.PENANAvRIMh7z88U
762Please respect copyright.PENANAB5boDISI9q
"Jeremy?"762Please respect copyright.PENANAFzLdzgyWCd
762Please respect copyright.PENANAzV87eYaC7E
I shake my head, not believing.762Please respect copyright.PENANAYA9bxdGVat
762Please respect copyright.PENANAqJxXfTPTNb
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"762Please respect copyright.PENANAqWJlslCLhS
762Please respect copyright.PENANAaZao3QkZfN
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.762Please respect copyright.PENANATJQyk9ERWr
762Please respect copyright.PENANAlcQUupR35K
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.PENANA4cAeiJhcBY
762Please respect copyright.PENANAPvcOw0e4Vl
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 762Please respect copyright.PENANAUlQGsWU21m
