JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.723Please respect copyright.PENANAhpWIxQIEat
He's shaking underneath my grasp.723Please respect copyright.PENANASX9KaeUrpe
723Please respect copyright.PENANAMXyOhSXf4L
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.723Please respect copyright.PENANAbrKDz3Rx7k
723Please respect copyright.PENANAsnSXEMzCsc
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.723Please respect copyright.PENANAWI5ZMyJow8
723Please respect copyright.PENANAVwLBlMWBRg
I smile bitterly.723Please respect copyright.PENANAfLkFkrsGMF
723Please respect copyright.PENANAyY8PbyqY8b
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.723Please respect copyright.PENANApVP2jMoSRn
723Please respect copyright.PENANAY2dQt7m1Me
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.723Please respect copyright.PENANAgXm08H39Le
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkwNBVGRRh1
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.723Please respect copyright.PENANArGdsCMgccL
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkDA4UZHwph
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."723Please respect copyright.PENANAfNT1yurTeQ
723Please respect copyright.PENANAOejzcmY3tB
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.723Please respect copyright.PENANAbIcrgM711m
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkptDGI1bvw
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.723Please respect copyright.PENANAeuKXnykhxE
723Please respect copyright.PENANAtrGZdyJ352
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.723Please respect copyright.PENANAeoU1PQUdqN
723Please respect copyright.PENANAxqN2EQc91V
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.723Please respect copyright.PENANAbXAYKRDV6X
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkMTYb5fOY7
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.723Please respect copyright.PENANAL3woZ9f2Uu
723Please respect copyright.PENANAjMw5B1una7
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.723Please respect copyright.PENANA2pc6liasaS
723Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ZZCQ51G6
I must at all cost keep him awake.723Please respect copyright.PENANAOzHLI3ZB69
723Please respect copyright.PENANAAKc7hPlOwx
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAxz5tFmxkcH
723Please respect copyright.PENANA567v33uLBS
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.723Please respect copyright.PENANARO1luSkURZ
723Please respect copyright.PENANA9rxDM1kfUv
"Not that long baby I promise."723Please respect copyright.PENANAwPnucVXV2S
723Please respect copyright.PENANA99ZXSwG0Kj
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.723Please respect copyright.PENANAVIrVYWhp1k
723Please respect copyright.PENANAWuwxmxNlVj
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.723Please respect copyright.PENANA2OamUmOnh7
723Please respect copyright.PENANAGe5HNpkmZf
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.723Please respect copyright.PENANAzTnRKteEiY
723Please respect copyright.PENANAmAJ2KKdhqp
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.723Please respect copyright.PENANAR9X4RPqVET
723Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZE2VmEI5k
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.723Please respect copyright.PENANAyTzNYkjmAt
723Please respect copyright.PENANAqQUN5wZhw4
I frown at him.723Please respect copyright.PENANACLmOVYPmUV
723Please respect copyright.PENANAX0zi2tp9kg
"Don't say that."723Please respect copyright.PENANAw839ELe4jH
723Please respect copyright.PENANA9V0MdmdWeO
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.723Please respect copyright.PENANAUvCToyIb9d
723Please respect copyright.PENANAOGFmIyXChS
I gasp.723Please respect copyright.PENANA6D6eD1xF1D
723Please respect copyright.PENANAZIyJLRAHSq
"Jere stop!"723Please respect copyright.PENANA5FDlu4g38Y
723Please respect copyright.PENANA189lEIIIW2
He goes on.723Please respect copyright.PENANADW9ykV06ze
723Please respect copyright.PENANAyjnKrAVbnL
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.723Please respect copyright.PENANAWsbFpZAsST
723Please respect copyright.PENANAOu5oEClf63
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.723Please respect copyright.PENANAD4J6p1bPfc
723Please respect copyright.PENANAvqKrR6mPWo
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"723Please respect copyright.PENANAZN3KKOxrXM
723Please respect copyright.PENANAfMUBxNX7Kp
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.723Please respect copyright.PENANAVcp5zVLbeY
723Please respect copyright.PENANAmIKMByT4to
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.723Please respect copyright.PENANAwiMQohJrsn
723Please respect copyright.PENANAQKNGGGjcoc
"I won't."723Please respect copyright.PENANABjXwmnsMAV
723Please respect copyright.PENANAY5UVyKgioq
He obeys, watching me soberly.723Please respect copyright.PENANAdpqaWjKI7a
723Please respect copyright.PENANAK6XlHGM7WA
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.723Please respect copyright.PENANAzc65kVXwyX
723Please respect copyright.PENANAUIQtw5CzJR
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.723Please respect copyright.PENANAtvxE8YMSPq
723Please respect copyright.PENANAwWXAxeyJYb
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.723Please respect copyright.PENANAcSOXKwH2qA
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.723Please respect copyright.PENANA6YBgsN6nOy
723Please respect copyright.PENANAIL8jxiHpev
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.723Please respect copyright.PENANAjDhUMu0Ykl
723Please respect copyright.PENANAbzwzjnCIpY
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.723Please respect copyright.PENANAplfLIK62XZ
723Please respect copyright.PENANApnoiL64Uzn
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"723Please respect copyright.PENANA7BOjxw4dOb
723Please respect copyright.PENANAsZwBzYPIxO
He tries to nod but he can't.723Please respect copyright.PENANAHX7gdxd0uW
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.723Please respect copyright.PENANACXAeDjwxFD
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0VH6IOP6Dc
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.723Please respect copyright.PENANAb2zJkKV9tO
723Please respect copyright.PENANAf67BkEQrao
He looks up into mine.723Please respect copyright.PENANAfkTFnDXtht
723Please respect copyright.PENANAQX6Vc2FxkO
"Don't leave me." He whispers.723Please respect copyright.PENANAhLRRLpR6S4
723Please respect copyright.PENANAyNd78Oiple
"Stay awake." I tell him.723Please respect copyright.PENANAxrrq0vhtmV
723Please respect copyright.PENANAB4YNzu7548
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.723Please respect copyright.PENANAt5icvs0nQt
723Please respect copyright.PENANABLRPnFGMPk
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.723Please respect copyright.PENANAztvC6jvksP
723Please respect copyright.PENANAxCK5z85bzg
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"723Please respect copyright.PENANA5BR2atrIGM
723Please respect copyright.PENANAo7Sj4capHo
He doesn't reply.723Please respect copyright.PENANAU9X8InPUAL
723Please respect copyright.PENANAzgc7DKg9s0
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.723Please respect copyright.PENANAnNAXw011XE
723Please respect copyright.PENANA5lS9Kw4yGJ
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.723Please respect copyright.PENANAWrJNKrfusJ
723Please respect copyright.PENANAyX9CkYoxwx
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"723Please respect copyright.PENANAs8syApakgf
723Please respect copyright.PENANA1XGwrnjDsn
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.723Please respect copyright.PENANAkaGGI9XF5i
723Please respect copyright.PENANAQXM90jtIcL
"Stay awake." I told him softly.723Please respect copyright.PENANAOtn9Fp7xKA
723Please respect copyright.PENANAsag2drICVZ
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.723Please respect copyright.PENANADBZPWi2OJQ
723Please respect copyright.PENANAFPoRNLVp1n
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.723Please respect copyright.PENANAt78yVAlzud
723Please respect copyright.PENANAEpWYuGL7Pk
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.723Please respect copyright.PENANAQujwnWptyF
723Please respect copyright.PENANAZg72Bhjmwb
"Kiss me," he repeats.723Please respect copyright.PENANAdq4gehciFX
723Please respect copyright.PENANA3A7Yv77JMI
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.723Please respect copyright.PENANAlkOIPnANoQ
723Please respect copyright.PENANA4XQb9sXfGH
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.723Please respect copyright.PENANAAsJmnuYgH9
723Please respect copyright.PENANAjqxR6LlBmF
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.723Please respect copyright.PENANAa3lGkyYFUB
723Please respect copyright.PENANA75UerseBFO
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.723Please respect copyright.PENANAh5xGMZMGtN
723Please respect copyright.PENANA6whpTSDVsA
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.723Please respect copyright.PENANASRpOPH1A4a
723Please respect copyright.PENANAvcccdGYknS
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.723Please respect copyright.PENANAs7sk0NKNKZ
723Please respect copyright.PENANAJCWRTNOjRJ
Electricity races through me and lingers.723Please respect copyright.PENANA0pa4yLy1s4
723Please respect copyright.PENANAr3rwlUgQT2
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.723Please respect copyright.PENANAwiWaTFfX6v
723Please respect copyright.PENANAvi9orDYl0J
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.723Please respect copyright.PENANAVU1cM620gS
723Please respect copyright.PENANAocs7QDzEsx
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.723Please respect copyright.PENANAIqxIsq4Zr9
723Please respect copyright.PENANATe1Q9x5Hj1
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.723Please respect copyright.PENANA2G65SKvsNh
723Please respect copyright.PENANA5h1249pucP
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.723Please respect copyright.PENANAv2GYTZZLwX
723Please respect copyright.PENANA9tgpRnzebW
"Jeremy?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAQL5yHOKffC
723Please respect copyright.PENANARA7fZPmpYS
I shake my head, not believing.723Please respect copyright.PENANAqb7NzWHYNH
723Please respect copyright.PENANAm6c3YY3oOd
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"723Please respect copyright.PENANAf4YTjg2PN1
723Please respect copyright.PENANA1jBW93SDRi
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.723Please respect copyright.PENANAsN8rLYkEEx
723Please respect copyright.PENANAe7tqogRqre
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.723Please respect copyright.PENANAGndQRJZXqX
723Please respect copyright.PENANAUCm38VIo5Z
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 723Please respect copyright.PENANAuelzNvQr5w
