JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.943Please respect copyright.PENANAClcQCEyWHi
He's shaking underneath my grasp.943Please respect copyright.PENANABR9r8R5OuL
943Please respect copyright.PENANAeI325tbJrM
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.943Please respect copyright.PENANAg0VD54cwT2
943Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2ObSlDhnD
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.943Please respect copyright.PENANALtLgH5jMF3
943Please respect copyright.PENANAR8qJNuQqGm
I smile bitterly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgyVc7wW2SW
943Please respect copyright.PENANAFpcieC4kOD
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.943Please respect copyright.PENANALgtrpusPch
943Please respect copyright.PENANALYOQT37t9n
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.943Please respect copyright.PENANA5W5MzvAQBb
943Please respect copyright.PENANAea6BMEupgT
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.943Please respect copyright.PENANAKM9CQYPofi
943Please respect copyright.PENANA6aqB2vlErH
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."943Please respect copyright.PENANAqaSW6T06uf
943Please respect copyright.PENANAkztnvuuuGw
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGsA8YtvUku
943Please respect copyright.PENANA4yjrZZ3lCH
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.943Please respect copyright.PENANAySxig3Rc0c
943Please respect copyright.PENANATCweJX01Yy
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.943Please respect copyright.PENANATZ2x3iIRIF
943Please respect copyright.PENANA7vvrGjDgBd
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.943Please respect copyright.PENANAu8v1dQ9y3f
943Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ6b53btu1
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.943Please respect copyright.PENANAfaVUBIF1NP
943Please respect copyright.PENANAm2007tiIAp
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.943Please respect copyright.PENANAEVRQ2K6zgn
943Please respect copyright.PENANAO5lM1L8uF0
I must at all cost keep him awake.943Please respect copyright.PENANAgJTyneD1Ll
943Please respect copyright.PENANAQxb2bUf8Z4
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA73TUEqdONM
943Please respect copyright.PENANAyxyJxiJLju
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.943Please respect copyright.PENANARLsyUDcWTS
943Please respect copyright.PENANArAOUazUTs4
"Not that long baby I promise."943Please respect copyright.PENANARRcVY95fcd
943Please respect copyright.PENANA3ps4Dw8YFs
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.943Please respect copyright.PENANAIRx0QMBnsB
943Please respect copyright.PENANAa9DAYAHrn5
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.943Please respect copyright.PENANANvzeLZtJiJ
943Please respect copyright.PENANA2vVpszURyH
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.943Please respect copyright.PENANAVkPaBcGnuC
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ac6iSOiI
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.943Please respect copyright.PENANAquiFKHu2Dj
943Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pl2aHyCk6
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.943Please respect copyright.PENANAen08JjyagG
943Please respect copyright.PENANALpOU6JhXr9
I frown at him.943Please respect copyright.PENANANRMp57dwEJ
943Please respect copyright.PENANA6gBKPIMJ7K
"Don't say that."943Please respect copyright.PENANA8APjwCsX0V
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMC8m2YCWrz
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.943Please respect copyright.PENANA79YHZypKsC
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMNHszkA7a7
I gasp.943Please respect copyright.PENANA63HOpozZKo
943Please respect copyright.PENANA6M3GmCJ8p4
"Jere stop!"943Please respect copyright.PENANAs52MKYo19q
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZbyFHnVTyu
He goes on.943Please respect copyright.PENANAhztyN5YyvN
943Please respect copyright.PENANAlVJnvByJBz
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMKviX14maB
943Please respect copyright.PENANATZydCsrQcG
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAoWVf00Shos
943Please respect copyright.PENANArvr1gH21q6
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"943Please respect copyright.PENANApnwod80cfy
943Please respect copyright.PENANAhmr50E94ez
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQSUaVafyFz
943Please respect copyright.PENANArAiY2L9yCR
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.943Please respect copyright.PENANArumibqgQbr
943Please respect copyright.PENANArMAAkfcmQT
"I won't."943Please respect copyright.PENANA47nKeXJjL4
943Please respect copyright.PENANAhkRSRXxcvq
He obeys, watching me soberly.943Please respect copyright.PENANA9cTeCbnlGT
943Please respect copyright.PENANAR1i6EmrcBY
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.943Please respect copyright.PENANAx2LIntjKlO
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMoAKWnrvle
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.943Please respect copyright.PENANA7gBhSQMufX
943Please respect copyright.PENANA7fD80yddEd
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.943Please respect copyright.PENANA2GXJe9kRZb
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzlMNfzp4k9
943Please respect copyright.PENANA1e5MXNm9SQ
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.943Please respect copyright.PENANA35gP7vY8oZ
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZR3SxEdFH6
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.943Please respect copyright.PENANA8gWcEkvAWo
943Please respect copyright.PENANABDPdB7eLjw
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"943Please respect copyright.PENANA82xbTkcgG5
943Please respect copyright.PENANAgOXdfEekkQ
He tries to nod but he can't.943Please respect copyright.PENANACaNCeTYYOX
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.943Please respect copyright.PENANA0EHOrxJBYE
943Please respect copyright.PENANAVCt37IsSAf
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.943Please respect copyright.PENANAV45Vp4zwlr
943Please respect copyright.PENANA48Pq9xW358
He looks up into mine.943Please respect copyright.PENANAdBNDjpfqQH
943Please respect copyright.PENANAipxwIvInz4
"Don't leave me." He whispers.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGqMWzeuRk9
943Please respect copyright.PENANAUIyiOAoYBf
"Stay awake." I tell him.943Please respect copyright.PENANAGFtt1XHgeB
943Please respect copyright.PENANAbQWQxhuTaI
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.943Please respect copyright.PENANA1QLQYTWUmK
943Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ8QVdmpHf
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.943Please respect copyright.PENANAleEOFeGRqe
943Please respect copyright.PENANA9gRQrqpYsM
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAWlo8e0sQDh
943Please respect copyright.PENANA7pY1jJAvY5
He doesn't reply.943Please respect copyright.PENANAjCAGKtHsPo
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZ37PwraTmo
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.943Please respect copyright.PENANAu94b1wIKO6
943Please respect copyright.PENANAe4hYyLxxaz
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.943Please respect copyright.PENANAc6WkoSvNXf
943Please respect copyright.PENANABiuJpVVyyL
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"943Please respect copyright.PENANABXCLug4fqa
943Please respect copyright.PENANAodVLYwmmAL
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOyypw0zu66
943Please respect copyright.PENANAod5t3ht6lc
"Stay awake." I told him softly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAT5mxooe0Ul
943Please respect copyright.PENANABZePc6KAlo
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.943Please respect copyright.PENANAZBahhaxhRM
943Please respect copyright.PENANAlte8rGhqbs
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.943Please respect copyright.PENANAqaVIQFxzoY
943Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ai8wSAOr1
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.943Please respect copyright.PENANADcPcqevbP7
943Please respect copyright.PENANAoG2IVdZTmg
"Kiss me," he repeats.943Please respect copyright.PENANAotMCWzNJMY
943Please respect copyright.PENANAfGLSjHwNAZ
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQYLKBSrQ2I
943Please respect copyright.PENANAzNQddL3GQX
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.943Please respect copyright.PENANAzKva28i3qi
943Please respect copyright.PENANAZFOMHFH8YR
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.943Please respect copyright.PENANAs5ejYE6X2t
943Please respect copyright.PENANAxXEX6EKQU2
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.943Please respect copyright.PENANAMuw9grHaJo
943Please respect copyright.PENANAb2l4bNl6dn
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.943Please respect copyright.PENANAboW3pwC6D6
943Please respect copyright.PENANAx4KuLnR6yO
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.943Please respect copyright.PENANAlMu6dqlGus
943Please respect copyright.PENANAP3gydLaAzN
Electricity races through me and lingers.943Please respect copyright.PENANAwUR7YObWTT
943Please respect copyright.PENANAdrSaDOLIMk
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.943Please respect copyright.PENANAAzfqtpPJ9f
943Please respect copyright.PENANAlrsP0pRqDH
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQe1VnZpQee
943Please respect copyright.PENANAdeUcCoetGB
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.943Please respect copyright.PENANARDCR3mpZHG
943Please respect copyright.PENANAs7sxTlhvLk
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.943Please respect copyright.PENANAO6dDZQco6x
943Please respect copyright.PENANA75pBoe0EAP
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.943Please respect copyright.PENANAXwgg92tLZT
943Please respect copyright.PENANA5gTKRWQ6JJ
"Jeremy?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAAw4bu7NCil
943Please respect copyright.PENANAq3oV2MeTr5
I shake my head, not believing.943Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3ULiqPnpW
943Please respect copyright.PENANA4cnq042iSp
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"943Please respect copyright.PENANAv9NnseVoin
943Please respect copyright.PENANA8JuEF2ZFHi
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.943Please respect copyright.PENANAJiAjjyNuLe
943Please respect copyright.PENANAADYfmGdVEl
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.943Please respect copyright.PENANAOTjsVHziB7
943Please respect copyright.PENANAr9ZhXugrAP
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 943Please respect copyright.PENANAEmt86OLlUc
