JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.699Please respect copyright.PENANAovRQbLxVUd
He's shaking underneath my grasp.699Please respect copyright.PENANA4jxE1qdFXb
699Please respect copyright.PENANAh7LPZVvMRX
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.699Please respect copyright.PENANAjjfLUnyFyJ
699Please respect copyright.PENANARNnS07F14e
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.699Please respect copyright.PENANAtswku6IFkF
699Please respect copyright.PENANA0OSn2k44pD
I smile bitterly.699Please respect copyright.PENANALjgkRmF3SH
699Please respect copyright.PENANAF0Dyg2PMQW
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.699Please respect copyright.PENANA1lHD8YEP4E
699Please respect copyright.PENANAb4cwTAxlLZ
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.699Please respect copyright.PENANACypeWdRBrc
699Please respect copyright.PENANACwzA1uY1WP
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.699Please respect copyright.PENANA5jAKZU8Tfq
699Please respect copyright.PENANAPf0M9zWusw
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."699Please respect copyright.PENANAhpTfTFTU42
699Please respect copyright.PENANAIA90ownohc
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.699Please respect copyright.PENANAaCK1vybE3M
699Please respect copyright.PENANAOmfXGV77O3
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.699Please respect copyright.PENANAmvmDQWrjUy
699Please respect copyright.PENANADYjUPY2TXQ
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.699Please respect copyright.PENANAwEq8qDsj5h
699Please respect copyright.PENANAiSNVTKRBXe
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.699Please respect copyright.PENANAbnCA9AJKXh
699Please respect copyright.PENANAgeFszHBQmn
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.699Please respect copyright.PENANAXh64QWLbaK
699Please respect copyright.PENANA0xvlpz9lqC
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.699Please respect copyright.PENANAUgL1R5gheJ
699Please respect copyright.PENANAoBtzuh7JHA
I must at all cost keep him awake.699Please respect copyright.PENANAuYAuPNc0la
699Please respect copyright.PENANAJVC63bVEhF
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"699Please respect copyright.PENANA0wFy8L1Rkz
699Please respect copyright.PENANAyvrI4CZwpY
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.699Please respect copyright.PENANAXsDoBub8dG
699Please respect copyright.PENANA8xKfZAWeOK
"Not that long baby I promise."699Please respect copyright.PENANAtRoVf4HiZi
699Please respect copyright.PENANADWU88EeHsT
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.699Please respect copyright.PENANApFRbouwM18
699Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0c79NYAg1
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.699Please respect copyright.PENANAUwlxB1Yr7D
699Please respect copyright.PENANAu7k7B4gskw
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.699Please respect copyright.PENANABhvrfKoIVz
699Please respect copyright.PENANAgTzBq5tn54
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.699Please respect copyright.PENANAC3ocM1Blbf
699Please respect copyright.PENANAkToHcx9jl1
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.699Please respect copyright.PENANAsd8bJT0mdF
699Please respect copyright.PENANAMVa6TAP4Xe
I frown at him.699Please respect copyright.PENANARkHbkN3bNZ
699Please respect copyright.PENANAipdC9Fi56y
"Don't say that."699Please respect copyright.PENANATXRGTOusdv
699Please respect copyright.PENANAWPQrcyhLiy
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.699Please respect copyright.PENANAgVUL469p8t
699Please respect copyright.PENANAOe0Jj7n2Em
I gasp.699Please respect copyright.PENANADXXnHFTpMO
699Please respect copyright.PENANAo8EOCd6nwj
"Jere stop!"699Please respect copyright.PENANADK0fqNnyho
699Please respect copyright.PENANApFrTPb7iNq
He goes on.699Please respect copyright.PENANAVdZXIud60l
699Please respect copyright.PENANAaY8ZCFT6wn
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.699Please respect copyright.PENANATqm9ZUE7QB
699Please respect copyright.PENANAF0Nt7L7m21
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.699Please respect copyright.PENANA6fpbfzM7aB
699Please respect copyright.PENANAzurxPVBtiJ
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"699Please respect copyright.PENANA5owOO9kHRw
699Please respect copyright.PENANAva4ZIMHv6l
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.699Please respect copyright.PENANAJPSZ6uqoTs
699Please respect copyright.PENANA4ldfXwh1Jm
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.699Please respect copyright.PENANAmcLE2MGYSf
699Please respect copyright.PENANAFl6F80QToH
"I won't."699Please respect copyright.PENANAN3q43mRlNC
699Please respect copyright.PENANAQS8O2mzwTA
He obeys, watching me soberly.699Please respect copyright.PENANAU2hYfROZfe
699Please respect copyright.PENANAu2E3Vco0b4
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.699Please respect copyright.PENANAU5oXMNlefM
699Please respect copyright.PENANAUTcyx9w4hW
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.699Please respect copyright.PENANAY4mW94jein
699Please respect copyright.PENANAwlqCznNT5y
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.699Please respect copyright.PENANAfA767FINH6
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.699Please respect copyright.PENANA3H9c1xwWMP
699Please respect copyright.PENANAMf40YGBqry
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.699Please respect copyright.PENANARlpLBOPGhv
699Please respect copyright.PENANAUvqxOVFLXa
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.699Please respect copyright.PENANAv2IV4bwuHY
699Please respect copyright.PENANANoJ5mHFUT7
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"699Please respect copyright.PENANA0MYQy4E3Ac
699Please respect copyright.PENANAUNRfngYBN8
He tries to nod but he can't.699Please respect copyright.PENANA1LTN2pCP4I
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.699Please respect copyright.PENANAokdG5KlxnV
699Please respect copyright.PENANA82LY1l4k9h
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.699Please respect copyright.PENANAlwmlMZarCB
699Please respect copyright.PENANAODYArARo9q
He looks up into mine.699Please respect copyright.PENANAg7j22m7p5j
699Please respect copyright.PENANAqP5kkLtDD3
"Don't leave me." He whispers.699Please respect copyright.PENANAPyGflfZYbT
699Please respect copyright.PENANA62riKPTLRC
"Stay awake." I tell him.699Please respect copyright.PENANAOgNfKC8GWC
699Please respect copyright.PENANAOvOplIO1Yt
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.699Please respect copyright.PENANAFWgqKEMo0c
699Please respect copyright.PENANA0yLrPmTZ73
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.699Please respect copyright.PENANAY5H24gXAPh
699Please respect copyright.PENANAaizzUDghbI
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"699Please respect copyright.PENANA36LYvrzh58
699Please respect copyright.PENANAtyKGzV3TVk
He doesn't reply.699Please respect copyright.PENANAv9YKoO0OLQ
699Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bvma0tRsA
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.699Please respect copyright.PENANAx7FoCFUgIs
699Please respect copyright.PENANASUNGpSJ5c0
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.699Please respect copyright.PENANAONqKC9gHWw
699Please respect copyright.PENANAhfJTO8GJRk
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"699Please respect copyright.PENANASWROzgBfjr
699Please respect copyright.PENANAZsknkp2J7C
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.699Please respect copyright.PENANAnX4mxaEhC7
699Please respect copyright.PENANAIE1LHTDbXb
"Stay awake." I told him softly.699Please respect copyright.PENANAdlGEtLKpq5
699Please respect copyright.PENANAWXFrq9Zrql
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.699Please respect copyright.PENANAoTR32zjAhl
699Please respect copyright.PENANAtp8dmY2GvO
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.699Please respect copyright.PENANAGhHrVt52lb
699Please respect copyright.PENANACslaHt9Xze
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.699Please respect copyright.PENANAI2IYo36GLR
699Please respect copyright.PENANAQHnpT8wzju
"Kiss me," he repeats.699Please respect copyright.PENANAdqnsFQLkYB
699Please respect copyright.PENANAJdZLh9GVLB
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.699Please respect copyright.PENANAIW0RqnKxRp
699Please respect copyright.PENANAefSxDFWyUc
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.699Please respect copyright.PENANAeeg8lufIt5
699Please respect copyright.PENANA8d3Dd67gtB
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.699Please respect copyright.PENANAZQa8ktFwzm
699Please respect copyright.PENANAkwx9ISsuoQ
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.699Please respect copyright.PENANAjnIiRl4E1h
699Please respect copyright.PENANAekt7W2DB0G
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.699Please respect copyright.PENANAhuVZK2FE5A
699Please respect copyright.PENANA68K2FdY5kB
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.699Please respect copyright.PENANAj9fUpY8hkb
699Please respect copyright.PENANAKNtskxugOZ
Electricity races through me and lingers.699Please respect copyright.PENANAsSEazs8aBa
699Please respect copyright.PENANAj5rCvOhMSY
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.699Please respect copyright.PENANApm75WPC2U7
699Please respect copyright.PENANA1NLSpAQLQm
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.699Please respect copyright.PENANAZr6ikhsGlB
699Please respect copyright.PENANArGXYppkGiV
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.699Please respect copyright.PENANAhzIgDwdDwS
699Please respect copyright.PENANAZFnbs12z4G
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.699Please respect copyright.PENANAWlk6okRGQg
699Please respect copyright.PENANANIzVbPVOXU
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.699Please respect copyright.PENANApQzCagU6Ag
699Please respect copyright.PENANAvQDrftA3OM
"Jeremy?"699Please respect copyright.PENANAYB23dcjXTh
699Please respect copyright.PENANAHYSmiPrEQo
I shake my head, not believing.699Please respect copyright.PENANAPcVvNkyqaf
699Please respect copyright.PENANASeeYuIXWkk
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"699Please respect copyright.PENANABYPAIbrOJn
699Please respect copyright.PENANAcXWgcujRUq
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.699Please respect copyright.PENANAP89z4JNXxE
699Please respect copyright.PENANAyJMta27VGH
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.699Please respect copyright.PENANAKk6MyPTlIo
699Please respect copyright.PENANAHH7ojsF4Li
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 699Please respect copyright.PENANAwysdHdkvXf
