JERE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.715Please respect copyright.PENANAfOEWxHaftm
He's shaking underneath my grasp.715Please respect copyright.PENANAmtCRxeLqha
715Please respect copyright.PENANAvIalxXBRDq
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.715Please respect copyright.PENANAecCUzlQoYY
715Please respect copyright.PENANAgEeQS5SddS
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.715Please respect copyright.PENANAjodhxlKTtB
715Please respect copyright.PENANAhduckExAa2
I smile bitterly.715Please respect copyright.PENANAWGX6Er50Xz
715Please respect copyright.PENANAkN1IUTbARx
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.715Please respect copyright.PENANAf5wjG4EkeX
715Please respect copyright.PENANA6C7CS3Wsmq
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.715Please respect copyright.PENANA1EDURVvDTF
715Please respect copyright.PENANAh6NbFlzUb9
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.715Please respect copyright.PENANAkvWnaj91QV
715Please respect copyright.PENANAmKYgLn2PGc
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."715Please respect copyright.PENANAtZuQhXoLPC
715Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7pFW1zWbj
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.715Please respect copyright.PENANAbODQekTxZ9
715Please respect copyright.PENANAW3fglRbNnL
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.715Please respect copyright.PENANAa82TnIOpac
715Please respect copyright.PENANAphPxFFoyBV
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.715Please respect copyright.PENANAHiooqF8MW7
715Please respect copyright.PENANA22rIWn06rK
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.715Please respect copyright.PENANAGzLchYYn1a
715Please respect copyright.PENANArTWzEy86n8
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.715Please respect copyright.PENANAzwfN0lInqI
715Please respect copyright.PENANAKmwQLaXclG
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.715Please respect copyright.PENANANDYobVgGNt
715Please respect copyright.PENANAzwyDLGzk0V
I must at all cost keep him awake.715Please respect copyright.PENANAXYKwrUoWo7
715Please respect copyright.PENANAkHbXm3CTJE
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long must I wait?"715Please respect copyright.PENANAjoLHueaHdh
715Please respect copyright.PENANAkqoVoIiPog
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.715Please respect copyright.PENANAmrnDaupIfh
715Please respect copyright.PENANA7LeiRny6dK
"Not that long baby I promise."715Please respect copyright.PENANABlhvZqjzCM
715Please respect copyright.PENANA4SQI61jLLs
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.715Please respect copyright.PENANACBzd7qRIKf
715Please respect copyright.PENANA7Aav96zuCz
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.715Please respect copyright.PENANATpTWLnYifc
715Please respect copyright.PENANAVAnak8ONVI
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.715Please respect copyright.PENANAjNLrrXMqNp
715Please respect copyright.PENANAR0jxRFGmLa
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.715Please respect copyright.PENANAnsYVRIlRRj
715Please respect copyright.PENANAjyDUWCIMDI
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.715Please respect copyright.PENANAsEU9rkV7lB
715Please respect copyright.PENANAFMtoodZ2aQ
I frown at him.715Please respect copyright.PENANARcP3NuPbdM
715Please respect copyright.PENANAuImGH8efSW
"Don't say that."715Please respect copyright.PENANAQM9aqnHfeV
715Please respect copyright.PENANAejZIWjkUET
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.715Please respect copyright.PENANAVSPrcXXkZL
715Please respect copyright.PENANAPbaROjyxCj
I gasp.715Please respect copyright.PENANAEjxcI5lY1w
715Please respect copyright.PENANAcBpLBgKkA9
"Jere stop!"715Please respect copyright.PENANALIC4ifxDqy
715Please respect copyright.PENANAlBXV2BnNxi
He goes on.715Please respect copyright.PENANARwOiObjKdI
715Please respect copyright.PENANAa3XkmhjOcB
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.715Please respect copyright.PENANAOSDEkNPr0H
715Please respect copyright.PENANARLi5qkzeS0
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.715Please respect copyright.PENANArgKkZe28Ac
715Please respect copyright.PENANABkSnVTDTho
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"715Please respect copyright.PENANAG3J2LZjf27
715Please respect copyright.PENANAtaKOu25qXU
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.715Please respect copyright.PENANAgj0wTweCI2
715Please respect copyright.PENANALALPcaFRS9
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.715Please respect copyright.PENANADr10CS7cBI
715Please respect copyright.PENANADKXdP70DAy
"I won't."715Please respect copyright.PENANAhl1yvONmdf
715Please respect copyright.PENANAB31opMLNIi
He obeys, watching me soberly.715Please respect copyright.PENANAptIglDNZlD
715Please respect copyright.PENANAJfzCYb5Ict
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.715Please respect copyright.PENANANXatygTwv6
715Please respect copyright.PENANA9Aytc6ZyZ7
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.715Please respect copyright.PENANAP3wyQUIJOi
715Please respect copyright.PENANAGHMDd8r2Gt
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.715Please respect copyright.PENANANokPluwzfu
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.715Please respect copyright.PENANAR7FMobUq4c
715Please respect copyright.PENANAa2iQSljKS1
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.715Please respect copyright.PENANAkagofqf3yH
715Please respect copyright.PENANAglYv8Adgmp
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.715Please respect copyright.PENANAV6oKeuj9YL
715Please respect copyright.PENANAyZiwOnso5N
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"715Please respect copyright.PENANAcv69a9TMdt
715Please respect copyright.PENANAgoJ9fKNA91
He tries to nod but he can't.715Please respect copyright.PENANACj9KuIsasA
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.715Please respect copyright.PENANAbVvsO6ioTf
715Please respect copyright.PENANA8bNAB6UXGm
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.715Please respect copyright.PENANASVeOwPdYLV
715Please respect copyright.PENANAXkLgpMXyp2
He looks up into mine.715Please respect copyright.PENANAG9zDGkumtc
715Please respect copyright.PENANAZbYRNoovb4
"Don't leave me." He whispers.715Please respect copyright.PENANA6NO2lXGNmT
715Please respect copyright.PENANABjOJcKLFlo
"Stay awake." I tell him.715Please respect copyright.PENANAcc3RmTzya8
715Please respect copyright.PENANAKe5SsztcTR
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.715Please respect copyright.PENANAvt4zT6tCv4
715Please respect copyright.PENANAryM4knzs00
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.715Please respect copyright.PENANAVeObQJGEix
715Please respect copyright.PENANApbxaGrllkd
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"715Please respect copyright.PENANA3nHjTgcKdv
715Please respect copyright.PENANAVRCM2V6JmG
He doesn't reply.715Please respect copyright.PENANAdusr9bLc7w
715Please respect copyright.PENANAdsSm5m7eap
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.715Please respect copyright.PENANAa3PwwbdQXO
715Please respect copyright.PENANAQpzEXlYbMz
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.715Please respect copyright.PENANAj8U6Jx0M4p
715Please respect copyright.PENANAp6Xxd0qvWc
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"715Please respect copyright.PENANANjsmeQ2z3c
715Please respect copyright.PENANAUSntS8Gr1A
His eyes blink open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.715Please respect copyright.PENANAxSDPpzIHsa
715Please respect copyright.PENANAAKHbeh9C4p
"Stay awake." I told him softly.715Please respect copyright.PENANAlcAmTeQMbC
715Please respect copyright.PENANAdaNwgkO6Cz
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.715Please respect copyright.PENANAaq0WFMKNn4
715Please respect copyright.PENANASohCviMBm6
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.715Please respect copyright.PENANANamxZMpmQF
715Please respect copyright.PENANAkRraKFxuZp
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.715Please respect copyright.PENANAyVAd5gBviL
715Please respect copyright.PENANAap3TxQC4wg
"Kiss me," he repeats.715Please respect copyright.PENANAKrHECbx06r
715Please respect copyright.PENANARmxuEPRCS8
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.715Please respect copyright.PENANADv5pNf0Hjs
715Please respect copyright.PENANAiPFWxhCu4j
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.715Please respect copyright.PENANAjvRsnX8KCh
715Please respect copyright.PENANAkTDKOHhRrt
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.715Please respect copyright.PENANA62dqROgpma
715Please respect copyright.PENANAGiSlrLPI7z
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.715Please respect copyright.PENANABJ3xsdZeru
715Please respect copyright.PENANAT0wDvwhdBu
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.715Please respect copyright.PENANAm6cdu8KsjM
715Please respect copyright.PENANAWKlS2aSuSK
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.715Please respect copyright.PENANAi8DgOHV4Ub
715Please respect copyright.PENANA9gX3uZBxmm
Electricity races through me and lingers.715Please respect copyright.PENANAg8lZpSd2bb
715Please respect copyright.PENANAnQxjcmjDeP
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.715Please respect copyright.PENANAuxkVSOQlFo
715Please respect copyright.PENANAJDOG6oojra
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.715Please respect copyright.PENANA8CAklsaVv3
715Please respect copyright.PENANApywn2RaNgr
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.715Please respect copyright.PENANAWMJFcb8MRT
715Please respect copyright.PENANAEQwxADTWL7
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.715Please respect copyright.PENANAG7ubNaP11P
715Please respect copyright.PENANAPvponzEPTN
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.715Please respect copyright.PENANAmPmKuFPW9x
715Please respect copyright.PENANAVMqi5mk8oJ
"Jeremy?"715Please respect copyright.PENANArq5g8GXglo
715Please respect copyright.PENANAzJr9fuNCa4
I shake my head, not believing.715Please respect copyright.PENANANiacgb6TfV
715Please respect copyright.PENANAGDAa4fS7zW
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"715Please respect copyright.PENANAw1AYi5oGWQ
715Please respect copyright.PENANAZSMUTK9DyL
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.715Please respect copyright.PENANArmtbbtOEMO
715Please respect copyright.PENANAHfMlWkFajt
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.715Please respect copyright.PENANAptH5Zgoy2A
715Please respect copyright.PENANARYiziyg0KG
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 715Please respect copyright.PENANA0Im4EKiZax
