I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.835Please respect copyright.PENANACepCfDZlJR
He's shaking underneath my grasp.835Please respect copyright.PENANAtOXBLjcx97
835Please respect copyright.PENANAxbGYEse6Ad
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.835Please respect copyright.PENANAZRqYa09y57
835Please respect copyright.PENANAffPH35zmwY
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.835Please respect copyright.PENANAcp5D8be1vY
835Please respect copyright.PENANArwzt2YkvdP
I smile bitterly.835Please respect copyright.PENANAXhnOJ0Drva
835Please respect copyright.PENANA22nKRDbPkW
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.835Please respect copyright.PENANAzmHeJWafPQ
835Please respect copyright.PENANA3iKsiKeCvq
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.835Please respect copyright.PENANAMen3sl88WU
835Please respect copyright.PENANAzMwT4hh5Yn
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.835Please respect copyright.PENANAg3wwSismur
835Please respect copyright.PENANAHDWEsvev9Z
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."835Please respect copyright.PENANAFSVoqJ7YWI
835Please respect copyright.PENANAMklITRIVK5
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAWSL93CAFGX
835Please respect copyright.PENANA0VCE9mqprr
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.835Please respect copyright.PENANAOiKmbcIh9R
835Please respect copyright.PENANAhm6duiuGpQ
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.835Please respect copyright.PENANAZqpBFD0pP8
835Please respect copyright.PENANAfaok9bk5ql
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.835Please respect copyright.PENANAyeiIASS4sZ
835Please respect copyright.PENANAVlTlaaGqaM
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.835Please respect copyright.PENANA7yz1wEnVt9
835Please respect copyright.PENANAU9E3FmlA3f
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.835Please respect copyright.PENANADh1AHmcz9A
835Please respect copyright.PENANAh8cESVA6ng
I must at all cost keep him awake.835Please respect copyright.PENANAHChRUj611L
835Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Uuacs3vY
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAL0c7ymrhg9
835Please respect copyright.PENANAOuybMzAqDD
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.835Please respect copyright.PENANAXcR0Loxeuu
835Please respect copyright.PENANAIRktQXxDXJ
"Not that long baby I promise."835Please respect copyright.PENANAbAh4Gzjx0x
835Please respect copyright.PENANAsuO5qOQDaJ
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.835Please respect copyright.PENANAK6vmgC0Q3V
835Please respect copyright.PENANAdaktQ7MWmg
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.835Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4JrduxJjr
835Please respect copyright.PENANANsBFcVqjos
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.835Please respect copyright.PENANALpMvse8HgB
835Please respect copyright.PENANAH1eOmwR3K6
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.835Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Ejp20CdX
835Please respect copyright.PENANASpIVmzHPPR
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.835Please respect copyright.PENANAy2SxxVB3Vg
835Please respect copyright.PENANA1oxKBwnF1E
I frown at him.835Please respect copyright.PENANApnsaXUuDrq
835Please respect copyright.PENANAu6CLkHxZb3
"Don't say that."835Please respect copyright.PENANAogd7bOzQfA
835Please respect copyright.PENANATBbktnpxrh
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.835Please respect copyright.PENANAmayKRdPyQG
835Please respect copyright.PENANAae4Nro2zk1
I gasp.835Please respect copyright.PENANALvsqtRhiW8
835Please respect copyright.PENANAsiDu35LL7k
"Jere stop!"835Please respect copyright.PENANATpLHBsg8QU
835Please respect copyright.PENANAoxkGx1mRs3
He goes on.835Please respect copyright.PENANAdjqfksaLk3
835Please respect copyright.PENANAfN4GNcVAR0
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.835Please respect copyright.PENANABxsx7jiyQL
835Please respect copyright.PENANAVN9JiwkLna
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.835Please respect copyright.PENANAwBoZLq52TD
835Please respect copyright.PENANAPhU4NEFYHX
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"835Please respect copyright.PENANAKuTl8aSpLt
835Please respect copyright.PENANAi7VC2pvFeC
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.835Please respect copyright.PENANAxPBJPxlbI4
835Please respect copyright.PENANA9e4I9xOwEq
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.835Please respect copyright.PENANA78xnqCprEl
835Please respect copyright.PENANAdE8R9MyOLu
"I won't."835Please respect copyright.PENANAHigq1AotsC
835Please respect copyright.PENANAucNtEEdwCz
He obeys, watching me soberly.835Please respect copyright.PENANA6NXhm5pUrz
835Please respect copyright.PENANAUTh9i5Lo0E
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.835Please respect copyright.PENANA59UaRpyZ59
835Please respect copyright.PENANAjNJGFfBW3M
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.835Please respect copyright.PENANA2d1E0sS8bT
835Please respect copyright.PENANAKMgD87j84Y
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.835Please respect copyright.PENANATts5MWg7l7
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.835Please respect copyright.PENANAJiKEvQT0QO
835Please respect copyright.PENANASeark5MI4f
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.835Please respect copyright.PENANA9Iav29Xhnv
835Please respect copyright.PENANASjxjEpBdpF
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.835Please respect copyright.PENANAoypOmjslyT
835Please respect copyright.PENANAeUehUHG9j8
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAFRVJRkcs5d
835Please respect copyright.PENANAEjQ6VNAtQr
He tries to nod but he can't.835Please respect copyright.PENANAFIu5KY9zIy
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.835Please respect copyright.PENANAVnGnMepwKW
835Please respect copyright.PENANAjbyeK2mUGF
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.835Please respect copyright.PENANAE27Orkxe91
835Please respect copyright.PENANAORLKLDtdQB
He looks up into mine.835Please respect copyright.PENANAMxZT23K8oK
835Please respect copyright.PENANAbZsm6VgF4d
"Don't leave me." He whispers.835Please respect copyright.PENANACbwEWaXqzp
835Please respect copyright.PENANAAvj9QKXN1Z
"Stay awake." I tell him.835Please respect copyright.PENANAv0PBdXFk1x
835Please respect copyright.PENANAduBYXIBTYH
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.835Please respect copyright.PENANAJyESfaTq4D
835Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ9hNRVUtJ
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.835Please respect copyright.PENANATQQRA1o8Mc
835Please respect copyright.PENANAsiD1TZ9y5Y
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"835Please respect copyright.PENANARpwWY1LErn
835Please respect copyright.PENANAt6i2FAnkO1
He doesn't reply.835Please respect copyright.PENANAc1lPnpeYzI
835Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ESbDf3EH
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.835Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ78TXCPG0
835Please respect copyright.PENANAkz1VO1Dvc2
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.835Please respect copyright.PENANAmQkw6K3YgO
835Please respect copyright.PENANAqFQpfe329q
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"835Please respect copyright.PENANAnykiahG3wT
835Please respect copyright.PENANApp9VD1l5P3
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.835Please respect copyright.PENANAeSOVCyoLXo
835Please respect copyright.PENANAQLfjmeFaC1
"Stay awake." I told him softly.835Please respect copyright.PENANAfsY9S9MCGL
835Please respect copyright.PENANA0pSaaxf0DJ
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.835Please respect copyright.PENANALAosPcyAYy
835Please respect copyright.PENANADvSDzMiymG
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.835Please respect copyright.PENANA9ixhXgOmV4
835Please respect copyright.PENANAWpRjLlXObh
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.835Please respect copyright.PENANAS0uC0WrB2o
835Please respect copyright.PENANAh6uuuxraQQ
"Kiss me," he repeats.835Please respect copyright.PENANA4NL2OADQiF
835Please respect copyright.PENANA4Tgo45U1fP
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.835Please respect copyright.PENANA8yPwAbVw8H
835Please respect copyright.PENANArKkCq3YXtW
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.835Please respect copyright.PENANAuLj9ag5AKW
835Please respect copyright.PENANAcM1MpaMiWp
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.835Please respect copyright.PENANAok0jSe2tjd
835Please respect copyright.PENANAgsXH12unVH
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.835Please respect copyright.PENANAwdlx9yoIF9
835Please respect copyright.PENANAY7esEuB1bm
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.835Please respect copyright.PENANAEjh9LfEBzm
835Please respect copyright.PENANAyfuwGNzqZi
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.835Please respect copyright.PENANA7UiQkG1gKD
835Please respect copyright.PENANAPRX3DYAdC0
Electricity races through me and lingers.835Please respect copyright.PENANAGYgIYh3K6Q
835Please respect copyright.PENANAjykr8w4pfm
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.835Please respect copyright.PENANAQnx4174ZSC
835Please respect copyright.PENANA9jzOxGs1SX
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.835Please respect copyright.PENANAuvbkGIXDpg
835Please respect copyright.PENANA4jVPTTBsdm
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.835Please respect copyright.PENANAepEYZNo4UC
835Please respect copyright.PENANA8obxO4aP22
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.835Please respect copyright.PENANAL3pLPWWokw
835Please respect copyright.PENANANA0vyYbpeT
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.835Please respect copyright.PENANAWX2VXOlm4d
835Please respect copyright.PENANAIVQladHGUK
"Jeremy?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAwsNB1Wt08J
835Please respect copyright.PENANArZuNzsfrYr
I shake my head, not believing.835Please respect copyright.PENANAVDezD2jVB3
835Please respect copyright.PENANAsROtOLGFkD
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAUBQAuA9ijs
835Please respect copyright.PENANAkoW6QL0Qe0
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.835Please respect copyright.PENANADiF80ZDqof
835Please respect copyright.PENANAZFeQbkqF9p
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAHseT9m2g9V
835Please respect copyright.PENANAXd6KmtPfwf
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 835Please respect copyright.PENANA24otDt8XIR
835Please respect copyright.PENANA4d8LKdrltV
