I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.670Please respect copyright.PENANAsc7Or3xsgX
He's shaking underneath my grasp.670Please respect copyright.PENANAIiGPnhKFdS
670Please respect copyright.PENANAEI6QRnD68I
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.670Please respect copyright.PENANAXWhjRF9Lzu
670Please respect copyright.PENANADuEvZ9lGm6
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.670Please respect copyright.PENANA7XEne1Mi7b
670Please respect copyright.PENANAD8DZ5PmTe9
I smile bitterly.670Please respect copyright.PENANAQRyynps1tY
670Please respect copyright.PENANA2TLIzjiyol
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.670Please respect copyright.PENANAcgSP0k8Who
670Please respect copyright.PENANA74EWgRZYgh
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.670Please respect copyright.PENANAJi2NfL55Ov
670Please respect copyright.PENANAwWW9GwHxPf
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.670Please respect copyright.PENANAiM21yTUWL6
670Please respect copyright.PENANAee8y7bkkNt
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."670Please respect copyright.PENANAIcixUtI8Ut
670Please respect copyright.PENANAm6HH4vXdxq
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.670Please respect copyright.PENANAEbAoyndpRC
670Please respect copyright.PENANA6aneMU7Lr0
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.670Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ8fteL6ga
670Please respect copyright.PENANACmnolzuVRm
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.670Please respect copyright.PENANAKen5PSFZvw
670Please respect copyright.PENANA3GYy0aTxyY
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.670Please respect copyright.PENANAyPWLMekjru
670Please respect copyright.PENANA1TQR6kM5xn
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.670Please respect copyright.PENANA9i9QfTFusV
670Please respect copyright.PENANAItBAGrt4NM
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.670Please respect copyright.PENANAu9WZZLPXeS
670Please respect copyright.PENANAu1iCBxM0vG
I must at all cost keep him awake.670Please respect copyright.PENANAT58LPdLgsL
670Please respect copyright.PENANAUjKZSgS2XN
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"670Please respect copyright.PENANAqm5jWRRifm
670Please respect copyright.PENANAEu1ggPyZzk
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.670Please respect copyright.PENANAokerGyK5Pc
670Please respect copyright.PENANACQktMGSTk2
"Not that long baby I promise."670Please respect copyright.PENANAcDpa4B9ZLr
670Please respect copyright.PENANArfWVexOC6m
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.670Please respect copyright.PENANASGwJxoebma
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAotXNBCXdU
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.670Please respect copyright.PENANAqYnKuzxeuv
670Please respect copyright.PENANAWkI5jfJRXy
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.670Please respect copyright.PENANAPLC9nNzuEO
670Please respect copyright.PENANAg4GdpHKxA8
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.670Please respect copyright.PENANAxHkuJjplPO
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4FpNBunCkF
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.670Please respect copyright.PENANAOcMlGNiZjE
670Please respect copyright.PENANAgpGfxc1b6Q
I frown at him.670Please respect copyright.PENANAL7l2Dxx2jv
670Please respect copyright.PENANAY280R8xCpS
"Don't say that."670Please respect copyright.PENANAEBn3ZLEGQO
670Please respect copyright.PENANAGjfJlEcqkA
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.670Please respect copyright.PENANA4EkklqQ3EQ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAg3q1GbktLN
I gasp.670Please respect copyright.PENANAUGbTJbTAop
670Please respect copyright.PENANAl6sw2bhSOW
"Jere stop!"670Please respect copyright.PENANAl7CVZFIRtE
670Please respect copyright.PENANAH44kfFQdnk
He goes on.670Please respect copyright.PENANA4lH24UY4T8
670Please respect copyright.PENANAbgMaqncfWW
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.670Please respect copyright.PENANATiKmZVr6Fm
670Please respect copyright.PENANAzc2F5wzWwX
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.670Please respect copyright.PENANAPz122ZSqCg
670Please respect copyright.PENANACMFnl3Rgo8
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"670Please respect copyright.PENANAijihM5qmAs
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOilJpXIQlo
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.670Please respect copyright.PENANAjuy2c10khM
670Please respect copyright.PENANA5svB7qwSdW
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.670Please respect copyright.PENANAuKETu87bye
670Please respect copyright.PENANAzHfuoCxnko
"I won't."670Please respect copyright.PENANARVrtMNugOw
670Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0IrdWqbMC
He obeys, watching me soberly.670Please respect copyright.PENANAByfDJgEA38
670Please respect copyright.PENANAzcALB3nRNt
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.670Please respect copyright.PENANArSARVVgVcp
670Please respect copyright.PENANAIG4gEyImEa
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.670Please respect copyright.PENANAucTzRS9a42
670Please respect copyright.PENANA09EZolfsJo
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.670Please respect copyright.PENANAxZf4cYldZV
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.670Please respect copyright.PENANAFFLh9fPeVn
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4UelptkK8u
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.670Please respect copyright.PENANAroeG2VeiTa
670Please respect copyright.PENANAf1SihHXGCW
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.670Please respect copyright.PENANA1PcAVBq9k5
670Please respect copyright.PENANAyiYVLgfxHZ
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"670Please respect copyright.PENANAWt1Bgr47ER
670Please respect copyright.PENANAWpGk2sCTdK
He tries to nod but he can't.670Please respect copyright.PENANAobttwxyIOf
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.670Please respect copyright.PENANARKZmeafFGj
670Please respect copyright.PENANAq0yaRvn73N
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.670Please respect copyright.PENANAVCZuTfcH3s
670Please respect copyright.PENANASa4w167V3t
He looks up into mine.670Please respect copyright.PENANA4JqwaF4azP
670Please respect copyright.PENANA3zegH3b9RW
"Don't leave me." He whispers.670Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Uh15B2Pk
670Please respect copyright.PENANApgEIBVOpry
"Stay awake." I tell him.670Please respect copyright.PENANAkJqtA2uLGE
670Please respect copyright.PENANALe3fVkXQUj
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.670Please respect copyright.PENANAkuIwToTOlH
670Please respect copyright.PENANAW1BOWmYb4b
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.670Please respect copyright.PENANAqBlXhrx0QP
670Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3e4dXKbbb
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"670Please respect copyright.PENANARxd3BpYIEk
670Please respect copyright.PENANAIA67MHhgiD
He doesn't reply.670Please respect copyright.PENANA6figYt8aeF
670Please respect copyright.PENANADCrK62dXdj
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.670Please respect copyright.PENANAi2yIlSivct
670Please respect copyright.PENANAJeN4h4VEzc
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.670Please respect copyright.PENANAhvusI7dcHN
670Please respect copyright.PENANAhXRBNrzrTg
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"670Please respect copyright.PENANAUaLOXggu32
670Please respect copyright.PENANAWhf7H3AR22
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.670Please respect copyright.PENANAVYxUi92nJY
670Please respect copyright.PENANA0yyuA9kz6b
"Stay awake." I told him softly.670Please respect copyright.PENANAr5LH55qpLQ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAYCfJLznCnz
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.670Please respect copyright.PENANAuD98ljP34h
670Please respect copyright.PENANADGi3w0wpZz
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.670Please respect copyright.PENANA0elAaeYInX
670Please respect copyright.PENANAfVTIw0gSlJ
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.670Please respect copyright.PENANAAi0LwvPZGg
670Please respect copyright.PENANAE60HDJUzoy
"Kiss me," he repeats.670Please respect copyright.PENANA4HH96p30k5
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZgxxEuoQZV
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.670Please respect copyright.PENANAvGDAf33C5R
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOfzXzk9DBQ
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.670Please respect copyright.PENANApgWRkEtwbn
670Please respect copyright.PENANAfa2MUlguNI
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.670Please respect copyright.PENANAn3BgLj6PTa
670Please respect copyright.PENANADXXoo9lxmS
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.670Please respect copyright.PENANAaLU82E5ZVO
670Please respect copyright.PENANANycUCgzwhc
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.670Please respect copyright.PENANAMeMZ0JAi7x
670Please respect copyright.PENANAyNzPu1k6xT
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.670Please respect copyright.PENANAXj7BKV7zhT
670Please respect copyright.PENANAR8jm15YE6o
Electricity races through me and lingers.670Please respect copyright.PENANAeStFj3ub2r
670Please respect copyright.PENANAE12Vp69FYn
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.670Please respect copyright.PENANAgpmUxG8CbR
670Please respect copyright.PENANAtVb5GMw9lC
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.670Please respect copyright.PENANA7znxKNLfgr
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZS6J3CI9Y5
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.670Please respect copyright.PENANA8q0Y4G6xt1
670Please respect copyright.PENANALabSz3dpk3
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.670Please respect copyright.PENANAfdZ0gJpNSJ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAtXbChIDEil
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.670Please respect copyright.PENANADOTqjZWphI
670Please respect copyright.PENANAioG91QyZVg
"Jeremy?"670Please respect copyright.PENANAl5ngoY93Cr
670Please respect copyright.PENANAUD5P1MNpdi
I shake my head, not believing.670Please respect copyright.PENANAIPdjS5u0Wy
670Please respect copyright.PENANAP0n5MNBX5V
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"670Please respect copyright.PENANAABwzDuNfzm
670Please respect copyright.PENANAIKDwvMGyna
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.670Please respect copyright.PENANAN4PgfryVJ1
670Please respect copyright.PENANA18ymb36vtj
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.670Please respect copyright.PENANAFUVl5JJnDn
670Please respect copyright.PENANAnYNmIcsHro
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAv8hUIwVvGz
670Please respect copyright.PENANAVmjWGgPH31
