I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.676Please respect copyright.PENANASf1qG4hWM7
He's shaking underneath my grasp.676Please respect copyright.PENANAP1whzljmUc
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbTGYs6QlBb
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.676Please respect copyright.PENANA8VP4ZV2E7F
676Please respect copyright.PENANADPNOyCZ3PP
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAN3uCEsk3e7
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUDlJigvcGl
I smile bitterly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAnIyOkiiqg2
676Please respect copyright.PENANAE6A5zAlxjz
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.676Please respect copyright.PENANApW2MyLPLKc
676Please respect copyright.PENANA9MEtSlVbB2
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.676Please respect copyright.PENANAlgB3Sd7peV
676Please respect copyright.PENANADBXJvGAAOe
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.676Please respect copyright.PENANALZLnJHNIWI
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJFjH2k4OMo
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."676Please respect copyright.PENANA6LkDACOg2D
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmRtw48Wx5L
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.676Please respect copyright.PENANAknkHWSJ0in
676Please respect copyright.PENANAIlHTSOTotT
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.676Please respect copyright.PENANArrFb3bARIO
676Please respect copyright.PENANACLuImykkbR
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.676Please respect copyright.PENANAiv8mXTZpKT
676Please respect copyright.PENANA8t8SkIo49B
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.676Please respect copyright.PENANAlrR8RDHBxm
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJbYpTRH2Vd
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.676Please respect copyright.PENANAEKbRGslhwv
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHY7H6XRX7Z
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.676Please respect copyright.PENANAnJIBmYfbzQ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAVP2FEaDg9X
I must at all cost keep him awake.676Please respect copyright.PENANAcaJNu8d3HF
676Please respect copyright.PENANAq5iDqa2BDg
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAM9GmCQk08M
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyqm98O8zW0
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.676Please respect copyright.PENANAhBcrhOg3pZ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxXl7HTNrX2
"Not that long baby I promise."676Please respect copyright.PENANAfXjsFrjkwp
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxUlI9aKHjj
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.676Please respect copyright.PENANAjYNaa56IR5
676Please respect copyright.PENANAwd3FVgCjmi
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.676Please respect copyright.PENANAdrjaXtz7qQ
676Please respect copyright.PENANAc1wARthAeC
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.676Please respect copyright.PENANAudi0IBdZCd
676Please respect copyright.PENANAKwimreZHKD
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.676Please respect copyright.PENANAOXQlweRlca
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2Oh68FCuE3
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.676Please respect copyright.PENANAQijpcwSmFU
676Please respect copyright.PENANA3al9xoaA2Y
I frown at him.676Please respect copyright.PENANADQzMBCn9Fr
676Please respect copyright.PENANAqrWh3jylac
"Don't say that."676Please respect copyright.PENANAmLppsWLx2v
676Please respect copyright.PENANAiXqIjr0uJw
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.676Please respect copyright.PENANAMHqPqPBrZW
676Please respect copyright.PENANARrpUB9JbYp
I gasp.676Please respect copyright.PENANAb6dqNlblRc
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXRcYvE2xV1
"Jere stop!"676Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4IDaaJbhw
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4QwBaE6YAY
He goes on.676Please respect copyright.PENANAkuw25cBuyd
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvlErlaQVCW
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAhQITrRWhuV
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoI0MLul3ya
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAeh5iUxylOj
676Please respect copyright.PENANAXQMvnynueB
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"676Please respect copyright.PENANA5NAU3dOmgX
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnVLCgPPojv
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.676Please respect copyright.PENANAPqBAGcTSQ8
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmUC1emxDe6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAakBSjPhTDR
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMQlrwtjnxo
"I won't."676Please respect copyright.PENANAMQEAKRMSFT
676Please respect copyright.PENANAernROkukn9
He obeys, watching me soberly.676Please respect copyright.PENANANLftKXQE5I
676Please respect copyright.PENANA8ljpiOE4Ea
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.676Please respect copyright.PENANApNQYOoOYPe
676Please respect copyright.PENANAtSXMGPXjQZ
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.676Please respect copyright.PENANAlnVN3T841I
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzzcD3rppQt
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.676Please respect copyright.PENANAF4g0PiVKOo
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.676Please respect copyright.PENANAtTDa0Q4lUu
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjYMmh9kJt2
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.676Please respect copyright.PENANAiEyMcq5Mk6
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7FvE9kYb8
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.676Please respect copyright.PENANAhK5Nlwr9a7
676Please respect copyright.PENANATTg8aFCV5O
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAcHj1Azqyij
676Please respect copyright.PENANATkJNHLqiEr
He tries to nod but he can't.676Please respect copyright.PENANAmew0Kwb44X
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.676Please respect copyright.PENANAadP8T871Dm
676Please respect copyright.PENANAgVPC2KdkmB
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.676Please respect copyright.PENANAAGGnXLKpWq
676Please respect copyright.PENANAb2t2b0zpX3
He looks up into mine.676Please respect copyright.PENANAEjRe9Fgr9r
676Please respect copyright.PENANAZGZHwUSmMf
"Don't leave me." He whispers.676Please respect copyright.PENANA5lTk7fseML
676Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Y9k1qTFq
"Stay awake." I tell him.676Please respect copyright.PENANAe7sycejjyL
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPLngiR66Ry
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.676Please respect copyright.PENANA3b2x41nF8I
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzpGmiAEzoR
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.676Please respect copyright.PENANAObgQrc9s6L
676Please respect copyright.PENANAL5VvnS8Iwk
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAKLU9FVMsUB
676Please respect copyright.PENANAdSCOvtGNtk
He doesn't reply.676Please respect copyright.PENANA83yC8WijJn
676Please respect copyright.PENANAAFEjKeLz42
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.676Please respect copyright.PENANAIN6P2xfnU6
676Please respect copyright.PENANAszcqRsjFGV
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.676Please respect copyright.PENANAk55SBQUs0A
676Please respect copyright.PENANAebWQlTWKdY
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"676Please respect copyright.PENANAJKIWinG3Tb
676Please respect copyright.PENANARtGKK9WtDo
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.676Please respect copyright.PENANAumlRxY9lwC
676Please respect copyright.PENANAumKWVUxSnB
"Stay awake." I told him softly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAkS3CrmYKab
676Please respect copyright.PENANApVR3cDUMSK
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.676Please respect copyright.PENANAYTmsQf1Zab
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmw0JuYsJxc
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.676Please respect copyright.PENANAAXvGoS7J7G
676Please respect copyright.PENANAff1xvuZC4m
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.676Please respect copyright.PENANAOfAQqECCKr
676Please respect copyright.PENANA9LviS9rasK
"Kiss me," he repeats.676Please respect copyright.PENANAZWy5R4OlhB
676Please respect copyright.PENANAKnJUP8zQL2
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.676Please respect copyright.PENANAF4YnilGTHw
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbMvecnPILH
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.676Please respect copyright.PENANAJfnnChXe6L
676Please respect copyright.PENANAU1JTh9w2Ul
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.676Please respect copyright.PENANA5tTiUIUg39
676Please respect copyright.PENANApxqsreotJp
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.676Please respect copyright.PENANAjytwOLdrMy
676Please respect copyright.PENANAfOgyMk0YJu
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.676Please respect copyright.PENANA6i8Riz16Q0
676Please respect copyright.PENANAGG0SNo0XLp
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.676Please respect copyright.PENANApzgGtmByAp
676Please respect copyright.PENANANsMmfGcBVe
Electricity races through me and lingers.676Please respect copyright.PENANA0fK4CbR8U7
676Please respect copyright.PENANAUbYj01DK2v
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.676Please respect copyright.PENANAcgpi2SBvGT
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjMYm84nNV4
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.676Please respect copyright.PENANA0TLl3QaPrd
676Please respect copyright.PENANA1WtN6KpjCU
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.676Please respect copyright.PENANA3bTDrAGll5
676Please respect copyright.PENANA8qh2ztOL04
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.676Please respect copyright.PENANAwfdgvummmk
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJXWrlnf5OE
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.676Please respect copyright.PENANAYFRTJoFvxM
676Please respect copyright.PENANAm6Utn2Zg0q
"Jeremy?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAiBRwdMudQ4
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOOn3pl2H1a
I shake my head, not believing.676Please respect copyright.PENANAcZOggKIS5t
676Please respect copyright.PENANAkP2aaBerhd
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"676Please respect copyright.PENANAgqs7Niiza7
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnUIF0sgy2p
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.676Please respect copyright.PENANAZgc5nFqwd2
676Please respect copyright.PENANAxznZR1aaKq
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.676Please respect copyright.PENANAqsgj8uSlwd
676Please respect copyright.PENANAfwd93b8AOL
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 676Please respect copyright.PENANAkRlw9Z0zkf
