I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.836Please respect copyright.PENANAKRWu5UHNDb
He's shaking underneath my grasp.836Please respect copyright.PENANAlrC8jkzP69
836Please respect copyright.PENANAKCLiUH6o72
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.836Please respect copyright.PENANAvoatKfXYUy
836Please respect copyright.PENANAuLnLcCjdw1
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.836Please respect copyright.PENANAC5lFK90vBx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmTpLzhMD4l
I smile bitterly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAqaTOfiaLQS
836Please respect copyright.PENANA16QdziO30r
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.836Please respect copyright.PENANAYjkSlOWcqL
836Please respect copyright.PENANAl8GnNq8Fbe
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.836Please respect copyright.PENANAsn3wsyMmrZ
836Please respect copyright.PENANA1NMrAihIkt
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.836Please respect copyright.PENANABjpuGhmnGV
836Please respect copyright.PENANAg4BFnzJTts
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."836Please respect copyright.PENANAiO4A8Rk8d7
836Please respect copyright.PENANAnCip4cceE2
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.836Please respect copyright.PENANAhXBgA0yDhK
836Please respect copyright.PENANANllu8VeI9N
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.836Please respect copyright.PENANARgeoCAfBPg
836Please respect copyright.PENANAyU2JLJyJwl
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.836Please respect copyright.PENANAjB7XhKiG4w
836Please respect copyright.PENANAMQwe1iR2T2
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.836Please respect copyright.PENANA4z6aZ46UBA
836Please respect copyright.PENANAMcKgiovdWZ
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.836Please respect copyright.PENANAmtYgmzTAfN
836Please respect copyright.PENANAE0H4apFthh
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.PENANA27GTYIiSWU
836Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dzk4723nA
I must at all cost keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.PENANA95ER6B21UB
836Please respect copyright.PENANA2zKVOobZdc
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAiy4ir4xS7l
836Please respect copyright.PENANA1a96n4wKhT
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.836Please respect copyright.PENANAxyGQbRYZRn
836Please respect copyright.PENANAKmMNc7QPWc
"Not that long baby I promise."836Please respect copyright.PENANAuxfzoqrUVk
836Please respect copyright.PENANAhbfb5WDDpB
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.836Please respect copyright.PENANAsE2zCqYC9P
836Please respect copyright.PENANAap3dZxF9D2
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.836Please respect copyright.PENANA7hINXjTFbM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAK1d3QbPe97
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.836Please respect copyright.PENANAOHNpwJGsNL
836Please respect copyright.PENANASTQyIYWCLi
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.836Please respect copyright.PENANAW2wqgtK2nU
836Please respect copyright.PENANAux69wftU2S
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.836Please respect copyright.PENANAGxT1j5tX3M
836Please respect copyright.PENANA3gAp03XmnB
I frown at him.836Please respect copyright.PENANA4IlCkpwpwb
836Please respect copyright.PENANABr3kWd8Ch8
"Don't say that."836Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jd7H0Vcpz
836Please respect copyright.PENANAudFw0xfKDD
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.836Please respect copyright.PENANAmKzgoejMoR
836Please respect copyright.PENANA8klrSs4enx
I gasp.836Please respect copyright.PENANAXL4pU35fap
836Please respect copyright.PENANAzAmyM5eOnr
"Jere stop!"836Please respect copyright.PENANAl5RjSdsYLq
836Please respect copyright.PENANAEbx1IX3qmI
He goes on.836Please respect copyright.PENANABlHqQG2UwT
836Please respect copyright.PENANAglo9pQQyN4
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.836Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ0AfDVqFx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAYSXUYALzy4
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAhppkCY1Fmd
836Please respect copyright.PENANAF4S2Z7dsPh
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"836Please respect copyright.PENANARMiooKB8II
836Please respect copyright.PENANAjQTc31GX46
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.836Please respect copyright.PENANAXSAMfMfRic
836Please respect copyright.PENANAd0HkaM8NMF
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.836Please respect copyright.PENANA4gvbAvqpgn
836Please respect copyright.PENANAR6u4BD1o6b
"I won't."836Please respect copyright.PENANAwFoH6vVyEt
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmPNVeCU2WS
He obeys, watching me soberly.836Please respect copyright.PENANABd5a6pidYV
836Please respect copyright.PENANAxizfvPcXRQ
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.836Please respect copyright.PENANAn35XbCBAE2
836Please respect copyright.PENANAv9wqrO4ks7
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.836Please respect copyright.PENANAjxtleJGLR2
836Please respect copyright.PENANAuOQ8xpieK4
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.836Please respect copyright.PENANA9VAZdmuOlN
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.836Please respect copyright.PENANAqGjI1J5EEb
836Please respect copyright.PENANA7GQ3KaiJdl
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.836Please respect copyright.PENANAXlD7jq1bZp
836Please respect copyright.PENANA5k25F9p2hV
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.836Please respect copyright.PENANAx039s0kEsf
836Please respect copyright.PENANA4JZ36gSAYF
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAfYTEyyFbCP
836Please respect copyright.PENANApwilWtGliq
He tries to nod but he can't.836Please respect copyright.PENANAx0OXALiBGg
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.836Please respect copyright.PENANAQvxqfw5ZO4
836Please respect copyright.PENANA56RS5Pboti
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.836Please respect copyright.PENANAKhn5Xv1e7a
836Please respect copyright.PENANA8jt4Lg2sSa
He looks up into mine.836Please respect copyright.PENANAbRrRRkjKTj
836Please respect copyright.PENANA9J8071SM5a
"Don't leave me." He whispers.836Please respect copyright.PENANANtFuEH8E4F
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFsvkGoLcGz
"Stay awake." I tell him.836Please respect copyright.PENANA4PglZhvQ70
836Please respect copyright.PENANA08nxAC7n2e
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.836Please respect copyright.PENANAwbiuUkM1Yd
836Please respect copyright.PENANA6PFY9x9GRf
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.836Please respect copyright.PENANAvKVsFFQtvz
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFDzvUj9PqC
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAaoaJugs4Yx
836Please respect copyright.PENANA9ujUATlIwj
He doesn't reply.836Please respect copyright.PENANAKUB5dQnxDq
836Please respect copyright.PENANAeQRS5NlS5X
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.836Please respect copyright.PENANAvkKCJ20SGH
836Please respect copyright.PENANAVLq0Yvl7tr
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.836Please respect copyright.PENANAVPv1vMX2cB
836Please respect copyright.PENANAOfSLKQ7eEa
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"836Please respect copyright.PENANA6lpQqbW0Qg
836Please respect copyright.PENANAjYs5qoHxnS
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.836Please respect copyright.PENANAArznBvLWS7
836Please respect copyright.PENANATfrKayRKcj
"Stay awake." I told him softly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAV7WKlZkw94
836Please respect copyright.PENANAVnW6OdcJBD
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.836Please respect copyright.PENANACgt9BPcZqs
836Please respect copyright.PENANAc0iJP0fcvM
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAW1Z7ZBqBlP
836Please respect copyright.PENANALCriJcewGc
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.836Please respect copyright.PENANAh1onFNagtf
836Please respect copyright.PENANA7seLQ84iXl
"Kiss me," he repeats.836Please respect copyright.PENANA0KHDJNBZ6E
836Please respect copyright.PENANAxen7rng35P
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.836Please respect copyright.PENANAzYGwjYPOSo
836Please respect copyright.PENANAsJPGWMeCFZ
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.836Please respect copyright.PENANAcgrmwcZq7r
836Please respect copyright.PENANA5dapiG7Twn
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.836Please respect copyright.PENANAHxk2XwkVgV
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFSLQjsNrBQ
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.836Please respect copyright.PENANAdKYNDKJE3w
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFbdTvJsWdI
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.836Please respect copyright.PENANAB2kDDMQV5a
836Please respect copyright.PENANAzBehkUx0Iw
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.836Please respect copyright.PENANAdgJXb2CeW6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAav4SZYTMWv
Electricity races through me and lingers.836Please respect copyright.PENANAj7P6y7pQzx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAWhAdtA2Sxw
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.836Please respect copyright.PENANAi0EFsUBYLj
836Please respect copyright.PENANA04rLD54Ku1
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.836Please respect copyright.PENANAfjqTi8M12C
836Please respect copyright.PENANAjeEf3B6UlI
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.836Please respect copyright.PENANAzNVL1PszZa
836Please respect copyright.PENANA7fEGokHBIn
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.836Please respect copyright.PENANAy3eL4KGRL4
836Please respect copyright.PENANArFSQDTXeH8
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.836Please respect copyright.PENANA6mPqqyzZEB
836Please respect copyright.PENANAxfyA2Z8dh2
"Jeremy?"836Please respect copyright.PENANA1O8X6HGdYQ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUqa517PQN2
I shake my head, not believing.836Please respect copyright.PENANAk9bNGnIbgq
836Please respect copyright.PENANActnRN6uQ1A
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAvK72aw6ZPM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAlwwwQlIBDg
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.836Please respect copyright.PENANARMnpXvkdAK
836Please respect copyright.PENANAhd58EdiRZf
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.836Please respect copyright.PENANA7GEFfvT6ca
836Please respect copyright.PENANAQmURlK6olo
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 836Please respect copyright.PENANAHI0iXL5x54
836Please respect copyright.PENANAWYyMfEleNU
