I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.675Please respect copyright.PENANARnE4vmXQzv
He's shaking underneath my grasp.675Please respect copyright.PENANAXMvzPpUNxd
675Please respect copyright.PENANA94bDdH2pbH
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.675Please respect copyright.PENANAUfM3AFlu1r
675Please respect copyright.PENANASlCpmFz1vu
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.675Please respect copyright.PENANAdFyTTdIcG8
675Please respect copyright.PENANAza3L9MEqzR
I smile bitterly.675Please respect copyright.PENANAOB9LUFnHq8
675Please respect copyright.PENANA7AEPeITXro
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.675Please respect copyright.PENANAGpsMjjtM6j
675Please respect copyright.PENANAdSviNnjJEG
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.675Please respect copyright.PENANAJE17fLPFtu
675Please respect copyright.PENANAApPNhyVwNQ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.675Please respect copyright.PENANANMYsB4uR9N
675Please respect copyright.PENANAm0cHwSbyh8
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."675Please respect copyright.PENANAAtt9g2K4Pt
675Please respect copyright.PENANAAHiBaLhEae
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.675Please respect copyright.PENANAGkQCSlPtaj
675Please respect copyright.PENANAEPgE9k7dsI
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.675Please respect copyright.PENANAh7oSHkZa94
675Please respect copyright.PENANANGn2m1aJyg
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.675Please respect copyright.PENANAO84KjJCFvi
675Please respect copyright.PENANAJteNqr17MD
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.675Please respect copyright.PENANAXNgQ2ezjoF
675Please respect copyright.PENANAXjwYjZydGo
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.675Please respect copyright.PENANA4ALo0sMLZX
675Please respect copyright.PENANA6sgCviBIzt
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.675Please respect copyright.PENANAWWWbXSyreS
675Please respect copyright.PENANAw37RhAVOc5
I must at all cost keep him awake.675Please respect copyright.PENANAhfGHRhgoC6
675Please respect copyright.PENANAtznqYnv4To
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"675Please respect copyright.PENANAy4rVn4gFDz
675Please respect copyright.PENANAYSgwk8EPSX
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.675Please respect copyright.PENANAXKIpyokn7M
675Please respect copyright.PENANA00D7gdJW54
"Not that long baby I promise."675Please respect copyright.PENANALgt4YJtLtk
675Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ2BHg7GKc
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.675Please respect copyright.PENANAZHgSYsOp8z
675Please respect copyright.PENANAWUVX7yQhhz
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.675Please respect copyright.PENANAncYcpwiQKg
675Please respect copyright.PENANAJKnOreI1c7
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.675Please respect copyright.PENANAiB1fFaZzvU
675Please respect copyright.PENANAnprczA0EAo
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.675Please respect copyright.PENANA5YEsjo6rqD
675Please respect copyright.PENANAeXwOGUAyVY
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.675Please respect copyright.PENANA2GguKKPbeC
675Please respect copyright.PENANAWV1wlXgDek
I frown at him.675Please respect copyright.PENANA85vZ2veFy2
675Please respect copyright.PENANAgk9QHQn5pj
"Don't say that."675Please respect copyright.PENANA594CLPnZ3T
675Please respect copyright.PENANAuANRodID6y
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.675Please respect copyright.PENANASSk2hUASJF
675Please respect copyright.PENANAojCYst0d7X
I gasp.675Please respect copyright.PENANA9atVkokR1q
675Please respect copyright.PENANAMbCbmntHqG
"Jere stop!"675Please respect copyright.PENANAZmBWY1rEE8
675Please respect copyright.PENANAZX2GqmTGFg
He goes on.675Please respect copyright.PENANAWGRh3ruvUl
675Please respect copyright.PENANAYL2jnAg7hb
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.675Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ecpcrJDp
675Please respect copyright.PENANAac2kaqUyKs
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.675Please respect copyright.PENANAhnNY980zJ7
675Please respect copyright.PENANANM59b4dS72
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"675Please respect copyright.PENANAIohEvv947u
675Please respect copyright.PENANAD7hKDkGc6B
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.675Please respect copyright.PENANA1kTqtlC3GJ
675Please respect copyright.PENANAXUpIqvcGj6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.675Please respect copyright.PENANAgmaIyybjLD
675Please respect copyright.PENANAnkGVWQmhnI
"I won't."675Please respect copyright.PENANAsoR18bsxit
675Please respect copyright.PENANAmcPK1fOq1V
He obeys, watching me soberly.675Please respect copyright.PENANAQkUaPQWf7o
675Please respect copyright.PENANA3zXwUbrcnK
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.675Please respect copyright.PENANAVi05Rdbe6U
675Please respect copyright.PENANAhvJyBdYgOr
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.675Please respect copyright.PENANA3c2pxLENdH
675Please respect copyright.PENANACl5y5jwNaU
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.675Please respect copyright.PENANAqUJYSny6I8
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.675Please respect copyright.PENANAWrAM6z8SA1
675Please respect copyright.PENANAIMmv0I8umY
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.675Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ljee6i9n
675Please respect copyright.PENANAvjDnSl8u4U
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.675Please respect copyright.PENANAOCECcI5hi2
675Please respect copyright.PENANAHYEAXJBMNL
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"675Please respect copyright.PENANAD7iT0c8Gg9
675Please respect copyright.PENANAwB0UOBjd8c
He tries to nod but he can't.675Please respect copyright.PENANAfWprev1LIl
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.675Please respect copyright.PENANAjX4gssuLqZ
675Please respect copyright.PENANATI85VECRdI
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.675Please respect copyright.PENANAqBeyRBab41
675Please respect copyright.PENANAwiFIkdrlld
He looks up into mine.675Please respect copyright.PENANARtwm6TZYRt
675Please respect copyright.PENANAeS4xmhrCa4
"Don't leave me." He whispers.675Please respect copyright.PENANAGpL9PZqjnn
675Please respect copyright.PENANApYXtfkHoJW
"Stay awake." I tell him.675Please respect copyright.PENANAJZXXcviPTM
675Please respect copyright.PENANAaB5CP9P0CY
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.675Please respect copyright.PENANA3MVwqUKMil
675Please respect copyright.PENANAHNP89cLypl
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.675Please respect copyright.PENANAkgdW4u8Aei
675Please respect copyright.PENANA3Hitq6E90Y
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"675Please respect copyright.PENANAll2qsoXi6k
675Please respect copyright.PENANAMxShiIBiCq
He doesn't reply.675Please respect copyright.PENANADcRpvZbasF
675Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2GeQEI8LM
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.675Please respect copyright.PENANAyEdH5iHqkB
675Please respect copyright.PENANA9f3SWB4LBy
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.675Please respect copyright.PENANAh7tsTJkQxp
675Please respect copyright.PENANA21Ux1jAxSU
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"675Please respect copyright.PENANAWY2DuPAPwg
675Please respect copyright.PENANAKnwIRNG22p
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.675Please respect copyright.PENANAxn877S2Kjn
675Please respect copyright.PENANAbaVCUBHQAw
"Stay awake." I told him softly.675Please respect copyright.PENANAqG3JlfnnKh
675Please respect copyright.PENANAwLmtVFnQbm
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.675Please respect copyright.PENANABKF8YnGTvu
675Please respect copyright.PENANALTVJPagKWg
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.675Please respect copyright.PENANAOGUbXjQXpW
675Please respect copyright.PENANANR1quIX1WH
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.675Please respect copyright.PENANABkhTGnCcgM
675Please respect copyright.PENANACkxhuhlsWl
"Kiss me," he repeats.675Please respect copyright.PENANAE8VDAAuQSg
675Please respect copyright.PENANAxDjkEiapzV
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.675Please respect copyright.PENANAfd7bzulWAi
675Please respect copyright.PENANAJkQN0BY6KX
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.675Please respect copyright.PENANASFcn8qPmk4
675Please respect copyright.PENANAF95801Mha3
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.675Please respect copyright.PENANA6JblRFxmBN
675Please respect copyright.PENANAc9SU6rZxof
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.675Please respect copyright.PENANANSL7F4dgfP
675Please respect copyright.PENANAyvP8hO8pfD
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.675Please respect copyright.PENANAhiwrJctYCQ
675Please respect copyright.PENANA3mjd5w38eI
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.675Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7je0khibE
675Please respect copyright.PENANALrwPsivmA5
Electricity races through me and lingers.675Please respect copyright.PENANAfUkLPI7tM7
675Please respect copyright.PENANAfUXJfZUrYU
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.675Please respect copyright.PENANApJ2YOa6crp
675Please respect copyright.PENANAfuZXTjTBmZ
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.675Please respect copyright.PENANAuMa4HDVnfN
675Please respect copyright.PENANACGwaWjjQ35
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.675Please respect copyright.PENANAIO3xAIl88O
675Please respect copyright.PENANAgVVmxf2NyC
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.675Please respect copyright.PENANAai3aqMfypK
675Please respect copyright.PENANATle2GsvCvp
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.675Please respect copyright.PENANAk7PdqhgLLk
675Please respect copyright.PENANAbjeYiIfL35
"Jeremy?"675Please respect copyright.PENANAcXhwxtq9J9
675Please respect copyright.PENANAkUiKNtvULX
I shake my head, not believing.675Please respect copyright.PENANAy0rYtc1qtq
675Please respect copyright.PENANA9ojA6QxcmF
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"675Please respect copyright.PENANAlflkGfBKNX
675Please respect copyright.PENANAWgTk2vHLDD
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.675Please respect copyright.PENANA5lWXzkbWTc
675Please respect copyright.PENANA4tQzkdqvLS
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.675Please respect copyright.PENANALrZnkKzwdF
675Please respect copyright.PENANAkmBRkIvZQj
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 675Please respect copyright.PENANAxqc6rcNk49
675Please respect copyright.PENANAUTzGwlhove
