I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.836Please respect copyright.PENANAp5akuVp08a
He's shaking underneath my grasp.836Please respect copyright.PENANAEuhNjXxss8
836Please respect copyright.PENANAcEkPpcKOdB
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.836Please respect copyright.PENANAwjBpZegQ6B
836Please respect copyright.PENANALteQ2cE59v
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.PENANAUusT6thAcP
836Please respect copyright.PENANA2qOJn8cffl
I smile bitterly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAe0ZeuKXApd
836Please respect copyright.PENANAePBPkj6xd7
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.836Please respect copyright.PENANAxt6A1PFAF9
836Please respect copyright.PENANAxzKRc5iKxq
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.836Please respect copyright.PENANABxXoHRMKI7
836Please respect copyright.PENANAzYzQ9X3nzQ
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.PENANACmXLETZajl
836Please respect copyright.PENANAgopZf1obPy
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."836Please respect copyright.PENANAkToyDJT2A7
836Please respect copyright.PENANA7I84x3oUb3
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.836Please respect copyright.PENANAuzp3QnR2hh
836Please respect copyright.PENANAb8BYRkn4CQ
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.836Please respect copyright.PENANA7fNlRHywFd
836Please respect copyright.PENANAvVlR9RwKcb
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.PENANAiZrWQZDJM8
836Please respect copyright.PENANAX6F3yLM0ax
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.836Please respect copyright.PENANAcpv4VZtbSp
836Please respect copyright.PENANAdSkCnm7EHq
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.836Please respect copyright.PENANAdXHNfwZRL4
836Please respect copyright.PENANAR6NJYFGURH
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.PENANAKSlzrr3xqf
836Please respect copyright.PENANAckSjRaPlKg
I must at all cost keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.PENANAB8oIJVSa4a
836Please respect copyright.PENANAtQDAL6fQ7V
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAQj61MaeugF
836Please respect copyright.PENANAGUCENR2Nxg
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.836Please respect copyright.PENANAskLNfyan43
836Please respect copyright.PENANAq7WLU0fsgp
"Not that long baby I promise."836Please respect copyright.PENANAriX6m9GfWM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAic5yctD8Yc
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.836Please respect copyright.PENANA0F3Ojvcyvw
836Please respect copyright.PENANAQbJdw4I37h
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.836Please respect copyright.PENANAGd3Ld4ehSI
836Please respect copyright.PENANAnLVA8BsVwP
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.836Please respect copyright.PENANAegRK3PgiNH
836Please respect copyright.PENANAuuQSbHuJyI
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.836Please respect copyright.PENANAX6TZJqFrtt
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUrMWhGG828
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.836Please respect copyright.PENANAjWxQimmeoM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAzkpx8RKOJY
I frown at him.836Please respect copyright.PENANANtjatUoF6L
836Please respect copyright.PENANA0CZKlbhCtl
"Don't say that."836Please respect copyright.PENANAOdI58Z2k2j
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFwhAGnzoez
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.836Please respect copyright.PENANAlHYLrvBe32
836Please respect copyright.PENANA4q7nDcke3K
I gasp.836Please respect copyright.PENANA1qKM0gYtP6
836Please respect copyright.PENANACxOol5oWXl
"Jere stop!"836Please respect copyright.PENANAMGki933Ak6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUeMvSDGUMZ
He goes on.836Please respect copyright.PENANAksbtNvxamE
836Please respect copyright.PENANA3AXLkrpOuI
"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.PENANAcq8KtLQsej
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFUQR44D4AZ
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAFoiIL7Ctzv
836Please respect copyright.PENANAH5StBGQT0y
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"836Please respect copyright.PENANA3WolshqhK9
836Please respect copyright.PENANAg3V5ZWW09E
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.PENANApfn3FG9D2T
836Please respect copyright.PENANAbW9ILivx60
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAUNrwGvVeb2
836Please respect copyright.PENANAC4oyQKd462
"I won't."836Please respect copyright.PENANAdi9L4BH52H
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUxT9GMZrgT
He obeys, watching me soberly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAarotUAGuZa
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFzOd5AjzUT
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.836Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8T2WTHERc
836Please respect copyright.PENANAv0H8IlfmfF
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.836Please respect copyright.PENANAaYbzEmTeJ1
836Please respect copyright.PENANAnVETx3M9Ah
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.836Please respect copyright.PENANAwGqrgGBd25
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.836Please respect copyright.PENANAxcoGusuCmW
836Please respect copyright.PENANA4OUiIC1wGD
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.836Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5v2vWZSdK
836Please respect copyright.PENANAID8ids1Lc4
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.836Please respect copyright.PENANAbPGWUA2fj6
836Please respect copyright.PENANA8eFAHaGY38
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAg2HzWjK8at
836Please respect copyright.PENANAVOlev67yYk
He tries to nod but he can't.836Please respect copyright.PENANAEFWVTV6oyE
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.836Please respect copyright.PENANAy5QBd4QSiB
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUsJniuMxJO
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.836Please respect copyright.PENANAtUyxbrYNqi
836Please respect copyright.PENANAPsCzFHhSV1
He looks up into mine.836Please respect copyright.PENANAlAyMKUXV19
836Please respect copyright.PENANA3l7c29bXBT
"Don't leave me." He whispers.836Please respect copyright.PENANATyWm8G3dH2
836Please respect copyright.PENANAXvyBnUkrhU
"Stay awake." I tell him.836Please respect copyright.PENANARMHadyaGqa
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUZeSrcnCO9
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.836Please respect copyright.PENANA1WoeOUwzMS
836Please respect copyright.PENANABhbzzBvv3I
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.836Please respect copyright.PENANAjC6s6Aq9PA
836Please respect copyright.PENANAKvZAu4JDQr
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAQU9rEgW3F2
836Please respect copyright.PENANAWXljFvTUes
He doesn't reply.836Please respect copyright.PENANA9BMnqjXwe5
836Please respect copyright.PENANARYWxm3aIBu
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.836Please respect copyright.PENANA5Le2ZIC4vD
836Please respect copyright.PENANAn3gZJgXxBV
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.PENANAW2r9OrMSL0
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmeaKQYK4Ay
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"836Please respect copyright.PENANAaT1vUxtXO6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAe8Mk2L0vyl
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.836Please respect copyright.PENANAe4FXtbvhDh
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmtH9tbd4lZ
"Stay awake." I told him softly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAXBVaBkKaMO
836Please respect copyright.PENANA9iwdlA9C9u
"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.PENANAAK3sOdqkrS
836Please respect copyright.PENANA9HCo6sw6t8
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.836Please respect copyright.PENANAHdYxvIWcM1
836Please respect copyright.PENANAcAyqOasNhq
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.836Please respect copyright.PENANA1PKIAqtrFx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAojkJVV4IE0
"Kiss me," he repeats.836Please respect copyright.PENANAZDJUpXkukS
836Please respect copyright.PENANAsrMyRs9DHM
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.836Please respect copyright.PENANA4hkOKu8VEg
836Please respect copyright.PENANAoEucNBw24n
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.836Please respect copyright.PENANAgHCZd9rEZR
836Please respect copyright.PENANAAtWGvCuOfj
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.836Please respect copyright.PENANAvB8rUPeiQ6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3dgue34tC
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.836Please respect copyright.PENANAY7oV2cXN9a
836Please respect copyright.PENANAhLsBITvqjr
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.836Please respect copyright.PENANAWCnm7qVzwx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAECgs1AVYgc
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.836Please respect copyright.PENANAxqkvOp3lsb
836Please respect copyright.PENANAQzaGGYJr6P
Electricity races through me and lingers.836Please respect copyright.PENANAO63rimnmPj
836Please respect copyright.PENANAYYYZwkO95H
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.836Please respect copyright.PENANAHAEozkZr12
836Please respect copyright.PENANAxmK6OBnyBs
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.836Please respect copyright.PENANAfdkFdi7ZSe
836Please respect copyright.PENANAjWgQD3ssJM
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.836Please respect copyright.PENANAzD1mm3YahI
836Please respect copyright.PENANATcmscajgMz
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.836Please respect copyright.PENANAv4memA8NxF
836Please respect copyright.PENANAHv9smieE3E
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.836Please respect copyright.PENANAxcI1UQrPgW
836Please respect copyright.PENANANqdW10Juo2
"Jeremy?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAWq58GhkDZN
836Please respect copyright.PENANA85soQV8kK2
I shake my head, not believing.836Please respect copyright.PENANAtYBInL3qvP
836Please respect copyright.PENANAD2asgiKVak
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"836Please respect copyright.PENANAf48wlS8KlU
836Please respect copyright.PENANAotwtTTL3gK
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.836Please respect copyright.PENANA4WKmyS0Gx4
836Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9ib1LcSN7
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.PENANAvPJsOzirlL
836Please respect copyright.PENANA8MgIXBpzh1
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 836Please respect copyright.PENANA7kczpfx6Xt
836Please respect copyright.PENANAAxUNXQIpqo
