I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.506Please respect copyright.PENANAU8GKEQvzJd
He's shaking underneath my grasp.506Please respect copyright.PENANAWt0ttXFmeR
506Please respect copyright.PENANAodAMolhPyH
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.506Please respect copyright.PENANATTL0nvjLsN
506Please respect copyright.PENANATRtKFld05i
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.506Please respect copyright.PENANALsozHIBwAQ
506Please respect copyright.PENANA5IaZA1U6rS
I smile bitterly.506Please respect copyright.PENANAZPKikbMK16
506Please respect copyright.PENANAVPEco9oF9K
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.506Please respect copyright.PENANArQM4KzSFzc
506Please respect copyright.PENANAaX0jVg3Pug
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.506Please respect copyright.PENANAL543ipSICr
506Please respect copyright.PENANAj1gtOxXtXs
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.506Please respect copyright.PENANA0jITZjCa4t
506Please respect copyright.PENANA2psXOwGZJP
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."506Please respect copyright.PENANA40zpqQOFB6
506Please respect copyright.PENANAhnvQtXBlJ4
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.506Please respect copyright.PENANA59jkWFSFMn
506Please respect copyright.PENANApu6oLCHTsX
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.506Please respect copyright.PENANAJxUxjC3Mrj
506Please respect copyright.PENANAHzo08aljKT
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.506Please respect copyright.PENANAhdGU4gjqE0
506Please respect copyright.PENANA4YcGj2yLVV
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.506Please respect copyright.PENANAoHt73LKniQ
506Please respect copyright.PENANARuXLWCzNSF
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.506Please respect copyright.PENANAvJZ01ikwQS
506Please respect copyright.PENANARrNgXZgch6
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.506Please respect copyright.PENANAnvP2nj0Eti
506Please respect copyright.PENANAE0eG2fiOhp
I must at all cost keep him awake.506Please respect copyright.PENANAkkxQgWdZ5D
506Please respect copyright.PENANAvO3DIjwVQv
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"506Please respect copyright.PENANArITIckYmYR
506Please respect copyright.PENANAgsrkSN8bAq
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.506Please respect copyright.PENANABgNTUBkJhF
506Please respect copyright.PENANASppzTNGtuU
"Not that long baby I promise."506Please respect copyright.PENANA3OUNencCQq
506Please respect copyright.PENANAnzamByYQIf
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.506Please respect copyright.PENANA7ORBHqzCKp
506Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jc9Hld9KO
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.506Please respect copyright.PENANAKSv7mMYvx6
506Please respect copyright.PENANAAyV9Ryq7IH
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.506Please respect copyright.PENANAbdoeSqPpvL
506Please respect copyright.PENANAgf2XM8PQKx
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.506Please respect copyright.PENANAAMiG6SsS2X
506Please respect copyright.PENANAbOcUhEZdJZ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.506Please respect copyright.PENANAh6oOpSDmNi
506Please respect copyright.PENANAJVVRLdAw71
I frown at him.506Please respect copyright.PENANAbIDzcKNDAx
506Please respect copyright.PENANABpFtqx8lnZ
"Don't say that."506Please respect copyright.PENANAJNdBNwIXmn
506Please respect copyright.PENANAI9tu3G6M73
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.506Please respect copyright.PENANAhjQHL3NtwH
506Please respect copyright.PENANA6BelLDXp9J
I gasp.506Please respect copyright.PENANAy0EwkZFH5Z
506Please respect copyright.PENANAjlW13wCDU0
"Jere stop!"506Please respect copyright.PENANAlB9wCNKY2G
506Please respect copyright.PENANAf3I4MGCgn0
He goes on.506Please respect copyright.PENANA4wHHpdNVSp
506Please respect copyright.PENANA7OzTIyC8qo
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.506Please respect copyright.PENANAp0xxMuHBxV
506Please respect copyright.PENANAoT34B6xTD9
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.506Please respect copyright.PENANAtjfhsoXAGO
506Please respect copyright.PENANA3wJjD4twC3
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"506Please respect copyright.PENANAKE3YxvsBpf
506Please respect copyright.PENANArRisK71dht
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.506Please respect copyright.PENANAXhYg2mQnzT
506Please respect copyright.PENANAieENRaGSVA
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.506Please respect copyright.PENANACANczqjawH
506Please respect copyright.PENANAdAC2pWwsud
"I won't."506Please respect copyright.PENANAamDFHhcedM
506Please respect copyright.PENANA32ySNZRCTr
He obeys, watching me soberly.506Please respect copyright.PENANAIvc0u1CvPJ
506Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mr9LiislZ
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.506Please respect copyright.PENANAzPIVWaJndI
506Please respect copyright.PENANA7FFyUd88lI
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.506Please respect copyright.PENANAVGGNMqbx3x
506Please respect copyright.PENANAW71xVarwFk
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.506Please respect copyright.PENANAJk4XuuUNul
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.506Please respect copyright.PENANAjFYGcI7BTk
506Please respect copyright.PENANAM9MR9VhJJB
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.506Please respect copyright.PENANA8W33s7B255
506Please respect copyright.PENANA6GCjJm1qvu
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.506Please respect copyright.PENANAE9F7DhV0jW
506Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Tcx1Jwn7
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAcWl2c6MuiY
506Please respect copyright.PENANADivIV5wC5x
He tries to nod but he can't.506Please respect copyright.PENANAbgIKgYgu2M
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.506Please respect copyright.PENANAJoFaeYCFiV
506Please respect copyright.PENANALci5vzD2xw
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.506Please respect copyright.PENANA7dUrm8QH9G
506Please respect copyright.PENANAUtvXTZy1Om
He looks up into mine.506Please respect copyright.PENANAoW7OwGrDhL
506Please respect copyright.PENANA0SHvqpFRYz
"Don't leave me." He whispers.506Please respect copyright.PENANAgxRCdSsLwb
506Please respect copyright.PENANA9OHuLQemf0
"Stay awake." I tell him.506Please respect copyright.PENANAm8QJJqW8uM
506Please respect copyright.PENANATpQDPzUFDP
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.506Please respect copyright.PENANAymmzD8oxR8
506Please respect copyright.PENANAON0UcbxJJl
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.506Please respect copyright.PENANAXulGccg6ys
506Please respect copyright.PENANAljpatT7JwP
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAO3XChvvJO7
506Please respect copyright.PENANAvZAoNymt3D
He doesn't reply.506Please respect copyright.PENANAZAVuahoeg7
506Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZHklqrMw0
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.506Please respect copyright.PENANAULdRjLCd0N
506Please respect copyright.PENANArg079sAITT
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.506Please respect copyright.PENANAJRkv597RLT
506Please respect copyright.PENANAigauZMjHEW
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"506Please respect copyright.PENANAOq68FzvvsM
506Please respect copyright.PENANA3itLquWixh
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.506Please respect copyright.PENANArTidnd9tww
506Please respect copyright.PENANArMNCa4KH4U
"Stay awake." I told him softly.506Please respect copyright.PENANAwH7mVqObCu
506Please respect copyright.PENANAD7A2D4y9KS
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.506Please respect copyright.PENANAU6J9nC6b2u
506Please respect copyright.PENANAmTU6f2dbmf
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.506Please respect copyright.PENANA4TwfyBB4lp
506Please respect copyright.PENANAES8CrlKhiv
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.506Please respect copyright.PENANAWXQ9xz7tEa
506Please respect copyright.PENANAYyX4RQcevo
"Kiss me," he repeats.506Please respect copyright.PENANAvXpsXRrBeB
506Please respect copyright.PENANA7811LMHvNK
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.506Please respect copyright.PENANAIonc7BB8rK
506Please respect copyright.PENANA3WUNZ2nEvO
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.506Please respect copyright.PENANA3dWL1dvQOp
506Please respect copyright.PENANAyVCZDmnxGV
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.506Please respect copyright.PENANAduK2Z5lFWO
506Please respect copyright.PENANAHs9i1xW1Kk
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.506Please respect copyright.PENANASTOZZODshf
506Please respect copyright.PENANAN38GdDfR13
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.506Please respect copyright.PENANA1eAj2TKE2M
506Please respect copyright.PENANAVbIysXOXc7
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.506Please respect copyright.PENANAQcGF2jIPMc
506Please respect copyright.PENANA7iCME6abrd
Electricity races through me and lingers.506Please respect copyright.PENANA9mHQAq0Mai
506Please respect copyright.PENANA2DaxtmTjdW
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.506Please respect copyright.PENANAM4MKw1zcLD
506Please respect copyright.PENANAG3vuKNB7Fo
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.506Please respect copyright.PENANAb6gjLJze1A
506Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ4d01PqVV
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.506Please respect copyright.PENANAuBTUTI7GjZ
506Please respect copyright.PENANARF9KcLy7d5
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.506Please respect copyright.PENANAho2jVBtqvN
506Please respect copyright.PENANAgd2thJUkz7
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.506Please respect copyright.PENANAfiUMT0gDK7
506Please respect copyright.PENANAyytdaqWO3M
"Jeremy?"506Please respect copyright.PENANACZjzhOYrqX
506Please respect copyright.PENANAyqStSZ0DJW
I shake my head, not believing.506Please respect copyright.PENANAFxX95SPMgD
506Please respect copyright.PENANAOxy4tNJnsT
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"506Please respect copyright.PENANAWsELbjqlV2
506Please respect copyright.PENANAf6A6cr6bOA
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.506Please respect copyright.PENANABoFh5oc5Ab
506Please respect copyright.PENANAfK827qGlK4
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.506Please respect copyright.PENANAtUH06aDza9
506Please respect copyright.PENANATIWFna2Y8o
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 506Please respect copyright.PENANAjVFVfy0Kfy
