I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.486Please respect copyright.PENANAtSRU0MLbWh
He's shaking underneath my grasp.486Please respect copyright.PENANAROy3eZ0UFo
486Please respect copyright.PENANAjQimj3SUuY
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.486Please respect copyright.PENANAKDsjclzWKb
486Please respect copyright.PENANAnnOMUkuXUm
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.486Please respect copyright.PENANAOSsNWjFJRy
486Please respect copyright.PENANAWvPz4dVj7f
I smile bitterly.486Please respect copyright.PENANAGcUbSuntHI
486Please respect copyright.PENANAGnnIJLIJF7
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.486Please respect copyright.PENANAbXQyEfnKzb
486Please respect copyright.PENANAq3u4Q5TcZq
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.486Please respect copyright.PENANApDANZ5gdpx
486Please respect copyright.PENANAkBtVG1kBYT
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.486Please respect copyright.PENANAFld4lrnkBu
486Please respect copyright.PENANAmOPqcEs3w0
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."486Please respect copyright.PENANAuNBY4cqJfx
486Please respect copyright.PENANAXX4xPEtFcc
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.486Please respect copyright.PENANAnReQTnqiHR
486Please respect copyright.PENANAH2d1eUriwp
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.486Please respect copyright.PENANAO0nTEKY0Hq
486Please respect copyright.PENANATk6DnZvZfT
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.486Please respect copyright.PENANAnl4s5WCtDZ
486Please respect copyright.PENANAdxpGIDCR2J
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.486Please respect copyright.PENANAv6bXmM6q2C
486Please respect copyright.PENANAFHjNjC8706
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.486Please respect copyright.PENANA2A09Tfp4eg
486Please respect copyright.PENANA9HkkC3WJYd
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.486Please respect copyright.PENANAZOfjO8cWPJ
486Please respect copyright.PENANANJEBzaRhba
I must at all cost keep him awake.486Please respect copyright.PENANAaPhr8FYmNe
486Please respect copyright.PENANAgwjsF7vL43
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"486Please respect copyright.PENANAOtCOD0gdvy
486Please respect copyright.PENANAGVgBaK8vWd
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.486Please respect copyright.PENANAAmBXekYSgw
486Please respect copyright.PENANAtpMOcCe7tj
"Not that long baby I promise."486Please respect copyright.PENANA0kkUnX20yY
486Please respect copyright.PENANAEZP2H9qDaW
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.486Please respect copyright.PENANAzPf38SOnVg
486Please respect copyright.PENANAPjJhS21IAd
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.486Please respect copyright.PENANAT0dq0n5bNK
486Please respect copyright.PENANA26m1A6i9Al
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.486Please respect copyright.PENANAk16RvrhrOq
486Please respect copyright.PENANA87S2eAtoZO
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.486Please respect copyright.PENANAvRwwCjHHlN
486Please respect copyright.PENANAqce2fBwJ9e
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.486Please respect copyright.PENANAqhzB8Ex8AV
486Please respect copyright.PENANAbLjZKy4pSn
I frown at him.486Please respect copyright.PENANASxT0GmL8iR
486Please respect copyright.PENANAsch2KaVHUf
"Don't say that."486Please respect copyright.PENANA4174NhCFHL
486Please respect copyright.PENANABIpti9bMWu
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.486Please respect copyright.PENANAdWlv2clnpR
486Please respect copyright.PENANAfCuyFYhPxU
I gasp.486Please respect copyright.PENANA5HwHEAaW98
486Please respect copyright.PENANAfemAfSfxYc
"Jere stop!"486Please respect copyright.PENANAV4lziO83pT
486Please respect copyright.PENANAWLbUuwPzfi
He goes on.486Please respect copyright.PENANASIOPE9pw9n
486Please respect copyright.PENANAth8KodumQh
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.486Please respect copyright.PENANA61tsqkSFVH
486Please respect copyright.PENANAujzqjRrqD3
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.486Please respect copyright.PENANAeBPO0nX11n
486Please respect copyright.PENANADHvOakgImZ
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"486Please respect copyright.PENANAXQGlfZsCY9
486Please respect copyright.PENANA87my4f6bEK
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.486Please respect copyright.PENANAyrgOvtDVKH
486Please respect copyright.PENANA1nuwbWx3TI
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.486Please respect copyright.PENANA4YyL4IBhGm
486Please respect copyright.PENANA62oqe7x9pv
"I won't."486Please respect copyright.PENANAOnJCp8GlqZ
486Please respect copyright.PENANASrX108fQ7R
He obeys, watching me soberly.486Please respect copyright.PENANAdv2GbVMTeB
486Please respect copyright.PENANAKsy7AG6QgL
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.486Please respect copyright.PENANAJEXnkIfaMF
486Please respect copyright.PENANAwVVGVXpLIK
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.486Please respect copyright.PENANARVUJ7jHQ14
486Please respect copyright.PENANAT6c0JLzeYu
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.486Please respect copyright.PENANAxmFzn8vC0g
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.486Please respect copyright.PENANAWJlIYLUoxF
486Please respect copyright.PENANAtOkw9ddSwf
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.486Please respect copyright.PENANAqPtN8g4jOP
486Please respect copyright.PENANAQvhrB8mru7
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.486Please respect copyright.PENANAKuBHRYej4G
486Please respect copyright.PENANAbGCoL87oZD
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"486Please respect copyright.PENANAKluBgW2bwb
486Please respect copyright.PENANAxpG9gFurP7
He tries to nod but he can't.486Please respect copyright.PENANAzLLGGLjdqF
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.486Please respect copyright.PENANAagUZChrxW9
486Please respect copyright.PENANAhscgcUuoYi
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.486Please respect copyright.PENANADe4jyajW0x
486Please respect copyright.PENANAPFDYfc5p5V
He looks up into mine.486Please respect copyright.PENANAviJsohoe3F
486Please respect copyright.PENANAtT3ghMSMRc
"Don't leave me." He whispers.486Please respect copyright.PENANAipPDl5uUqX
486Please respect copyright.PENANABZVE67FPpU
"Stay awake." I tell him.486Please respect copyright.PENANAWog7Cj43xU
486Please respect copyright.PENANAjvJOzYSqMt
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.486Please respect copyright.PENANAObtblqk4Js
486Please respect copyright.PENANA2OdVwKOrGi
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.486Please respect copyright.PENANA4gnCnGMxr7
486Please respect copyright.PENANAv2PMsd96EK
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"486Please respect copyright.PENANAJxpfWy5eKO
486Please respect copyright.PENANAt674C0gW8t
He doesn't reply.486Please respect copyright.PENANAgw3k0z7ypE
486Please respect copyright.PENANAvGpCqJa5ML
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.486Please respect copyright.PENANArLf7Dkj6o4
486Please respect copyright.PENANAXDc9xmtbtj
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.486Please respect copyright.PENANANzQJR2rByG
486Please respect copyright.PENANAYhMXWcHfSg
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"486Please respect copyright.PENANAHS3egsaVQr
486Please respect copyright.PENANA3AzArQh4tg
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.486Please respect copyright.PENANAHzAh4ZFDWd
486Please respect copyright.PENANAyZnOMhGfpx
"Stay awake." I told him softly.486Please respect copyright.PENANAZ09s2irA2u
486Please respect copyright.PENANACHzVWJh844
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.486Please respect copyright.PENANAQgmD2gXESC
486Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ8pOrlJUT
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.486Please respect copyright.PENANABAZlupkCA8
486Please respect copyright.PENANAHPAOnC5que
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.486Please respect copyright.PENANAxWMC13d3Dv
486Please respect copyright.PENANAPOjL3fYciq
"Kiss me," he repeats.486Please respect copyright.PENANAVk3Z7axjHU
486Please respect copyright.PENANAlPXbkcSWR0
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.486Please respect copyright.PENANAPfFpxd3fJ1
486Please respect copyright.PENANAsV6nfcY1LL
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.486Please respect copyright.PENANAsx5cFyrf7t
486Please respect copyright.PENANA4d8pENTuJ7
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.486Please respect copyright.PENANAHlQUSyhAML
486Please respect copyright.PENANAngpU0eOksY
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.486Please respect copyright.PENANAb8dDzgM7oU
486Please respect copyright.PENANALHpmTp5WRk
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.486Please respect copyright.PENANAuaibF3y0TL
486Please respect copyright.PENANA6yyFctxWA8
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.486Please respect copyright.PENANAV4dF32Hsws
486Please respect copyright.PENANAMYQALiuc99
Electricity races through me and lingers.486Please respect copyright.PENANAKWDKH7wPih
486Please respect copyright.PENANAGEmogZpfaB
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.486Please respect copyright.PENANAeXmc4QKbPz
486Please respect copyright.PENANAIfSNPNDHUV
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.486Please respect copyright.PENANALVEtpk6YVR
486Please respect copyright.PENANA1pinZuncTj
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.486Please respect copyright.PENANAH9H6nOWmvj
486Please respect copyright.PENANANlylR16xlv
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.486Please respect copyright.PENANAE8cBVB4LJu
486Please respect copyright.PENANAnmSpDnfFou
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.486Please respect copyright.PENANA4XV8fO7RKw
486Please respect copyright.PENANAE9rlS8HHod
"Jeremy?"486Please respect copyright.PENANAGuSdo4sKa5
486Please respect copyright.PENANApwKqpD0cbB
I shake my head, not believing.486Please respect copyright.PENANA9vg0a8lPvP
486Please respect copyright.PENANAcdp9oZOlqC
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"486Please respect copyright.PENANAfCPyuXM85u
486Please respect copyright.PENANAhXKumUeYWa
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.486Please respect copyright.PENANAXX2kGCQM5b
486Please respect copyright.PENANA78zVAGDJJ0
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.486Please respect copyright.PENANARuNOwTVbDX
486Please respect copyright.PENANAd8cqRg64C2
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 486Please respect copyright.PENANAhVwF1cSjBG
