PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58M3yK6prf
He's shaking underneath my grasp.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdJCHsFvWy
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8DiJKejEC
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pFJN7l5kw
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeK5rN0Pu2
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxNuhMUUCU
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKZQ9cwKEV
I smile bitterly.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3syrP0Dhi
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9sbgka02A
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ckdHZMVW5
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtepZUTVeX
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2uh39Nwv4
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xTVJgVEQU
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzVVHziwd
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6zxFHvHaJ
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6XeGglFjo
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEYMe86d1u
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl4CqaTAnt
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIStl79YpK
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaparzyHpB
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhTf1ntH6
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.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspcPCSgdfQ
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNq3vCVMIH
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF25EqnuBa
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThhvIesSx7
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcR6eIKGm3
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffbXsyaphs
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsKOskNllW
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIGZuyKcAA
I must at all cost keep him awake.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljzlGOt7BN
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1LSvJoYBv
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV7qjfXTHT
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi810BQ83n
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74PkdDzy3q
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaqt2flI7a
"Not that long baby I promise."978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmnITX8Cp7
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmHhuistFl
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55I01wziGJ
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzDwF20hm1
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOrHWtwMxw
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYJ2uigqEl
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKvwQyFgyp
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFwhkceg0c
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1TZ4ma5T
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6BuFAfthl
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwkUWrJoDo
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZNAiIwjvB
I frown at him.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl7RE5j1b5
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw76dPgTdFG
"Don't say that."978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27xGCqaGoz
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkAFVwhPUu
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0X2QnoKtw
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQIfP92Cgb
I gasp.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HEqPvYOzn
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8gEt0oSfD
"Jere stop!"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19bQC6thLI
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX5YiXAlGz
He goes on.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekF7BNxh9b
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli7R3PMqwU
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeutOLk0cU
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmbvQrzmxb
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxSDpLVlcJ
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9cEH8Q4St
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1YUhWYb2y
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYrubn67MR
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3UiuU1tFK
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv41YJS247M
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewj8peiz8T
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepbJhyWy9D
"I won't."978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmCY5AGN8k
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSyHJF84Ku
He obeys, watching me soberly.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KqHlzdPCJ
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmLHpTdvLM
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKyynbXHD0
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYWIGQ0BsH
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XC0oFjzhk
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrgWonTE3z
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCyzN6xqnS
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVq2OZbOlP
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULbvpSKaMQ
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJveKNuPXE8
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTUsiDZ0kp
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FVD6ofAKn
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPtlEPd1h4
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt3Gg4y2Zu
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G56tqB1CQ
He tries to nod but he can't.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhpUr5cFJv
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ryFQVLRB
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLrDaYeORk
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU9JWD4Rfp
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0bl21me9C
He looks up into mine.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3X6DeDDxt
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMM1bZ3JSp
"Don't leave me." He whispers.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvL71wFp46
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmofbPvfvjo
"Stay awake." I tell him.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXVJXFD94R
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIWBBlbp6K
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrlRDMILkv
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yxt3QwWIO
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMqQW8Ob7
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ254juScuFL
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZciYTgeVH
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQfyUl6QcQ
He doesn't reply.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO6LVO71T6
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoZqM9t3Sd
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrjP2BWzrw
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMECmc08fT
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl2iI29A3v
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGaYc2FQj0
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsF9mNCKJ9
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyFOv2nP3s
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsKKV7RLRT
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69MpwQ64Ii
"Stay awake." I told him softly.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj193fCvSsQ
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaoUldz4Yj
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKweKgUkaZt
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrWCYZBCzL
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qmx3FjygT
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGSrBIkTSb
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhKIhCgLMS
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybchDc3QJt
"Kiss me," he repeats.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmsdH7K84q
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUukJ83T9N
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMx7vErxxL
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pP1GaOUPG
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNYWo7vdtM
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzy5oSgv97
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBxL6hbzru
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvxUIEXU0q
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4jYxBSEhW
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5CpR0DFwe
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsRJkeWUp1
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsIGp8QKOO
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MpGUsM5G
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrtu3akFv8
Electricity races through me and lingers.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsyCEJMJCM
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTdwb8AzSq
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy00vwbDEB4
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyp4TvtxEW
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk93Skjh8lq
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRbdrsutk7
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtelZVtD2Ch
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2YwOPu698
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTljv4JoLP
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGj8xaA74p
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8KmeomrUC
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10jX24i0b4
"Jeremy?"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA43pCQ6rv
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjQxCitsy7
I shake my head, not believing.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DrnAwBSsV
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn0d55fy2L
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsdISyPONL
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0knTPPCEF
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhbHmcwiqn
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Vycko4cg
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEQZQ9fchn
978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KAGgg790k
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
