PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk74ZD2ZZDJ
He's shaking underneath my grasp.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcmYFEoZfS
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDw5tLlrje
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlou2i49uiK
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAybA7zKyW
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVbE4CbrlA
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKQk03pdjl
I smile bitterly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb3TuAkuU8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XK4jHXzbW
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFO2sggYqh
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNctypMzkTZ
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZWdkNIUN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1AFW9VPLF
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMW15nQAU4
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhq99EuMfP
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAUIr00xqO
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RVYh5wTrE
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSqHrZRYSS
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQfNxwzw8f
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rQDVjvNa9
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfMn1wFQlo
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnXsTw8Txk
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nOXze5FwJ
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoEw1Iv1lz
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGDcDLNVnl
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyR4qdiiUD
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbY4QQzBJ6
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmWoxDmqg2
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO34o24Kco
I must at all cost keep him awake.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYqPDifT5
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNWtCvxgQh
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wscX1rBqg
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbM7cP5X6A
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHHZNe2iYk
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5YgdNWFEf
"Not that long baby I promise."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiq5Q6btgR
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lmKhyZC8K
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4AoSt2y5
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNJ80oVHm
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2er7U8VrE
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUlESa1jtm
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprNTUsi44Q
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTC6CcpLxx
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0aTzkWxkj
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6c3DLWOU5
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyWtKa20LX
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wG9wXYHMS
I frown at him.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRKucjLnKX
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboamKb5ppZ
"Don't say that."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihome5jIek
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc1TEvApQa
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSM6kN9mZX
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZkY9vftkA
I gasp.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFjGMUZh84
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CJx39v8R7
"Jere stop!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco5kHHZuDM
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbIdi9SxjM
He goes on.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvX6s5Fug0
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAKY3siXjk
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHjMNU4Zsm
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCuMOcRWFc
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx50xH36uwm
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmthEWKYhWP
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIRjCZcHi8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr96SJTbtZo
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU15hm4wazs
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRC6hpszpJ
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRtIkswPkR
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHVqDS4I8U
"I won't."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkXz3NlRca
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUXFyYgjq2
He obeys, watching me soberly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YC8Puhzzo
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDhQx67REA
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrc3nM4piC
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGHZgp9N5p
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvvXSBTDNf
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4gd6mImQD
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlICxMe9W1x
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVeQ9RqpcQ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FIJs5AJt4
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGkMhX3Bd4
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVUuWUfg32
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTu9PL64Qp
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LJoGrAS95
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSdKkQ2M2G
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyHxGZULX0
He tries to nod but he can't.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FU09os6ps
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNHP35QoPN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8fEUmgZJT
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHxWiHX61T
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcsef8Gthg
He looks up into mine.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxFZwffZoh
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROC0adYwxM
"Don't leave me." He whispers.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzeqpLAyju
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNOvUanIkR
"Stay awake." I tell him.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxkr6qYSEq
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1LFtR3LaP
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEWd4FzALU
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fejcoWAH4
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA40UplkrN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j8twTiOTe
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5l9DVIYDQ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIhNntlTIV
He doesn't reply.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpFk00QScJ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEYlLf2c31
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfyq3Cg8iL
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD9PR5wDQs
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUVxDcMu7s
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZFEqC2BWP
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c73zTT6zM
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3EQmI93Rh
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrAH0x77Ks
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHgNEgiMOL
"Stay awake." I told him softly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU1H0wKCoF
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1KRuK9GLY
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLvhILvk7n
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEOI7UEd5K
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38bR4KAMxT
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAaaQdbpN1
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0k07GoiH9
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpZI8bCOAU
"Kiss me," he repeats.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw88SibIvx
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBEq7YeJTB
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33FQzbqjbl
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiuCcgusRd
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiQPhHlvBo
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFs4AkXv4G
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54iaEZ8cS9
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5p3sck0hR
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6dubPJYck
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyprsYWYYYj
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDe99mV4sv
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzb8wXjrSN
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2hRuMykY6
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANDrtQIXhu
Electricity races through me and lingers.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1eDXGcbC
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7MYOkUAyd
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5HgZLnd8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdMHEzFlz9
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4D9MPkSK
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiyOUcfJGF
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzCh3KMXza
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaZnSSf9DO
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxjxvgL9OB
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNPfgJMA1G
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ828CUrV1h2
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiquOuEqdGO
"Jeremy?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7bUyC4o52
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw7BR3n0l1
I shake my head, not believing.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9w8b8RnCY
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy6G8oPuJf
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3yqmWlOrM
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4gyOUmxkV
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxYl5bsh2P
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVV1IT70oS
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmVBZxfPGN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l0ucmwMoQ
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
