PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVcbdXwm00
He's shaking underneath my grasp.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eeT8oPUWz
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8QKOKt3X1
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrn9OeyksS
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWkZTZROBn
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOBCCe6VLw
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH1EQrO9ii
I smile bitterly.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8C9JgNmmT
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfomotiyFr
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqlzSaZ9Es
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfr1qLPLCu
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9a7ejyUz7
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr51Moe3nQ
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFq25q1NrR
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdVkDNwgNM
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NzuQ8gs2o
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbXBZnRwx
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHFcsKbRzz
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNXsRo4WVh
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD1BeSU7Rw
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbksifxYJ9
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.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhjlTHSx00
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpek3cCE85
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ePzBBKFjo
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrLcWaQpS2
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilcS1exioP
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR8waIksSx
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25amxvs0Vq
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXXxJlzjbM
I must at all cost keep him awake.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4SVeQ2dvI
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwph0e72DZ
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddpAgPHqQu
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z1Kw8iNg6
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV4sigTBqt
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2cWvN79mk
"Not that long baby I promise."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L0fMseiW6
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYpr5OFIMT
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ8TYKMylc
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR9kLGGO9F
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwba03T8Dg
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSFFusB42k
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlrmwXunKT
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oLExW8I0Q
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ3TSi4sAk
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoD1WbdL1Z
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbrw5oyBse
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oZPRsk8Vv
I frown at him.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGeTcMwbDR
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsfCmMB6OU
"Don't say that."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP2ay70JMG
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWLznULa3w
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckGet45xgM
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qRCOzKLhd
I gasp.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNqNBRELnU
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzkxPD0nl3
"Jere stop!"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuATWXsf9O
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaemI9c3Ooc
He goes on.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQatLE3dZcZ
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdZfvgmbYY
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWKSHOxdqP
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2NZOmoSsV
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA65I24UKHP
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0b5s3MiTD
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jhe8cbKDO
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DzPASeQ7P
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jmokuaVp9
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5qAP64zjn
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uy8anQk0B
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX2KVpUhHp
"I won't."950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEAfekp6Ir
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ27WxnJ0hw
He obeys, watching me soberly.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVnK7eQNeW
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIRNZJ0SVP
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHlZMOLfk6
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rgQeo6qNq
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HZvfH03Zh
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQyiXPqMRG
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVlUeFKJyX
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYz5x3cubo
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyERmcrx3D
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bJ0rH7RLJ
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiwx6TOWie
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAlqGzNerI
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXy32yyrIf
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslk2c3XBU7
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrFcSOPCUf
He tries to nod but he can't.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjsD64oWzD
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXKFXWzWsb
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv8kadlILU
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeCEIboSB6
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiloNPioCr
He looks up into mine.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmafwf6XYk
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aku2a38B6
"Don't leave me." He whispers.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV2iGifcuQ
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrqbpqtb72
"Stay awake." I tell him.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyZgBgSFtM
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcVHv5JPhu
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpE1kNqxMG
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFqMILWn2T
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5FGpFT0so
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz8yZK75H5
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMM10xvTW5
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1BHAOgBYn
He doesn't reply.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yplEScR3b
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHHBcQHf1M
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUltiw40PH
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mAZRNcKr7
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pFL8wyHmY
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpPEDa2PNw
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76wWyNgO1t
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTuZiQun0p
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7erOfww3K
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5KCMhxsUY
"Stay awake." I told him softly.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0qxfCifDl
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7I6Va3DdG
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBUu1oUwdY
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUtG00y3W8
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW4UomI1o0
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ZGgpG3cF
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe7le4Zf11
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbYo4Ycsbx
"Kiss me," he repeats.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6f1PJvFJY
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6zSWgWv7v
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OJXp6MasR
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaARz3glH4A
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIrDRCi51L
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrAGGLAMiO
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nphygMOX0
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTyBmawN1c
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByYWzWvY2G
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UKCQObf1N
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXiIXTnJXO
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mwd9Kyb8k
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpmHvyo3Hu
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5HE6rYRM3
Electricity races through me and lingers.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d8Hizekjs
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ41W5v4S6
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMrC4dAHMd
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRLRm9sBaq
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcjB9Wh7wz
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2iadejoCq
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6dHFzNlcN
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8A3VLrsHB
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKURqtpq2J
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNb0WNMcu5
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADHMvdpc1D
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpTWvhGPGo
"Jeremy?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD7GRJGdFr
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUAdckZ3v3
I shake my head, not believing.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bQ0cheLl4
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyknPuBP6Q
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsyTWpFxu6
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zyFmOKfG
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJisGpeEot
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bIPf0qyBu
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ988eAC1bhn
950Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUyHmd6bpq
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
