PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfGdVCh3QP
He's shaking underneath my grasp.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrKIBSn8B1
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKmyE0PWpZ
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f5rZX4EAQ
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0RUIpLJRs
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCVOLWj4Nj
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtG3I3jd0F
I smile bitterly.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR7JVkmHYh
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVZtDcXlIh
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMFwA4RJuM
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5NNOj23dI
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyOp4NWAX6
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N9WHzTqyu
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBBsy9Amdp
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNqKY6Vx6N
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfUsXvlHIC
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3hym8nV5U
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRNrK5OD4B
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43K0InxwPO
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVyDqrrAfe
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYxB0qeNJb
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.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMZToWvOBr
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbrF3gAcuq
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85yvBsu7BI
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzE5m8ulEO
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEgLBLwFSj
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5vdwrkZ9w
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWLDqa6Nc0
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dzaNnkhCy
I must at all cost keep him awake.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCwSAGEpND
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf8hAXaD6f
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV1bvWvTkT
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zOo6lOwvA
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnISGu194rY
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrshutOlObs
"Not that long baby I promise."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pgqO7rFJ7
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAmJwbGyN1
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8BO78sWRn
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdvmgHGYP9
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgP8nRj601
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pVcVKmqAL
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wnXcG2FDi
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAxhIG9z3c
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjcUtGRdug
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLg1c8QgxL
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5juRQWLPs
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpL4u7lOTS
I frown at him.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6h7dsXGbq
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3wOLCrVZv
"Don't say that."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlck4VGNJpI
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cxYKGldot
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs5ItomMEF
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDyCQctesA
I gasp.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk668weiu6O
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLILPpoODH
"Jere stop!"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEzpvRle70
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4eg3peg6G
He goes on.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbnCOoNia4
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOKlb7dxE2
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIvN1bxK89
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Oef9uqew
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspj2uvJcoJ
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNddkG4LaDg
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUZdyAkaGc
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts8lmlkQVD
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguagWxCC1e
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQTJ8MJlJH
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeK5zl5f19
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T051zU7IS
"I won't."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDUsRqtICl
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJElMTPQY
He obeys, watching me soberly.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa6YiHnk4y
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC3tM7vuIU
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrJt6XYNuX
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3RevqWlak
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbMdtuzKI
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5lZqgNOwS
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89eG9G1NYW
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIGgsVukuy
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJiXawQRZ9
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12cZfVrHwJ
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM9cyaCnRT
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C6JCtADmp
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3296p1lNLl
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxcz8sCwUJ
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tJP2VCNPZ
He tries to nod but he can't.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wMGz5vfKt
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZGxNmfnMO
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqKqh4DOaM
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02v4JH9eWI
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGflCIjxHq
He looks up into mine.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUypvlrl7z
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNLuY3Ytbk
"Don't leave me." He whispers.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNrZ1xbNRV
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRd6TGcfQ3
"Stay awake." I tell him.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLHVLKNR9Q
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7eYUQfBuq
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfoKFD9OnJ
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1Sol0HgB
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi5QIsCI3x
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrNXTofG3W
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bb3lQoqBp
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhfcsrHrKv
He doesn't reply.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpHJMslNP2
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx79C4JFlON
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX5rrEqWm0
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxBvwoUjlu
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Is5gg0uU
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7gu5cvps1
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcTnagt9i
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbZnqgsFpd
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ogsdrz8A
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjA83gkn89
"Stay awake." I told him softly.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdUKPgxhB8
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatreqtwR0Q
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAHgrIfqor
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSqHUkmI6Y
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1PVSdWQlM
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRCQfyv0ho
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKa9Th5uui
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MLqj5US25
"Kiss me," he repeats.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3ssnA4s2C
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YnyQhai2X
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rsLSIh67
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhOtxDahAk
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSjDXllAqd
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiaBd85KrX
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx5IlAYYFk
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF6sLdIC1s
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcpEY5yb1S
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4hkxWxb6B
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bS8z1vBc
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TaneMle51
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSiDVD1seh
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjmSw1dUBH
Electricity races through me and lingers.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrnFc7Guk9
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMI4lPpsP
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbTz565jZR
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfmmVeJEvs
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9HFKTcLXv
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg9Hd0YW35
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsTs8bmjUb
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoi3eWoC9Z
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVDwk3QV9J
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7hcoldCbk
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrPqbztOce
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVljIBVDEu4
"Jeremy?"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0zfiLcVkj
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtykrlnM5k
I shake my head, not believing.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk6r8n1Evz
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB0MZYCgCJ
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N7CR32Z5r
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDIdpi5aFn
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Ay58CKqB
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJupus9a75G
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQuWHmK3PF
732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeAQ4SF4on
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
