PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlSJA3ebhg
He's shaking underneath my grasp.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrlXPyDse3
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVfuWVPcLj
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAq2FgWlvx
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HyHpvZtXf
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNRZm1WGiY
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFDFYVl9BT
I smile bitterly.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjopW6g59xe
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfm1qDZUZc
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtUvfgDfj2
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb5Jn4BY0b
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr3VLvKGAs
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0g5wF5hKK
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjPWvxmRAh
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj66pUFg0Sp
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hWibgMorP
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4psL8dYPW
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWjpWxNFXY
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwcTe1Hyrw
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aScu9TUOe
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT3g2V3HmN
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.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX8vBXTL76
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7pEMYAIIt
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucJhbUtYUY
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVKjxyGACx
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0rFJeKTro
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz75GNqty8
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0NI2IDAtZ
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJfpJ4iBI
I must at all cost keep him awake.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRccYWVLpf8
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOrc4xiMZ7
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJYSD2xLt
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcePgpMQOr
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5NHVOY9HK
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIIy6pnC7Q
"Not that long baby I promise."697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ok4Vi304
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6IYU049QY
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZXKXNi45K
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IUxOhjrzO
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkwMVi8A5h
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GsyOk8LEp
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO7UtFQTeC
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkght4D1lp
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S7CvbF291
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nv0mkiwBJ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNKo6vxQPr
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOelj6v7yP
I frown at him.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRbtvQDOei
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4ZZ4jSBD
"Don't say that."697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAF0VCAB4K
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgu5r545nr
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYogIIOQNg
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Ta4Wcyoq
I gasp.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYFmTBJyoS
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdpxHaKY1r
"Jere stop!"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjOusk50BN
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw6NrHRFmW
He goes on.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M3MT6Dz3N
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXxeo8aC39
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kpgOR5381
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSMCJsQJym
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyWv2G3J0F
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuiRwB1DR4
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFhQDO3kyq
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgrt1vcFb
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkCelserDg
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00H3cS9ygd
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡberNWsjLgh
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEULJx4LvY
"I won't."697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEXBPUSy7b
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraVPNzUCKV
He obeys, watching me soberly.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcug7S3hYG
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uXhgHFZJR
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT9AbN2VKe
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ATrJ0vn1
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5v5HxcVZg
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoV2B5uPIh
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHAWlw1sH1
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy9pLb1LuK
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNTmvkUrb
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7POiHYh1A
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTqqWPOH2Q
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZ8TBYVa5
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS0JCMxixC
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ32vuGrTYU
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBtz0dSRHk
He tries to nod but he can't.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g7n3WTc3H
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vhbkOEs21
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQCpJH5htt
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms93rGoQBN
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQC4funOd8
He looks up into mine.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLjSkTqCs4
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjAGDiSUhl
"Don't leave me." He whispers.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LOSwVFXgc
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ZueqABDc
"Stay awake." I tell him.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHoJ2ZyO4i
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4UPwBErF8
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfdwjoBO9L
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1oez4LJrZ
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTtjUAdN6H
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW6EWYtb7q
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3riqdGgBMM
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma5orqPV0f
He doesn't reply.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y3dcLPjT1
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bSADQAby3
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohnDRzluQT
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzekjY4W6a
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLr9oEUmWG
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9b5rrMPPk
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHZImRtDI
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SooFicLHl
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpx3zZaET9
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD3sNnfKoG
"Stay awake." I told him softly.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMUQhexWKz
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sB0to0CJI
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTHQl6B96v
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLsEFBKixc
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJq50JbgKT
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0R8JHxeqK
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5liJD5pjo
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYi7aN8Tjt
"Kiss me," he repeats.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcmWSwSSFE
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgKhCeEIT9
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c4Hw3BILP
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgnOuyGvYl
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rLFVNFsAy
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnIWBCZbam
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllPSQU6ZCW
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufHSlr3qql
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugemKGNPp
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO5WIEt5Tv
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48fFmOMZCZ
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLq5kgiSa3
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ZyR8H3mM
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF4mUlPPGo
Electricity races through me and lingers.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQJpnOGM50
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vsG1ToDv
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvXQjzq9nu
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jL8TpDKON
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9h7zigKEL
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL387nTgij
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsSCUgMOtE
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp79lTTXslK
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yKb8fJqnO
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfkOSdtRWq
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNzcUkCx9i
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDM8QIhxTA
"Jeremy?"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaAW4l0Fhe
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Imy7Glcv
I shake my head, not believing.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkHdEQX5XA
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mWkCYPJEt
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE314zmM0W
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9B2DqUi09
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTGnGTZM2Q
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceZvFaZF1a
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EjFb9vtVU
697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXFFjRWAHc
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
