PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80veofTJP4
He's shaking underneath my grasp.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNUpqmhYuo
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYeTLkvxQw
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeSpTUh7HC
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeyRoCbcbK
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWmhxzPsp5
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqjoPPlHEK
I smile bitterly.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpuoZMb2rC
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJjrBXvN29
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntGBNKhElg
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBoq8hwJb5
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYa6QuynFT
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsp0LkGeGq
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQVZMLDjF0
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcbq1VRBDc
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIS1Ofh9je
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmx4rfGmvm
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6X1HDK96T
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TUUAv9Jwo
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cbmr8v5kj
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt33hZLf1n
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.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0FHSJ6J7A
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ZhDo7JoY
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCuEqsGU89
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeK1R56glu
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqkvQzUrsv
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTjKQRYkLW
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVVRSosvc8
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs1rRRAyuz
I must at all cost keep him awake.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVgIgt9uwS
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlk3R7JHml
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr8YeI8gLp
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgKqPWUPu5
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOAwX0rSpT
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvqBLivpvt
"Not that long baby I promise."819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGgl7crXjM
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEwsGfsoit
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtYAQl2qVc
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5qNtY5qNI
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv5ZL37pKi
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrSNJ2fZ0k
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCfzP9uZxo
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFURy0Yxilk
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhIiyjuxMB
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyrtvQMOoz
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQh0U6iKL2
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRb95fbyqS
I frown at him.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjsGqf6FT9
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tZHmEJTlY
"Don't say that."819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAPGcgFaUn
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NGxZGAfAz
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbaRPhIvTb
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvmhF2w7c0
I gasp.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0K94QHMdx
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTCSE8bxqt
"Jere stop!"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF60OsqZiLE
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdB6PwYQP2
He goes on.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd6NHiJVKn
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSkCgZWML
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDmi5xUJ7k
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGibsQQgAUc
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YvrSbbu9
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8OKbqRNlN
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO8DZvN4NQ
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHsFZnhsd
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4slbGv8ZYJ
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlG3UrYQzF
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTZGeSwJLO
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXNDAQv7eh
"I won't."819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RKpkYh6Qb
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ElSjGAuQ
He obeys, watching me soberly.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytLJulcnHg
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSkejfDIdB
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz69wBq8vkj
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8spbov12A
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Rbdrlggr
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DOqG1a8aH
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQILehKfOh
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpeZtmHblS
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B8GLx7zMQ
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60FgUqeRGp
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvyLBaajIv
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtsE3M15j4
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ030TfEBYSz
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhKsq1j4dj
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtpC2EWq5
He tries to nod but he can't.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZXY83sCbB
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm00XZfDsnA
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS9EBzSmUM
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oIroJCwT2
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsxfgFnBsD
He looks up into mine.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDqDUWu933
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCTRfYhxbL
"Don't leave me." He whispers.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHP9ndVI5Y
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao6qYCumM0
"Stay awake." I tell him.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKasUlF4jJ1
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDF68XVAUI
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr5Yqc21jV
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBoP45qzeR
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT7Y5fl6Mb
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxcIlrdP80
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hzOioETaq
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9pBj8wjRG
He doesn't reply.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAVtBs1NG0
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9orQvQleg4
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J0ejeHb10
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Umal7SzUg
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOP92ulHPE
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAxYdLqGyG
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR2KUWrONo
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5efwa8ZVYa
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEvZagP97F
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHwwFEHtOu
"Stay awake." I told him softly.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl1sOmQfcd
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3WSB0MYON
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDy7pjzpC
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG2cHNF36A
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX1BO9VssB
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwB4TFJpax
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NopcKgToS
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEmDmdXdN1
"Kiss me," he repeats.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6A7oGhD3M
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxDlXwkVaq
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctZ5y6LolR
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JOXD4MlaC
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g2iSZs2wj
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMvG79AKp5
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0FlEKzYCy
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQFdB2SL53
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y4W086TWq
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1WjrfLHsB
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwlr4uLCE9
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzkHbQyt3k
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaOEkcNdRY
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Iq6F89YXE
Electricity races through me and lingers.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F0xunmwHK
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjXr8M5OKm
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8DpVgfeCz
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHxnxwa1kg
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJqcSiPu3G
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfuzTucOa1
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2cFCZ0vvU
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4SC39LkJw
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcGo66nSk1
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYwAsZwBar
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4xxlldneD
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTTIzeORBX
"Jeremy?"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhkMuhAFHm
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe2v0kyjvg
I shake my head, not believing.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQuh2gBF4t
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgCT940UQQ
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87VuXI1AFp
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZZt4fDchR
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ386pEi9O8E
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrKiHDnjL9
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitSTHeUiYr
819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnTo3rs2Ne
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
