PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RxZfTgdsQ
He's shaking underneath my grasp.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxbvXV57sw
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0fdA1WjT0
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4iX7lpbaS
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSahQgKHy
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRXuo76IXS
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs4tLG6sO1
I smile bitterly.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K9c2LBUWh
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTpsOr63g2
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpWgomfmdo
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOlkmtaJ6M
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l618WUwbw
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiYMYqsOS9
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gdpLXVEXq
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQZ5dXtPR0
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflxCKsEVvv
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc4UviXeJH
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTztUanBKR
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0BPC0f0aB
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs7xWZSk2w
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6E7mM1VRd
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.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1mVcE4scf
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPUiqbTG3z
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAcZDykPz9
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECwRuuKZ3I
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXvSJ7TwAa
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51CPQ3027G
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDUEeI3gmR
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6udmU2miE
I must at all cost keep him awake.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9te5y9gvo
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZJWg5DhgL
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFk02YfZof
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6kf3eKgxs
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKg2OPdvPG
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUmAm6sF4l
"Not that long baby I promise."781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfmnOUsKkc
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OYinoE1xC
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrxtbUlRup
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8UpKbbRBq
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpqG1xxMBo
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwekwM4x8K
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkVYCNj7iD
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0IKjrHAw0
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4wkefDdxV
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOgiHCVLDk
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEd1pDuZiB
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8yL4DixL3
I frown at him.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFYGyXHmNf
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXMnqgPShg
"Don't say that."781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdon4biL7Vb
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jruiyTGh9
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNjWaIr4o3
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W3cDW28ei
I gasp.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yM9rLvVep
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Q1rQg0JT
"Jere stop!"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNweR2Je6yX
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCxpSXm2ha
He goes on.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz4d5UdIrC
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqGvc7ACM
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fh8x51ImQ
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtxmuIKhmY
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28k7xT1MyD
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm42SZS5WFI
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5wRgREKct
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM5wO2nAVO
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ASHoCnMq
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68vYhzSMij
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ9mctQ0pE
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzg1YtIb2H
"I won't."781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm41tvGL3fB
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuIgKUJBwB
He obeys, watching me soberly.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcQcpwZaEr
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpg1lUIVN5
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnNY2ub2Le
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0s9pgxiqM
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYOQz58gI
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIAxPt9zGK
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuSJpk9uKO
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5EJw4wGiP
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15dKuMdjxC
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmarFAXVw2
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbhXkaBvA9
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7LHVeQKbt
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB2fmyjGxP
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr7Ynj0nwL
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3wZ3sO3YY
He tries to nod but he can't.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntpaQQhaqF
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK1hsU4J1o
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TCztRHSk0
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgTpXhEZt1
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr2kTBn0FV
He looks up into mine.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmIN00wyji
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHQ9TF6RA3
"Don't leave me." He whispers.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQn84LMTfy
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd4V8AhV8U
"Stay awake." I tell him.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyAgmbNhkX
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx202tvcqZ8
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yLn2nwnYt
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxW2YUw7I
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3erroy5R7J
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURDlawUPfH
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFX7TIyqx4
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbriqSOq5N
He doesn't reply.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKt59NHuY6
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy5GS0cORa
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3UaIhFnGR
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62NQdDMLh7
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyaGYQBt0F
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUiBR2XeKS
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6953l0cwpK
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3pCfFgU83
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29NeBjDfEU
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeg38cDDtp
"Stay awake." I told him softly.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypGfIjU5hX
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCfxre52Eg
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1qOLypX4q
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eIaEPn2zt
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtROKDHEGrP
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFNtcsXEuo
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmvJfZJHVe
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYlf7YrdpH
"Kiss me," he repeats.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr8LpQlCsp
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoLR9m6Cvs
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwv3HiXkb9
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHYbYR7CLx
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5PcExByYV
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjY6fqsZqK
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoHClvCyzc
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlLpUIUi5P
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ti1UURgev
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrsJCwgTUq
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo27jWEVOkS
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffKXQ289uK
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XqWGKaIvU
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdVOp6gkz1
Electricity races through me and lingers.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5WNyjZKxq
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzx9yNJuPG
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9q8Pv1EQU
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyUNy3dDDn
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OTBqDlswL
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8AeJaJzg7
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAER5IXE75
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxcEJtj3dl
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YY5RjGlAB
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sUbN8VOBP
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOcKjmXS7
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXfrUIJGaK
"Jeremy?"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRn2wEIdKY
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkphefG9Vz
I shake my head, not believing.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx3MwyJwDA
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6yujlAWcR
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRhMx9j18e
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5RBvak31J
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T6SR6JkAT
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO8h3lXsZE
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5pwNZ8DGJ
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6lv0FPVAc
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
