PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6jd9AQxSu
He's shaking underneath my grasp.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6K7S5qv9z
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe8QIUbP01
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtUVJ3gTW0
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uCTDfmeWY
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnBgAztz1j
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ35I4vF7aQ
I smile bitterly.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GSKwDrHZb
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU2d35u30q
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajYl6EF2A
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVVCQVnGKp
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEcsJCd2QE
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta7nWPGi7a
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdAE3mfSla
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLqPM0Gq9c
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxAwCYiqyQ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR8nK6uxI1
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpNucWwqR4
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmYZc2wpjv
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB6mVXOek2
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslEXWwqU8F
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r0spdapWa
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2deUQJQlfZ
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIBSVjximj
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZgxL9BExA
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdloXbXm4d
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFeyXDMxeL
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi17mYjkM6
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSLqfUuHRb
I must at all cost keep him awake.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmyMD2F89z
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D9f7kZM78
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJnAZVsNl9
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4s4cgOJJ4
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FrjRPDK93
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPLB41wEQl
"Not that long baby I promise."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYMzS0ybHs
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi8bGFAtkj
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIf8qUt0mO
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWJFFta9Qo
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO20gHtMgj
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Jn400eu1
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzZs45JIpn
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnYCPKjT9m
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlcL04MNfZ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBssCMoz3gd
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFGRCtF2fN
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA62CdR0eLr
I frown at him.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdFB5oboyy
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Zr12fc11
"Don't say that."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoioNLzr4lc
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VVuRcXSh3
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE4uktAopk
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7QW8a90Dr
I gasp.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4BaL0gGOh
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQPhoSdM6e
"Jere stop!"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAapO9vruI
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvwhUNYL32
He goes on.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1PNILMP1Q
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc17ZSo5POl
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYgctL2w1
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVsb8z6kNx
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFv20IxOzf
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeffYDMsuc
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsQ0XUBRFy
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy0cugR21J
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH0v7cJndN
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JPrrmjglL
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EijWaKDWu
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHrPyfherD
"I won't."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YskewG9wh
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Qa7I2flr
He obeys, watching me soberly.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjLI8yX3t
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8W4aythbc
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA5HimaglT
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3LaABqWLO
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGfyH8xBy
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXHGMxQ7DP
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQbT0e0sWM
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ub2lKkGhI
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcJ8frKyes
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7SOLAgh0O
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghkWQRhdHu
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aoex5aHTa
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlHkUwMajI
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CHjvkSZzE
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTLwxmC2T2
He tries to nod but he can't.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpkLiw6WEQ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Wi33Sexa
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfteAus3YsH
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhkBrZg4QK
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNiiYlZcV2
He looks up into mine.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws2XJmhGUa
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoYVb7QWGf
"Don't leave me." He whispers.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQZLL2CmV
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt3yTJrA9U
"Stay awake." I tell him.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr5io29ZRs
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtAuuy0H2s
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4yP5VO78z
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNY5pFsYld
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcp642AkiG
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoNnplAksE
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxkn3bgCOH
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQULmyXDLod
He doesn't reply.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2mrVmTGi2
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oz4FGndb9
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAE4QwFq1J
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgprYjnOLW
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPFyXHPKaY
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZobWH74HwM
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD36JrgIC0K
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3z6NF8cQa
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lss9ljiwe
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyNqt7zCNR
"Stay awake." I told him softly.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY0as5bvwi
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bcvl8504I
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaccW9oze5w
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WTGAXA1fr
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65pAitHnrt
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvruzbKhBp
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f3Klnr43b
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsDOslqiak
"Kiss me," he repeats.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQhy9aBUY1
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FvwMcpIvt
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCIbo9RmwM
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O8ycNOruB
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIf1RpmXFl
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpiCEB3C4Q
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I1he1DR2F
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdteUwDdSfP
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuyzgJYz4k
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9szm9sPqn
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rWyCowYO
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdJRHqG64i
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz4WV8A9En
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGs9Cklugi
Electricity races through me and lingers.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFXX7TzZyu
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4N4fwYbAh
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz44WQPcH6
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uglYmuUWM
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltMVDyYCYH
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtJ33Lquk6
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KOLUYWMnx
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx22ISP4PJz
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM1W8tSEqk
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mysXNkP1S
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ5kWDd6pW
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEYIdxBJd0
"Jeremy?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAjDwj5eQ
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNQXr9YVbq
I shake my head, not believing.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlzozJS1Ny
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryHhWIt19L
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLFlhFp7jF
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznC6xnVGdb
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QYicuJm3J
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5KJUcVXcB
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ALiWXHl5
835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kTDoNl0BH
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
