PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyPjskU2z
He's shaking underneath my grasp.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVPw0gGXgo
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZQiR6CjHj
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7427vZDIr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTzZZ5ii5h
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk47VI6ZT9
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxSU7PdrXo
I smile bitterly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r1xO7u53W
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ2olVsG1X
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQQqd4j6d1
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb2zBrQV0f
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlDjHznG8j
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadJZYiOjsl
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5sgwerRvf
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JltWPAzpX
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtQ7SEMHQ8
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe14bypKmeS
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd8Dcdcxqi
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMiDIDyp3
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zybaIyAzT
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTHfQ6qRH
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.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pplvq3rSq
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuId9m57Vfg
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP0xxXVbbp
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYT47uGhF7
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaSd9OlK4c
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP56mfBa53b
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIJoEsQJqq
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S0uZN67xw
I must at all cost keep him awake.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H0FRHIh7u
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQECphiOWx5
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4e8OeDCwP
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcVobPPOPt
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN5DUmsIJa
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0LVlXrALR
"Not that long baby I promise."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoclCuBqlJ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YghwgpohN
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9kFnZng7y
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBufkuvDNLG
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGSr6va6Yr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCBvEHouMx
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ714YCYWz4L
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqezpORAvd
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzg7tkGdwG
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qCQtaQwKx
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQGqsW1Ln6
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2jEXw2XM7
I frown at him.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQbXXO8fW4
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rwRbCzfpZ
"Don't say that."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UdDezebFB
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC77FV5nF81
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6kLP2U0Sq
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXSxaPY2cl
I gasp.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjCG9MgeOb
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86G4cH2C8v
"Jere stop!"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffjJUrSpIT
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80uc2WVYVX
He goes on.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22A5pjhLvp
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pRsoHWzsV
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai2nVfqMei
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qWnsJ6cKD
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeckDP6WcJP
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcKk6XeiaP
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IovCzLTIT
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXJy9f0ta3
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8HARP18LH
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbrCY0VMUI
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWVvBpoD4M
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdyjfPFisi
"I won't."801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfDCFhucRR
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSPOgRAI03
He obeys, watching me soberly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQgIrxUP1
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsTHGFrvKt
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc0V76fkAJ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVzT51VKsZ
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUJYp9aBZZ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnxO7LxXnV
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC5xIgRmZh
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguR0pHBCoA
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2NxWX3hYH
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzjLuYivjF
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDUTXGx02C
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONb2rVBqQ7
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU6pdNCbhZ
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhMPbBCZjS
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlimnTqSWGU
He tries to nod but he can't.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSOZg01cZZ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx7kmWcPIp
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QewdaSW3P
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZSjk3ZpVR
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQduQo9sPjP
He looks up into mine.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8p6bTmnii
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM445blZYv
"Don't leave me." He whispers.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqvFT27Nlp
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9x3tAayht
"Stay awake." I tell him.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxpmz1O0Q9
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt9BOvATnD
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8fwibToe2
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOuJmAZ98D
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6UoNSDBIn
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNPU5gQNzc
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7R838xoxk
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS805lWYX7h
He doesn't reply.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqGQwU1Yqm
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLbNgVhDwl
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9yXytKPb4
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCo0iyfm0R
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnffSnBtXe
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25TZbhk0Co
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzRv0iXD2
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluw0omAZe4
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHBmCm1cNQ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgWIM09bA4
"Stay awake." I told him softly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe3fn6ux61
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1QV3i2aPF
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMQ5J23l2z
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWg0Tg2Yjj
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMMwm46lAI
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxouvAt5rH
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3yQfjTXe6
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2rXUJQ4jY
"Kiss me," he repeats.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cw5ASlWeV
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKIDSJXdaR
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckfmZmvpr
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XReIgjgtY
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTukiUlN8G
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE1pnrIFfR
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp4tcEPH6K
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNokBT32DJ
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI1Rt99kVS
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBnWrHE5s
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OMQ5bPNgy
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqj5MqWwoU
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo9N4Q0dck
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqSL4kvwNr
Electricity races through me and lingers.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7bs70uxhs
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmHtiOYaw
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11xbzWSGkJ
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PLFM6NFEK
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2dI1N1Pkh
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsReRQu3RJ2
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbkYkqX6MS
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR6GgLSHvF
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV2I0E412C
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ndQHabslH
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFcxIqHp7t
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy4YWipK5c
"Jeremy?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezkKGaH687
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwRisanVeJ
I shake my head, not believing.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixJFUFHm2h
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMCd4zLWFs
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8q7hDav7y
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxtNqOWudU
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlD4V5bqY9
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQfOkT4mxD
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1cxaiP4RM
801Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdNv9Y9wdZ
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
