PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd1zVWuqoo
He's shaking underneath my grasp.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd8nIPfNHY
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1mzgkHagq
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv0zRUTD1f
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbisw8I3b7b
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa9jbQtmTf
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87946kCGKy
I smile bitterly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULYtXl470y
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8jMrrvapg
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUDymbHAZT
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dPMaIxzde
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqcNXDZF6A
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRhQC8sXh4
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f5LSbtCcq
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXa4lNQGaJ
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVLYVYkWcn
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYYZ6UHZ2m
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH281Io6NJ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymL59h299d
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDkfP410Hf
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ACbEkxMi
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4LPmbvPLr
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFdt3P8g3Y
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgZfE0ZOZu
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk10W0NtFsK
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUovaZHO97
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdzJJvtgEa
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrafb9mgPZp
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gipkQ6SCS
I must at all cost keep him awake.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIBXclxdyw
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGIimMmxGN
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRRPu4TUTc
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFIwcGYf5g
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTaZsZTkEW
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4mwIaRBV2
"Not that long baby I promise."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Lyt9E9A0
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ZEtzdkVc
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KJ6zJxyIk
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCSWHdh9Si
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1vR2Adaxw
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGVbw0bd7D
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmdGljev9L
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17eTHLUfK3
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6i5rnCumI
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG2txZQGxZ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVSIpTbH2t
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU9edebS4S
I frown at him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpoDLpNRv3
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk6vhD5Qrp
"Don't say that."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMUyfMMlIZ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAIJY9Pnq
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYwHRSoqqc
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRlohAPjjT
I gasp.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wx2F0RRWU
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmEUKDyra0
"Jere stop!"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsLGSmPvVQ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJjQuHgMD6
He goes on.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfllFuCMMs
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSwaFzfT50
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL8O90Rtr0
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSRzFnL3GI
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aUUiLoNTR
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq9guDtivd
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDsOg1KzdK
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ0Y2inp22
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j67i1MExV
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTpNa2ZjyR
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ZKJ7Wozo
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdfLe6LsOT
"I won't."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0n0l1Cj8
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGiWPv0Lgj
He obeys, watching me soberly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdvIQtbVvZ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5LmEVISx8
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJjC8wADgh
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDPW6gmPgN
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVXveEpHgR
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrYabJSgFx
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgJWkxS3Ge
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xEZuMK3gn
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqWNqTeMIc
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli5QR60MOZ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5vhlL2inz
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYhfEnsMO8
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSo7wnmGq2
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPogdvNQbm
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExO7Tj6rzj
He tries to nod but he can't.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2qFCf49NQ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9lmenQT3l
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CE8QanTWm
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLJI9JdRml
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o8gwm7uIp
He looks up into mine.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHowAhY2SP
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDXhU6960F
"Don't leave me." He whispers.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEA4hVVUks
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBpAJAEg9u
"Stay awake." I tell him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nQvlaaPty
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTcxXlxd0C
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAQLgz0YeO
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wQDw5j1eP
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3UZUF8N60
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHALuglN4r
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU86CPXuQx
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwtY0DZMhA
He doesn't reply.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLWzYAKLL6
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7E3ma8LN4
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg60GbKnRB
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ty1WRs0W1
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqtDnZdlrr
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ6pwxaKZJ
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPjAkfeVxA
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsmFI6eVPJ
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWLbYMBUjQ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSOq7ZDCwU
"Stay awake." I told him softly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zPGkb1nUl
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmUE8FkKNq
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkClEg8gAfz
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnv9MuCAZn
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M5UdrJnp9
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW10V8k0fg
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6IxLrh1kC
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl36Wtgq1G
"Kiss me," he repeats.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhfR1JPBw6
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEPl4xor0B
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK7idZD9rk
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNPr5obsB
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvr8uCf3dX
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlsxj8j9dm
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6197YrY2kK
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ONrEA4tvn
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlr4h0vki1
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNySutxFiKR
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1JX06IxGg
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K2BVAI5VV
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9AfPhrcXs
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBxFwaRfLI
Electricity races through me and lingers.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85zsXNjXt
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQUBT3BJ7S
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeyqn7NKwy
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBHWyd7py4
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GCd0ChUv2
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjJ30HFc2e
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX0VblaHlN
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRBjUx14MZ
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdFn6N967Y
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdWKerNu7w
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunvef6WmqM
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmyASUKOvA
"Jeremy?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFRcP0Jv9b
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNYWK1VJkE
I shake my head, not believing.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OVi16SavQ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIdzuGzrES
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ194uZgWMsm
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PLW0TWwNk
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmQtnUCqAZ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XIJvU3Mro
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDHq8ljacg
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO3E1WTxIW
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
