PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU1XM9QKSk
He's shaking underneath my grasp.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFhTm59Jq0
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyS6tOABZp
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJMQsgprQ5
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ff01wcW8
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPQFwE2Ppa
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyCnHGJYSN
I smile bitterly.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB5MMnJYkd
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANSP9MT72p
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBHmH1RiWI
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmorUf40YzW
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIclaJ6iI1T
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK27h29kEO
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruZGWyAMZ
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws5ZBElUoh
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoPxnbXRjC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wxUy59Vma
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUmIgbsDN
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY0iR3BEsB
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m97WS13jQ
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf14qS1eyKv
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.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKdXfo3zVy
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebeiGwigBh
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIZa0iK5Mm
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOq2aGI2gM
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ8E19Zzq1
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Np8zBMzqI
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHnuNtrBqk
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYOLP563NG
I must at all cost keep him awake.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2p4PfgOK
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp943hoDCp
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xznR3MgUG
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKWWxQfZSJ
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZwlPrfLx
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMzmns3TRq
"Not that long baby I promise."836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRuUENcNeP
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDqC5An3fB
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe1gnDIvSy
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5TBS7V8Qz
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuHaI8556Q
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUAtnf5oNF
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajXzWmZR0u
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jocm8Hg7p
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaSyVrcoHu
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHAfJvaXG
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojZdv9arsA
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZh8fQ4lBf
I frown at him.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0bD5gJ1D0
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfQTxj6t73
"Don't say that."836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt1lYZputE
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltIqGUrrKO
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwIIn58QIt
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2znyqCJLbG
I gasp.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bPVm1iOQr
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11NeZUhibx
"Jere stop!"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDMgBPVhOd
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Itw0GWVzh
He goes on.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOU95uEGUs
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6mhM6zkLI
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNv2wJXvNC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzy5Rb99u2
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqmzsG8Ale
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRAGuNS3hV
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuP3eluydJ
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJUYlTvCJj
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDDBO6Tghn
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yvcjErGM6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMTJckDZA5
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO9UF44JLk
"I won't."836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0hasVA47q
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvaiWMnGSs
He obeys, watching me soberly.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6WN3e2KbM
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQdeUKBY0N
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyxA9CFkpC
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0wV7TmYuk
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEeNHtLzgs
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3otGMxOFu
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyE8yX6D7W
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljbdcfmHLM
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjUYLfmXne
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqWQhi73Ty
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhebatDkX
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4EWv8prO8
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VFpH3zgSl
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdyDhGpOeo
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshkDhw71Qn
He tries to nod but he can't.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4pOmHDp6u
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRL6jxG47I
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d9HpReiR4
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokbJ3TpUpb
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwTEUrItqQ
He looks up into mine.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ84sWabXL
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ582dHXAcXv
"Don't leave me." He whispers.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9altc6ELX8
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguaDeL15Of
"Stay awake." I tell him.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pP99CSX7A
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisbh3m7Xbr
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgTHcT5wdG
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCi0tNALVX
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAKzYB2Iyf
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95BETH8BHC
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71OOYSVNgO
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nbga9D3bh
He doesn't reply.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7pZGeXQof
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRHvxHY437
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5qhuy9dRF
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4KWB4FqOt
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6BYVtZeDF
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelLVXNpZvN
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXufvatPiOH
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseI4dctCnC
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz44Kx6D2am
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NUrLekhc2
"Stay awake." I told him softly.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuGyJqS8Hi
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1MQmqQ0nI
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOXLItDsyi
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAxW3E6Zgq
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKFOWFzD12
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw6kVw4Cz0
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAOhidSAvO
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibA4hTjUFq
"Kiss me," he repeats.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWPLp32MQo
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ypX4ZSv6Q
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93sH3rZrDq
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzPBYRBm30
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDyqpnGeJI
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAScBIEUsM8
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEOgiI1okL
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7jLtOtfCi
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQmtybCCdt
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhUUFCw3EU
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7JYdo6sJw
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK4NtMZO1E
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWCbw7837X
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCCSTMna1V
Electricity races through me and lingers.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV5iGNITFl
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFCnurTBNl
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHT5qwyT7
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaB3WB4xBy
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfKwgaSQkf
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pnyvDf5sF
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2n4uAxrSO
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTRiH54FDx
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3bILUYH2N
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjIT8uKhiz
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zG4fcxKJI
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKbol9wzrw
"Jeremy?"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPf3TFqrkZ
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZns1gu2Ar8
I shake my head, not believing.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvS2iaiWUp
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARvvDhzkuV
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lfk2unN27
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeQqhZzpVW
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZUFgki8D
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLzLtygRSF
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYBR45cUHD
836Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gqr3GMl8h
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
