PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnIhoiW0Eh
He's shaking underneath my grasp.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPIpEe9J8
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3d2YpjDrA
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnvXJTwLvK
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu3Q509rW9
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJPmDvsLf4
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFFFKmBLfE
I smile bitterly.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OI3YznqD3
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJC7C53194
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9LTo1Ude3
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYxUpsly1T
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfHpaUQX0E
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXHdydgWJx
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfDilnR7Mq
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4xo3mV188
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmkx6mttCM
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Ccx1FHDN
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tsMjBJ3lP
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCx57tGPK1
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf7C91wNkK
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybQrzK9mHD
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.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxhDm6rcYx
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQUUBlokk7
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dgd7GCdEI
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxrt7bhHaf
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oW38hTQw
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5FIm9EuZV
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yno3n1mI3
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCrQYihKW
I must at all cost keep him awake.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8crHr9BYF
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KIcvwiK5S
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemx3p34nDB
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kVsHnaI8f
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK0q1zcyHG
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJDuswiEp0
"Not that long baby I promise."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6f5GRWYph
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3v1kTvOrN
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4r5Yikv7N
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGHsKr5LJ4
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0sxLDMM82
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenD2LWLWoJ
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQVUIMrTbl
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAgPbC1OH2
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFUdgZEpZ5
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn7wCjD9fJ
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X6j0DPwGx
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8o10rYa2L
I frown at him.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVy00WROr
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYauE6iePL
"Don't say that."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpplakV2dV
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8GkX1e3L4
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYuXasbgDJ
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFLhTrtKm4
I gasp.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I9sBgLcZg
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1aBnxJq4B
"Jere stop!"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG5rrcrbgF
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVqDPCDi1z
He goes on.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3GPVausJj
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFgwOSWVOW
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe50YMsTaI
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFLNsN36sH
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oGfjF1qvX
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6XzcRHEU6
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlnVHKx3EL
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB46Dtq2SIj
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H9wLl271T
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepQrW5sJ7Z
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLcDSfJMMI
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDZMIXnsHo
"I won't."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bsa9JwgJt
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvvKr56KD6
He obeys, watching me soberly.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz3V2dE5Ju
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR6ZhcvF3X
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivH1pt7JQy
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJumSzslsG
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJRLsyQK2M
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOyYnX0fk
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IRsJA9p2B
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWycD3sDH3C
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzToJjuJEg
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PySeJrPR2
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTgW60xNbN
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ktw5GIym
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0whWsUyo3d
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTikrtaS4d
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DqASbqsLu
He tries to nod but he can't.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7mGnYHIbO
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12ROxjhNV
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYxzuCEqoX
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO4Cwx7kjn
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi6GlD2w10
He looks up into mine.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavyZwPyvbN
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kd70EaMKe
"Don't leave me." He whispers.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUH9Z4TUIb
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk3SBtrDcK
"Stay awake." I tell him.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWON1ygje6N
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0RWGDQc56
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0eYulf0j
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwimEjFMKX
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr871Vs9oP
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bOL2iUlVw
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P9Qp1Oo5u
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI6SSnWleu
He doesn't reply.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn00Q8yPUW
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xEteFhBhz
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwR0ggKZmJ
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvRiuBkAh4
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QB6G5rOVp
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvhjwRClO9
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0T04DYWXU
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1YeprCLeU
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauHsNaAVjw
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxSHGWFhz7
"Stay awake." I told him softly.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzFrESq6UY
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKVA3s8doN
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiocD4HzafA
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BeDJttG5J
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR9CzzTiCh
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJatHxQ0rPv
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3kI4pnVEA
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBGBgR4DO7
"Kiss me," he repeats.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYltDVnHc9f
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS1d0Fh2Gk
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0byYZ6g1O8
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Cm5lY9k4
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrD8C4gswm
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr77oVQuS2Z
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7hW577Jkz
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcxKWm01aM
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu0CUTb45U
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP3mbVMF8U
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZGenNY1Uy
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEsKkMZmaQ
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEdhpqFaHR
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbLD6QLlJW
Electricity races through me and lingers.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkLO51y4TC
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYNxNWo1T2
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKESlOMo9m
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5BT0o8bGU
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwetug4TmYg
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJQ1AbO8Pj
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdS8hUgW0T
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLuNUSioyY
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiW46Bh3XE
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tfufd8ZYx
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYFXGvszK0
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVVKQrb5Ry
"Jeremy?"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU9vEvlzgT
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcuFunOIe7
I shake my head, not believing.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bshdNDclV
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFY7T0We3Z
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mXQjtAZ9u
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKqmghqMUX
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKdgoWl4g0
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbudv7S4qbX
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GquoxE6yl
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSBjDUojBL
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
