PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmNrhRkynk
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkUN8ZyDIQ
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2KVsFDYax
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjs8nugnAp
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gWr8pbu5
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU233StaTIF
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB25rwKEqT
I smile bitterly.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaCItFYVL2
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXD91Zb6L6
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97GFhxxdpl
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZFIOUxGcx
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dii9j9hTC
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZHEANhql7
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcd5NizryK
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmcjpA6YfW
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL71kyggS4
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYnyJzG0bJ
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKkwkIM3W4
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4CfoWFJn
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRH0qntwry
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L0Q6d45zo
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.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoAtGMK1v1
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss6GWhbb6c
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTRwhRRduS
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMhp9sFmTc
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqM3ACnq26
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pw1EFfkmo
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrG4TU4Hnj
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa8zZk8Wyu
I must at all cost keep him awake.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCM59KJao2
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04FaMG0QEi
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymJJnohFOS
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh6PVk8bw7
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncnvwhyTHA
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURrNmLMXy9
"Not that long baby I promise."1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhypNZIVzEr
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZijeno6q5
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9yZkboVhn
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAwrEK3tOZ
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH5V2eoisv
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMK0z2jfu0
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj2SS7W0zu
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopoeOtUVps
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArVLUJfvb7
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9WzFFpAcH
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8pcUZecvp
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuAeHuX8QG
I frown at him.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ASqSbcgTd
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DLye1xcZd
"Don't say that."1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEVZO1cBKE
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFPnYcXQcy
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVb2toNDNl
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD4w1bIjpC
I gasp.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ2cAMJlad
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9frrWMcFcK
"Jere stop!"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN8lEdcpFS
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2X5EKsEPi
He goes on.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMsvvtpSpX
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvychSmaFr
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYozopmrEL
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdpe35cj41
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXwtygoPW6
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nwSxhBUvr
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWG4mFMajG
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhhfcqvypq
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehOzhju5I1
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxrZlJJorc
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHYj56fWrx
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO28h7DjX0
"I won't."1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXZvyu13yB
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ZFh6zVa2
He obeys, watching me soberly.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kIkp7LJeo
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SPlcZ5pZZ
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1NMusvV2x
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYAo17CgK
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbLAyCtfkv
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqjR1n9a9s
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ZATb6QbZ
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIVyfZ6Dyr
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26COEIXlVm
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iiDV2l83l
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJEhCTS9v1
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxetVxBsC7
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ziRHyatAW
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjLrTo8w9b
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyeumuiSk1
He tries to nod but he can't.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYyb1VLTNO
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3Q0MGzXy
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB4e4bLqRk
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaoT9ZVS5r
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiBMRt3oQt
He looks up into mine.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3XBM4CdDY
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME5hOR24LK
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPuUGS8WQW
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o5IndD6Ii
"Stay awake." I tell him.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87qx08Ak7P
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQkAF3juEq
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMpVU9SVAP
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf00Dt1siCx
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUEmn7g593
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOUvc6Zse7
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoPeH6i7PI
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLat7cJAPk3
He doesn't reply.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkQyEWiI9D
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCIuRZXQnh
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnwqWRPiB
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj0hbkFlF7
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJSsf7nXUg
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPkA0yviPn
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWHkMomnOn
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0ttlRTCS
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6yIyTu4ns
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbwo51iM88
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAHZsUS1As
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlh3HBxOFG
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mOO1kdA4o
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYpxVBri16
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs3D9oyEBW
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi6E1YLTza
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzHjhBXa9j
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O2Bd8VhR9
"Kiss me," he repeats.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIBqNlmsQ4
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JqlUq2lSZ
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjM2QNGmI8
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchpNs3C0OX
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwhb6rgkSn
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtTf3SqY6u
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI5gwE6PAW
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mQffWfpGC
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlAjqd8GOf
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAC8cDyqJW
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1m6ROgQKU
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMY4kVPmcV
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzjYW2m3Lf
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFkPXSsAHA
Electricity races through me and lingers.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaJYos5uFH
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5q6WZbArs
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ybcjjyYQL
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwDK9s29Jh
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlTKjdwd0j
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHCsHDWUtT
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsVEfE1w2V
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1mawqIFNW
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoD6bNOqnI
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldMgpLzIHJ
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbN4N8ao9c
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8l1esNS4U
"Jeremy?"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Zi8yJcrh
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SKw4M0cz3
I shake my head, not believing.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2CpzUJcS
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHYuAvFIIh
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYsWqXM8Kp
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSIsFEWdoR
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39bY72DLjA
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CWYc1B0Hk
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8mxSDD1nG
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ06y991GCf
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wWgp7YCV5
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMU2vRo5Zn
