PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtDUFIbSFx
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQLx12pW85
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe3aiX7HMH
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwPH75it40
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvweZTYosaE
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK8Udo36Gt
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2vawQDp9T
I smile bitterly.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrD1AD8rcQ
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk6wCpIeii
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGugo3VEBx
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3d1ObrYz1
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7QVu7hLRL
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0m6MJNFwL
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvwjW9w0sO
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImg7UXcdll
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaOOcxl2ID
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdxuRXwdUJ
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jhfq0Jbdw
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqAVORf7rs
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUyiAYTxUn
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQZIegE8EH
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.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQffvj1yoNs
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDUrm1iU4V
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLUOwlEmlF
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbktS1lZ44
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsftDwxgfGO
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmsMbMgp5P
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPAEJpIIcz
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOtlX12pwD
I must at all cost keep him awake.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPmqii2nYZ
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXdH06wNsJ
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fcxl9mkKQ
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wPifEzKfq
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlHRpTQafb
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CY0KiEROE
"Not that long baby I promise."1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegKUC6v37b
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6v9RRUSm7
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkWTxGX9DG
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P1lDrx4vf
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ66GVxwdRB
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSTBw7PzDd
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN94Q9Hm3Pk
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmoi4kZ1Pe
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKxUOeE09I
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNc564dAHf
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIyphVWJQ7
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8iXGfdvvW
I frown at him.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi1ZlGb9ke
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA3oiPkfuT
"Don't say that."1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlxIf66o3q
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJHOkk9nL
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCakWOqkub4
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJG7Qm7o7V
I gasp.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTRi5N8URW
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy51Ml4gTHT
"Jere stop!"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IHK6MV5pN
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbGhWcgQ4g
He goes on.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvjMgXdIev
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE0xDe2wsO
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WiBplSbct
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKJOL8e1xO
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdRZ5BRKMq
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZAFh5bG2
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUw9mEY81k
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB2RwMYuc7
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlSvOMBM0o
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8myEXVV4t
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuak7Wz56hO
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2sS7gTzfd
"I won't."1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1F0g5KyYK
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqYWBcw4aF
He obeys, watching me soberly.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiQtFwAafj
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudm7KXeNbr
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3sXbKByHB
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1jzYuU0pa
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8X4u1az4
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1fi2XSR8A
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XrLwaTPbb
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGpwM9vOF4
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4s80W4qEh
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLVb1R0q6V
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkHewoPDek
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkDgWeF7Zv
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoJQZlWh3v
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWym4kYHhNp
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkgjq7qOin
He tries to nod but he can't.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdt0Tr5hAh
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAklejqvuw
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpSugtnt1A
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WgmqLdVzA
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6PPlOemrN
He looks up into mine.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0PwlyJnxZ
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb3yKxZjVL
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1yDi33Xl7
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8hCM8qnCk
"Stay awake." I tell him.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ2WyW2BW2
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA694NigyM
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVUodNc9pk
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2QcLkBhqW
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt39LR2Fava
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp3F5n1Qgu
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsgLVmmSP8
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyqStLIzRZ
He doesn't reply.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNrh9s6Ot7
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79pLfGuL2L
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dZbRgW2k
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZXnuWMVJc
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AkwypBc0L
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TYYVpDMPc
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2naMJ0sEkW
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yIJKp0tuH
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMzQMffswg
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheymyXIKox
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxAoyoOu2T
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAtYDaLkS1
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH84f99C3u
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2JiUri2Nc
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvf4ZlmZRW
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDWctZpIY8
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskcbOby1yK
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSxLUJkBfN
"Kiss me," he repeats.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPIAIDoRc0
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7BV3gAV1D
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsfGxwaRhh
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1peUFNnNk
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra5Wb0bMOW
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UBDboKLUZ
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCkxEQuGUr
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vqCjoIrQw
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcOuRqtMyg
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTEHCMUXsv
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICEj1i3oJ0
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ809dFH6Bz8
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9JHi39HPQ
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxsBGmCSdP
Electricity races through me and lingers.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIM8f5y4l0
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjkrNHOqOV
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlaGPgA6mv
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q6AkXZ5xr
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOcquXrbPY
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC61iGop6mk
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAmSohniIU
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLl0jZyEmn
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXfngBKYqR
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlFrXb1xhL
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr1Nm3Nguz
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHuoAPugJF
"Jeremy?"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRfaYgIGVP
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWnFBMjpJ3
I shake my head, not believing.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oSWAxHsWe
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dB8ZgOpZC
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJWACM2L8Q
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZydqjhOOSV
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1nrCfZ6LT
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCQdZkU1ge
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9fCyBaEMr
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FWMS67sOe
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVr9oBbH0F
