PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiJlQAfDlD
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhBlK1vB1A
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdnnlUcClO
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9NuQmpoLi
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgQqJiNXc9
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyKfUEc8yb
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NTcRBVUgc
I smile bitterly.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOisHWO9sZ
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9bQMRn0eD
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNhyzt5Qq
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWBkRjFXIX
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JA3glKUig
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqnBRDyWfX
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR9g9Tigre
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdIrW7919v
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr99rgu2rdH
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHz1MalRwj
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhnRrxQvtM
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3fY8YDiCU
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTqTfaiRZn
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy2Kg3kQjv
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.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpu3E0dRsA
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN43UD8xhP
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOoQLENNc4
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyrgLyIvWS
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvsZ100R8b
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCJtSOmQjI
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSuCGPydc
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNCNfvx2Oi
I must at all cost keep him awake.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiMhbyEEXx
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJty8Q62N3g
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c0mQJC7RK
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyICkcq75S7
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUYQMxVatx
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSetU2tC4fi
"Not that long baby I promise."1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPxvH8czSx
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkyvw8UDxN
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABORqd13oj
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUOYbJS9sB
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRUAIvSnOs
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplxspLHlzo
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkfNGcYq3f
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsplZOXxcK
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZXsSfml48
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM36RSU51J
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMnGNt0bHL
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0X8wqUQbD
I frown at him.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKsQmtS1vP
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVQvfcSAoy
"Don't say that."1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gx84kAVOQ
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrtdF1fZv
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOX4zZ3t02
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GbtX1unmX
I gasp.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgcxwMNEmg
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SpBwgv6K5
"Jere stop!"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyEfoshxvB
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCb55GYuIX
He goes on.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HK3KCYRAK
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITJG8Jo9y6
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPKOOmx7Xh
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2NejxcwRc
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFBHZVf3gK
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18xTohrdrW
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCW2YMitKu
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaYxj8VwB8
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8amLECaiu2
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGfFLQ8128
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezLV8jq4uI
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVSlSR2WvP
"I won't."1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJzD3WW6Ro
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Pods29Ra
He obeys, watching me soberly.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aO7RAGMfL
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5PQwzAAcv
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRQv9Qwjlt
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgELrrrrB1Q
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7U8uIpvyL
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNOmzWk49
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkIIIBEMqN
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3UOUVUWvd
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrFLCIevDG
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZKH5DDAPU
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgp2od4gUi
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCxREpxtrw
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TQMPKfAbc
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq547f1kws
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0hOP5wL6v
He tries to nod but he can't.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXSEFHXvYg
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxKc3buppp
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fgl8hyYTy
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeApI97Ltz
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9umOeSzuW
He looks up into mine.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8jJOXjICw
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKha9zhHTHD
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN79H9agYUX
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhJFHzkZON
"Stay awake." I tell him.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3CvfGlPpH
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXKEkSqAR2
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofq4Nlqh5Q
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPImsUrt8xU
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK73l7Nj1C
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ71JhDceE4
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vSak7jAq9
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfi6VN5r7l
He doesn't reply.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTdArCnUJT
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7trhklQy0W
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1nrFEmglz
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOaXmJjQGk
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbILliOYfQn
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ZMrqIRdl
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBzF7GwHS8
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQVv5N6SCe
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxCaWmTmRJ
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKdlmxlJGu
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5fxQHUKXG
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq0oGgRcSS
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UCHCkaF3Z
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGrYATD25C
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWVyMRmd5e
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzadEeCuzdG
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm5VZyNLmK
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIkaOjQXFe
"Kiss me," he repeats.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin2iclqo26
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LNi0vUmqu
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo767g75Dc1
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKRWY4a20R
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZiWX8RqH9
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaETnJZQVH
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DQnHcq9w5
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSudAAlwUg
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7SWTK4Yev
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUDkYhocNP
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXJ3VTJfbG
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamDPMwGPaL
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh2lo2dKzH
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8GXjWtWSf
Electricity races through me and lingers.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6zGtLRWby
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIoNK3B8oD
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp3jviKSSW
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wKTMDftRe
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRlt9Cxaa7
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ISuNjbgx
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC20VdAh2L5
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlo1t8aMfU
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXdG9KGD0k
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo4RGi9Gzi
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfljGSleWX3
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu33y29hgx0
"Jeremy?"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Fls17Nxu
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14SH1mU58v
I shake my head, not believing.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Omeouc45Y
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTAUuvDtYN
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAysDF4M2RH
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXbMKOdq7C
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEw5UhExwh
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdlK1DnkSP
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSUARQHjrf
1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4BSsMAac8
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1076Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUfMFCa14z
