PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TphdAqpLF
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaobQyiPvyd
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeySV9QwH6
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LMHGCqPiz
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90yQsrhFwT
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaQJcyn8zN
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaYUHpS3pT
I smile bitterly.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUGPlNvllo
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFaEaMqwx9
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKdN1oguZD
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dVsDdPsb6
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgtIsa0V2I
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jubidJmbg
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bq4geUo1m
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzlRrWmONT
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9u7Yp7sC7
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48im5HzqAx
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMgc8iA0jR
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxgjXqpJrr
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6srP7EogJ
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFjkw3Dk7s
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.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKwQnVwFqK
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtROKx80HI
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo8PN4Mb36
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QOFGJzW1l
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HlvXcppgd
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVN4yeWVLl
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB4cTIRN7T
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JgusEn0l6
I must at all cost keep him awake.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJPX3Ilfej
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBdzqyWAMT
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R2xzAFs0x
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQRyaC4l0S
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpbsbCRHZZ
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4HXtic4Ro
"Not that long baby I promise."1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd7u5rESBr
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKBKifm9vN
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00O7G6jD3W
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGMjXKrKIg
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNNFdSlzQS
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj5YpVXbjr
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfRqFo4pVA
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkevdila5J
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fdTFoobpa
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVjfPcuOXP
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHypCWJBF4
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAPVtbAR0N
I frown at him.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbVFJzf5JE
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewtzlXxNnP
"Don't say that."1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTJpcbdMOo
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rU55U2ClD
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXS0e8m6k6
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEcIAT2HHy
I gasp.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtFKVsFHsq
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGvFZfyEms
"Jere stop!"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4F8vEDOF8
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8oNkQA10p
He goes on.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApEbXHBcF5
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAIzWpf4hY
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhnGQcFmxA
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MIyIlDSIg
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPssrd6T50O
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZqyyXlakp
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnEPuGZBJF
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cje5zJUZd
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLxLPEmY2H
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDyG10ZCHP
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpclLmagpGY
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLTOv4n1UY
"I won't."1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i7vFnjJG1
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfbrrHaRC2
He obeys, watching me soberly.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ21Edvcf07
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNRdaBGpey
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zbtVUpLo
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NNBU65wu
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ706PbAlRaG
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu1UjrK5ET
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv96qz2sjOG
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqv6yFKBxS
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKsfnelmfg
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhdh0UJyWV
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPdwZw9vb4
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRef3vlwUil
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc8us22PPl
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxImLytSMY
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pukfa1smx
He tries to nod but he can't.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5o28QRFOJ
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2kgrDcuo3
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaFio28UKl
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6GBnLFs3U
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HPkOHw3XX
He looks up into mine.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QWcol8qgg
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS94XoCnXBT
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXHk98HYB8
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Klfat3UT
"Stay awake." I tell him.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNleYuobdC
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIGrAy8emp
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKg1s3PpKg
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9511NwxADk
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH7dvYkIh1
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJKZbfljhj
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIq4xoJAMf
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycMlxR7Qqv
He doesn't reply.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfbjE54vsV
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9QNJeXlJR
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb57RqdlVu
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY8CPDQlR3
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Y5EIQIsK
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMtrPAMEy
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfWLsOLSSY
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMcGQq5vx6
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wpv7ehoqs
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2v3z8IZJu
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBghJb9hBc
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGMbIAayD2
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaxQlggFAG
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAqBuJWi76
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV4wo2UqWS
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8wGqn7xsW
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTbb6dvQoi
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O2q1AOMv1
"Kiss me," he repeats.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiIW7qbs83
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqDeUY3oo0
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UPHGogCZb
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCLPYoP2zx
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx9L9s3WuL
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLgjOCodDW
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwCzJ89T2t
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMqflteq0W
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWr6Pw9K92
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1DtqewsMO
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKljuYfxOIR
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoIcc1EoM7
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ZQgmcgbb
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomujk4QH2r
Electricity races through me and lingers.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZyPiz8ooO
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4MOZiGoec
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHbWyWdt2w
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMTxw5C5N8
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx6uPDJONa
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYtd1m3M8O
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbtqu3f74h
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeoXKdR8QO
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdvS1s26Mm
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHzZwExTm2
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5MG7IUVXO
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYQXWtlRc4
"Jeremy?"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3lH9KhmgT
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5lfbP2Vf7
I shake my head, not believing.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEFUG3W5gs
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjvudVTF9o
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLe8TBsS6n
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxa9pDNXV
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLYuqzDfpD
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjejcjXbrx
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMbg7hCTfg
1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr5pz32dng
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDordJGmVo
