PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PReWHAeBF
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK03sciGsG
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubOpngB9nS
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9TevrA5MY
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8gl26toEj
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgYBFmB2xv
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbcajt2ePg
I smile bitterly.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImcCE7emSB
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANxDcek5RR
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu6TGrR0O2
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ybn055uS
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59XVzcYkcE
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrR6NFMEZo
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VO4y6LWvs
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdh7UnPNWN
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgtzLmZ6ZP
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPVkHtH45C
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdjgvuTOCn
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U6Sez0pb7
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfJQsmf4YB
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEolHuiOiN
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.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5zqPSr9ao
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhgCZxMNlb
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cqBkxT0iw
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHHp7I8wAu
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKWBOwrIqh
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBybMGroQ4
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYXd8yFVkK
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLoWmetHdw
I must at all cost keep him awake.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckTBRQ22rU
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2KHDwGytg
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jaRvXGyn7
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaPU8HJaA6
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVGVvki8Mq
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcMrY4Hf88
"Not that long baby I promise."1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qHAxQ2Vfb
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcfV5l3I3o
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Edee3wyri
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztz2Y8CVvu
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC33YWiyyj
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x7bhaeeBu
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFCmSEoySQ
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHs6f035iO
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5uEoHEqhR
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdatfav5yP
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBix8mPaWBz
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaF3TIMvDz
I frown at him.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmBTEKzXbp
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl0mwcYkF0
"Don't say that."1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDD5J0COFm
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUposBfWOr
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8DNUtfnWk
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9JejFx6Zg
I gasp.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tbGtAhXCi
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl5WJEOMev
"Jere stop!"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLBHNH1RKi
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBAd5KZjcg
He goes on.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTt4j0q0BU
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKBCFt2kC6
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3UFDyJccx
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yaL3AUZMn
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxZrqJkPhD
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukfyChSW8V
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhlEtbH1ke
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NFQElacLy
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfD0GNMx1o
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsQjOuPMzp
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj2wNeBpV8
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsizw0HYoWV
"I won't."1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw3KuktN3L
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge8Pn19rlq
He obeys, watching me soberly.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvLkom0tQo
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9nNPDAYbQ
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA4YmZl9xN
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJCxUcbky
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JonFjrAeg
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWHmIKBl1
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH01LXJbgJ
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifcQ3yDHVx
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYLKdR9mmi
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszssibI50i
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPTlf4JSzl
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FAaw88YPY
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LcNndthTd
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f0TqzNWOL
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ZON7eqBj
He tries to nod but he can't.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnQGfddAyB
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZEXeLtnRj
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkLcbaBLi2
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhizQ2SoCdF
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlne9iYlH9b
He looks up into mine.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9VuI3EvVk
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXdA2TTxU
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT9RjP4Uw2
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXB1SkGJPZ
"Stay awake." I tell him.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3EenkD6aI
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX3rufCCFB
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3ZWBggzar
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmyKyewyPT
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuENPsyok0R
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWuBvsK2NU
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40z8as3QDr
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQsV8Q0ucU
He doesn't reply.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Odhwfz7oX
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBZpjtWShx
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHro0wuH9NF
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qmaghde70
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImBOvFH1VF
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg6dngjTzt
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6c8mRxixB
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHE4PgcJ50
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi1JmWGl6t
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaglRCXtsu
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiePEwdhhm
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe64GZt76dV
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AFLCZNWXG
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGpi9XoIs0
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT2YyRPljF
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8xKf0bcMW
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRrOPfMicZ
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Z4AVMSoC
"Kiss me," he repeats.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5cNdwaoq2
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTd1hvYVDF
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdV9vL8suw
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ731mAH0SqS
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf1ODKsC3A
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQb4BlNgtx
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVMuSywVwX
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvRlL1xjoT
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElzfK3AUIF
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsjCsZPCqo
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyT0zhHSdD
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3lTzd3580
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHJmbX4lug
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6UXuLh5Fk
Electricity races through me and lingers.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxiKjvy8eQ
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5GuYlqHhx
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNFfJJqAPg
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR1REtpJDb
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma7l35Y2zw
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJde5w5DnkU
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg18g7pwCy9
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc8VGwInXD
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkGGyOCFRj
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKPvHgCc9L
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3RXvsHcGY
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas13F4SvI0
"Jeremy?"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Dz7YAGFO
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaDsq6NlzT
I shake my head, not believing.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xxg1dKzHZ
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNdicjil58
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFojSiOVqT
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYF6wt5Lgj
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrxvoEDjcd
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LoYyXh2f5
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDyAfVFFBy
1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3cb4QYva
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1051Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDjkZc7dxY
