PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCXtG98qRs
He's shaking underneath my grasp.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cRnlT824s
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSuKoLAua
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2cCdo0dFw
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBFW3vBXzY
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRThMfTodlt
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MHHO3Cxld
I smile bitterly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyCHnaDY0W
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MMZuoNXoU
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkyqgMU9K7
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3DJapRkeC
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX6ooTu4Q8
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTs1dgpCKG
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA6suhq83v
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd3mBAt3Nc
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BZhdVebdf
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDLOnJYAif
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh34xs9x5j
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkjRTwmprf
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVa4yvtRM6
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGA65KtCb6
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.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV48NREIJf
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV42noatQt
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP2JVApeT8
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTtIrAizRT
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGIGiJOSzu
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwROOCi8L9N
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLW4AuLgMm
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9NeXRdZGv
I must at all cost keep him awake.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjy4Uerd6c
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDPqO1gRxh
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tk6DM2u2J
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKSr9f9plw
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD28WviJTtT
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fjDtnaotd
"Not that long baby I promise."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoc84glxRS
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpypC6wKE0
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E7u7sgCMQ
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAhIJZV7y3
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsRHuhHuJP
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez60eECeDl
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3WfP54dce
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5ByhfCTV
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRXikor4D
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKEmzR5vW7
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYM4MiwaBT
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuGrEQTv8o
I frown at him.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk9KBOW8N9
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoONKYDMOR
"Don't say that."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1JjIgF5w2
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYRljUfjRQ
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvXAn1n98F
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN551sAU5F
I gasp.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDv7n0thoY
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8VW15aNwm
"Jere stop!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx5cuLyblu
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf8iD9DyKq
He goes on.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC49wrnCUOD
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5EdX6Vx5U
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZPLJo88U
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH0IVkZL0d
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIbnk7aw8A
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJK50MOuZs
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RW2eu5K95
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnkjUwy0zT
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N6gfTiQX1
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP5vmtw8XR
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc591jFldrd
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHny4zCrguO
"I won't."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWtuCp42Tr
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AS7Xe2fh9
He obeys, watching me soberly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoOUOo8ijP
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot3E9FVqDe
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ElWEJmTn
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuZJpC56kx
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUL3rn3H4g
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCyVQBs6T1
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aMVWgghdb
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx77zJOEgk
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTm5pnyWat
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFBPuFDPRC
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVto5InVIa8
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9yt5WCLEe
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4gTYVwN9O
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlITFOl81tS
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZB1fTe6xb
He tries to nod but he can't.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qxBxzs69N
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBoMrNGZnc
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9FWHfErLF
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHa558Iozp
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr9mhqTHkH
He looks up into mine.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F9DnZSvgu
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPePLa48Atw
"Don't leave me." He whispers.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQDmmbaIOR
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdBb5uRbYD
"Stay awake." I tell him.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWyE93y4lu
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iAonHilen
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRtJSjY10H
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPUcOHCUNH
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeF0zEUCma
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYEjGs6wI3
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQKoOs2GLR
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkxqVgkiw0
He doesn't reply.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrZnZwX4J2
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnHycTuLZn
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9jipS7SIO
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUZdDH2N4L
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAu07xIyrg
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xEXgmiCRZ
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxEjm6ipY9
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjjJZ289qp
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ueT1DINu
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpCNqoDQxK
"Stay awake." I told him softly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkEuGpRfh1
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMiV2Iquq
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUu7bGo446
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdahWwmhMj
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT418MdRAJr
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd6tIYGJny
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcS5w34PKe
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwvLG0tUQE
"Kiss me," he repeats.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJgOw6o6Ww
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtHIHBXzHv
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX20t9sIdYc
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFGVDRiCYa
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpa31Gy5hk
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm0RKpvy1H
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw9MkoqTwc
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHozzjFisz
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Va6rUruC
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjgtZcLirX
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZFM8xGBJa
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ulDRhBguw
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSLynSk5KQ
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TunBitc1g
Electricity races through me and lingers.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUXv3jOjcl
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zc9HCCEQb
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes7eaQdtYK
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZJ7jMWHNo
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbS5RAt8c0
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpy03i9uP8
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWkIqcNIS
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDY5vfTPr
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MYPuEMRUI
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem1rerGgci
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VF2d3o1PO
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHzVTIKiOJ
"Jeremy?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU44UFug4h
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6x6bZPk9E
I shake my head, not believing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOSa1NGzJ4
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQwq9io9U6
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol0CDOpwu8
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv2leUxx0C
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkAujf7K4E
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH7Kdm7QtS
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh6b4m69gK
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF7oZUp3l5
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdIS45iRmL
