PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZHeqH7nQz
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu9YahM230
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FRj1ogzSq
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCaxqSxbia
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu27mmjxsex
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTpOks5sKk
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTblsqPcD6A
I smile bitterly.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqxKFVLW2t
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6igNNpQ58
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY55yfb5w5
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihM0WMzdhM
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oESxiQy1O
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5mCjFkWp0
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizh84Z3vQg
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLQIVyYnic
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpUOrk6las
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo1Ifi3gdc
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv3X8egAQz
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ88e8WBKju
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3lTj7YhiQ
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvuG2j4y7
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.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS7OlGLZEC
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQFXTtwlxn
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSqWlYLKTV
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmi6q1iHTd
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi7HaDIZ8P
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3rgKWOZsp
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWMZQy7s7d
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzbPnfTTyD
I must at all cost keep him awake.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFMB2rfnco
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Anax8BxrW
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhpQ2H5ikf
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsSNtCSDAe
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TExzs3lDR
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNR7JRUGh7
"Not that long baby I promise."1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI08FfIJW7
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCvNupxGU5
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0umcHGUIx
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFYDFRZLWZ
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBqaC2Ygqk
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXjbmUbPPs
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidevPcioBK
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3YrMForWm
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyAV2GVGe1
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkRKUbQzpc
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneIOuL5b8h
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiYN32nDbq
I frown at him.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8z8vSyed
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui6aD5YPgR
"Don't say that."1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQtvBQulvh
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbih0QDFzw
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnjAx8j24V
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcRpZZVJug
I gasp.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V38jiedco
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxVK2nBR5T
"Jere stop!"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXQnrtqwQG
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ZeYRkOCF
He goes on.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlENHE5bKY
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaS4qo8n1V
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV77FLEZH4R
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor90sRIlSF
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJebmN292eP
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjCRraGa2J
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJ6EO0V8T
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGnOZuSLUf
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI63TEeU19f
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZjhBUCQ6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa6jbnIj29
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMofmjWnXv
"I won't."1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS6MpIwOFi
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcjA5ixfDs
He obeys, watching me soberly.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuznepO6zJS
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEb9IyxTho
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EbL1iJG4D
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU0y0KxktO
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM4AjoU398
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bi1YTAnxo
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY8Dzr88Q8
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjr83Kooag
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4RolhUWe5
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR8OJ7C2DW
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4y3hurqA9
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMlGrFBBBQ
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb47OzOVQl
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW49XWceJo
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYjgj2PmD3
He tries to nod but he can't.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN4ubBcIjL
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0onwDdksxL
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ar7xz0Ng
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHI8X6fGWF
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT812hB3tA5
He looks up into mine.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvQMjTMAb1
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLE4NphwG
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gF2JKpvCB
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1NbpLBzj3
"Stay awake." I tell him.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwtluv3VQh
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs8TPDMPp7
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUM5j1jvjf
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDEX8ZlMl9
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZQNNnhpR
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dTARyGnc5
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVvOcFYpCr
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIRII1va03
He doesn't reply.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNAZgTrZmH
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLm6HBmqIp
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB624qpFH0
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpORtGdiUaM
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVXvB2I0X7
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGRrISJL4p
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kybIwzY9z
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndllj0sku8
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXgB9t5tf2
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTos7ICKIZq
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nPTq3PmY3
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4mghctIke
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi01inqPHSs
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfUdl6Fhvf
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgKejYJVdq
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1fr6prZdq
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCelwbVR7HR
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6nVqSSzuf
"Kiss me," he repeats.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NWzEEsGCe
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpJFxsTF2T
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0FeYYDJU6
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtZif1gsih
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstEFtruJw9
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRnJ07GUj8
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0a28qICYu
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1B2eANpiI
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR26y98mQw
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQukM1nA8o
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB1YvdkuW9
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZaYOX4O0U
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5gAwDQ08I
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0A6lJxlSj
Electricity races through me and lingers.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPnL2Ja0vc
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm3W18T6xd
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpF0Wt7vmt
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcvFfJPMpX
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1ahNd39kY
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nDiMym66i
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdsPT861cl
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaavKTZQXax
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSPEmJ2oy
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLXgy0aSjU
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZSBtLhcv
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA8KTSQ819
"Jeremy?"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb5O7iPWRN
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOhSw9uqiy
I shake my head, not believing.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuSmZfQyii
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScGRQboUJq
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI5cZfT20c
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTX81jG7ns
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2xV4107nS
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbPBug3ovT
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCY1u6AZV1
1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FTBsqtVoc
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdMyHmS7Gs
