PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttXRZ9Cs5j
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2IcSWTpwO
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH8FrUGxDx
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxoeo92wny
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe5CODGNkW
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpZv8D7jQn
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlQaDSN7n2
I smile bitterly.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLaEugNVA9
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX9Fr7mxrS
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHcSKWRGBE
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQLgQT1HRd
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9xmWt6zMz
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg9DuL2G0z
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJusds8NLBc
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8g0nro9WL
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiHwJRRxg6
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kb8dD96OF
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fTzm6kHNb
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ySiuiRQMP
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRglB4zSvl
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWbo2ZvBru
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.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH9OvL7GJe
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZGhRthlmn
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljCTHaYD2d
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeFOQa5aQF
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLncCRReNHu
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3VhDxepzU
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvpvCgoW0Y
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCbUIfdKOX
I must at all cost keep him awake.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTrvoFPDao
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcKkAn3bz5
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9O1c11Yd9
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRSKf1Boxr
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoM0LawDpY
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzxEReF6wE
"Not that long baby I promise."1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhchGLzbQbe
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4oite6s3
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDbCzpzYt5
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykXSBavBde
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVyCQn32o9
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumwBZgBX8W
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0PCUJxvm4
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5okpBy0g3
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3GsopRsiF
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnouhKpC2AK
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrLTKsuVnl
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtTtE15nc
I frown at him.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5pyziXVRu
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHxUftqPrN
"Don't say that."1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp590t1dq8
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3LSVpPFH8
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MjzvyMKl6
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s2OH9ZH3H
I gasp.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94lggb0xq1
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM2cOO2bzs
"Jere stop!"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8lAHP5txq
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5IMeV2Gz9
He goes on.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTI5eHLaP3
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMhzsYnfY2
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjrklCZT1o
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzTTmEZyjE
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9JPUnCwaM
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDvdPMOFIY
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEuAy33kx1
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9872n7uRLk
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVX3NThAf3
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXIFYiDVCM
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48GF9CwEJL
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVAQ75YaNp
"I won't."1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEGKVSTglB
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJMXQ8P367
He obeys, watching me soberly.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVqzJdbCu
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaOhLoQdcN
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5Q2hGCgp
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMRDBWoEMP
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTAo2XpAty
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcaGHVyPgF
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UmAQ6JdCl
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9L5QLUYbd
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHJcbotsk4
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpopJw1TyA
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFmZ54Mtpz
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyBR1Iai0C
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPHfTY3LTz
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5pn0K1d6C
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZvpC2wMgR
He tries to nod but he can't.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpcxFW1Muj
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi3voF8mq7
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMNM8s4Q1P
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjUh0EIlot
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVExfPQOulD
He looks up into mine.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sszu53Dfr
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9sqkqLI6b
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDn6j9q0Er
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthhIvniq7
"Stay awake." I tell him.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSc7ODVa7R
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0XwAr8G7E
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx2FPGh1oG
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H04Ghg5LW
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cW9NMZWzO
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs4PTewGPs
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCsfTKPOU
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjagMhr6t3
He doesn't reply.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprwc4NLZ3x
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bbMMWiGys
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S0A7l1euM
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQn4Mx2j2i
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXI1lUdxkY
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ28TZvrHaS
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUZZ30wUag
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2fYqHiG75
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V5NZupgZM
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIimYVGE3pu
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Tdtyo82S
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd58XUw4UV
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulaWEhAtjH
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSoyTiUEdp
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDyjv6FLZu
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgHeuVDyUc
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEFVFwSHFp
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne0Oxovfcg
"Kiss me," he repeats.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbzzf9VDfs
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0paZtdKjrP
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtORj66Au65
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47xNSAfBy3
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPD9djaPYx
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCMm69hlrT
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9qApIvssC
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNGme0eW0
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMTwQfFG0c
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYu7FZ05R
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS8Ja8UGHs
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ8BtdwtDn
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdP3tvFypL
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf1VPlLzOW
Electricity races through me and lingers.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMitTbvLfSl
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcPHQhK6Zj
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeYcT8DHSr
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJEa39hBnH
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzSqbKXJC1
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0csPfxvF8X
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8nZBX2vVP
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDueXoT0UC
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE09TSXhXx
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw91sUYLRq
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4B0sHewhv
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv7JBI3DRR
"Jeremy?"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdyPYTwZ6Q
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsGGI2KRgp
I shake my head, not believing.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5OCfOswLB
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhAMujXqmb
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR8DPfBpnS
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50IJQ80u8E
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMccCgnxdHC
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd72R0Pe3N
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVE4OkVA8D
1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2thxtXVW9
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzh6pIyPSC
