PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpy9JgpaTs
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYfj7CAIHO
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrdZfPESqD
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBeiWgRpk2
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ssxOMiAB
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLGWjBN16s
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpNHmyX5Wq
I smile bitterly.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCos0YOYn1
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaNLiQ875M
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRRBms2oHD
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyAnBhoVsJ
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnRHRRUEhY
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROcLcsPkkx
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ncZAEAPa
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKyMzsgzFX
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD45E9JIkI4
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSosKpV0Fzd
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO3aUHrdH7
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL51CdFJINS
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW9SM7WMlR
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWGf33dpqW
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.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZhaPo4xEQ
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15slkhCQWU
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeI1tNbeYy
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPORfoPaBlH
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGQclA1kBF
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTWAj0UatI
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKAy0jzMrG
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88kth6a99g
I must at all cost keep him awake.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloLfRf41bo
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3cIABWhRb
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxrstpmAXq
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPmf8yo7Na
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6yUBCMvwV
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRTo1AXumz
"Not that long baby I promise."1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUqrMqKQW6
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFLVDUlBA4
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5wMx5T4JL
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgkUzZ0XEy
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqAWQpUrXP
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3plhcyyBf
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UaUzUix63
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnASJHzDfv
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPRMiSe9ZO
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGJeuIZj9X
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaNw7ED5YN
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvTwyxSWbD
I frown at him.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHKdYci02J
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nYQYgrthf
"Don't say that."1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoIG3XN1dv
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCF7jFLDuC
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHuRloeJYu
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOstgXNsqQQ
I gasp.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY7cxU2Kdf
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIMiOaZs19
"Jere stop!"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCLLO8YlMz
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAJYuCVFej
He goes on.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx3jDnJUyh
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXlebssHDD
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPLHPUtau3
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB7WWo5DNp
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRw5Sbg7tD
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPtuAKit6s
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hX7Uj8IQE
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY9kkm23A2
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOwnmuGOit
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5fsml5Dp3
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZMcTsGgTT
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVmWJ3szRg
"I won't."1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMReeSzWZQv
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUXvEDxe7m
He obeys, watching me soberly.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcwbgjPMXK
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLFdj83uZj
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrO2RYNfGo
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbss1TCRYQ
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i4jA5WlUX
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLujWFQH4H
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOhZkw2oK4
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg0XihyxCG
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YpRrUZGTw
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6KnTwIgA
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCogrWKBoI
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk4mp87vvi
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgCF9yo8ar
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOvsxEIr59
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHWZoBmFOW
He tries to nod but he can't.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdwAplWgSi
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9ST42Vr8k
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx89GSq72nz
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYGBBGiXSB
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkCW12AmTB
He looks up into mine.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4k0Ny97q4
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIXvRlVrp3
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSNSQeJ8WM
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsJJU9ba7n
"Stay awake." I tell him.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSEgDyCmhr
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVCaTu9Py4
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjgeOQS9bV
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlyusxjN6i
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuEybMJWHM
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fhNjfBJHj
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2XKzSi33
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuiTtDehlw
He doesn't reply.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMIpmP7JfR
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ57uzMPpk
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhuqlIOuLT
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFFZhY5uO
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr5LLrrAHO
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk096ZmRqQA
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VmAfRFLn
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTEj7GoAKH
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtZPowuf90
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu3Hol6zgw
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPTBoVX2SP
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzvkDZ4TAX
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Ae5IFRUi
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3izJWRQm4
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYmh7sJY4v
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQnWCvghHZ
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yZo6Zzu7W
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ5VARN0kp
"Kiss me," he repeats.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKDKvzrOQj
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwlmvyOusy
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBJZMmmP5O
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN6AyOW64u
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ivkV9LGpq
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLFLF1w9cB
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZYozijjhu
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtUcxPVDIL
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUY3p1UKSv
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIUUD8GzeQ
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tppN1ryan
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PBYazgSXh
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRToAzjYnS
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fpqNV6wN
Electricity races through me and lingers.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCXp2etQ4e
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWOmZdHku
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowpjhi1eQB
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsgOOpRcuT
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgC8Foxow3
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMG9plU033
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHtsftg1zb
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dKIYVPo0Q
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9mRWB5R7z
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jHBAKhjoL
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7WqiQ7glw
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXy2LDJNk
"Jeremy?"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32uJaQDPbC
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTv3ELvdVr
I shake my head, not believing.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YwwFUEoBT
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjh6n7LJp0
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NUB5AapzT
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjBXXCwTXn
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE6m09edRX
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeFAeFVyM0
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwR9r857l7
1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQlrVqHcfs
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceVAL5ASRr
