PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0NokHT9sj
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DLj6LEq4d
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmYgVJPPUF
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2QVyNot94
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhYm6hwwsE
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmARdAEmYEB
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvZI2zSBLF
I smile bitterly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfCdGyQxjl
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QiHOusah3
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg4mbMXeIf
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwEOVm8rPB
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzO5T5iiFf
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX9BJfsT79
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHvVWq2EaX
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIH0PkkcQx
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58GYf816s
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbwKRQZP4L
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQV9JGOjFR
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyR5W7aKs3
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukcV66CBzp
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxdhhyYwCU
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.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslSljDhjQ4
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wWFmbwsyh
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJKnh4uWnu
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwjSfkweSW
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCLDEyZd28
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4z9VtZ06g
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmryfuxogk
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sghgybJ2t
I must at all cost keep him awake.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd2E1zXwkD
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HtzcD76Hl
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LpFoe1rkx
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBDpk9Xnck
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06pRfAzVuc
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IURvuuxNR
"Not that long baby I promise."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMeQs31tGp
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ805DFNb0JG
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDflktsDqQB
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb3XoCefdr
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnwY7wYoJb
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieyt1fsck7
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhle9coNlbW
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkgcQJdKZr
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW7HQIX5pe
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ5NmkWrrw
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIP6npUIRH
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqmp0ADG6
I frown at him.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIiD6brnGs
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqclQyxqAX
"Don't say that."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjOklwZw8z
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7qAEKaV7r
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM2ByCaRZi
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh3I4F06bm
I gasp.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OIKfmx6qF
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqMTeOKI3a
"Jere stop!"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkvmCg3sB8
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0jCQI3ARc
He goes on.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5bp5Tz4yX
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOARM00zIz
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5tdhiH3Lc
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtopXA7yFgM
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE4MzM1fTG
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v00PzQPCM
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kJD50P3rA
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoR8fXYJWr
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWe4wD6Ir
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPoUvpdMjc
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3VytwOpoF
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJcd6VNTRA
"I won't."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q675IFyGo
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbOaDmhSpr
He obeys, watching me soberly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizxhixOPV6
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZDKW9Q6e2
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqe4NgsJDT
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLOLdd871u
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bJDJ9EkDh
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpvjSfsich
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcLUyWuMgV
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvdZGM2ekU
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhqVBU99LZ
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlovxvHLWf
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qab9SmKfX
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAoZVt8Aag
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7KfF6zDuf
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiyYAvNWGW
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos0nIrEMQq
He tries to nod but he can't.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7dD6pfPjU
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLk7NjtmlL
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0c3ncep7h
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiuIOdFGTA
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2De2FMHe0K
He looks up into mine.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGhDNTwOIY
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg9n7FiCPQ
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOptF9aKC6u
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSdPM9BwI3
"Stay awake." I tell him.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TNfTOqazA
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbjyruK7mE
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n82F7hzdQ
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTbYNw5bRm
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ifqYqlgJ
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghyjxYVyNQ
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ftQP8wCie
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLFAVhIPkU
He doesn't reply.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOOBaT84w
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqut8YDmn1
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuf7p7KwVF
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknQ3g71Wmk
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC1cJLMDkT
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AdniIqDl
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8h6dbBoxj
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF9BFMnCQM
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUulvyKA0QT
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gdHsLQ8RY
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTh9mwjmY
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNYrzfnJz4
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgybWkTKc0
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGgaLzDXIg
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdALat4rPS
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bdwJugGfT
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60vdSKCBf6
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODcMfjdLg
"Kiss me," he repeats.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9xPaDmILz
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJeV4bJCpV
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Z7x6fqrG
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7u0VW4T3
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRTC8DA3ot
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYD65QkMwU
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyoXcyGQd5
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Gk9TEAuY
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsOhHgBhhB
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSa4MEG8H3
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCEbaVUoCJ
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAisk6GuA60
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJWbKvQ56w
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQL0T5kEoD
Electricity races through me and lingers.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7hDUo2dxG
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4QMYW2a7l
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWxMjzXRrD
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdG0zwcoLA
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapgqNOByLb
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxyBleTSsn
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvIXRqotcK
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzE1KLVPHY
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXHGWzfUYz
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGvMUy9S1n
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemeeQv6mMg
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMy8IGHPnZ
"Jeremy?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAmsWHdzjk
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjBMHwEMYc
I shake my head, not believing.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1flxoL1wS
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtlbMZhrx4
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqPQMKQcKL
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswFMbIrTm
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidizsiVz6K
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6K9jXoyBY
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNUXj1sptE
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9xKrNeBW7
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5PybTsjlN
