PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzIHdfl9mg
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRzeM3oYdm
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreLbcohTEO
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYFRg6MYH4
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbA51kfilF
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C4PNnoEBR
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweQZkMCggd
I smile bitterly.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdiIDFkfdb
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcs585FzI6
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU9WxGas80
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdvv9W3wqW
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN25beJCsto
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBewE6D2cVV
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr783EgQX4
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscEcVMYaiW
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqObfshUB6j
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpNsArOUkD
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNg6Vbn3og
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILLqPN0Lc1
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwJsDqWyCz
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhHcTaSjgw
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.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixp0SI2N73
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBU2HWyUgk
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAZ7NfiZ0t
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDCTUQUuSa
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoko4ygBt0
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXguPph0px
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1uwQ47UyI
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7WILYCuBH
I must at all cost keep him awake.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkX8zN1ASW
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGCAn31r0c
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7WDSl7I8x
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuB1yfJOJM
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDzc6JMiL8
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS75l620P3n
"Not that long baby I promise."1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX0EiuFlmS
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWvhL5ehBC
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykylo2toAt
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVwNkrdQYx
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkZGDQE1Hg
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCo8QGDPyC
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTXq2jfKtl
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGfeq1HuwJ
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UEOoukyzj
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWnuAFnvaO
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmiHtcBqss
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHrrb1K0xa
I frown at him.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1TtZTUhGq
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID1SipZSXu
"Don't say that."1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcXOZ8paAy
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwqR3XY5JM
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42iJYQ4GNj
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzkCuDC9AV
I gasp.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrBEIOnZCk
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr0Ft8Cp5j
"Jere stop!"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHACMnjqdk
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZqnwZeXEy
He goes on.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNkyxoHxyl
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vxBNGJpc4
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82UBFU55sA
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ks8viglV
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjbh5zk6ru
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuuQ8eWGXn
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjC83unX5D
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyYcj9Svvn
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a3EF8B2s8
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZPAHh7d5r
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSpB8haYAt
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGTXJWOkPA
"I won't."1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96xdsKDgCO
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZJi0ozb12
He obeys, watching me soberly.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7x9G8Ayep
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu9j2qkTht
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzDkqrPDaP
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNONa8EkNu
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJUN6DGYTi
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS50i69DfzG
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbWfOEmo6K
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdG1QXUldm
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGjC5t6Enc
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnwUU3VgAI
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ7aWMwWxi
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxClwtcPX03
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAfOBOg7v5
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBhdlYoTCP
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Htb9AX8g
He tries to nod but he can't.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdqfpqCTxf
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzRr7dYt3P
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cjjyiv4fW
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5rFHjeENR
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqJfmBW5x
He looks up into mine.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraRbtKHNQf
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQwF2OWRcs
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qhy15W3k2
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDkUsKPMHB
"Stay awake." I tell him.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw9f4HEGyC
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhcFgN4bxS
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sSsJndJEC
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yx4uD5Ssp
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rOW3A7bfQ
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4y8b62Xy3
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaFZBFZch0
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRKZGcThGw
He doesn't reply.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLbqNCjKTr
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJfCTFD7OR
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIDLmETyQp
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFZFwIuySp
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzKVoAIxVw
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciRca1jF0x
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYSJWofyW5
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo6tNPeFGu
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVqQf2sARC
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokyuWD7jqx
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36NKIO5KxO
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MfHTWtrvR
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwVPAYqug
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLGx5jb9vY
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz57ZS1p8AO
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm3hM6v9Ix
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqkxzHjL9E
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDjBXwgpkX
"Kiss me," he repeats.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuefiyZ70mt
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo4bx3KkHD
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoyTNShFy0
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn4pXR3IKU
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMeyCVECmT
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrz8dKkwed
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccuIDyXLmz
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrZcj7z2Wy
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAPA8Eq2Qv
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6PDRKtlQa
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV4RE0Elei
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xtTAtC2ba
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O6f6V5989
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfzmdNgY6v
Electricity races through me and lingers.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWDoBuBWYq
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNBodJxElj
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx4ODAVu8X
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA6oUTCS1c
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbq38Rf1eh
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4GXl0KHAG
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSr3GxU62w
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tjR6nXcrX
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDJdrlC22c
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Zm175PiH
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj1OVgzEHI
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeDqF1G1QT
"Jeremy?"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJV9BtYSaR
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d6oLRZkpA
I shake my head, not believing.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPKxTKL6Bj
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1NHxBR9en
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTJmPQvZjE
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1YDPklAp1
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qM1WKygpu
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswqhbZZcwr
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uHfNgTK6f
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IlJ6hbTLx
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcd2TbyWrY
1001Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtA3erKrwD
