PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJPRLKAWb4
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsteyblB2Ko
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQSnj5NqWM
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rm70AiD0l
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYFW73dnMC
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMMDwr8yRM
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46KCxGiffF
I smile bitterly.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASlJil0hSY
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGQJGNTXIP
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG2F8w9wQl
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa3GudMmnO
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZTulFnHkv
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2lEUeyjqp
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9oduNJqLf
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqqLkRdigV
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YmVTzKvuN
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCVxLgeHxw
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS7bXzystf
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vrdQriuiu
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1VA9voOyF
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtI7yLj6qP
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio67Wl09vg
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmDl0bra2W
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QXXhAbJI
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYhbFFxydL
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKytuTElqm
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxUV4t4Lr
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cg1fLRUy3
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekHkm2x44J
I must at all cost keep him awake.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi1IAhBCGT
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcaaENJQde
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTSvC3UPD8
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYVCYWFI3o
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sx9gN1BrT
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZtRypADa0
"Not that long baby I promise."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oIrB1ybIt
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm7hUKdZGk
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInvRRSZ9OJ
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bdhh4qBJV
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKmeNew6aT
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EYOp38aDU
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30SQcSjdYt
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKaGr3JGo8
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeE2qEO75k
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcnEQVUitB
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxw4OcgZR3
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzx7YvL341
I frown at him.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FHNUIYgSO
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTw7XfmKZL
"Don't say that."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypd8oebG08
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9q6HP3Bae
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ8CSgMMNI
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3GghQg1Sf
I gasp.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSJFamLpav
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpZrYw06ej
"Jere stop!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPntd9PSG4
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvXcO1uy7p
He goes on.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBiHYRGie7
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1laH6TDS4l
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCz6p7JTDn
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRHBASXIZu
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RIBwAsB5u
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a6MFhJlS0
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39SHvtH5mQ
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDH0n1c5AN
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFALGuo5IUW
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tS6UzD05l
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtY38yBtsR
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf8FqDgiL6
"I won't."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q0w9XHdLA
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5t4BFOy3t
He obeys, watching me soberly.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJvBA7wP6c
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnaexe1DWs
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr3UtiSXRn
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmFET3pZWv
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYJqyfHE1W
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzy4lnvbbn
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZKViUR59L
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Tz1wuxWx
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETZNxLZzu8
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p5f9hbKOp
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYrAV1WLz4
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc3MJvBvSW
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ddkLiO37
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhIiqbVjzN
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI1EWHrA6d
He tries to nod but he can't.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMLi5AISFD
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffZnEyL4bK
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDonX9muai6
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdojgJRRmP1
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcshzObCFZi
He looks up into mine.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UbpnFs6N9
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MVk352EoE
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0JXhiEGad
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrok1t5EKuV
"Stay awake." I tell him.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hEPohulVb
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFT7V2tSKL
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobVaXFHeMk
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjbrO2mJxi
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV3aFShnAp
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7wD1QfVY0
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlkd1a7Y1G
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUKJ7XFfc0
He doesn't reply.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AuFlmBrkp
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuq7nFcPRh
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Apfe2ZPhU
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHijZ9fQtuK
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ndFpJ7hSk
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvjfc89xvy
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2RVhJauq3
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdqlLP61SH
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC06vmOvEXu
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1HbUkXeFS
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvXA1l2FEw
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8BkjPaQfQ
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ja3esArGk
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgK0VfxH0H
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn8yaeOSO4
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gVEoobMwt
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDrOmzv7iX
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIZg84UHXa
"Kiss me," he repeats.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rt1Pi6Vik
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TBbzoLWX
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytIqDEMcvN
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUkxRYY5vX
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MUyJO9dxT
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2klO1asexI
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ5n1MiTOq
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VoSGHMKTf
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHwdLFiDpt
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGskXflUPKp
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l7VtTfNHv
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln83mgfTii
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn3RQXbblq
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalwBKkngEa
Electricity races through me and lingers.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrKhPEbNII
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsi7RD2xGW
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQvGZgY1K4
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIJ7XpLrm9
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR8zxhMbFz
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrvJUpfTTm
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEdNn2HpdC
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQlZK1Nlfr
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXMGRAMTfT
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgKV9cKlC1
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MbP6eoysZ
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0II9ReyxWD
"Jeremy?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLti0KOrk
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkYN4yCtGO
I shake my head, not believing.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WoXAKhaH8
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct0kBRf66P
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHcDdrs2Yc
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzqEwZx9Md
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK9fU4aIlr
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwYP3OlzH5
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsIcBJAeH7
1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXvz7vW2WT
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYisVarBZi
