PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBV39ZCh5n
He's shaking underneath my grasp.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7JGXP0X7V
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3eHLMXp5t
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW68z6L7Ja
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf75tuUDc3c
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO7AWSGvnK
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi4fWN90be
I smile bitterly.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjL1cePL6s
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcQ55ES4Sy
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnkdzcp25x
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf0WQZB0pp
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9WkOaYkIE
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wHsWjh9bB
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWOoiaIENg
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lWkFtqDQn
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqPCu6zpnT
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVweE5wKVGj
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqJb1nrlmW
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiloltKNFgY
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWiCBzjWYV
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCS4IyrwVx
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.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQcPyXdd4N
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePEqW2LY7
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL92mE12Xl
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82eVnvR03b
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyiDHNiXh3
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQcGMZ3xCG
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy2UGP8cOC
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEmpRmmEFp
I must at all cost keep him awake.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72CdzOPxFi
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd4L9975Pc
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc5tlKRlv1
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7x7w3b0pb
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx2dzLGHYB
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQkTE7frpL
"Not that long baby I promise."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqv9AfMKXV
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a86kx6lvA
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSff68G1xbS
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MqPDgcYYU
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaDIryUPmt
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAQOtFAdPp
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF6BmVYobO
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKalTdWDeD
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzVFTlNPkO
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FLtecGZE3
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaibju6GhU
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs26F7rLQ0Q
I frown at him.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEtzPApYc
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdM6x13k7
"Don't say that."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYx34AvpDj
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJwP6yraEk
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC4m9AOMYn
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHse4x3ret
I gasp.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq1jkFLHe3
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx20290o2R1
"Jere stop!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP0RIGCOBf
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZFojkUENg
He goes on.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEqu7zqEPY
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhu4Cma48L
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZxG8BHyjO
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUXlRjGXcx
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PsJAwnigK
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjucvY54klh
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OoRJQHdFl
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK0Zp0ZEyI
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajnhSulgAW
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0IdZGmwH6
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rns9qnREN
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrFqWf5CWv
"I won't."949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxtfLRM9o5
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutTH1TJ1pn
He obeys, watching me soberly.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtyRCs17VK
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphzeKUJoOC
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW4g9CCQYW
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1jJsFb2ii
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzsd14FJHS
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mlaNggrr4
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKi2vmOInS
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEGB7KApgk
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa2VcH7hhI
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdrGndJZbq
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfOQJyg5gZ
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzSNAR2E1E
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwzvmImwcr
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvibxZ28rG
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDlG6hRrju
He tries to nod but he can't.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoAszcf01M
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB58zRnI6i
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8yBHBcZTg
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuV6EILnvZ
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIMrAOtUUf
He looks up into mine.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Fksi7xYg
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZR4IkjUB9
"Don't leave me." He whispers.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLXf3HfdeG
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2HqaAHVF
"Stay awake." I tell him.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeAbX31SiK
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYw56R8wSD
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIttbqJWdh
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3i6NtdSnH
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON2WhxYXHh
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevJaCYwOXF
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIjmrEvoKd
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMs7AnbHFo
He doesn't reply.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa3c2JlHFs
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboE4pWbwFq
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexl8EaCLN7
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7bDX4YONe
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XMuN3XMIO
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGTVaJztbN
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tuSBL8b28
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa8pbAqlYp
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tOpUDyS5M
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmphgg0fdvh
"Stay awake." I told him softly.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHLGCn0zC9
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRxoUfe0Up
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8OVlNBe7i
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMKlmMiVGl
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3YG1kRQc6
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwHXknrjou
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR7hqOARQK
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4PYi6jVw
"Kiss me," he repeats.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzvfRuyEp7
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZE8AtzLR
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy7dQIjHC7
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAVRRqyafc
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCqj7M1iPe
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tUZ2Yltyt
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5Nm4l5wE
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRGqVx4ZQi
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcqKzT3HiH
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP7WL8nEPr
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkfkrY2C8L
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkIsbULafm
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjfrogCRXl
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGufR4M79n
Electricity races through me and lingers.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8MgJsKA75
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CXgm7l4ki
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcR1fgH2pF
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk3m25lBjv
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91N0IjwwF6
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSRP2l44rh
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQSzXBCv59
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbgH8jG489
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b80I90bYa
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqrMInsGQV
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp6ukd9zgl
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PATOgGwAW
"Jeremy?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpDD9CECwu
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hcntktZ5U
I shake my head, not believing.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC3KI9qdWi
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYreQSkOWZ
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63yCp6fI9P
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvZzD5ScLk
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERgFNVtMtw
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuNCCZxzzz
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC9gkW4QaJ
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ZgJWkAKl
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QtK8OzlsQ
949Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMQoR5PUzK
