PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQbc4uCmMT
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hSWY4dcQJ
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq7uwFxY7f
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd5nI5HNqG
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31FJqYIcee
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCJ7FKft1Z
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VuxOLrvRd
I smile bitterly.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQrpgi6NW3
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2broFNYrs
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEhUmxpNaO
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqpVUD2r7O
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsJpA3dPRD
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfsoQJRlJ1
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRPjVvW94n
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NhKWvnggA
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWnwJsIkFc
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1psQuaVd4
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXTVxXUHcU
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYCraTkZWb
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibnLZ2seoU
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlTMNM18o5
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.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EUlHr7rF3
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKpQmQXA31
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8pjs83sMT
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVDWHCvs8c
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z1yd2wckw
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuVnUgOUZJ
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSecHbz6LVB
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjQAx1Uaw3
I must at all cost keep him awake.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n2mzfiG0q
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1S7ZTZo2T
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QrkTgp9Un
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF2UGj5BVY
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqSGafdKLY
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjSIO27dFC
"Not that long baby I promise."1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpbADsalFB
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHBRwtrY0v
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojh0LCy7Br
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjgQdfqTuz
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4PTvxSWWp
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrSBp8SOGd
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x329ope6G
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc62E6o2rP4
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPXN1hjbqS
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVzRPBZRCa
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmanLcgTmS
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFCpJ6l3l
I frown at him.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvQvxt62mp
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch4FHbWy0t
"Don't say that."1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7686slV4
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUWP5cwYLT
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogWHv97lAc
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzormfOH9Ih
I gasp.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkw1B2lfJv
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfAeigJqc8
"Jere stop!"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflxpiCNakH
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhDWWyOQ50
He goes on.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNScGUBkrK
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnleEKvvQof
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZUSzUQfj
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs9KsE1w90
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kRCIhDuGs
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPpUP6s7ux
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBQYLuThzY
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT0pmy6E6D
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5LlykCed3
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaahlVxDXp
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXXbmiOr2x
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYtc1Yff9U
"I won't."1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBbI9jdhqf
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPu54mtjP0
He obeys, watching me soberly.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLsP9IQJ1w
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C5qSK6ZWH
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIfqkUYavk
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlbKqUfFwJ
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPcguUf64P
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCX0KWvzAm
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3RX3qCbnU
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oOLzx3Vgy
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFhulvHuhQ
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9iCA4AMWJ
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJkBrk5YK6
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aE5qxEKoh
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65K9JD9iVQ
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6S2mJi1DP
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSnnntwAcC
He tries to nod but he can't.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD0gmZ6wZC
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sD25TWfsk
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Ga2BUBWi
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxezwSCX6q
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13YEAMNGlK
He looks up into mine.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpjpsaeCiB
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0WB9FPnlv
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDojngJUns
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Twr3ZvYMp
"Stay awake." I tell him.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq71OPbZqf
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJoP2aiABf
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo97PsHZW2s
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhprQ1AFXAe
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGHLZcpRok
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ddU8drUkM
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOeDU2p6L6
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe4tcliW6O
He doesn't reply.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5M8tCIPsX
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI7lc528oU
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Mpjj6FH4
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB1nxRVCqP
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqFde9Gc16
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULkN3oO7pA
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVDpbqbrCS
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSoUMTWM34
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq5TcOGYeX
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVB6ApkbSJ
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkSuljivPe
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKVST1PMt1
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3kSzu0nf
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEAkr1lhrK
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz1tWvYohe
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6ijKYvCx
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvbUdupY7
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnp6pcsAbq
"Kiss me," he repeats.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzFs3Z4gZL
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kchOHXdx7
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseBT766GgF
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNGGKfViUi
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67dBVugxhC
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtbZWqlAGR
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIggsPVJ7L
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuWLm5HMfI
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIXuixlLxN
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ysrDsCzS
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ7NaI7Y46
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp8a6ctYlj
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn6JzxgXbU
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiFI2JrVl7
Electricity races through me and lingers.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsN30YJqRV
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrH2LX2VCP
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GpDnMCWz7
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPsBbOMYf9
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGkNublxwJ
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXASRI2fs1
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8HAOBX0jD
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeolYkx621d
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCwrElEoXu
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmCYj5gZW1
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjC9faW3zV
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfIrNoXs2h
"Jeremy?"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzimwrzPAk
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Gq7jo3Db
I shake my head, not believing.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa3w4yypHE
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrmoN0Izu3
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q3WAAxKhX
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLijdmg4qmw
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTNhH09EDy
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SUfqUfsvj
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06OvDSJE4S
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwt3nfBCj
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uPgMMpsxE
