PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7dH1yvxZP
He's shaking underneath my grasp.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWr1pBWyZD
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kIi0rArQS
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc26FNo04uR
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxSVtXDUEo
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWB117PfCF
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGvxhcE4OI
I smile bitterly.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLKwsk6HBb
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYi47EiamW
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqwiABRLFi
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g9z1krbG9
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NCa1WFRhc
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4joahKmYvi
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBalhFr269W
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD5bSskFfP
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR66hGINS66
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel1wrMYc4P
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx7eGFXZac
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK5j8kg5aU
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPDqrEDpGq
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueZYSduPDb
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.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phxFVBWNW
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvkmkkULSQ
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcogJ0q2gJV
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAhFcVUTFQ
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh5A2yGIRT
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1kN9QLClT
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLssDWea1Q
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JMHn7L0z
I must at all cost keep him awake.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQi11Z4IHL
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF4qx19oOg
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEZSUrIqHQ
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BPxFj3hXR
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCThGDypVnr
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFEfWNu5iJ
"Not that long baby I promise."684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHDcHwWbfZ
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYqNY3wj8b
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHFxNOzRt8
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq5kpF404e
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV16ObsvoB
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5SHQJPwd
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDC36Q38FB
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczows7id2m
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uPkZMp6l9
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9GXeH2umY
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocw7yBJolX
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolClSwplnx
I frown at him.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j33hsntUW
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vadv3Wb3r
"Don't say that."684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEWQ0IeTue
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkABBtjhUv
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ641jrIZktN
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2koTnLvPI
I gasp.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJcNpNCfl5
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB36laNnCH
"Jere stop!"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xiL8W0lR6
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdyjCjYpc4
He goes on.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQWkT7qYJJ
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzwGU6tld
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1UClIOD4s
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSSLLwz6a
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6Rlowb2OG
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqNUnetzrA
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmLbKAsIju
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftohTzkty5
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZCWKXgV1
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgDje4uZcY
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMcc02ByqB
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQhqUzLnS9
"I won't."684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzv98y2960
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIgGxlojhm
He obeys, watching me soberly.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPG96cRlNn
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsgIzc22YP
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2xwWwWsky
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvsWu64xOa
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrkNrnFcrG
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNnobe207
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAIsd8Fgg5
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAGPg5Dsyh
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdINmhZMpJA
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWESbYDK76
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVLns1vPCP
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN3bmvBNQA
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMhBnQ9ecr
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uAFJsJlb3
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY0VfuInzY
He tries to nod but he can't.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AvMSjiRQI
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqabYwW7ZK
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUCmgFZBaW
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ZeZ6lDJf
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEJSVqaenx
He looks up into mine.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7puNvdRzR
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4H7JW2MUk
"Don't leave me." He whispers.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTumXWlHkV
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkp9josziE
"Stay awake." I tell him.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBL6sF8PQF
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDPhQIH2BC
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuiDOllGH7
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysRkwnCHWW
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs0k4PRXGd
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFM1UD9zkB
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCIFgxOz4h
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutjSMsQFrp
He doesn't reply.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgVwKXuOAo
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSNLptVMrk
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKgIqeMK2c
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXswsSanAY
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOXLDFbsN7
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ2BcSH4iM
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPh3yYf4r2
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW5PU4Ki6c
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTK297vozN
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqrVfRBl5x
"Stay awake." I told him softly.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJXMxJ4rVo
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieBuymRyHe
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYybKwsUem
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ugv2Jiuqc
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM8MUqmpxq
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jfC31mdf9
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXBd5K02ds
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMamq51cnN
"Kiss me," he repeats.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3FPyFDF5u
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGybyRaltG
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gMQgBp6Gg
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYgOOVxn1B
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuicsec2tfC
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDcdCVkXim
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmJTFw9tNt
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IgcptRFkJ
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBuPtZTnUQ
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glsCsQEbd
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0dFmG8F3g
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMLbCF3DL1
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuIbcgDVhe
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuLHS42ebA
Electricity races through me and lingers.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxxpnh5m4b
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRRrU9gzlb
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOSjdhjWq1
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNexR7qXhR
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKx3YO1ZMY
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVWnkNJxZ1
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9azc4QTL8
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tz9RpCE2S
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndecSoAg3e
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcOFDmRK7W
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xzU0uyh7O
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih0Ncm1zBa
"Jeremy?"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnnGhYKd8L
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbHrEF9XGA
I shake my head, not believing.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpvuKvuyIf
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1qvrxFpJM
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlcwk0S8oD
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrXSioCMKj
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZZS98qXXn
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W1Xl0flrn
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVCj8EWsEj
684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIDTdNhfKa
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.684Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4I6HGUtk3
