PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1GDsY97Dk
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey8Tlg1Mzk
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63XAnFe0Z0
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabjxVwCM1v
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMxKm94Jnp
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXrRw1fdUp
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIIcpzWhcg
I smile bitterly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXiyzU9i9y
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH6PQnjJps
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAFKSbcSG7
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tz4yxI4AO
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBGrGDEIZs
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREqqu6z2U2
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXmWkRmD9u
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrtbDzNaRg
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfzTlLVxO7
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyTcO97Ct8
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8PuyJpgET
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXr6D9z2Tz
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIg4dOGMZv
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNondLkgIE
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.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA5LhWFiIj
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZU7ZCfu2n
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tw6kOlg4r
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeSR2GNT2O
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sR9HBewfJ
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mLkWgFYSw
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFzRiGOPt4
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJZ8UKIYOe
I must at all cost keep him awake.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CVF7SmqxZ
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOMZvyL5wf
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrnQSlPDXh
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU8t9T69QK
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpmUQw1yM7
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgZ1UyuCBe
"Not that long baby I promise."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6xkRRgLMz
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJPl1NB24T
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBLTgvfvl
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn1HD94spp
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPSbUVr2iA
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfVEhLgjzn
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmslr0WwBCG
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDARutIthgi
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNxiY6xTY2
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8jrAlgk5l
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfH8nBUjuW
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkSFkiY9u1
I frown at him.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwzPhTQ1U3
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQxD6e2Srj
"Don't say that."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd8Ywjv26V
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YkzsrHFgr
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSLypJYbP5
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNpMbmpK86
I gasp.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTDY1ia98n
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnT8Sq1BhT
"Jere stop!"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhppPkOgx95
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaHTp64A8O
He goes on.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eTn55HUkY
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7BmADBMnE
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaSgk8tW4C
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulNTl25oS0
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qCNS3Vzq2
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ktr9K6Noj
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwIox0e1rV
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPMiiiH5bg
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXOeHbbU9T
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCLbIrPqcA
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoElNJtQObk
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ok1UbsNV
"I won't."1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2jwlbn7zF
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhohMU4My3u
He obeys, watching me soberly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RdvwhntoS
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypoQejCDAN
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwsu3pEH0u
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMudj8X378U
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOVpNNlG9y
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZn1zLclxw
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuNvfS4W3t
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Ok53QHNI
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkueSDXUs7q
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTwhV2TEii
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8vh5Z3MXd
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunke2Dizi2
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyZjajNei2
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaylN54erw8
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEzUhjZco0
He tries to nod but he can't.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDAku9UVzs
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R8e5ISxBN
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZGBFu69X1
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0inDqt1LN
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ7FTkkvUX
He looks up into mine.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCvhU9JRqx
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjqa6YArYA
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDxAcXYTTB
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBiCEGNona
"Stay awake." I tell him.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vd7O2jCWF
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrF82kEGIw
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GUbvqM1Ku
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6VtBG0eKw
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmzY20MlA8
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9UbYfxD1h
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYjTHYKrNL
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWJrrUBEtw
He doesn't reply.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEbSXX6drd
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZbB6rwqmj
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFER5ZsJ2k
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAzexaQUUA
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Jvrlt5bs
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpabtE284AY
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIn3PBQVcf
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv0PDH6hoL
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yDZlflSin
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ9nbyvmKw
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt2pVJ6or9
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JWwPjyAXP
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8hACCFy1T
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWLcytNGXl
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQ6nqJ8np
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXEWIhBqN
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2XQnSkJhP
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w4vmxTZ7J
"Kiss me," he repeats.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxawKmRAHz1
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns3Qvh8mO3
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxEeIIbyaN
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgvewhmxc3
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehzb3MN6If
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIFmfy537i
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfSsqL7XYq
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLUlOmlyl
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2LSXr3rqM
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNiLc2HipE
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdu9aNivYt
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UOzCJCWD
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohe7yqdSVn
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGarU0MS2sN
Electricity races through me and lingers.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnktiJhh7G
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviAUMJdmur
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1miUhFRqx
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMlSe6Lqko
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lEU48QDi6
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2CHHiTg1z
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqUkg7ekP3
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVk5jVpIsg
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAfWxdr1Et
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW22oPIiegM
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7wUlUZBiO
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjmCOAvrK0
"Jeremy?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZqW5AHZl4
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIjPqsT06n
I shake my head, not believing.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOnGM4uP8Y
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C3MvXlNvN
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc6BZ0uNT9
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19KnOU77ez
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hyQWCwuu8
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6qAzvb9O7
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlDuruDKcx
1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMnIYfzwbo
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz955ETtqG
