PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTzCtfHNpn
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5lax0i1Qe
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOBGdIuTMp
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLLle18pRd
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFzCmGXXHl
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc8V7T2fu6
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiMJhN9pu0
I smile bitterly.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeRFkLBPH3
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lOuZmb8M3
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod74J6t8Ri
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0nhzC0EPt
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd3ceVBSdo
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOLT2x40wn
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2U3Nqbg2e
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ215isVobTg
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCvftbXaPR
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbftjoeIAS
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsCe9NDCiw
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodtg633Pxy
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57fIB9b5gv
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvgkPfriI
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.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7siJ6Sh4nQ
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qsIJWnG7a
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUupeGIRT
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpp9P00lfQ
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvJV7cwgXu
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mSzBPVjYW
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvPPhxG6QC
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMc5nYv3AF
I must at all cost keep him awake.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOZyfRfrJk
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiZeC0JRWI
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL71EeKnGQu
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfit4EqPWa3
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0XWVoHF8t
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz72XVZ60h
"Not that long baby I promise."1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jj7pxgg1B
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR3Aluvxcl
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmz0IkandB
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF5QgE0Erm
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV3vz9ARfN
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbibSbzu97
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9GdQX8jzr
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO1DlLtsC1
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq6ZWcp1H8
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF1wesmgeF
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxVjYn10ap
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mV1qi1VnL
I frown at him.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZXCn5EOSZ
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN4TFd1B0u
"Don't say that."1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpsnZ8NX6Z
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eZRYxoB98
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHfQPKazmh
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ503ljnZmoa
I gasp.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHXapyyFCw
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEZN5KyK2O
"Jere stop!"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmmUsE33sX
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrNoXtyHnj
He goes on.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYCa5zDaHk
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSpoc381Vn
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZmfBm1tSv
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMk9RXTSgS
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXvfiPOuPV
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEMUjoLOSd
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8p1ZFxSUE
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqnzvRjRXa
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0bgp4qew9
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAoUP9SS58
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W2rLVPfwj
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK1wkZJgIB
"I won't."1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCO380FgET
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMLYRTwh6B
He obeys, watching me soberly.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsa8LNfWUr
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGo0w1nyPe
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeu9ll0Yu7
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbI2eGNFME
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwTYdBTEOu
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4xJFGoPXg
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHNIqTY6kL
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XucY0QdZ9
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yvKg3eDxb
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmIPiMQtl9
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWOSuC19fh
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52DNRmPkEb
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW7HcZfZfn
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo8bNAyRAA
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTLFpcPXMP
He tries to nod but he can't.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzDs1TuQam
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tc1cEW7a2
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEDWTrceq
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFluHThBmfw
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYCx6ngZeU
He looks up into mine.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T7EpKW1x7
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU9jkWusxp
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpTplDVOT3
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRmQraZxMo
"Stay awake." I tell him.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyqRDLvoDC
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSkmqXmBF0
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvZRuuryww
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4MJPEauaw
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJMO8zOWue
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop55Klh5Ew
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcMyDNWFe
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4nnkLQUhb
He doesn't reply.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvOAU7eEWf
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveANYBGwDE
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ZZDpaGmX
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmPG7JXpV1
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3LXYTSu2Q
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag52xj4GOR
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72cgqZh4SC
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMm0s4FNQW
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk8erzr2Zp
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk3bS8PlJR
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4GE6P5dM7
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCgTnxaP2f
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDVDANTrNZ
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvw5iyrRHZ
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLmLcLiKIs
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZvO0Y634
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOv68UwJfn
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFmYymxzwo
"Kiss me," he repeats.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKDcefNpk6
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaXsXFgMzx
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ODEpawW4K
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n6M6XY00s
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss2x5meFy0
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSmTp2vtOq
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2DEGF61l
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmtttdAShM
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFvbi31M4P
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagDDfvcDHP
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Yv1fsV6V
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSakqnUYoL
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t6UITD1qw
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXz6rMeoQP
Electricity races through me and lingers.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtf1oilX8v
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimnqgA6Jjg
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbzkk2hDFB
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nRXPWgXyc
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrFn3GJng8
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOIwVtKUbr
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX36rtqXjL
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaZm0Zhu4W
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ObdEWeoWG
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClsRrPTJEF
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbpWRENk8P
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkkmZk5Y69
"Jeremy?"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsEmMdxEW2
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRLcggdvAR
I shake my head, not believing.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqC94z85dZ
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtNzeNSzYO
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jFIEd0vGF
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAtCc42WS1
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6H28CTG3D
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQdDHhs9gP
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpz7EUB9Q4
1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq54DiO8IXX
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8EXus01VX
