PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd10P3O7oKQ
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs3BbjLDXj
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldjYTLpIcR
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK3a6N9y6U
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71FMjjLUGp
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wXWXZVaVN
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvbR5uzYoQ
I smile bitterly.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLQfE9OcpH
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dGK6SaDIs
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqBmH9DOCT
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuUA9ClahB
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWljUFdtf
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeuNeMMKpa
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6TdmLPbeH
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK4Xyrng5d
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl23CRtlZ0q
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkck50mcgf
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQsYmWccii
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWixvLDCUgC
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjAnrjyFBs
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUVuvsw8aV
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblUYPbmd1A
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDadC0dAEN
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcrrBEqGuN
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLqqKnnuja
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ugezthcYv
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTmUbx4QPR
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpteGZZbeBu
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZD0NDkaNv
I must at all cost keep him awake.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XhGolfj7o
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG3bHJSEvQ
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv1RnuGDiZ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfCQb4ts6p
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpbEuEOdHA
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS4mDllqHe
"Not that long baby I promise."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyibDjX8JR
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8kCizYsLF
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrvUfS7QaN
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54koq4sjon
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRi9GKW07l
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7vAUiXV8s
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU5YZtStgz
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SScnjdmF4
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5qDPYlSjC
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfTfpi7CnA
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYh0ZveyGu
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWslPeMIiy1
I frown at him.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSB6Zq3g36
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorf1tDDSEZ
"Don't say that."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mOWfOPlUk
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipoJbI1zNk
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDisY6mJJSR
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXR7VUzmPX
I gasp.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0myHN7IgJ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFnC16ANLJ
"Jere stop!"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCLWWxw2T7
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOwY3bUPtv
He goes on.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPhLazuZss
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNqCZWmFbe
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFcvtnbiCa
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnPXFCQCiP
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iWlHFQMhW
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdr7sc37yi
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgHw1BI58w
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd3GmUE6fN
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmglVq2wBgq
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmamwFK40C
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0KaK6ShwF
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMohn5Oii1
"I won't."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbZJytlJvE
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjk2BUOnoH
He obeys, watching me soberly.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfquilmrk9
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUDf14nZp
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrya9MMlJg
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjw5xorxob
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzGZ34Rfy4
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WezGpAYV
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUOKLrrSkg
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QhOVG86w5
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78YSc9ZAHK
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12HFkmbZuh
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC4hXHpYDK
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aWVidaFG0
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdMaDIXPIs
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3m7m30Hcd
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW3wCKFRLq
He tries to nod but he can't.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolqdaAr4Z1
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCeHMYIToy
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMBKpa2mxI
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzhL85an9l
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZLw8ZqCqL
He looks up into mine.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69cQD7IAbE
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUzqDvMyCG
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrYligMXtw
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNzRaMskhS
"Stay awake." I tell him.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WHpjUi9v
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6dD11wVPt
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIIMPvYcnR
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ77Q4M8Ut
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVomyALWADH
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUALohIWXli
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPcITXORF1
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80aCuqlGsw
He doesn't reply.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XrywHs9AX
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNFaGgB8ya
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogXW9GpQDF
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9XgidArzY
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8bAAahLSZ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulJw2hhadk
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq8n4hOgzE
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD22nirRM7
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NnYmd5JZo
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nBEZVjRhM
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkuIbSJkSX
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u0lsrLAQB
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINpb7asZA
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZUAI8G2Ue
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOVnvX6Ijg
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2lH14OEQ6
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8tZdFfBCT
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd02sc54CZ
"Kiss me," he repeats.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1aQE4I2oL
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiSQnV9DxX
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUowiftx88
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxg70Edb2F
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b4pnq54yU
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22EGQv5vDp
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBodaoFooc
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7rQhLtyfV
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLZjGEhcFx
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrJqvWF4EC
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ll9HtG6M
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxxsFlzELW
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9POIpQZ4A8
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbik3UnPB2
Electricity races through me and lingers.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XXVfVEY4X
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yX85SHReX
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOpIYvhEmp
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WazP2JzDN
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS6PSWLFZO
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8hsj5hULh
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTyQ3adBU7
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKUvxJtDvr
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw2BFAZxHY
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4zfUWG1VW
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD3PXoOMSx
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l2Kyqg0wk
"Jeremy?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ955ZpM4ryo
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8F00iNBSl
I shake my head, not believing.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zH0gIpIjg
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW5vyZaVPk
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjs358Xack
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPN9zl7G9a
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMM2Csjxl6
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQKR6DONS
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXadeIx8Kj1
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZaIP7Se5L
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ18U8ZOlRL
