PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMKE35vZVi
He's shaking underneath my grasp.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxxTo1ih3j
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dwQjnqfZJ
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhCITVW5Gz
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC5YoSoduc
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmyT5cnvxB
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ugxIkgYAk
I smile bitterly.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTAFh1IXle
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7YYNoP1jV
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQqgqyPrYv
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zLnZQkhRr
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF5Ba7P5nP
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd97PIZXFV1
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbvs8WWQMO
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1DLKiHcox
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg8FMfT9ix
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5oNpHhhTk
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTj1uhcBEW
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsah0F92lt
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnOpdmvVzU
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MVZQqL74s
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.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGwhD0nPOQ
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPelcp1qkK
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwaI9CeEdu
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVG9071KF
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJwpG3mKNU
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaqJkad2xw
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaAyuLShZk
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwlB0S4W9Z
I must at all cost keep him awake.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQavShkAoR
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrGa98YDOw
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZzE3F15ov
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gPJpPFxTa
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ODWCV5xQz
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6x8Hp6aiH
"Not that long baby I promise."1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0klWlaqr1N
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAa3QXgyF3
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsGvbLy4EB
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3AHLgSdDy
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c7bKKnR0v
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oxayw76ch
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw9LNKoUFJ
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUgZyOycsm
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqxZTRYKCa
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmCgiXbfm
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv0o0pYDH2
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOoL7Domia
I frown at him.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBTURB6V5H
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXXS3C3K8A
"Don't say that."1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmje2zZkD6
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuicvzkUuNu
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtrAbzOZF
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjgIqEGad
I gasp.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6llBhnnBb
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdPrRw6orb
"Jere stop!"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRO2s4biHE
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HsbTYvJuY
He goes on.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilUYrHlvkk
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1PGBo5dBF
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoP4nqaC5J
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv6lybpGBy
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXERhAZpj5
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzxQlu6Ptq
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbZrvBWzde
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8KJkEf93n
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxesG6NTCgC
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp36SjfnIj
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqG0puNmXB
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F9WAv3eeY
"I won't."1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxclDjOvH3t
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1amlrGRX2v
He obeys, watching me soberly.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RMxk4pe1b
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SiqSZKwvg
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATlxEgn45D
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfyPiCtV1C
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6YafyYml
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOEwL8vpD5
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv2F9tCZch
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlGpqux6qJ
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuS8N9MUFu
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUEJioNP1b
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD59xsAz1r
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0TZU5ThMC
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2XQS8XQEz
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhdFdsr93g
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnEz7qlgYb
He tries to nod but he can't.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHKzLVxTEv
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXh7yH1Hc5
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipJ3k551Ec
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrPwhsWb1H
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8EjClkQlj
He looks up into mine.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuuiE3BHDf
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hj9O9Pkqd
"Don't leave me." He whispers.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGzppP9NzZ
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzFZREjvbR
"Stay awake." I tell him.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNCtAOw3EJ
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29M1cScZCG
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92mWKEjnvJ
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27TpOWff4X
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLqOTSF6JN
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvIGi2PMuC
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Uidg1GYC
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedhQ7Yaque
He doesn't reply.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ndrYmmMR
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUiKo6geog
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym984HX6YM
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH43z7f837
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTAoTXWva9
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPhrFioNDy
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMwiMFy5qE
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaijThoGuJh
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDSxgmjQZ0
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGky4KXU7e
"Stay awake." I told him softly.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7W4qcJOW
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ixnb5IKs
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIj6aV8JL8
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HmlPI4ZPO
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlzx2UpfC
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1vciQjlkM
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I6bOdDBjd
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYRykI0An0
"Kiss me," he repeats.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwMb2iNqrS
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaM40CDMJE
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xyc6io4sY
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSwmNoP99
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3KCqR2abo
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgM69LAatH
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NoDKsR6p0
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSrq8bGx95
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXVsYXc0xj
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuqIi2nCQr
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTr30mbcc5
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa3MYtrj03
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmmkFlT9Vk
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfQedURDc3
Electricity races through me and lingers.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsl9VWmxF
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXeUQhNe9r
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Sd4AoCCI
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8Byyu1wY
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9v0Fo5Frz
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxZ5L1mChR
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY5Zn1eo2Y
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAeKjEryuk
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeWHTQOqQU
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmULkY2XdN1
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXaFDukzBq
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXMR1sYa5l
"Jeremy?"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu560Cn9LOy
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nE1tvamL0
I shake my head, not believing.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzHH3pOdTc
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoJYWLO2Mp
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELa6lXIO2O
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtj7UiPo7w
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJygtmNawqZ
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kjenLhp4x
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZOvSaQfd
1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnktq9DT8Hv
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.1341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKRMAiDo6M
