PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDbymQYSqt
He's shaking underneath my grasp.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1u9ZHr4dy
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjArA8ghTz
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmyPEBPjeS
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijuPJYzH65
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpKH6zfcs3
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKztp4zCaa1
I smile bitterly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmdBpiOjUL
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNKzg3Sr7q
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwjK620YF5
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIlLkpPY04
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXXYulEZ8r
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzngAoHNmgY
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ4ibckV4Y
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo2Ix0m6zl
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDB5q0OzmV
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhRHrLEJs
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXctcvVFGsn
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TZwyLiJM
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kV2izOgc
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5FtQX5wx1
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.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY3EB0Omuq
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mWJ0LezPd
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF2HYgYIeD
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL7y1CzeUd
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa5jtvvYZU
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WOh4d4Y1R
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQdm7U4iZY
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9lln1YFPf
I must at all cost keep him awake.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DhFJck4WW
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdEdYhGkew
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoD1TEn2ZV
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL4SbSka9M
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY119wsc8G
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99kgmDWNGd
"Not that long baby I promise."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhPgSzYQ7m
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrdK7QJ4fK
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoAEYXs8Ac
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp2MhaMeG5
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRpGjsq78G
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZUDnASnGj
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ0kDWw59F
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg26NI4HxJQ
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbrLgSj8OH
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ0Qo7OZ6s
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM362hfmko8
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstnoPdboyI
I frown at him.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD7clLXGNY
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe8HYmD0oe
"Don't say that."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYbzkfPpP3
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIruew0Ykz
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6BLL6S5La
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzzGQ4S2u6
I gasp.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMeWPRTBfb
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFKnmxm0ER
"Jere stop!"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C5W93DIzU
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFsDyEHt96
He goes on.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHxhfrB4f8
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyUt6bHbCX
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NawHmo1cK
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IQOWwe1W4
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQqBhJOnWS
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gR9Ufy3UF
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hy16DvPK1
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr0lBzosrn
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CZzDEsDnf
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdQZqVGPLw
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTzDoA3KI2
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0uF27rHhZ
"I won't."774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04mlvSKw9a
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpUue13Yi9
He obeys, watching me soberly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm9EyDp6Ym
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhPTdKY6Ey
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSQ72HG1KT
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITcSjfLSWq
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUCmzoKsiz
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9bM4OiXPg
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pgmii0efu
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c1XzfwkSn
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisSoHeY9JG
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHpKnNc5cK
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu3kI6jOgN
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixLLebEowe
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hkOrkf932
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtsnELUSOt
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV2MnoUIMM
He tries to nod but he can't.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsM7s6x6qq
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJXxfiM5SH
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfAz7afWos
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMDJ0Ze7qN
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7nR3Hgwzm
He looks up into mine.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4pSacBytd
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXDsen3Gcd
"Don't leave me." He whispers.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6b4tYsNaW
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyOmsMnqFh
"Stay awake." I tell him.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULB7g8HXTL
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCU4g70eiT
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSokDk9RMzn
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrMuSbvoCV
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiV6SsrVue
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYqXLKFUG0
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2edDwXKUQH
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjQ3B0XmBq
He doesn't reply.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZjPvFFt1s
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dpZGjZSsP
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa8NtM5smE
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoLjuCe1dx
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBIoDZ79lr
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwB2FIhn5n
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqycXQblO8C
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84dMR1P5L4
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcTQp13sCW
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqzSBT3AC
"Stay awake." I told him softly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h75s6urPE
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRvrqoN3Su
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU1odSpxYR
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV88L3kN0h
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymPZmFusyW
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6KMhGYFa7
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh6gM1ZMns
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtZxT7Ftoq
"Kiss me," he repeats.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Zg0zcoDe
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kOuTgSpuz
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocgjMJc8QP
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel9A9whRnU
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC8IF1jebf
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4izvxmYeP
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOPyTlag58
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90b74KehJV
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDxaFPcV4y
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnqRY9pwpy
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR7LWE1CV8
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ0iyq2lIX
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDtlYh15XQ
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLA2CIa2sK
Electricity races through me and lingers.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJPG4kG7ZT
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBAXG2GdjO
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F09uTizE6
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUcVrmU7Ef
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64my7hAnrf
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9AIIiUi2s
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuciLdZSlO
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CDuppHJgZ
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFstmoJGTw
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CeBJfnvzX
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiNR5hHNqY
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK9eiIxenp
"Jeremy?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEDBf1KrqO
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QoqUP77QN
I shake my head, not believing.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmVPhyx77D
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh12jd8Rvi
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKSR5hiRPe
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8W5OafOYl
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotkvCnhaiV
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3bP7WTos8
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllD16dd94c
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b62jfM0xK
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
