    Summary

    “You are scaring me, Jeremy.”

    There was a scuffle and shuffling, Jean’s voice further away saying something to someone, telling them to do something, breaths more ragged now. “Jeremy, what’s going on?”

    “I’m sorry,” Jeremy said again. “I’m sorry, I tried, Jean. I really did. But I’m so tired of trying. I just need it to stop.”

    “Oh, oh mon–” Jean swore in French. “You did not. Jeremy, you did not.”

    “I’m sorry,” Jeremy whispered. He leaned over so he was lying on the ground now, curling up on his side so the phone was wedged between his ear and the ground. His head felt light, his body numb.

    “No,” Jean sobbed. There was a horn somewhere. “No, you did not, Jeremy. Why?”

    “I’m so tired,” Jeremy mumbled, his eyes slipping shut. It was all going fuzzy around the edges now. His chest did not feel so tight anymore. “I just wanted to hear your voice one more time.”

    “Non, non, keep talking to me, okay? Keep talking, stay awake.”

    “Too tired,” Jeremy slurred, his eyes remaining closed.

    “You are okay, you are going to be okay.” Distant shouting, another horn.
