Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby by TheBlues

Cutting You Loose Kelly's POV I slowly turned around and I'm certain I paled when I saw two people standing a few meters away from us. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Pierce still on the floor, looking at the newcomers with a shocked face. "G-Grams..." I mumbled as I felt my throat dry.

She shook her head as she laughed nervously. "I must be hearing things. How's everyone? I missed all of you, so we paid a visit." "Grams..." Pierce pulled himself up and walked towards his grandmother.

She was the one who raised him so he loved her and respected her so much. I cupped my mouth when Grams ignored Pierce and looked away.

I took a deep breath and gathered all my courage to speak again... "Grams, I'm sorry..." She looked atwith tears in her eyes, "D-Did my grandson hurt you, Kelly?", I shook my head, "No, Grams. He's the sweetest. I-I just...I just feel like I need to let him go because we're not really meant for each other." "Kelly..." I heard Mrs. Anderson sobbing.

Grams shook her head and caressed her cheek. Grandpa immediately joined her and supported her as she almost lost her balance.

I felt my heart almost stop beating because of what happened. However, I remained in my place as I watched Pierce try to help his grandma.

She slowly nodded and smiled bitterly. "I want you two to end up together because I know you have a deeper connection. I know you will take care of each other and love each other more than anyone. I-I'm sorry for putting you in a complicated situation. I-I just thought..." "Grams..." I rushed to her and held her hands. I shook my head and smiled at her. "I know... We know your intention, that's why we tried it. We gave it a try, grams but we didn't work. I'm sorry." I'm sorry for lying, grams. I don't wanna hurt you because you're like a real 215 grandmother to me.

The dinner didn't end well. Mr. Anderson walked out after Grams' emotional breakdown. She cried and asked for forgiveness for puttingin this situation but it's not her fault because even if she threatenedto marry her grandson, without my feelings for him, I wouldn't "Kelly..." I stopped in my tracks after Pierce called my name, almost a whisper. We're now hand I couldn't face him. The conversation with his family didn't really end well. Even if Grams said it's okay to choose myself, I know I'm hurting her inside. I know she's brokenhearted. "Did you...mean what you said?" His voice sounds tired and lifeless.

I pressed my lips together and tightened my grip on my pouch.

Heaving a sigh, I slowly turned to face him. He was looking straight into my eyes as if he was actually waiting forto look at him.

"I mean everything I said, Pierce." He swallowed hard. There was something in his eyes. Confusion, pain, and thankfulness. I don't know why he's being like this but I'm not doing this just for him. I'm doing this fortoo. I want a complete family for my baby, but I'm not gonna settle for the small things he can offer. I love him, but I will love my baby more.

"Kels, you're not drifting apart because of this, right?" My forehead creased. He expectsto stick to him even after all of these? He's selfish.

"Kels..." "Pierce, I'm tired. Let's talk tomorrow." He sighed and slowly nodded. He walked towardsand planted a kiss on my forehead. I squeezed my eyes closed as I felt my heart wrenching.

I'm gonna miss this. I'm gonna miss everything about him. His care, his love, his smile, his laugh, everything. God! If only I could stay with him. "Good night, Kels." I opened my eyes and nodded at him. I turned my back and went upstairs. He was followingand I felt his stares as I walked towards the guest room.

1 guess this is our fate. We are just meant to be best friends and will never go beyond that.

I didn't sleep well. I kept on thinking about Grams, abo Pierce's parents, and even about my baby. I felt so sick when I woke up. I quickly ran to the bathroom and puked. I groaned as I felt the bitter taste of the liquid I spit After washing my mouth, I immediately took all my clothes off so I could bathe when the door suddenly opened and Pierce entered with a worried face.

"Kelly!" My eyes widened as I looked at him. I couldn't move. I couldn't even cover my naked body.

My cheeks heated even when he had already seen my body multiple times.

His lips parted when he realized he was standing before my naked body. He immediately turned around and cursed multiple times. He's panicking and his neck is reddening.

"A-Are you okay? I heard you vomiting Are you not feeling well?" I swallowed hard and took a deep breath, I grabbed a bathrobe and answered. "I'm fine. You can turn around now." He facedand examined my whole body. His face looked so worried as his hand fled to my forehead.

"You seemed fine," he said, almost a whisper.

I gave him a small smile. Tm fine.

He clenched his jaws and massaged the bridge of his nose as he whispered..." Damn, you didn't eat properly last night. I'm sorry." "Can you order us sfood, please? I'm famished." He was quick to nod "What do you want?" "Just pasta" "Okay." He caressed my arm and cheek before he turned his back and left.

My shoulders dropped as I watched him gently close the door. His feelings. never changed. He still seesas his best friend.

My phone rang as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom. The family lawyer of the Anderson family is the one calling. I immediately answered the call... "Hello, attorney." [Mrs. Anderson, I'm on my way to your house now. I have the document with me.] I nodded as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. "Thank you, attorney. We'll be waiting." When I went downstairs, Pierce was already preparing the table for our

breakfast. I suddenly felt starving as soon as my eyes landed on the pasta. However, someone rang the V bell went straight to the door and was welcomed. by Attorney Wade Morgan. "Good morning, Mrs.

Anderson." I smiled at him. "Good morning, Attorney. Cin." "Who's there, Kelly?"

Pierce appeared behindeven before Attorney Morgan stepped his foot inside the house. Pierce's lips parted after he saw the person standing in front of us.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson." Pierce looked atso I gave him a smile. "He's here to deliver and process. our divorce papers.' Pierce didn't answer. We ate our breakfast and onlyand Attorney Morgan. were talking. Pierce is strangely silent but I feel like it's because he's worried about his grandmother. Our breakfast ended in a deafening silence and when it was tto sign the divorce papers, I felt suffocated.

I stared at the piece of paper that would completely end my relationship with my husband. Now, I'm getting back to just being his best friend but I don't think I'd be okay with that. After all of these, I think it's better forto slowly exit his life. So I can focus on my own. So I can take care of myself. | I won't deny that he madeso happy during those three years of being • Cutton You Loote married to him, But I know it's only my stolen moments.

Now, it's tto end this false happiness.

Taking a deep breath, I signed my non the divorce paper.
