Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby by TheBlues

Pierce's POV

| pulled away and stared at her face. Swallowing hard, | moved away from her.

If it's just me, | would still kiss her to my heart's content. If it's just| would grab this opportunity to make up

for my mistakes and ask for another chance but | know it will never be easy especially after everything she's

been through. The first man she trusted hurt her, her father. | hurt her too. She fell in love with Klay Carver, but

he lied to her and hurt her too.

Kelly has been wounded eversince and taking advantage of her like this shouldn't be an option forto make

her loveagain.

She must've been traumatized by the pain we inflicted in her. If insist on doing this just to feed my longingness

and force her to reciprocate my love for her, how different am I from a rude thief trying to rob her of a good life?

"I'm sorry. | shouldn't have done that," | said and swallowed hard again as | pulled myself up.

She stared atwith a blank face. | can't read her expression. Ever since she broke down in the airport because

of the death of her father, | saw the changes in her. She's not showing her emotions anymore She became

cautious in her every move. She becaloof and it tooka few months to gain her trust again.

L

| don't wanna break her trust by letting my emotions get the best of me.

She looked away and yawned before she pulled herself up and spoke. "I think | need to rest."

| nodded and helped her. Although she allowedto accompany her upstairs, | still feel guilty and awkward

because of what I did.

| kissed her. She let me. | don't know if that kiss means anything to her but for me, it means a lot. | missed her.

So damn much!

After | dimmed the lights in her room, | locked the door and rested my back against the wall. | squee my eyes

closed and grabbed my hair as | took a deep breath, shaking my head.

| hope this won't change her treatment. She was cold toduring our primary months here. | don't wanna

experience that cold treatment again.

When | entered my room, | saw mom calling my phone. | immediately picked up her call and one of the first

things she asked was about Kelly.

[What took you so long? How is Kelly?]

dropped my body on the bed and lifted my left arm, staring at the wristwatch Kelly gavetogether

with a Christmas card.

"She's fine, mom."

[I'm glad. How about her baby?]

"The baby's fine," | answered and | couldn't help but smile. "She'll deliver her soon."

[Her? Oh my! It's a girl. Take care of her, son. We hurt her so much before. So the least thing we can do is keep

her and her baby safe. At least that way, we can make it up to her.]

| nodded. "How about the investigation on dad-Mr. Monroe's death. Mom?"

[The case has been announced closed. Klay Carver was almost held accountable for Kelly's

disappearance. | tried pulling sstrings to make Klay Carver a suspect for Kelly's disappearance but | think

his connection got even more stronger. The officer who's handling Kelly's case dropped it.] Clenching my jaws, |

massaged my temple and shook my head. Of course, Klay Carver would do everything to save himself.

"Don't do anything again, mom. He might hurt you.

[Don't worry about me, son. Just focus on Kelly.]

"Wait, where's Lexi?"

[Oh! She's in her condo.] Mom sounded hesitant to tellbut she did in the end.

"Can you check on her? She's angry with me. She's threatening to do something to herself."

[0-Okay. I'll check on her.]

"Thanks, mom."

After the call ended, | stared at the ceiling thinking about everything that happened. My feelings for Kelly haven't

faded and believe it or not, I've lost my feelings for Lexi. It started when | realized she's not the sLexi | loved

before. She changed so much. She's paranoid, she's always jealous and now she's threateningto hurt herself

if | still refuse to go back

Going back means leaving Kelly here and | can't bear to leave her alone. Kelly needsand | won't be able to

sleep in peace at night if | leave her here knowing that Klay Carver might find her.

| prepared myself to witness Kelly avoidingagain the next morning, but she didn't. She's actually comfortable

as | talked to her about what she wants for breakfast. | don't know if I should be thankful for that or be sad

because that only means she's not affected by the kiss. She's completely overand | admit that it hurts.

| don't want her to get over me. | want her to still lovebut that would be too much to ask.

While Kelly was sitting on the couch reading a book, | was sitting on the stairs tuning my guitar. When |

strummed the guitar, | saw her paused and slowly turned to me.

| didn't want her to seestaring at her like a wounded animal so | looked at the guitar and started humming a

song.

| tried to lift my face again and look at

her but she caught my glares fim

"Hmm." | cleared my throat and looked away again. Fck! | feel like a teen caught by his crush stealing glances.

"O-Oow!"

| was interrupted when she suddenly groaned as if in pain. When | looked at her, she's caressing her baby bump

while shifting seats uncomfortably.

"Kelly!" | ran to her and squatted beside her. "Hey! What's wrong?"

She looked atwith a discomfort visible on her face. "1-It kinda hurt. | think it's the early sign of labor."

My breathing hitched as | stared at her face. Swallowing hard, | nodded and pulled myself up. go to the hospital

"It's not due yet."

"We should

"It's okay," | said, almost panicking. "I don't wanna go crazy bringing you to the hospital on your due date while
