Chapter 15 A Total Mess
Kelly’s POV
“W–What do <b>you </b>want from me?<b>” </b>The little girl asked with a trembling body and fearful eyes. Her tears kept streaming down
her face and she couldn’t move.
It was pitch ck around her. She didn’t know where she was and all she knew was a scary man standing in front of her.
At the age of 12, she developed a trauma that she will be carrying for the rest of her life and yes, that little girl is me.
The sudden darkness brought that horrible memory back to me and I couldn’t help shivering, “P…Please, le… let me go.”
I struggled trying to escape but felt a hand caressing my cheeks and wiping the tears that were rolling down my face.

I felt secure. I feltforted. I smelled the familiar scent of a man before Ipletely lost consciousness.
“Kels, open your eyes, please…”
Slowly, I opened my eyes. A white ceiling weed me and from the corner of my vision, I saw Pierce’s worried face.<fnff16> This content belongs to </fnff16>
“Kelly<b>?</b>” Another person popped up behind him. It was his mother who was looking at me with a

Hospital? I panicked! No! They can’t find out about my pregnancy<b>! </b>

“There was a power interruption in the venue because of an electrical problem. It’s alright, sweetie<b>. </b>No one’s gonna hurt you,”
Mrs. Anderson held my hands<b>, </b>caressing them.
She knows that I was kidnapped before and she thought I was panicking because of it. They didn’t know about the baby<b>? </b>1
“Are you okay<b>, </b>Kelly? Are you hurt<b>?</b><b>” </b>Mr. Anderson asked and even when his eyes were cold, he looked genuinely worried.
I felt tears in the corner of my eyes. I pulled my hand from Pierce and wiped my tears. I nodded and smiled at them. “I’m fine. Thank <b>you</b>. I–I just…I just had a bad dream.”
Mrs. Anderson sat on the bed and caressed my cheek. She shook her head, “It’s okay, sweetie. It was all just a bad dream. No
one’s gonna hurt you again.”
I nodded and sniffed I calmed myself down although I was thinking about my pregnancy. They seemed clueless. <b>I </b>wonder if
they already talked to the doctor.
I saw Phoebe sitting on the couch ying on her mobile phone. I bit my bottom lip. I haven’t talked to her about what she heard and I don’t think she has ns on telling her parents about what she learned.
Pierce’s eyes were on me, watching me but I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. I want to avoid him. Especially now that he might learn about my pregnancy I couldn’t let him know. I don’t wanna let them know
Someone knocked on the door and <b>opened </b>it. My heart <b>skipped </b>a beat when a female doctor entered wearing a beautiful smile She looked at everyone before boring her eyes on me and her smile slowly faded as if she saw the desperation in my
<b>eyes </b>
“Doctor, how is she?<b>” </b>
I swallowed hard as I stared at the <b>female </b><b>doctor </b>She started walking towards my bed, not taking <b>her </b><b>eyes </b><b>off </b>of <b>me </b><b>as </b><b>I </b>continuously chanted in my mind the word ‘please don’t‘.
Chapter 15 A Total Me
The female doctor averted her gaze and smiled at Mrs. Anderson beside my bed, “She’s fine, Mrs. Anderson. She fainted because of panic but she’s fine. There’s noplication or anything. She’s…safe.”
<b>I </b>was able to breathe properly because of what the doctor said. I looked at her again and slowly nodded my head, thanking her for hiding the truth. She smiled at me before she left again. She just told us that I can now go home.
<b>“</b><b>You </b>should go home now. I’ll take care of her,” Pierce said to his parents.
Right! They didn’t know that I was now living in a condo. If they learned that our divorce is now processed, they’d get mad, especially Pierce’s dad.
“Take care of her, son.” Mrs. Anderson kissed my cheek before they left.
I took a deep sigh and bit my bottom lip when we were left alone together. The silence is killing me. I remembered that someone kissed me before I fainted. Was it Pierce? But why did he kiss me? We had divorced and were only best friends now.
Best friends shouldn’t kiss, should they<b>? </b>i
I cleared my throat and was about to speak when he spoke first.
<b>“</b>I’ll send you home.”
My heart clenched. He forgot that kiss or he didn’t care about it at all? Yes, that’s right. That must be a mistake or even an
illusion. I didn’t need to talk about it only to embarrass myself.
“No, thanks. I can go home by myself.” I shook my head and grabbed my bag. I took my phone out and dialed my driver<b>. </b>
“Are we going to fight over this again, Kelly<b>?</b><b>” </b>
I looked at himnguidly. “I’m not picking a fight.”
He sucked his breath and clenched his jaws. He looked away and didn’t respond.
<b>I </b>ended the call and looked at Pierce. “I want <b>a </b>peaceful life, Pierce. I don’t want stress. I don’t want a problem. <b>If </b>you didn’t notice, Lexi has been shooting me daggers during the party. I don’t want a fight so we should draw a boundary between us or <b>you’ll </b>see me fighting with your first love.”
He looked at me angrily. “Why don’t you just tell me the problem<b>, </b>Kelly? Tell me personally so I will know. Not like this. Tell it to my face instead of shoving unreasonable alibis to my face. You just want me out of your life<b>, </b>right? Right? Because I hurt <b>your </b>pride when I divorced <b>you</b>? Am I right?<b>” </b>2
I looked at him nkly. “I’m not shallow.<i>” </i>
“Yes<b>, </b><b>you </b>are! You’re being childish! For God’s sake<b>, </b>Kelly! You’re gonna throw away our friendship just because I hurt your
pride<b>?</b><b>” </b>
I gritted my teeth. “Yes! That’s my reason. I want you out of my life because I can’t ept that you will throw me away just
because your first love is back.”
He palmed his face. “Who said I’m throwing you away? You’re being selfish, Kelly! I love her! And you know that I love you
too so I decided to let you go so you could be happy with someone you deserve.“)
Iughed sarcastically. <b>“</b>You can’t even <b>stand </b>seeing me with someone else<b>. </b>How can I be happy with someone I deserve,
Pierce<b>?</b><b>” </b>
<b>“</b>Chris is not a good man! He doesn’t <b>deserve </b>you!”
“Then who? Who deserves me, Pierce<b>?</b><b>” </b>
He was rendered speechless <b>He </b>couldn’t answer as he <b>stared </b>into my eyes I know now <b>He’s </b>confused <b>He’s </b>confused <b>by </b>his own feelings He loves Lexi <b>but </b>he can’t <b>be </b>with her because he feels <b>like </b><b>if </b>he started dating her, he would lose <b>me </b>How pathetic<b>! </b>
I got off the bed and stared into his eyes. “Why don’t you give me a year, Pierce? Leave me alone for a year and try to figure out what’s wrong with <b>you </b>because from what I see, <b>you </b>don’t want to let either of us go.”
“You are trying to hold us in <b>your </b>maniptive hands, Pierce. You’re a mess.”
