Kelly’s POV
How did he find me? I don’t know what to do while standing in front of him. He was holding my hands while kneeling in front of me. The corner of my eyes pooled with tears. Seeing him like this breaks my heart. I let him go so he can finally be happy with the woman he truly loves but why is he like this?
His hair grew. He even has facial hair now. His eyes has dark circles around and he seemed to have lose weight.
“H-How did you find me?”
He shook his head, “I’m sorry. I-I’ve been following you.”
I squeezed my eyes closed and pulled my hands back. “What are you doing, Pierce? Why are you doing this?”
My heart feels so heavy. The content of his diary was still messing with my mind and now he’s here, messing with my heart. Why is he so complicated? Why is he doing this to me? He asked me to let him go because he wants his first love back, now he wants me back? For what reason?
I pressed my lips together and looked at him with a hardened expression, “You should leave, Pierce. You’re just drunk.”
“No, Kelly. I know what I’m doing even when I’m drunk. I want you back and I’m certain that when I wake up tomorrow, I’d still want you back.”
He tried to touch my hand again but I angrily pushed him, “You can’t just do this, Pierce! You can’t ask me to let you go and take you back whenever you want. I’m not some toy you can play with. Stop messing with me!”
“I-I regret it...”
My lips parted as I sucked my breath. I looked away as I felt that my tears were about to fall. He regret it? Guess what? It’s too late for him to regret it.
“It’s too late, Pierce.”
“No, Kels. Please give me another chance. I will do better this time. I will love you right this time. Just give me another chance, please...”
I laughed sarcastically to keep my tears from falling. He’ll love me right this time? What if I give him another chance and then he realizes that he loves his first love more than he loves me. He’ll ask me to free him again?
“Your feelings were so messy, Pierce. You are just confused. You’re mistaking guilt for love—”
“I’m certain about my feelings this time, Kelly. I love you!”
I gritted my teeth. I heard my neighbors opening their doors and looking at us now. Pierce doesn’t want to leave so I have no choice but to drag him inside my apartment. I locked the door and pushed him to sit on the couch. I searched his pockets, trying to find his phone. When I got it, I showed him the screen.
“Put your passcode.”
He stared into my eyes like a wounded animal, “It’s our wedding anniversary.”
My heart skipped a beat. I swallowed hard and immediately looked away. This is ridiculous!
To redeem my crazy self falling into his scheme again, I looked at him blankly and spoke... “Put the passcode in. I forgot it.”
“Why?”
“I’m calling Lexi to pick you up,” I said coldly.
