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 at me with 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

grandmother to me.

The dinner didn't end well. Mr. Anderson walked out after Grams' emotional breakdown. She cried and asked for forgiveness for putting me in this situation but it's not her fault because even if she threatened me to 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 home and 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.
