Far Away From You
Pierce's POV
I'm exhausted, dizzy and sleepy when | got inside Lexi's condo unit. Mom was the one who greeted me. and she
looked worried
| held her shoulders and hugged. "Mom. Where is she?"
"She's still in the bathroom. How's Kelly? I'm sorry. | just couldn't convince Lexi to cout."
| nodded at her. "You can go hnow and rest, mom, I'll handle this."
She nodded. "Okay. Talk to her calmly. Whatever your decision will be, I'll be here to support you."
Clenching my jaws, | nodded again. After mom left, | knocked dn the bathroom.
"Lexi..."
"Pierce?" Her voice was shaky and hesitant.
| took a deep breath. "Cout. Let's talk."
The door swung open and Lexi threw herself at me. She looked so happy but when | pulled her arms from my
neck, her smile slowly faded. "Let's talk about us now.
She smiled again. Her eyes twinkled. "You're here because you chose me, right? Let's get married. | already
chose my wedding dress and your- ""Lexi, | want out."
Her forehead creased. "What?"
| clenched my jaws and sucked my breath as | stared into her eyes. "I'm tired of this, Lexi. I'm sorry."
"What? What?" She screamed. "What are you saying? You can't do this to me. Pierce! | will really kill myself this
time!"
| laughed sarcastically. "So, | was right? This was just your scheme?"
Her lips trembled as she realized what she just said. She slowly shook her head and tried to touch my cheek but |
took a step back and looked at her with anger. "No! No, Pierce. You can't do this to me. You can't leave me!"
Tears rolled down her cheeks. | don't wanna hurt her more. | can't be with her when my heart yearns for Kelly.
This will make the both of us miserable. "I'm sorry, Lexi."
"No, Pierce! No! No! | can't live without you. | can't..."
| shook my head. 1 can't stay with you anymore."
"No!" She burst into tears and tried to reachagain but | took another step back.
"This is my fault," | said. "If my feelings weren't messy, this would never happen to us."
"Pierce, please... Don't I-leave me. I-l won't pull this stunt again. I-l can't live without you. Y-You know how/
| fought for us. You setfree, Pierce. You gaveanother reason to live. If you leave me, what's the point of
this life?"
