I pull up to the hospital in my mother’s car. Pierce asked me to pick her up, and I really can’t say no to her, especially not now. I make my way up to the front desk, the woman nods at me probably recognizing me from the scene I made. I can’t say that I feel bad for it. I regret nothing.
Pierce sits on the end of the hospital bed cross legged. She looks down at the phone in her hands, turning it absentmindedly. I pull mine out of my pocket,

I’m almost here, you can see me out your window probably.

I send the message and hope that she falls for it. I walk closer to the room and watch as she stands up and walks to look out the window. I quietly come up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. Pierce jumps slightly and rests her hands on mine.
“Hey.” I peck the nape of her neck,
“Hey Ry.” She turns in my arms and kisses my lips, I pull away first. I know it sounds silly but she still isn’t technically mine. I mean, In reality she and Kyle never did break up. No matter what a selfish asshole he was.
“You ready to go?” She nods and steps out of my grasp grabbing her bag, I walk ahead and tell the woman at the desk that I’m taking her home.
We get back to my house and it’s about three. I’m fairly certain my mom is meeting with Pierces parents to talk about wether they should press charges or not. I honestly don’t care. I think they should, give him what he deserves. Hurting a woman is just plain wrong, especially how badly he was doing it to Pierce. Though honestly, not much seems to be going on about the whole thing with Kyle. Pierces mother has been to pre-occupied feeling terrible for not noticing.
“Rian!” I follow her into the basement where she sits on the couch, I pull a blanket off of the end and take a seat next to her. She tucks herself into my side and pulls the blanket over both of us. We sit in silence not really sure what to say to eachother.
“How are you feeling?” I break the silence,
“Better. I hate hospitals.”
“When do you think you’re going to have to go home?” I lay my head on the top of hers and hug her tightly at the thought of her leaving.
“I could wait until tomorrow probably. I think my mom likes you.” She laughs and looks up at me.
“I’d like that.” I can’t help myself but to lean down and kiss her slightly pouted lips, making it pretty clear that’s what she wanted me to do. Pierce wraps one of her arms around my neck and starts to lay back on the couch pulling me down on top of her. She deepens the kiss making my heart pound and blood rush through my body, particularly down.
One of my hand grips her waist and pulls her up closer to me. Pierce moans softly and bites down on my lip heatedly. Oh my god. I let go of her hip and start to pull back, she loosens her grip on my neck dismayed.
“What’s wrong?” she looks worriedly up at me making my heart hurt a little inside. I can’t believe this is even a problem for me. Kyle is out of her life. He’s not allowed near her but I don’t know. It feels wrong. They never really broke up and after my ex cheated… I really can’t be that guy.
“I’m really sorry.” I can’t even look at her. Not right now, even with the remnants of the bruises on her cheeks and scratches on her body she’s still irresistible.
“There’s nothing to be sorry for. Are you just uncomfortable with that?” she touches my cheek.
“Not at all. I’m ready to go as far as possible with you but,” I sigh and feel the blood rush to my cheeks, “I don’t know. I know it’s stupid, but you and Kyle never broke up…” I look back to Pierce, she sighs and drops her hand from my cheek.
“As far as possible?” She blushes a deep red.
“Yeah.”
“Let’s do it then.” She nods and kisses me quickly,
“Do what?”
“Call Kyle.” Pierce pulls her phone out of her bag that sits next to the couch and presses ‘6’

Calling…
Kyle BF

She presses her phone to her ear and closes her eyes taking a deep breath.
“Hello Kyle… Look, I don’t care… I’m calling you for one reason only… I’m not going to accept any apology… Just leave me alone… Yes… I am breaking up with you… I thought I’d just tell you before I got a restraining order… ” I watch her carefully, her face twists up into an expression of hurt. She pulls the phone away and hangs up, the muffles yelling of Kyle disappearing.
“What’d he say?” I frown and put my hands on her cheeks,
“He’s not going to bother us.” She lets out a small but disappointed smile, “He just went on about how much of a worthless slut I am near the end there.”
“You know not to listen to him. He obviously doesn’t know anything, because he’d hit a beautiful girl like you.” I smile, Pierce wraps her arms around my neck and her lips crush down back onto mine.
