I love you too much to leave you... Pierce X Female!reader

Chapter 5: Understandings

Your P.O.V

As the happy customer left the building, I trotted over to the storage closet and grabbed a broom. I skipped out from the closet and made my way to the chair, where the customer got her hair cut.

I began to sweep the excess hair around the chair into a small pile when my boss, Ms. Guilda, approached me. "Y/N? You can go home early; Karen agreed to take over your shift."

Karen was everybody's favorite co-worker. She was sweet, kind, and always willing to take care of things. "Really?" I asked, stunned. Karen skipped up toward us both, with her sweet smile and hazel hair.

"Yup! Go ahead, Y/N! I know you wanna get home to Pierce~" Karen wiggled her eyebrows while my face lit on fire. Ms. Guilda chuckled to herself and crossed her arms.

I handed the broom over to Karen and exited the building. I couldn't wait to get home early and surprise Pierce. He was gonna be so shocked yet so happy. And Nellie was definitely gonna have an energy boost.

I skipped out of the building and hopped into my car.
{I have no idea how cars and driving work so Y/N just turned the car on and drove out into the road and made it to the apartment building}

I trotted into the lobby and saw Ava with the other Daemos. "Oh, hey! Y/N, right?" Ava asked me with a smile. Though Ava was very antisocial with others, Ava and I got along pretty well because I was able to take care of Pierce for her.

"Yeah, and you're Ava?" She nodded. "Yup. What're you doing back so early?"

Asch scoffed. Or should I say Prince Asch. "I'm the prince of Daemos, I think I should be acknowledged-"

Rhys punched Asch in the arm to get him to shut up. I giggled. "Karen decided to take over my shift so I could go home early. She's so kind."

"Yeah," Ava agreed. "Well, from what I've heard."

I nodded. "Anyways, I'm heading inside to surprise Pierce. See ya!"

I raced over to the elevators and pressed the top floor. Taylor Swift began to play and I danced to the music while the people in the elevator watched me. Soon enough, they began to dance too. {Gif below}

The doors eventually opened, and everyone maintained their professionalism as they stepped out. All except me, of course. I was still dancing to Delicate.

The elevator doors began to close, so I stuck my hand out in between them and jumped out of the elevator.

I zoomed down the halls to my apartment number and noticed the door wasn't fully closed. Strange. Pierce never leaves the apartment without me. Why is the door cracked?

I opened the door all the way to a lovely surprise. Actually, it wasn't very lovely. Quite horrible, actually. Pierce was kissing Tess. I gasped.

Pierce immediately pulled away and looked at me. Tess turned around with a smug smirk. "I guess it's time for me to go," She said. She strided to the doorway and left; not without giving my shoulder a hard bump. I was still left speechless.

It didn't take too long for the tears to start pouring. Pierce ran over to me and engulfed me in a warm hug. Though, it felt cold.

"Why?" I whispered. It was more to myself. "Why? Why wasn't I good enough?"

"You are," Pierce answered. "Tess caressed me, not I to her. I'm deeply sorry, Y/N. I would never do anything to harm you."

"Why?!" I shrieked, pulling away from our hug. "Why?! Why don't you just leave me?!"

Pierce looked stunned. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. He suddenly grabbed my shoulders and kissed me. It felt different from our usual kisses. More meaningful.

Pierce slowly pulled away, leaving an inch between us.

"I love you too much to leave you..."
