Obsessive

Chapter 6

The morning sun bathed the dorm room in a soft, golden glow, a stark contrast to the turmoil inside Beyoncé's heart. She had woken up with a body on top of hers, the memories of the passionate night with Onika flooding her mind like a relentless wave. Regret clawed at her, gnawing at her insides.

As she rose from the disheveled bed, Beyoncé's gaze landed on her phone, and dread washed over her. She realized it had been recording the events of the previous night. Panic surged as she grabbed her phone, her fingers trembling as she watched the evidence of their drunken, passionate confession unfold on the screen.

The weight of her actions settled heavily upon her shoulders, and she knew she needed to leave, to give herself space to think and to decide what to do next. Beyoncé hastily took her medicine, did her hygiene, and dressed, all while trying to escape the lingering shame.

Without a word, without even a note, she slipped out of the room, her footsteps echoing with the unresolved emotions that still bound her to Onika.

Onika's awakening was filled with a sense of longing. She reached out instinctively, expecting to feel Beyoncé's warmth beside her, but the empty space reminded her that something had gone terribly wrong. Confusion turned into sadness as she realized Beyoncé was nowhere to be found.

She searched the dorm, hoping for some sign, some explanation. But the room held only silence, and Onika was left to grapple with the hurt of being left behind without a word. The promises they had made to each other the night before seemed to have vanished like a mirage.

Desperation drove Onika to call and text Beyoncé, but her attempts were met with silence. Frustration welled up inside her as she put on Beyoncé's hoodie and some tights. She needed answers, and she needed them now.

When Onika walked into her first period class and saw Beyoncé sitting in the back, her heart raced with a mix of hope and trepidation. She approached, ready to pour out her feelings, but fate had other plans, and she was called to the front, leaving her words unsaid.

Throughout the day, Beyoncé remained elusive, avoiding any meaningful interaction with Onika. They shared classes, lunch, and the same social circles, yet Beyoncé managed to slip through the cracks, leaving Onika feeling more and more frustrated.

Finally, an opportunity presented itself. Onika caught Beyoncé alone, and her heart soared at the chance to talk. But as she approached, her world came crashing down when she saw Michelle, Beyoncé's friend, flirting with her.

Blind rage overcame Onika as she witnessed Michelle moving in for a kiss. She didn't think twice; she ran over and confronted Michelle, a physical fight breaking out between the two.

Beyoncé was furious, bewildered by the sudden brawl, but when Onika explained her actions, the pain and confusion in her eyes were evident. Onika's words cut through the chaos, and Beyoncé was forced to confront the hurt she had caused.

The lingering question remained, heavy and unresolved. Should they attempt to mend the shattered pieces of their relationship, or was it time to let go and find new paths in life? The answer lay somewhere in the tangled mess of emotions, regrets, and unspoken words that bound their hearts together.
