Unspoken Desires

16.) Group Study

Cheska, Justin, Audrey, Yohan, Jessica, Anne, Gabrielle, Lawrence, Cherry, Sofia, and Fredrick gather around a large table, textbooks and notebooks scattered across its surface.

Cherry organizes her study materials, "Alright, everyone, let's make the most of this study session. We have exams coming up, and we need to support each other to succeed."

Justin nods, flipping through his notes, while Audrey opens her laptop, ready to search for additional resources.

Justin nods, "Cherry's right. We've got this, guys. Let's tackle these subjects together."

Yohan leans forward, a pencil in his hand, ready to take notes.

"I've brought some study guides. They helped me in the past. They might come in handy for you, too."

Jessica smiles gratefully at Yohan's gesture, adjusting her glasses.

"Thanks, Yohan. I appreciate it. We're all in this together."

Anne, sitting next to Jessica, chimes in, her hands filled with determination.

(Remember, guys, we can do anything we set our minds to. Let's support each other and ace these exams!)

Gabrielle, seated across from Cheska, closes her notebook, ready to contribute.

Gabrielle was eager, "I've been reviewing some challenging concepts lately. If anyone needs help, I'm here to explain and clarify anything you're struggling with.'

Sofia, known for her organizational skills, takes out colored markers and sticky notes.

"I've prepared a study schedule for us. We can allocate time for each subject and make sure we cover everything effectively."

Lawrence, with a stack of textbooks in front of him, raises an eyebrow.

"Sofia, you never cease to amaze us with your organization skills. Thanks for keeping us on track."

The group begins their study session, exchanging notes, asking questions, and supporting each other through challenging concepts.

Laughter and focused conversations fill the air as they delve into their studies, united in their pursuit of academic success.

Anne and Gabrielle sit across from each other at a cozy corner table, their hands intertwined as they share affectionate glances.

Cheska watches them as everyone was happily studying, her heart sinks, and a pang of jealousy courses through her veins. She approaches their table, trying to mask her emotions with a forced smile.

Cheska's eyes involuntarily drawn to the lingering closeness between Anne and Gabrielle. She tries to act composed, but her voice betrays her inner turmoil.

Anne's expression softens, realizing Cheska's discomfor.

Cheska's jealousy intensifies, and she struggles to keep her emotions in check.

After a few hours, Cheska fought with Gabrielle again.

Tension fills the air as Cheska confronts Gabrielle in the streets.

Cheska's frustration and jealousy have reached a boiling point, and she can no longer contain her emotions.

"I can't take it anymore, Gabrielle! The way you've been acting with Anne, it's like you're her girlfriend and not mine!"

Gabrielle, taken aback by Cheska's outburst, tries to maintain her composure.

"Cheska, Anne and I are just friends. We've been reconnecting and supporting each other, but it doesn't change my commitment to our relationship. I don't want to deal with your jealousy anymore!"

Cheska paces back and forth, her voice filled with frustration.

"It doesn't feel that way, Gabrielle! I see the way you look at her, the way you touch her. It's like I'm invisible to you!"

Gabrielle steps closer, her voice laced with concern.

"You're overthinking it!"

Cheska stops pacing, her eyes filled with tears of frustration.

"Why do you always say I'm overthinking it?  I love you, Gabrielle!"

Gabrielle scoffed, "I feel like I'm in a prison when I'm with you!" She yelled.

The words put Cheska in pain, tears poured down, "How can you say that?!"

That's when Cameron appeared and brought a huge bouquet of flowers without realizing that Cheska is there, he had planned a surprise for Gabrielle but then saw Cheska with her.

Cameron felt frightened upon seeing Cheska, "What are you doing here?!" Asked Cheska.

Cameron gulped, "The question is, why are you yelling at Gabrielle?! What kind of a girlfriend are you?! You don't yell at your lover again! You know what, she needs a real man that can treat her better! She is perfect and she shouldn't be wasted because she is in a relationship with you!"

Cheska gave Cameron a violent slap in the face, she harshly laid a finger at him, her teeth gritting, "I am not threatened by you, I am a female and I know what a female wants!"

Cheska grabbed the bouquet and ripped it apart, throwing the petals all over the floor and stomping it.

"STOP!" Cameron and Gabrielle yelled.

Cheska slapped Cameron again and laid a finger at him, "You don't get to dictate our relationship!"

Gabrielle went to Cameron's side, "Stop hurting him!"

Cheska scoffed, "Oh wow! Maybe you are in a relationship with this man behind my back!"

"I am sick and tired of you strangling me! Making me feel like I'm in prison!"

Cheska laughed like a maniac and grabbed Gabrielle's hand, "You are not leaving with anyone!" She tries to drag her and she kept whining in pain, "Let me go!"

Cameron pushed Cheska, "Let her go!"

Cheska laid a finger at Cameron again, "DON'T EVER FUCKING TOUCH ME!" She glared at Gabrielle and dragged her again, "You're coming with me!"

"I don't want to come with you!"

And Cheska dragged Gabrielle into another street.

"Stop bugging me! You're hurting me! Cheska!"

Cheska quickly lets go of her, "I will never let you in peace because you're mine, Gabrielle, and I am forever yours!"

Gabrielle sheds tears, frightened of Cheska's intentions, "Please don't do this, you're scaring me"

"YOU SHOULD BE SCARED, I DON'T WANT ANYONE LEAVING ME BEHIND! I DON'T WANT YOU TO FUCKING LEAVE ME LIKE WHAT EVERYONE DID!"

Gabrielle broke down into tears, "Are you really gonna be like this forever? Well, I feel horrible for your next lover, she will suffer the same fate I suffered under your hands"

Cheska scoffed, "Next lover?! ARE YOU BREAKING UP WITH ME?! YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT! YOU ARE MINE AND YOU'RE NEVER REPLACING ME!"

Gabrielle started running away, afraid of Cheska's next intentions.

As Cheska went home, she was in a state of wild abandon. She was no longer in control of her body, her movements becoming more and more erratic.

Cheska sat in her bedroom, her head in her hands. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to make sense of the events of the past few days.

She had been so sure that things were going to work out, but now it seemed like everything was falling apart.

She had been so sure that she could make it work, but now it seemed like it was all for nothing.

She felt like she was going to be swallowed up by the darkness that was consuming her. She felt like she was going to be lost forever in the depths of her despair.

Cheska let out a loud sob, her body shaking with the force of her emotions. She felt like she was going to be crushed by the weight of her sadness.
