It's 9 pm and Gabrielle sleeps peacefully, her chest rising and falling in a rhythmic pattern.
Suddenly, the door creaks open, and Cheska, Gabrielle's ex-lover, cautiously steps inside. Her eyes are filled with a mixture of longing and regret.
Cheska approaches the bed, her heart pounding in her chest.
She hesitates for a moment, realizing the weight of what she's about to do.
With trembling hands, she reaches out and gently brushes a strand of hair from Gabrielle's face. Gabrielle stirs slightly, but remains asleep.
"Gabrielle..."
Gabrielle's eyes flutter open, confusion and shock etched across her face. She quickly sits up, pulling the sheets around her protectively.
"Cheska, what the hell are you doing here? How did you even get in?"
Cheska steps back, her voice filled with desperation.
"I had to see you, Gabrielle. I couldn't stay away any longer. I miss you." Her eyes with tears.
Gabrielle's eyes narrow, her anger palpable.
"You miss me? Get out!"
Cheska drops to her knees, her voice quivering with remorse.
"I know, Gabrielle. I made a terrible mistake, and I've regretted it every day since. Please, just hear me out."
Gabrielle hesitates, her emotions warring within her. She takes a deep breath, her anger simmering beneath the surface.
"GET OUT!"
Cheska takes a moment to compose herself before continuing.
"I was scared, Gabrielle. Scared of how deeply I fell for you, of how vulnerable you made me. I thought if I walked away, I could protect myself. But all I did was hurt you, and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Gabrielle."
Gabrielle stands firm, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and fear.
Cheska pleads desperately, her voice filled with desperation, as Gabrielle tries to drag her towards the door.
"Gabrielle, please! Don't do this! I can't lose you again!"
"Cheska, you need to leave. Right now. This is my space, and I won't let you invade it anymore."
Cheska clings to the doorframe, her fingers trembling as Gabrielle tries to pry her away. Tears stream down her face, her voice breaking.
"I love you, Gabrielle! I can't live without you! Please, just give me one more chance!"
Gabrielle's grip tightens, frustration etched on her face.
"GET OUT! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU!"
With a burst of strength, Gabrielle manages to pull Cheska away from the door. Cheska stumbles backward, her cries growing louder.
"Gabrielle, please! I'm begging you! I'll do anything!"
Gabrielle's eyes fill with fear, her voice quivering as she finally reaches the door and slams it shut.
"Just go, Cheska. Please, just go!!!"
Cheska pounds on the door, her voice reduced to a desperate whisper.
"Gabrielle, I'll change! I'll make it right! Please, don't shut me out!"
Gabrielle leans against the door, her heart pounding in her chest. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself.
"LEAVE!"
