Gabrielle stands in front of a large mirror, wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around her body.

She gazes at her reflection, preparing to take a bath. She reaches for a bottle of scented oil on the countertop and starts pouring it into the tub.

"Ah, a relaxing bath is just what I need."

Suddenly, the bathroom door swings open, and Cheska rushes in without warning.

Gabrielle's eyes widen in shock, and she instinctively clutches the towel tighter around her body.

"WHAT THE HECK?! YOU'RE HERE?! GET OUT!"

"Gabrielle, please! I need you to love me!"

Gabrielle's surprise turns into confusion as she tries to process Cheska's unexpected declaration.

"Gabrielle, please! I can't bear this emptiness anymore. I need you back in my life."

"Cheska, we've been through this. It's over between us. I can't just go back to how things were. NOW GET OUT OF HERE YOU CREEP!"

Cheska takes a step closer, her eyes filled with tears.

"But I love you, Gabrielle. I can't imagine my life without you. I'll do anything to make it work. Please, just give me another chance."

Cheska begins to embrace Gabrielle tight, making Gabrielle scream in anger, "GET OFF OF ME! GET AWAY FROM ME! I SAID GET AWAY!"

"NO! PLEASE! STAY WITH ME, GABBIE! STAY WITH ME! PLEASE I LOVE YOU!"

"GET OFF OF ME!"

That's when Gabrielle's mother rushed in after hearing yelling voices, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"

Gabrielle and Cheska flinched and looked at her in terror, Gabrielle's mother immediately pulled Gabrielle towards her and angrily laid a finger at Cheska.

"YOU CREEP! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY DAUGHTER!"

Gabrielle was shaking.

Cheska gasps, "No, it's not what you think! I just want her to get back to me!" Her gaze softens upon looking at Gabrielle, "Please Gabbie, love me again"

Gabrielle's mother grabbed her phone, "Oh that won't happen now, I'm calling the cops"

Cheska instantly snatched her phone, "NO, NO, PLEASE, DON'T!"

"GIVE ME MY PHONE BACK"

"PLEASE DON'T CALL THE POLICE!"

Gabrielle's mother sighs, "FINE! BUT IF MY DAUGHTER WILL TELL ME THAT YOU'RE STILL BUGGING HER, I WILL REALLY PUT YOU IN JAIL!"

Cheska trembled in fear and immediately ran away and left the house.

"It's okay, sweetie, she's gone" She said to her daughter.

Cheska walks down a bustling street, her steps heavy and her face stained with tears.

The sounds of traffic and people going about their day fade into the background, drowned out by the weight of her sorrow.

She finds a secluded spot by a quiet alley, away from the prying eyes of strangers.

Leaning against a brick wall, she slides down, her body trembling with despair.

"Why did you leave me, Gabrielle? What did I do wrong?"

Her cries reverberate off the walls, a haunting melody of heartbreak. Cheska's shoulders shake uncontrollably as she tries to make sense of the shattered pieces of her relationship.
