_Scene 71: Amy and Jane's Growing Connection_
Over the next few weeks, Jane becomes a constant presence in Amy's life. They study together, grab coffee, and even work out together. Amy finds herself looking forward to their interactions, feeling a connection to Jane that she can't quite explain.
Leo notices the change in Amy's behavior and confronts her. "What's going on with you and Jane? You're spending an awful lot of time together."
Amy hesitates, unsure how to respond. "We're just friends, Leo. We're studying together, that's all."
Leo raises an eyebrow. "Friends? Amy, I know you. I can see the way you look at her. There's something more there."
Amy sighs, feeling a pang of guilt. "Leo, I swear, there's nothing going on. Jane is just a friend."
But as she says the words, Amy can't shake the feeling that she's lying to herself.
_Scene 72: Amy's Growing Feelings_
Amy tries to distance herself from Jane, but she can't resist their connection. They continue to study together, and Amy finds herself looking forward to their interactions more and more.
One day, while they're studying in the library, Jane reaches out and brushes a strand of hair out of Amy's face. The touch sends shivers down Amy's spine, and she feels a rush of emotions.
"Amy, can I ask you something?" Jane says, her voice low and husky.
"Sure, what is it?" Amy replies, her heart racing.
"Do you ever feel like there's something missing in your relationship with Leo?" Jane asks, her eyes locked on Amy's.
Amy hesitates, unsure how to respond. But as she looks into Jane's eyes, she feels a spark of truth.
_Scene 73: Amy's Boundaries_
Jane breaks the silence as she speaks "Do you perhaps wanna come over... to my place"
Amy hesitates, unsure how to respond to Jane's invitation. "Jane, I don't know if that's a good idea. I'm in a relationship with Leo."
Jane's face falls, but she quickly recovers. "Oh, right. I forgot. Sorry, Amy."
But as Jane turns to leave, she sends Amy a text. "Hey, just wanted to show you what you're missing"
Amy's phone buzzes, and she opens the message to find a nude photo of Jane. Amy's eyes widen in shock, and she feels a mix of emotions: surprise, guilt, and a spark of attraction.
_Scene 74: Jane's Anticipation_
Jane waits anxiously for Amy's response, her heart racing with excitement. She can't believe she sent that photo, but she couldn't help herself. She's been drawn to Amy from the moment they met.
As the minutes tick by, Jane's phone remains silent. She tries to distract herself with TV, but her mind keeps wandering back to Amy.
Finally, after what feels like an eternity, Jane's phone buzzes. She grabs it eagerly, hoping for a response from Amy.
But instead, it's just a notification from a social media app. Jane's heart sinks, and she feels a pang of disappointment.
Just as she's about to give up hope, her phone buzzes again. This time, it's a text from Amy.
___
Jane's phone buzzes, and she opens the message from Amy. Her heart sinks as she reads the words:
"Hey Jane, let's just focus on studying, okay? I don't think it's a good idea to share photos like that."
Jane feels a pang of disappointment, but she tries to understand Amy's perspective. She types out a response:
"No problem, Amy. I just got a little carried away. Let's focus on acing that exam!"
Jane sends the message, trying to play it cool. But inside, she's wondering if she's misread the situation entirely, after all Amy's in a relationship, what more did she expect.
_Scene 75: Leo and Amy's Breakup_
Leo and Amy sit on the couch, holding hands, but the tension between them is palpable. Leo's parents have been pressuring her to get married to a man, and Amy knows she's not the right fit for that life.
"Amy, I don't know what to do," Leo says, her voice filled with frustration. "My parents are relentless. They want me to settle down with someone they approve of, and it's... it's not you."
Amy sighs, feeling the weight of the situation. "I know, Leo. And I love you for who you are. But I'm not going to stand in the way of your happiness or the relationship between you and your parents."
Leo nods, tears in her eyes. "I love you too, Amy. But I think it's best if we... break up."
Amy feels a pang of sadness, but she knows it's for the best. "Okay, Leo. I understand."
As they hug goodbye, Amy can't help but wonder what could have been.
_Scene 76: Amy's Heartache_
Amy walks alone on campus, feeling a mix of emotions: sadness, relief, and confusion. She thought she and Leo had something special, but Leo's parents had other plans.
As she approaches her favorite coffee shop, she sees Jane sitting outside, studying. Amy's heart skips a beat as their eyes meet.
"Hey, Amy," Jane says, smiling softly. "How's it going?"
Amy takes a deep breath and sits down beside Jane. "It's going. Leo and I broke up."
Jane's expression turns sympathetic. "I'm so sorry, Amy. What happened?"
_Scene 76: Leo's Arranged Marriage_
Leo's parents are overjoyed when she agrees to break up with Amy. They quickly arrange a marriage for her with a man of their choosing, a wealthy businessman named Rohan.
Leo is devastated, but she feels trapped. She doesn't want to disappoint her parents, but she can't imagine spending her life with someone she doesn't love.
As the wedding preparations begin, Leo feels like she's living in a nightmare. She tries to convince herself that she can make the best of it, but she can't shake the feeling that she's sacrificing her happiness.
Meanwhile, Amy is trying to move on from their breakup. She throws herself into her studies and spends more time with Jane, who is becoming a close friend.
But when Amy finds out about Leo's arranged marriage, she's shocked. She can't believe Leo is going through with it.
_Scene 77: Amy Opens Up to Jane_
Amy and Jane sit at the library, surrounded by stacks of books and notes. They're supposed to be studying, but Amy can't focus. She's still reeling from her breakup with Leo.
"Hey, Jane, can we talk about something?" Amy asks, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jane looks up from her notes, concerned. "Of course, Amy. What's going on?"
Amy takes a deep breath and lets it all out - the breakup, Leo's parents, the arranged marriage. Jane listens attentively, her expression empathetic.
"I'm so sorry, Amy," Jane says, when Amy finishes talking. "That sounds really tough. But I'm here for you, okay?"
Amy smiles weakly, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Jane. "Thanks, Jane. Just talking to you makes me feel better."
As they continue studying, Amy can't help but notice the way Jane's hair falls in loose waves down her back, or the way her eyes crinkle at the corners when she smiles.
_Scene 78: Leo's Doubts_
Leo sits in her bedroom, staring blankly at the wedding dress hanging on the closet door. She's supposed to get married in a week, but she can't shake the feeling that she's making a huge mistake.
She thinks about Amy, and the life they could have had together. She wonders what Amy is doing now, and if she's moved on.
Leo's phone buzzes, breaking the silence. It's a text from an unknown number.
"Don't do it, Leo. Don't marry him. You deserve better."
Leo's heart skips a beat as she reads the message. Could it be Amy?
_Scene 79: Leo's Curiosity_
Leo's curiosity gets the better of her, and she responds to the message.
"Who is this?" she asks, her heart racing with anticipation.
The response comes quickly. "Someone who cares about you. Don't marry him, Leo. You're making a mistake."
Leo's mind is racing. Could it be Amy? Or is it someone else entirely?
She decides to play along, hoping to uncover the identity of the mysterious messenger.
"What do you know about my situation?" she asks, trying to sound calm.
The response comes quickly. "I know you're settling for a life you don't want. You deserve to be happy, Leo. Don't give up on that."
Here is the continuation:
_Scene 80: Leo's Investigation_
Leo decides to investigate who sent the message. She starts by asking her friends and family if they know anything, but no one seems to have any information.
Undeterred, Leo decides to do some digging on her own. She starts by looking at her phone records, trying to trace the number that sent the message.
After some research, she discovers that the number is registered to a small café on the other side of town. Leo decides to pay a visit, hoping to find some answers.
As she enters the café, she scans the room, looking for anyone who might look familiar. That's when she sees her - a girl with piercing green eyes and long, curly brown hair. It's Jane, Amy's friend.
_Scene 81: Leo Confronts Jane_
Leo approaches Jane, her heart racing with anticipation. "You're the one who's been sending me messages," she accuses, trying to keep her voice down.
Jane looks up, startled, and then nods calmly. "Yes, I am. I just wanted to make sure you're making the right decision, Leo."
Leo takes a deep breath, trying to process her emotions. "Why do you care?" she asks, her voice shaking slightly.
Jane leans in, her eyes locked on Leo's. "Because I know what it's like to be in a situation where you feel trapped. And I know how much Amy cares about you."
Leo's heart skips a beat at the mention of Amy's name. "What do you mean?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper.
