I wake up the next morning with a splitting headache. Quietly groaning I look over and see Josie is still sleeping peacefully. Trying not to wake her I reach for my phone and pull it off the charger unlocking it. I scroll through my phone suddenly getting a call from Marilyn, confused I answer it putting the phone close to my ear.

"Mary?" I say confused

"Cyrus you are fucked. What the hell were you thinking?" She says loudly

"What the hell are you talking about?" I whisper getting out of bed and walking out to the balcony

"You were out last night with your little girlfriend at some club and someone took pictures of you guys together and posted it anonymously." She says causing my face to drop

"What?! Are you serious?" I yell

"Yes Cyrus! It's spreading like fucking wildfire. These pictures can get to the head of the university and you could get fired for being a student!" She says

"But it's not wrong Mary! It's not like Josie is a minor, she's 21!" I say angrily

"She is still a student at the university you teach at! And she was your student Cyrus. It'll eventually get to the head of the university and you can get in so much trouble. What don't you understand about that?!" She yells

"Josie isn't my student anymore Marilyn! It'll be fine, why the hell do you even care? I thought you hated me after you found out I was dating her." I say rudely

"I just wanted to give you a heads up asshole. You can deal with this problem on your own." She says with attitude

"I will Marilyn. Bye." I say and hang up groaning out in frustration

"Who was that?" Josie says from behind me making me jump

"Shit you scared me." I say breathing out shakily

"Who was that Cyrus? Who were you yelling at?" She asks walking out closing the balcony door behind her

"That was Marilyn.. but uhm babe I gotta tell you something." I say

"What is it?" She asks wrapping her arms around my torso laying her head on my chest

"Someone at the club last night took pictures of us and they posted it on the internet, but no one knows who posted it. They're anonymous." I say sighing

"What did you just say? Are you serious?" She says pulling away staring at me in shock

"Yes.. she told me that it's spreading really fast baby." I say

"I knew it! I knew someone was watching us, I knew someone was watching me Cyrus. What if.. what if it's the same guy from Tampa?" She asks scared

"No.. no it can't be.. that was in Tampa. That can't be possible." I say shaking my head

"What if this person followed us here?!" She asks pacing back and forth

"Babe calm down, it's okay. It's gonna be okay!" I say trying to calm her down

"No! This person could be dangerous, they could want to hurt me or you! Oh my god, what are we going to do?" She says breathing heavily

"Please Josie, let's just get back inside and think for a second." I say grabbing her hand and pulling her back in our room

"Cyrus, whoever was stalking us in Tampa followed us here! And now they have pictures of us together all over the internet! This is bad!" She yells
