Marvins POV

At about midnight, I left Rose's house. 

"Bye, call me tomorrow." she said before closing the door. Sighing to myself, I began walking down the street towards my apartment. I had to tell someone before we got too serious, I can't keep this from my friends any longer.

The temperature began to drop dramatically, I pulled my coat around me a bit tighter as the wind sent shivers down my spine. As I approached the apartment block, I had the feeling I was being watched. Stupid, of course. I ignored it and walked through the doors into the lift, pushing the button to take me to the right level.

The corridor had a creepy feel to it... Different than usual. Once again, I shook it off and fumbled with my keys, opening the door and immediately turning the thermostat up to high. I slid my hand across the wall, trying to find the light switch - nothing could prepare me for what I would see when the light came on.

Everywhere. All over the walls. All over the mirrors. The TV, kitchen counters. The same picture, hundreds - maybe thousands - of copies.

Slowly, I edged toward the nearest photo and picked it up to get a closer look. Taylor and Aston. Kissing. I'd never seen this one before, though. Normally when they kissed it was with us. Looks like I wasn't the only one keeping secrets.

Suddenly, I was more angry than scared. For a moment I didn't care who'd put these pictures in my home. I was angry that Taylor was trying to get me to tell Milly I was seeing someone, yet her and Aston seemed to be pretty involved and decided to keep it to themselves.

But I had to forget that. Somebody had broken into my home. Somebody had taken these pictures. It wasn't a selfie, someone had been spying on them. Who could it have been? I decided to call Reesh. I didn't want to sleep here tonight. If someone had gotten in once, they could do it again.

"Marv bruv, it's almost 1am! What's wrong?" Oritsé answered the phone after about 3 attempts, obviously I'd woken him up. 

"Sorry. Um, can I come round to yours? I don't wanna be on my own tonight... I'll explain when I get there?" I replied, keeping my voice down.

"Yeah sure." he said, his tone suddenly changing - he sounded concerned.

"See you in a bit." I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket, about to leave the house.

That's when I heard a shuffling sound coming from inside the closet.
