Psychotic behavior

Prologue

(word count: 2033) 

Tia walked into her apartment to be greeted by her current boyfriend; Ethan Walton.
" hey babe, how was work" Ethan said while planting a quick kiss on her lips.

" boring as always, I need a shower" and with that Tia put her purse, phone, and some work papers on the nearest table. she then walked through the hallway of their apartment into the bathroom.

Tia currently works as a accountant, even though managing with number can be easy she found it boring as hell. Being at a desk for weeks, month, and years was one thing but with her boss constantly bugging her to be optimistic. If it wasn't for $78k-$89k per year salary, she wouldn't be working there.

She entered the bathroom, turned on the water and set the temperature to lukewarm. She quickly began to strip out of her cloths eager to get in the shower. As the water softly hit her face and ran down her body soaking every muscle and curve she had.

Meanwhile when Tia was taking a shower her phone went off, Ethan paused the movie he was watching and got up from the couch to check who's phone rang. As he reach the living room table he saw a text from Tia's boss saying that she needed to complete a statement on a new financial record that just showed up by 6:00pm tomorrow.

Ethan unlocked Tia's phone by putting in the passcode he oversaw her put in a while back. He was going to click on the iMessage icon to replay to her boss that she was in the shower, but he saw an app icon he was unfamiliar with. It looked like the photos app, but a ripoff version. He proceeded to click on it but was greeted with a passcode, he tried almost everything that ranged from birthday dates and important holiday dates. Ethan even tried her parent's birthday and their death day

Tia's parent died in a car accident. Tia and both of her parents were on a family road trip in Florida, when a drunk truck driver rammed into the side of their car. The car was dragged across the road and flipped over, luckily for Tia the impacted was at the front of the car and she only came out with a broken leg, cuts with glass in them, and a dislocated shoulder. On the other hand Tia had to sit in the upside down car with her impaled parents who died in front of her shortly after the paramedics arrived. Tia had trouble moving on from that day but she managed to finish collage because her parents always bugged her to. They wanted her to live a happy and successful life. She got her Bachelor's degree to carry out what her parents wanted and moved to California where she met Ethan and been together for 1 year. She's now 27 and its been 8 years since her parents death.

Ethan thought to put in her phone passcode and to his surprise it worked. He was hesitant to look through her privacy but since she put the same passcode as her phone he thought she wouldn't mind anyone going through it, and that she used it for extra space and that the passcode came with the app. He scrolled and scrolled through multiple photos which consisted of funny tweets, memes, and instagram post she took screenshots of. Ethan was about to exit out of the app to text Tia's boss when he came across a photo of him in his bedroom at his own place. He was creeped out by this not only because he wasn't aware of the picture but he identified a poster in his room he had from 2 years ago. Months before Tia and him met.

Tia was wrapping herself with her towel when Ethan busted through the door

" why do you have secret photos of me?" he asked with a raised eyebrow " before we even met!" Ethan added raising his voice

" w-what are you talking about? you went through my phone without telling me!" Tia questioned

" that's not the point, why do you have  photos of me in my room without me even knowing!"
