C.G.'s P.O.V.

I managed to sleep enough that I woke up feeling not too terrible. Of course, the first thing I did was check my app to see what had been going through Ana's phone. It wasn't anything too significant. A couple messages from a drunken Kate about a ride home, then realizing she was already home. Some messages from her friends about making dinner plans – which I would of course look into on my own. And then some updates to her email from YouCam. Just offline tips though. However, her entire inbox was now for my viewing pleasure. And I would view it...

Thoroughly.

I readied myself to run by the office to look over a few papers. As I did so, I figured it would be nice of GREY to leave an offline tip to Jessie as well. I sat at my computer and looked at my phone once more. Would she actually call me? Text me? Anything? And if so, I knew this would definitely complicate separating myself from GREY. Especially once she knew who I truly was.

Turning off my phone I returned to my computer screen. When I opened the log in screen for YouCam and entered my information I got a message that told me my log in information was invalid. Thinking it was nothing more than a typo and error on my part, I reentered my information carefully.

Another invalid login.

I knew for sure this time it wasn't on my end. This had happened once before where my account was temporarily banned or shut down for a ludicrous reason. However, I had not gone against any rules for this to happen.

Immediately I decided to message YouCam's customer service. I explained the problem, thinking it would be no more than an hour or so before the situation was fixed. I would be able to log back in once I returned from the office. As GREY, I could just message Jessie on her phone through that app she had.

I put on my shoes, grabbed my keys, and headed for work. I would message her when I took a lunch break.

Ana's P.O.V.

I showered off with an empty feeling in my stomach. It was a mixture of not eating breakfast and wondering what the hell I was thinking the night before. Jessie's personality was meshing with mine a little too much – and not the good aspects of it. Maybe it was time to settle down on the Jessie mentality a bit.

After my steaming hot, half an hour shower I wiped my face down in the sink. I examined the counter surface and thought maybe a D.I.Y. Project would take my mind off things. I could get some of that sticky marble-pattern paper to lay down on top of it and make it look expensive.

That was something Jessie would do – and it didn't involve – well...

BZZ

BZZ

My phone vibrated loudly from my nightstand. No doubt it was one of Jessie's regulars who always said good morning, goodnight, how are you doing, and the like.

Wrapped in a heavy towel I sauntered over to read my texts. I had several email notifications from YouCam telling me that I had unread messages. Kate had text me too, asking for a ride home. She must not have remembered much from the end of the night, which I found comical.

I pulled out my laptop and went straight to YouCam. Once I opened my inbox, several messages, all from GREY flooded my screen. I thought that was unusual, but the messages were even stranger.

GREY: WHORE.

GREY: I WILL HAVE YOU BANNED FROM THIS SITE.

GREY: THE WORST MODEL I'VE EVER SEEN.

GREY: I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE YOU. I TIP YOU OUT OF PITY.

GREY: YOU'RE GOING TO GET DOXXED.

GREY: WHAT'S IT LIKE TO B T

I felt tears welling up in my eyes as my face burned hot with embarrassment and anger. Had GREY found out what I had done the night before? If so, how? Did someone recognize me from YouCam despite me wearing a mask. Did they know GREY? I knew there was potential to be recognized...but the wigs...the mask...the poorly lit club. It had to be impossible.

I scrolled through messages upon messages that were all similar. Full of hate, hurtful words, and demeaning. I couldn't believe I had developed trust in this faceless figure. I felt foolish, discouraged, but worst of all – dirty.

I slammed closed my laptop and ran back to the bathroom where I tried to gather my thoughts. I couldn't let this get to me. This was aimed at Jessie, not me. But how much better could I have been? I was Jessie.

Then, I remembered Ashlie's words to me from when I first started camming; "You have to have a thick skin – or develop one. They will eat you alive out there."

She was right. One hateful member here or there couldn't outweigh all the other regulars and their positivity towards me. I wouldn't let it. I couldn't. I needed to do my D.I.Y. Marble counter. I needed to get out and remind myself that I actually was happy. The happiest I had been a while. I had no financial struggles, spending money on things I actually wanted, and people supporting me...even if they were just strangers.

But the nerves and lingering thoughts that someone may actually know Jessie past YouCam would continue to haunt me throughout the day.

C.G.'s P.O.V.

I still hadn't received a notification on my email that YouCam had responded to my inquiry by lunchtime. Not thinking too much of it, I decided I would message "Jessie" and she what she was up to. I had to admit, I was a little annoyed that Ana hadn't said anything to me yet. In due time, I reminded myself. I couldn't always expect things to happen my way...

Not yet, anyways.

I messaged her texting app with a simple "How are you this morning?"

After making sure the message sent I decided to call Elliot and see if he wanted to meet up for lunch. I would like to know more about Kate if he could offer any valuable information. It would be interesting to know what kind of company Ana kept. I was also rather curious as how to she managed to keep her secret for so long.

Before I had a chance to hit the call button, "Jessie" popped up on my text notifications.

You have a lot of nerve messaging me. Did you decide to finally get off your high horse?

What was she talking about?

Jessie, what do you mean? I have nerve for messaging you?Didn't realize it was a crime.

I waited outside the building doors for her response. Could this have anything to do with my YouCam being down? It seemed like there may be a genuine reason to be concerned.

That's funny, GREY. After all the names you called me, threatened me with doxxing, and that you would have me banned. Get lost.

Name calling?! Doxxing?! I would never threaten her with something that serious. I quickly ran to the elevator and headed back to my office. I tried to avoid logging on to YouCam from my work computer, but in the moment, I didn't care. Someone had hacked my account. Not only that, but they were threatening to doxx Ana and expose her information to the whole site.

I frantically searched YouNow's member F.A.Q. For a customer service line to call. I needed to resolve this issue as soon as possible and take back my own account. I would also make certain that the I.P. Address of whoever hacked my account and threatened Ana was banned from the site.

There was no way to be sure if this hacker only stole my account or stole others, or if they threatened more than just one model. I was sure that they had also hacked my email, which was a temporary account I had made anyways, but there was no way they could have changed the password on YouCam without email verification.

I switched to an open tab and tried my email login. As I thought, my login credentials were invalid. This was worse than I thought. All of my computers had security software that was top of the line but also alerted me to any kind of hacking attempts. So how could this be?

All I knew was I had to make sure Ana was aware that whoever had commandeered my GREY account was not me.

Jessie, I don't know what is happening, but I swear my account was hacked. Those messages were not from me.

Oh, I'm sure, GREY.

I'm serious. Whoever hacked me knows all of my information.

Upon reading my own words, the severity of the situation further set in. They did have all my information. It had to have been someone who knew me – in some shape or form. Something...

Then I received a text from a number I didn't know that made me hold my breath.

It's been a long time coming, GREY.

Or do you prefer Christian?

Sorry guys! School is kicking my butt :(((( However, drama now starts! Who is in more danger from the threatened doxxing? I'll try to post at least once a month if I can. Twice if I'm not too busy! Thanks for the continued support! ~Haley*
