y/n's pov

i stir around in the bed, letting my intrusive thoughts invade my mind once again.

vinnie pulls my body into his, nuzzling his head further into me as i sight out frustratedly.

why can't i sleep? these endless nights of no sleep are starting to affect me... i'm not sure how long i'll be able to go on by drinking coffee everyday.

i try my best to slide from underneath vinnie, being careful not to wake him up.

i grab a glass of water from the bedside table, sipping it, then putting it back.

i feel a tear slip out from the corner of my eye, followed by another, and another.

soon enough i'm sobbing to myself, and i don't even know why.

"y/n? why are you crying baby?" vinnie's low voices catches me off guard and i jump a little.

"it's just me, it's okay" my heaving chest starts to soften as i lean into vinnie more. the warmth of his chest calms me down a little until i stop crying.

"i'm sorry i woke you up" i blurt out, sniffling. vinnie wraps his arms around me, holding me close to his chest as if i'm the only thing he has left in his life.

"don't worry about me, you wanna tell me why you're upset?" i nod as vinnie rubs his tired eyes.

"well, i don't exactly know. i guess i just let all the stress in my life build up and here i am now. crying at 3am" vinnie's eyes gloss over with confusion.

"but why are you stressed?

"school, work and just everything. it's all getting a bit too much for me." i breathe out, staring up at the ceiling as vinnie strokes my hair softly.

"you should take a break, y/n. two, three, however many weeks you want baby" vinnie suggests as a faint smile forms at the corner of my lips.

he runs his thumb over the pad of my cheek, swiping away the fallen tears before pressing a gentle kiss to it.

"this is why i love you" i place my head in the crook of vinnie's neck, making sure not to get my tears all over him.

"i love you too baby, but why didn't you tell me? if i had known we could fixed this sooner"

"i didn't wanna be a pest" i admit, breathing onto the skin at his neck.

"you could never be a pest y/n, i always wanna help you, that's what i'm here for" vinnie's voice is laced with tiredness and he yawns slightly.

"let's get some sleep, yeah babe?" a light kissed is placed on my forehead as vinnie is lulled back into sleep, and i find myself falling asleep along with him.
