***IMPORTANT A/N***

I know some of you probably noticed this but a few chapters sound different from the others. 1,3, and 5. That would be because Wattpad glitched out while I was deleting some alternative chapters that I had written, it actually deleted those instead. I'm so upset about it but there's nothing I can do so I had to sloppily put together three new chapters.

I know it sucks and trust me- I'm so upset about it but please bare with me. I also lost 20 reads by the chapters deleting, and the votes so please, if you haven't already, please go back and vote/ read these chapters.

But because of my mistake, here's another extra chapter before my set update date.

Pls enjoy

June

"Juniper."

My eyes fly open to my dimly lit room, my heart pounding in my ears at the familiar voice I swear I heard. I sit up, my curly hair falling into my face as I quickly look around my empty bedroom.

He's here- he's somewhere in here.

I look down To the foot of bed at Naruto who sleeps soundly.

He's not here, otherwise he'd be up.

I sit back slowly, my eyes still hopping around my bedroom. I lay my head down on my pillow, and roll over.

It would be impossible for him to be here. I lock my doors. The door that leads into my bedroom from the bathroom, my front door, and my main bedroom door. I would've heard if he broke one of the doors down.

I lift my eyes to my closed window on the side of my bed. It remains shut and intact as well.

I'm just paranoid- it was probably just a nightmare.

I close my eyes, a sigh escaping my lips.

I wish I had someone here to reassure me.

....

I shoot up in bed, and throw back my blanket. I quietly climb out of bed and pad over to my bedroom door. I unlock the handle and pull it open as quietly as I can.

Should I wake him up?

I walk down the hall into my living room where Vinnie lays, asleep on my couch.

He refused to sleep in my bed, he said he'd be fine on the couch. We fought over it for an hour until I gave up on begging him and just threw a blanket and pillow at him.

He did the cutest thing though, before I went to bed he told me to sleep pretty and gave me a kiss. It made my insides melt.

I tip toe over to the side of the couch and stand over him like a creeper while I debate waking him up.

I probably shouldn't. He's going to think I'm weird.

He lays on his side, his back towards the room as he breathes softly, the blanket down to his waist.

Oh my god he's shirtless.

I shouldn't wake him up.

I turn away and look up at my darkened hallway.

Haha nope.

I lower myself down to his level and lightly touch his shoulder, "Vinnie."

He doesn't budge, still sleeping soundly so I shake him harder and fall out his name louder.

"Vinnie."

Still he doesn't budge so I run my fingers along his arm, "Vee."

His body jolts, so I grab his shoulder to steady him while he turns over to look up at me tiredly through the dark.

"Juni?" He mumbles in a low voice as he sits up slightly, "Are you okay?"

I nod my head, "Yea... I just..." I glance back toward my bedroom and look back at him as he turns over to face me.

He touches my face, turning my face towards him, "Nightmare?"

I forgot I told him about that, how embarrassing. I must seem like a total fucking crack pipe.

I don't answer, and he pulls away from me so I sit back in my heels.

"Do you want to lay with me?" He offers while running his fingers through the front of his hair sleepily and I nod but then shake my head.

"I wanted to know if you'd come lay in my room with me- that way you weren't on the couch." I shyly bring a curl around my finger and twist, "If not it's okay, I can lay out here."

He yawns, "I'll come in the room with you."

Vinnie sits up so I grab his pillow for him. He wraps the blanket around him while in a daze and gets up. I try not to laugh at the Vinnie burrito as he follows me back to my room. I'm more confident now as we walk into my room.

"I gotta piss." He mutters as I close my bedroom door, and lock it.

"Then go pee." I respond lightly as I sit down on my bed.

I put his pillow on the other side of the bed and look up at him. He drops my purple blanket on the bed, revealing that he's just in his boxers. I can barely see his tattoos on his arms and the one on his chest through the dark, and I don't have time to stare because he walks away, into my bathroom.

He closes the door so I decide that I'm going to settle in. I look at the foot of my bed to find Naruto is gone, so I lean over to look at the corner of my room through the Low lighting. The bunny sits in his cage, in the little strawberry house, staring at me with a glare.

"Sorry buddy." I quietly tell him as I get back under my blankets and lay down.

A little bunny can't rescue me if someone were to break in- a Buff Vinnie can.

The water runs in the bathroom, and the sink turns on while I snuggle in more, getting comfortable on my side, facing away from the other side of the bed. I watch the bathroom door open and he steps out. He quietly shuts the door but when he doesn't lock it, I sit up slightly.

"Will you lock it?"

He looks at me over his shoulder, a question stirring in his mind but he doesn't ask, he just does what I ask and comes over to the bed.

"Thank you." I pull the covers up over my shoulder.

"Mhm." He hums from behind me and the bed bounces a bit while he climbs on.

I quietly lay there while he settles in, his leg brushing mine as he burrows himself into my covers. The room falls silent after he settles in and I wiggle my nose.

"Thank you." I whisper out into the dark room, and at first I think he didn't hear me but something touches my hand that lays between our pillows.

I sit up, turning over onto my stomach to see that's he's laying my way, his pinky finger touching my own.

I lower myself down, and hook my pinky with his. "Im sorry for waking you up."

He shakes his head, "It's alright, I just want you to feel safe."

I squeeze my pinky around his, "Thanks... I don't trust just anyone to sleep with me in my bed."

"I know." He smiles tiredly, "Im happy youre comfortable with me."

I chuckle to myself, "Yea."

I close my eyes, our pinky fingers still hooked together until I feel myself starting to fall asleep, finally able to relax.

A couple months ago, I would've never thought that I'd end up sleeping to famous tik toker, or someone I just met in general. I guess I've done a bit of healing myself in a way, even if at times it doesn't seem it.
