⚠️Warning⚠️: There may be some gruesome details in this chapter such as extreme violence, blood, weapons, and major character death. But I mean hey, this is a mafia book.

(Before you panic, don't freak out. I'll put warning signs before and after the bad part.)

It was almost two in the morning when you awoke in bed, slowly sitting up and rubbing your hands over your face. You had the guest bed tonight, but despite feeling comfortable there you just couldn't sleep.

A heavy sigh escaped your lips as you climbed out a bed. Maybe getting a drink would help you settle down more, a nice glass of water sounded amazing right now anyway.

You stretched before heading out of the guest room and into the kitchen, looking around in a few cabinets before finally finding the one that contained the cups. You grabbed one and headed over to the fridge, grabbing the pitcher of water and pouring yourself a glass.

Right as you placed the water back into the fridge and closed the door, you heard footsteps behind you. Quickly turning around, you were relieved to see that it was only Charlie.

"Jeez, you scared me, Charlie.." You said with a small laugh, taking a sip of your water. "I'm guessing you couldn't sleep either, huh?"

Charlie slowly shook his head, giving a small smile. "Yeah.. plus Ted was starting to snore a bit.. so I just decided to get up." He stretched, before looking back at you. "What time is it..?"

Grabbing your phone, you slowly hit the on button as you took a sip of your water once again. "Uhm.. 2:06 in the morning.."

"That early..?" Charlie asked a bit surprised, letting out a small frustrated sigh. "Damnit, there goes my sleep schedule again.."

Setting your water down, your slowly stood up. "You're free to sleep in my room if you want. The bed's pretty big, I don't mind sharing."

His surprised expression grew as he looked back at you. "Are you serious? I mean, if you don't want that I don't mind finding somewhere else to sleep.."

"I insist, Charlie." You said softly, before finishing your water and placing the glass in the sink. "It'll be good for us both, I'm sure the bed will be more comfortable than the couch anyway."

A wide smile grew on Charlie's face as he nodded. "Thanks, Y/N.. erm, if you don't mind, I think I'm gonna shower before going back to bed.."

Nodding, you slowly walked past him with a smile. "That's fine, just come in whenever. I'll be in bed." You said with a small hum, walking back to the guest room and laying down.

The water honestly made you feel a bit more refreshed, though it didn't help with making you tired. All you really did was just lay under the covers, listening as the shower turned on. The sound was pretty faint, but since the room was so quiet it was the only noise that stuck out to you.

You laid there for about 15 minutes or so before the water shut off, which led you to slowly sit up and stare at the door. You just felt so.. weird. And you didn't know why, but the though of Charlie sharing the room with you only increased the feeling.

It took a bit before the door finally opened and Charlie stepped in, only for him to see you just sitting up and staring at right him. He jumped a bit, but once he processed everything, he gave a small smile. "Still can't sleep. Huh?"

Shaking your head, you let out a slightly annoyed sigh, before laying back. "I know I'm tired, but it's just.. not working."

Closing the door, Charlie walked over and carefully climbed into bed, smiling a bit. "Well, maybe we could just lay here and talk until we fall asleep?"
