JUNIPER

waking up from her catnap she stretched and let out a wail before getting up, smacking her lips distastefully. she looked down and still had the hoodie on, it was the most comfortable thing in her closet so she just decided to keep it on.

tugging off her shorts she searched for a pair of jeans to wear for her little journey. it was baggy and had butterfly prints all over the front. she didn't feel like trying to look good since she wasn't really going anywhere.

she brushed her tree the the laziest way possible, it wasn't like she was seeing anybody, but smelling her morning breath just made her gag. grabbing the house keys and her phone off the charger she closed her bedroom door behind her.

looking at her messages she saw she had one missed call from an unknown number a couple hours ago. past the notification was a picture of dario kissing her cheek. her lip twitched when she remembered the recent argument they had over something she should have complete control over.

of course she knew what she had with dario was temporary, she knew she wouldn't marry him. he wasn't fit for any relationship from what she's seen, he's for something casual. so why didn't she stop herself from saying 'i love you'.

stupid, bisexual brain.

entering her password she changed the background photo to one of an aesthetic she screen shotted. she didn't want to think about dario, they've been arguing a lot more than usual this past week.

slipping on her white air forces, she walked down the hall. she paused near her brother's room, wondering if he was home. she hadn't seen or heard him when she fell asleep. hoping he was sleeping, she opened the door with the slightest creek.

it was around 4pm she doubted he'd be gone from is 'errands'. to her surprise she found him knocked out in the middle of his bed with his mouth open in a snore. smiling to herself she tapped his shoulder lightly to let him know where she was going.

"junie?", he tiredly rubbed his eyes and sat up on his elbows to look at the clock.

"i'm going out, okay? do you want anything from the store?", he shook his head and opened his nightstand to show her the items inside.

a pistol, pepper spray, taser and an extendable baton. he glanced her at expectantly and looked back down, silently asking her to take one.

"what? no. i'm not carrying around any of those things.", he sighed and shoved the small taser in her hand anyway.

"take it. call me if you need anything.", then he rolled back onto his stomach, not allowing her to get another comment in.

carefully putting it inside her pocket, she double checked to make sure it wouldn't send her into cardiac arrest on accident.

grabbing a cold bottle of water she jogged out of the front door and down the hall. she didn't know where she was going so it would be best to let her thoughts wander and let her feet take her wherever she was meant to be.

the ride down the elevator consisted of her overthinking the possibilities that could've happened to a certain singer. she hasn't heard any recent news about her, where she's been, what she's been doing. it was worrying the whole fandom, even though they had a fall out she was still supportive of the pop star.

none of the paparazzi that were usually following her had any photos of her whereabouts. even they were beginning to get concerned, they knew she usually went out at least a few times during the week.

everybody who knew of her relevance were going out of their minds wondering about the disappearance. she left leaving a black screen and words of she'll be back soon and that everybody needs to take care of themselves.
