Love is Electric- joe and dianne one shots

where memories are made (part 1)

This is a very long chapter. It is also the first 2 parter of this book. It will have a second part which will be out soon. As always the parts in italics are flashbacks. Hope you enjoy.

"Summer sadie sugg, no, no, no, don't do that. Summer, dont...."
And with that said a massive bang echoed through joe and diannes bedroom, along with their mattress collapsing onto the floor after the bed frame.

"Oh my god summer! Mummy told you to stop"
Diannes voice raised which was a rare occurrence. It was so loud infact that joe rushed upstairs being the overprotective dad and husband he was, thinking something extremly bad had happened.

"What happened? You were screaming"
He asked peaking his head around the door.

"What do you mean what's happened? Cant you see. Summer was jumping on our bed and shes broken it. The wood from the frame has actually snapped in two"
Dianne rushed her words feeling so much anger in that moment.

"Hey....its ok. We've had it for 8 years, it was on its last legs anyway. We can get a new one, we'll just sleep in the spare room until then"
Out of the two of them, joe was definitely the more calm and collected parent. They were both very similar types of parents which was good considering they had a child together, but joe was just that little but calmer. He always had a solution and knew how to fix everything.

"But she broken it joe. I told her to stop and she still bounced on it. She didn't bloody listen."
Dianne shouted at joe leaving summer sat on the broken bed gazing up at her parents who were now in an argument, her 3 year old brain not knowing what was going on.

"Shes a kid dot. She was just having fun. It was an accident."
Joe told her

"But she broke it"
Dianne continued to shout

"We have a spare bed. We have enough money to buy a new one for this room. It's ok, it's not the end of the world"
He said

"Oh my god joe, you just dont get it do you. Come on summer, your going to bed"
Dianne said to joe before turning to the little girl, scooping her up in her arms and taking her into the room next door leaving joe by himself in their room to sort out the broken bed.

A few hours later, dianne wondered into the spare bedroom which she had figured out would be her and Joe's now until they brought and got a new bed frame delivered. She climbed into the bed next to joe, an instant cold feeling hitting her. Physically and in the atmosphere. It wasn't like their bed. It was like staying away from home and just wanting to be back in the comfort of your own bed. It felt different and although she had slept in the spare room before, it didn't feel normal. The atmosphere between her and joe was cold too. They hadn't spoken since their very quick but intense argument. They always made up no matter what which they both knew was going to happen now but everything felt very strange to both of them, especially dianne.

"Hey....."
Joe began the conversation they would always have after an arguement to try and make up.

"Hey....sorry for earlier I just, it was in the moment. I'm still so angry and I think I had a valid reaction but i could of....I dont know. I'm sorry, I was mad. I couldn't hold in my emotions. It was a big thing for me"
She explained to him

"Its ok, even though you did over react over a bed being broken. I get that sometimes you cant hold in your feelings and you have to unleash them in the moment"
He said

"I dont think I over reacted"
Dianne said quietly trying not to get any more angry.

"You did for the situation. It's just a bed, nobodys died or...."
