I think this is the best argument chapter I have ever written. I really loved writing this.

Throwing the cotton pad caked in makeup away in the bathroom bin, dianne then threw her hair up with a scrunchie before braving saying Goodnight to joe. It was a normal part of their routine as she always went to bed earlier than him. She would kiss him Goodnight, she would go to sleep and he would join her not so long later. However today, dianne was dreading speaking to joe.
She had come home from tour earlier that day and even since she got back, she felt ignored. Joe had been on his computer playing games pretty much since she got home and it had out her in the worst mood possible. She hadn't seen him in over a week and she had gotten no attention from him since she got back. It was breaking her. She couldnt help but feel sad, like she had done something wrong. Deep down she knew she hadn't but it hurt her that she couldn't even cuddle him or sit and eat dinner together and chat about her adventures whilst on tour.

She stood outside his office door for a while before opening it, nervous at what he would say. Would he turn everything off and go upstairs with her? Or would he stay fixated to his screen which dianne didn't want but secretly felt was going to happen.

"Joey..."
She gently tapped him on the shoulder before he pulled off his headphones.

"Oh my god dot, I'm on a call, could you not of announced your entrance?
Her heart sank, breaking even more that after all the time she spent away from him, he cared more about a game than seeing her.

"Sorry"
Her voice shook, feeling like she was the one in the wrong...again.

"What did you want anyway?"
His tone of voice made her feel like she was an annoyance. It only hurt her even more.

"I just came to say Goodnight"
She smiled trying to hide her pain, like he would recognise it anyway.

"Ok"
He replied simply pulling his headphones back on.

"Joe..."
Sighing almost out of frustration he pulled his headphones back off to listen to her again.

"When will you be up?"
She asked softly, longing for one of his cuddles where he would just wrap up her up in his arms and she could rest againts his chest.

"About 11"
He shrugged.

"That's so long"
Dianne said sadly, looking down at the floor.

"Its not. Its only a few hours. You should be used to sleeping on your own by now with all these tours your doing"
Secretly, that sentence hurt dianne more than anything he had ever said in a long time.

"Ok...don't be too long"
She leant in reluctantly to kiss him feeling like it would mean nothing with he way he was treating her in that moment. He kissed her back softly which only made diannes heart hurt more at the fact he wouldn't come and join her.

2 whole hours had passed.

And dianne who was usually out the second she hit the pillow was still laying wide awake. Normally she would drift off deeply straight away but knowing joe was downstairs without her was keeping her awake. She felt as if she couldn't sleep unless he was next to her and it had just gone 11 too.

She found herself after a few minutes of debating with herself, outside Joe's office door. This time she knocked knowing that her unannounced entrance last time annoyed him.

"Yeah"
He shouted. Dianne nervously pushed open the door seeing him still on the call with his friends.

"Its just gone 11, how long are you going to be?"
She asked quietly.
