(a/n) soo, the person that i'm going to make a dick in this chapter is definitely a nice person irl. As I've said before, I just want this story to have texture and you can't do that without a vary in characters.

ALSO I DON'T UNDERSTAND DANCE STEPS SO THE BEAT WILL BE WRONG PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!

Diannes pov

"Whew!" I said, flopping onto the floor after we had finished the dance in training.

"Whew indeed" Joe said, chucking himself on the floor next to me. I laughed and nudged him with my shoulder. He nudged my back, knocking my hand in the process and sending sparks of electricity through my arm.

Suddenly, we heard footsteps outside the door. Joe and I rushed to open it- this training session wasn't being filmed so we were confused as to who it could be.

Joe's pov (finally!)

I looked over at Dianne before opening the door, expecting to see a look of curiosity and excitement but instead I was met by a look of...fright?

No, it couldn't be. I opened the door, hoping Dianne wasn't scared of whoever it wa-

"Joe!! Dianne!!" The voices of two people filled the room. I smiled, it was only Ranj and Jeanette. I gave Ranj a hug, not noticing the staying fear on Diannes face.

"Dianne, can I talk to you? It's about the Halloween makeup!" Said Jeanette. Huh, that's odd. Dianne wasn't going to be wearing a lot of creepy makeup on Halloween night.

As far as I knew, out of the four of us, it was mainly ranj and I that would have the biggest costumes and makeup.

I shrugged it off and spoke to Ranj about how I was excited for the new number.

Diannes pov
Oh no. Oh NO! Jeanette absolutely terrified me! Now, you may think I was crazy. But I wasnt. For the past couple of weeks, she had been giving me dirty looks when nobody could see and saying snide comments about my voice and body when nobody could hear.

I didn't know why exactly she acted like this or why she wanted to talk to me but she soon ledy outside to speak.

"Now, listen here, Dianne" she said, a smirk growing on her face. "Ranj and I will get through on Saturday and, believe my i- I mean WE will crush you and joe"

How was I meant to react to that?

"Oh, um okay." I mumble.

She turned to leave, before facing me again.

"Oh, and one more thing"I didn't get to hear the rest of her sentence before a sharp stinging pain met my left cheek.

She was gone, collecting Ranj, being all sunshine smiles and perfect posture in front of him and joe. I couldn't handle it.

Without them noticing, I rushed down the corridor to a deserted office room. I learnt against the door and began to cry, slowly slipping down before I crumpled on the floor.

I raised a hand to my cheek. I obviously wasn't worth it. Why else would she treat me like this? Why else would Anthony break up with me like that? Joe would never like someone like me.

Footsteps.

Quick footsteps.

A knock on the door.

"Dianne?" "Dianne?" "Dianne, are you okay?"

Joe.

It was Joe

"No" I thought. "Stay away from him. He doesn't need you"

I stayed quiet.

"Dianne I'm coming in now"

I reluctantly shuffle away from the door and closer to the abandoned desk.

The door opened.

He saw my tear stained face and my red cheek.

"Dianne? Are you okay?" He said, rushing down next to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I lie, trying to sound joyful and convincing.

"What happened to your cheek?" He said, moving closer and touching it gently.

"Oh, nothing I'm fine!"

Joe didn't look convinced.

Without saying anything, he gently pulled me into his arms for a hug. I felt safe. We stayed like that for a while before we had to go and start training again 

He offered me a hand off the floor and helped me up.

I reluctantly followed him back to our training room, checking each corner and staircase on the way.

We entered the room again. I was relieved to see that Ranj and Jeanette had gone.

I tried to start from the beginning of the number again and, soon enough, I forgot all about Jeanette and Anthony.

I just enjoyed dancing.

Dancing with Joe.
