Take On Me, a Joanne story

Wildfire

In the doctors

Joe and Dianne glanced at each other before sitting down by the doctor in the dazzling white room...

"So Dianne, whats brought you in today?" Dr. Whittaker kindly asked, leaning forward in his chair".

Dianne's POV

I gently exhale. "As you are aware I have suffered from anxiety and depression in the past due to past trauma and was taking antidepressants to relieve me of some of my symptoms. Recently my boyfriend broke up with me, we had a toxic relationship where he abused me and threatened me a lot of the time. He doesn't live near me so I do not feel that I am at risk, however, the break up has triggered my anxiety and I feel like I am a risk to myself again..."

Joe's POV 

"well done Di, I know that wasn't easy for you. We'll get through this" I look up at her "together" I say squeezing her and in reassurance. 

We made our way to a nearby chemist to hand Dianne's prescription in, she had been prescribed more antidepressants.

I could tell that she was worried and I wanted to do something to help her relax, I have an idea!

After signing the papers Dianne was able to leave the chemist with her new medication and we made our way to the dance studio.

Dianne's POV

I was glad I was able to get some new tablets to help me but I'm dreading the side effects I think to myself whilst examining the new packet. I carefully open the box and peel away the foil and pop two white oval tablets into my mouth and swallow them with some leftover smoothie, 'here we go...' i think to myself. 

Joe and I trained for 5 hours, we wanted to make sure we were ready for our first dance Saturday, he mentioned that we would be filming a reaction review video after and I was secretly excited to go back to his house again, I know it sounds weird but I do feel at home there, he makes me feel safe.

Joe's POV 

Dianne had worked hard today teaching me and I was so proud of her for pushing through after going to the doctors. I finally muster up the courage to ask her if she would like to stay the night at mine as its closer to the studio and I think she would like some company after a busy day.

"Di, would you like to spend the night at mine tonight? I know you have had a busy day and I thought you might like some company tonight? We could order Chinese?"

Dianne's POV 

I was so relieved to be invited round Joe's tonight, I think it's for the best since I have just started medication again and it wouldn't be the worst idea to have someone keep an eye on me...

"YES!" I respond "Urrr please, I think that would be a good idea, thank you!" I add making sure I don't sound too desperate. 

We pack up our belongings from the dance studio and call a taxi to take us back to Joe's for the night. Just like normal, the taxi didn't take long to arrive and once it did we piled in and drove home. 'mmm home' i thought to myself, liking the sound of it in my mind.

Once we got to Joe's flat he ran to another room, I wondered what he was doing but didn't question it, I decided to plug my phone in on charge and place it on the table, he appeared from out the back...

"Hey... I know you have had a stressful day and I thought id do something nice for you... Take a look in the bathroom..." Joe said.

I walk into the bathroom and my jaw drops, wow. Joe had run me a hot bubble bath filled with red rose petals with tea lights running down the sides of the bath, it looked perfect and was exactly what I needed. Without thinking I ran up to him and kissed him deeply, what did I do to deserve him?
