Take On Me, a Joanne story

We Didn't Start The Fire

A/N annnnnnddd here it is!

Dianne's POV

I woke up in my bed with a pounding headache, aching all over confused as to what had happened last night...Stretching a bit I sat up running my hand up my thigh 'Come onnn' I heard a northern London accent moan in my head. Still in a sleepy state, I twisted my legs to the side of my bed, ready to get up. I must have drunk a lot last night to end up with a hangover like this, 'three, two, one...' I counted down getting ready to stand up... I reached forward to get my dressing gown groaning deeply 'Say my namee' the familiar voice pleaded, the London accent striking again. 'Stacey?!' I say out loud, suddenly remembering everything that had happened the previous night... What have I gotten myself into I think repeatedly banging my head against my door frame. 

I stroll to my bathroom, my head hanging low. I felt stressed. I have let Joe down big time, he doesnt deserve this, he's done nothing but be there for me through all my stress, he's let me stay around his flat when I couldn't get home, comforted me when Anthony broke up with me, he's even taken me to doctors appointments I think to myself, feeling ashamed.

There is one thing that I know will make me feel better; a bath. I reach down running the water, adding some vanilla scented bubble bath, just as I was going to turn the cold water on my phone vibrates in my dressing gown pocket *vrrrr vrrrr vrrrr* I grab it quickly, realizing I'm being called... Stacey, without thinking I click answer.

S: 'Hey, Di. Listen, can we talk about last night.'

My stomach churns, I think I'm going to be sick... Wait, I think to myself. I'm actually going to be sick, I quickly turn round to the toilet, lift the lid and throw up... about 20 seconds pass, I wipe my mouth and sit up groaning, forgetting I was on call. 

S: 'Dianne? Are you there?'

D: 'Yeh, YES. Sorry, urr of course, we cant talk about last night' I say biting my lip cringing.

S: 'Look, I know last night was crazy, we were all partying and drinking loads, but the truth is, I didn't mean for what we did last night to happen, I was caught up in it all as wasn't thinking straight (A/N pun intended loool). I hope our friendship is strong enough to survive this? I dont want to lose you Di, you're a great friend.'

I exhale deeply, feeling relieved, I completely agree with Stacey, 100%, and I want to keep our friendship too... I glance over at the bath which is getting quite full, I turn the cold tap on, allowing it to reach a perfect temperature.

D: 'Of course Stacey, I think it's for the best too, and hey, thanks for looking out for me' I say smiling to myself. 'Look, I've got to go now, but I'll see you around'

S:'Bye Di. Thanks for understanding'

D:'Bye.'

Feeling extremely relieved, I untie my dressing gown, click play on my music, place my phone down on the side and slip into the bath sighing deeply finally feeling content...

A/N: hope y'all liked it and are not too disappointed! I now have some ideas for my future chapters :)
