Joe's POV:

I've never be more excited to go to college than now. I'm thriving in my dance classes and Aj's brother is getting better by the hour. And we've been looking after him in the spare time when he's got down about it. Chloe, Amy and I have officially met properly after I got bumped into the intermediate class, just before Dianne's pro class. I even get to help out the kids in the beginners class still. Overall I'm happy. And I know Dianne is too now that she's got a hold of all her friends problems.
"Amy wasn't fine, but she is now. That's because of you." I whisper to her as we look at a beaming Amy. I've still not really any clue what was up with her, but I just know I barely saw my girlfriend for a week whilst everything got sorted out.
"And Chloe." She credits.
"Mostly you." I say as I kiss her forehead. According to my lovely Nana Phyllis, if you kiss a girl on her forehead, it means you'll love her forever. I hope to Dianne that's true. Dianne is my world and I'd be broken without her at this point.

Nothing lasts forever.

The back of my mind tries to convince me, but I'm sure with Dianne and I have a good way to prove myself wrong.
"Hey Di, I want you to come to my place tonight please?" She smiles, accepting the offer. I drive around with Zoe to the shop I need before picking Dianne up from her dance class. She comes out with flowers in one hand and her phone in the other. Aj, Chloe and Amy all in line with her.
"Bye guys." I hear a faint voice saying as she winks at them.
"Don't do anything stupid." Amy jokes.
"Right back at you." Dianne laughs. I'm clearly missing something.
"What's up with them three tonight?" I ask. I notice Chloe leaving Aj and Amy alone together.
"Amy and Aj are going on a 'we just broke up with our exes so let's try dating each other' date." Dianne rolls her eyes, chuckling at her long title.
"And Chloe's happy with her boyfriend still, I believe."
"Well, you're hopefully still going to be happy with your boyfriend after tonight." I wink at her, she rests her head on my shoulder, replying.
"I would never not be." She sounds sleepy and Zoe picks up on this.
"I'm off to Alf's tomorrow, Joe. Are you keeping Dianne with you?" Dianne's head slightly perks up.
"Unless her parents say I can't then yes I'm going to." Dianne immediately takes out her phone, seeing various messages.
Aj's brother has just been discharged from hospital. We're off to see him now xx
Did you hear the news? I'm leaving them two alone tonight but you bet I'll be seeing Curtis tomorrow xx
Hey pip, any way you can sleep out tonight? Long story, but our heating is completely broken. We're not sure what's happened. You'd freeze if you came here xx
Just so you know, I love you so freaking much and I hope to spend my life with you xxx
Thank you-C xx
Joe's really fallen for you, hasn't he? xx

I read the names very carefully, as she replies to Amy then Chloe. She smiles as she rereads her dad's text. These things always seem to happen just when we want them to. She skips the message I sent, but replies to Connie and laughs at Zoe's message. I guess that answers my question about what I was going to do.

A/N: I wanted Aj's brother to at least have some happy ending so here's mine for him!
