Enjoy❤️

*the next morning*

Joes POV
I always keep my door locked at night I don't know why but it just makes me feel safe some how. I woke up to the sound of screaming coming from down stairs and someone banging on my door. "JOE JOE" I heard someone scream then instantly realised it was Zoe. I jumped out of bed and opened the door to see her stood there crying her eyes out, i instantly pulled her into a hug and brought her into my room and shut the door and put her down on my bed.
"Zoe what time is it ?" I asked her whilst she was still holding onto my hands
"4 am they have been shouting for hours I've been screaming for you to let me in, why are you such a deep sleeper" she replied sobbing.
"Zoe I'm so sorry" I said giving her a hug.
"It's ok, right let's stay in here until they stop" she said holding me close.
"No! I'm not having this anymore" I shouted.
"Joe please don't shout" said moving away from me.
"I'm not standing for this anymore!!!" I screamed.
"Joe stop it please your scaring me as much as them" she said backing away from me.
"Sorry I just....." I said but before I could get any more words out she shouted "Please I hate living here all I hear is shouting it's scary" before she ran out of my room and out the front door.
I quickly ran downstairs and ran outside and chased her up the street.
"Zoe please! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to frighten you, I wasn't thinking" I said grabbing her hand.
"Please don't do it again you really scared me I don't like it" she said giving me a hug.
We then walked home and got ready for school , by the time we got home our parents had left thank god I didn't want Zoe to be frightened any more, even though she's older I'm very protective over her and I care about her so much because I know she has anxiety and doesn't like screaming and arguing so I have to take care of her. We then left the house together and walked to school.

Diannes POV
I woke up for school and got ready. I didn't feel like eating so I left the house straight away and headed to AJs, when I got there he asked me why I was so early and I just told him that I just got up and got dressed and left since I had nothing else to do. We walked to school together and went straight to form. I then realised I had English first and I had to work on the project with Joe, wish me luck.
When we got to English miss told us to sit down straight away and get on with our project. I sat down next to Joe and got the project out, we started to talk about more ideas and surprisingly we got on really well and I found out that Joe has a great sense of humour and that he's a good person to work with.
"Right we need to stop laughing now and get on with it" I said whilst half laughing.
"You can't say that whilst your laughing" he replied himself.

Joes POV
It got to the end of the day and I went to meet Zoe outside by the gates but she looked really upset so I asked what was wrong and she told me that she had gotten a text off mum saying that her and dad wanted to speak to us , I told Zoe that it was ok and that I would be there the whole time. Zoe doesn't like our parents that much anymore because they don't pay attention to us.
We get to see mum and dad sat on the couch waiting for us. Mum looked like she had been crying, she told us to sit down and that they needed to tell us something, Zoe grabbed my hand for comfort. We sat down next to eachother and looked at mum and dad.
"Were getting a divorce" mum said.
Zoe's grip on my hand instantly tightened.
"What?" We both said in sync.
"I thought you loved eachother?" I asked.
"Things change" dad said.
Zoe burst into tears and let go of my hand and ran upstairs I quickly ran after her.
I found her upstairs in her bedroom clinging onto a teddy mum and dad had bought her for her 4th birthday.
'Zoe it's gonna be ok" I said sitting down beside her.
" I know, it's just a bit of a shock that's all" she told me.
" I know" I replied.

Short chapter but oh well❤️
