Joanne ~ Back in time

Chapter 3~Not the girl I thought she was

{Joe's POV}

As I walk into the studio I see her sat on one of the stools waiting for me. I still couldn't tell how she was going to react I thought I should probably say something first though.

J-"hey"
D-"hi"she looked back down at the floor.
J-"look I'm so sorry for what I said and how I said it, I honestly didn't mean it I just, I just"
D-" you just what" she interrupted angrily, then she continued " you just what, eh I was prepared to be nice and get to know you but you reply horribly and make me feel like sh*t"
J-"Look I really am sorry, I want to make it up to you, you know what I will make it up to you"
Dianne looked up at me and shrugged her shoulders.
J-"Why don't you come round to mine tomorrow after school so we can get to know each other more"
D-"what do you mean more we haven't even started to get to know each other"
J-"I know but we are gonna start now"
I say as I pull up a stool so I am sat in front of her.
D-"okay"
J-"you start"
D-"fine, I'm Dianne Claire Buswell"
I got lost in her words staring at her whilst she talks to me in her sweet Australian accent.
D-"I used to live in Australia as you can probably tell by the accent" she smiled "urm I am fluent in Italian and Spanish and am pretty good at Indonesian as well. I love music and can play many musical instruments. But my main passion is dance, I have danced all my life it's helped me get through some pretty tough stuff"
J-"cool"
D-"sorry you didn't need to know the last bit"
J-"Dianne it's ok you don't have to apologize I should be the one apologizing"
D-"Joe you've apologized enough, anyway it's your turn to talk about yourself"
J-"fine, I'm Joseph Graham Sugg, I was born and raised in England i'm fluent in English and take Spanish and French but aren't very good at them" she laughed, I loved making her laugh and smile. Wow, I sound like a creep I have literally know her properly for a couple of minutes. Anyway I continue "My passions are art and music"
D-"I saw you walk down the corridor with you sketch book earlier"
J-"Yeah, I always have it on me you never know when the next stunning view or beautiful face will show, oh that reminds me"
She looked at me confused

{Dianne's POV}

Joe got his sketch book and pencils out and started drawing .
D-"Reminds you of what" I sat confused
J-"You'll see, grab that guitar and start playing it"
D-"What should I play"
J-"Anything"
D-"okay, I've got a song"
J-"what is it?"
D-"Iris by Goo Goo Dolls"
J-"Good choice"
D-"I'm not singing though"
J-"that's fine, maybe another day"
I laughed
D-"please just tell me what you are doing"
J-"fine, like I said a couple of minutes ago you never know when the next stunning view or beautiful face will show. In this room I have both. A beautiful face and a stunning view." I blushed a little as he spoke he then continued "You're probably wondering why I consider this music studio a stunning view" I interrupt him "I'm not actually, I love this place too it allows me to be me because the room isn't gonna judge me or make me feel uncomfortable it will just let me be me. I suppose that's what I love about both dance and music, I can express myself without having to put it into words. Sorry that got a little deep" "No I couldn't of said it better myself" Joe looked at me, right in the eye and I looked back. "Anyway, let me get drawing before next lesson and you get playing" He says.

{Joe's POV}

I begin to draw her. She looks so happy holding the guitar and as she's playing she makes it look so easy which believe me is hard to do. She also picked an amazing song which I love. Maybe there's more to her than meets the eye.

D-"I wonder what sir was on about when he said we'd be seeing more of each other in his lessons. We normally all just do solos"
J-"Hey, keep still but I overheard him talking to another teacher and apparently he's going to get us to do duets rather than just solos. Oh and he also said something about starting to direct and film music videos for ourselves as he won't be there to hold our hand through life, which technically is true"
D-"what do you mean technically true"
J-"well he won't physically be there to hold our hands through life. But the lessons he taught us and the advice he gave us will be"
D-"I've never looked at it in that way, anyway I'm sorry I'm supposed to be still and playing this guitar"
J-"Again no need to be sorry, and I also think I've finished"
I say as I turn round my drawing of Dianne playing the guitar in the music room.
D-"omg it's amazing where did you learn to draw like that"
J-"aww thanks and I don't know I guess I just picked it up over time, I haven't fully finished it yet I still need to color it"
D-"well it's already amazing how much better can it get"
J-"just wait and see what a little colour can do" I smiled at her and she smiled back. I really did love making her smile.

{Dianne's POV}

His drawing of me was brilliant. I was so shocked I never knew someone could be so good at drawing, but clearly they can Joseph Graham Sugg.

D-"can I look at some of your other drawings, I bet they are just as good"
J-"No one has ever really looked in my sketch book not even my sister"
D-"oh it's okay you don't have to show me if you don't want"
J-"No I do, I was just wondering why I felt like I could show you and nobody else"
D-"Maybe it's because you know you can trust me and I won't judge you"
J-"well yeah and the fact that you have good song choice"
We both laughed. It felt good to laugh with someone new. Maybe me and Joe will get on better than I thought we would. He began to open his sketch book. The pages were filled with outstanding drawings but one thing stood out to me they were all dark. There was no color.

D-"how come you said just wait and see what a little color can do when none of your other drawings have color"
J-"Because colour can transform a drawing but I've never really drawn anything happy or that made me feel happy"
D-"So I make you feel happy"
J-"well yeah"
D-"that's not what you thought this morning"
J-"I thought we were past that and we had moved on"
D-"we have I was just saying"
J-"Well you know what"
D-"what"
J-"You do make me happy, I haven't felt this good in a long time. It's probably because you don't see me as a broken, alone boy like everyone else. They have all labeled me that so I have become that to them"
D-"Look I don't know what's happened in your life but I know that you're not broken or alone. If you were alone you have me now. And if you are broken then let me help you pick the pieces back up."
J-"No one has ever been this kind or non judge mental towards me before"
D-"Well there's a first for everything and we all have our s**t that we don't want to talk about, I mean I have a lot, but if you do ever want to talk just call me"
J-"How will I do that without your number"
D-"Smooth real smooth" I say as he types his number into my phone and I type mine into his. We both laugh as the bell goes for the next lesson.
