Joe and Dianne: Oneshots

Who would do that part 2

Dianne's POV

As soon as we got back to mine I went into the bathroom and jumped in the shower. I had a quick shower and then jumped out wrapping a fluffy towel around me. I could see hand shaped bruises coming up on my arms and I shivered thinking what could have happened if Stacey didn't show up when she did. I put on my fluffy pjs and grabbed some out of the drawer for Stacey to put on. I walked into the living room and handed them to her. She went and put them on and the minute she got back I snuggled into her side and put her tv on. As I was watching tv I felt my eyes start to close and I drifted off to sleep. I felt Stacey lay me down and place a blanket over me. I don't know how long I was asleep before I was startled awake by a nightmare. I sat up quickly and looked around but couldn't see properly as I had tears streaming down my face. I felt arms wrap around me the voice in my ear telling me it was going to be alright. With tears still streaming down my face I told Stacey what happened in my dream. 'I was at the club, I went out for some air but this time you didn't find me and there was nothing I could do. I tried to fight him' I said through my tears 'but he was to strong. It felt so real. I said sobbing into her arms.

Stacey's POV

When I woke up I heard screaming and I wondered where it was coming from. In that minute I woke up I forgot that I was at Dianne's and what had happened last night. I sat up and looked around and saw Dianne sitting there bawling her eyes out. I quickly went over to her wrapping my arms around her. She told me about her nightmare and how real it felt and by the end of it I could feel tears running down my face. I really wanted to help her but I didn't know how to. After ten minutes I felt her go heavy and noticed she had fallen back to sleep. As I looked down at her tear stained face I knew what she needed. She needed Joe, he made her feel safe. I know he would want to know, he adored the ground that she walked on. Once I was sure she was properly asleep and okay I laid her back down and grabbed my phone making my way upstairs and into her bedroom. I sat on the end of the bed and dialled his number.

Joe's POV

I had a nice relaxing evening doing nothing just chilling in front of the tv. Dianne's had planned to go out with some of the pros from Strictly as she hadn't seen them since the show had finished. She had also decided to invite Stacey as we had all become such good friends since the show. It was about 11 when I got a text message saying that Dianne and Stacey where gonna stay at Dianne's tonight because they didn't know what time they where going to get in. I text her back telling her to have a good evening and then decided to go to bed. I was awoke around 1 by my phone ringing. I sat up sill half asleep and reached over for it. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Stacey. I thought it was strange that she was ringing me this late so I answered the call. The minute she spoke I knew something was wrong.

'Hey Joe' 'hey is everything all right' I said. 'I need to tell you something and I don't want you to panic' she said. The moment she said that I started to worry 'what's wrong, is Di alright' I asked. 'Something happened when we where out tonight but she is fine.' 'What happened' I asked. 'Some guy kept trying it on with her throughout the night. She told him she wasn't interested.' 'Okay' I replied 'well she got a little hot and decided to go outside for some air' Stacey said. 'I had been keeping an eye on the guy during the night because I didn't like the way he was looking at Dianne. I got distracted talking to the girls and when I turned back I noticed he wasn't there anymore.' Her words where staring to feel me with dread. 'I went outside to find her and the guy had her pinned against the wall. He was kissing her and had his hands all over her. I grabbed him off of her and three him to the floor but she is pretty shook up by it' Stacey said. I could feel the angry boiling in me, why did he think he had the right to do that to her. 'We have reported it and his been arrested.' 'Where are you now, do you want me to come and get up' I said. 'No, we are back at Dianne's, have been for a while. She didn't want you to know.' 'Why not' I replied. 'She had a stupid thought that you might blame her for it. I told her that wasn't true and she said she didn't want you worrying about her.' 'Of course I'm worrying about her I love her' I said. 'Anyway I decided I didn't want to fight her because of what happened so I didn't tell you. But she woke up 20 minutes ago from a nightmare screaming and she couldn't stop crying and shaking. She gone back to sleep now but I think what she really needs is you' Stacey told me. I feel tears in my eyes thinking about what had happened to her 'I'm coming over now' I said to Stacey and I hung up the phone.

I jumped out of bed quickly and threw some joggers and a T-shirt on and ten quickly made my way down to the car. I can't believe she didn't want to tell me, why would I blame her. She said no it's not her fault. I got to Dianne's in 10 minutes as there was no traffic and this time of night. I parked up and jumped out of the car. I text Stacey to tell her I was outside as I didn't want to wake Dianne if she was still asleep. I couple of seconds later Stacey came and opened to door and bought me into a hug straight away. 'Where is She' I asked into Stacey's shoulder. We walked into the living room and I could see Dianne laying on the sofa fast asleep. Stacey told me she was going to go upstairs to Dianne's spare room and if either of us needed anything to call her. I walked over to Dianne and sat on the floor in front of her. I looked at her face and could see her eyes where red from crying. I bought my hand up to her head and gently stroked her hair. I loved this girl so much.

Dianne's POV

I don't know how long I had been asleep for but I slowly woke up to someone stroking my hair. It took me a while to get my bearing but when I did I turned to see who it was. The minute I saw Joe I burst into tears again. He got up from the floor and sat on the sofa lifting me up and placing me on his lap. I cuddled into him and he wrapped his arms around my shoulder. I was so glad he was here I always felt safe and loved when he was near me. After a couple of minutes I stopped crying and lifted my head to look at him. 'What are you doing here' I said. 'Stacey called me, she was worried about you' he replied. 'I'm so glad your here' I replied. 'I would have been here straight away if you had called me. Why didn't you call me' he asked. I looked down at the floor not knowing what to say. He bought his hand to the bottom of my chin and gently tilted my head up so he was looking into my eyes. 'It wasn't your fault' he said . 'I love you so much, I would do anything to protect you' he replied. I fell back to sleep in arms knowing that I was loved and protected.
