Dianne's pov
A feeling of frustration filled me as I heard our bedroom door slam shut . I grabbed my jacket and keys and walked out of the apartment slamming the door behind me .
I walk to Caspar and Ambars as fast as I could knowing Joe would be coming to look for me . I was to angry at him .
I get to Caspar and Ambars and knock on the door
A few moments later Caspar opens the door .
"Dianne is everything okay " Caspar says
"I need to talk to you about Joe" I say
"Come in " He says
I walk into their house and sit on the sofa
"What's he done now " Caspar says sitting opposite me .
"He's hiding stuff from me again . He's not better like he says he is . His lying to some many people and it's like he's lost the trust for the people who love him " I says
"He's still doing that . I thought Joe was better "Caspar says
"So did I. When we came back from Australia something changed in him. I feel like he's just got worse ." I say
"Dianne. Sometimes he lashes out when he's scared . Try and talk to him " Caspar says
"I've tried and I can't . He won't listen to me " I say sadly .
"Leave him for a while . If you need any help call me ." Caspar says
"Caspar ,I can't lose him" I say
"I know. Nether can I " Caspar says.
I get up and head to the door .
Caspar follows me out and we say goodbye. I then decided to go home .
Although I knew joe was there . I knew I had to go back .
I reach our door and unlock it . I sigh before pushing open the door and entering the apartment.
I shut the door behind me and all I can hear is water running .
I walk into the living room to see a smashed photo frame on the floor and a bottle of un touched whiskey on the table
I walk through the living room
I get a brush and begin to clean it up.
I hear a door open and footsteps down the stairs.
I pick up the photo

Tears fill my eyes Happier days

Tears fill my eyes
Happier days .
"What happened Joe . Tell me " I whispered to myself .
I stood up and turned around to see Joe standing by the stairs .
There was silence .
I walked into the kitchen and placed the photo on the counter .
I noticed I had glass in my hand
"Dianne you've got glass in your hand . I'll go get the first aid kit " Joe says from behind me
"No it's fine ." I say
"Dianne " Joe says
"Joe ,it's fine honestly " I say slowly taking the glass out to hand

" Dianne . I didn't want to lie to you . I just ...

"Joe . We're better than this aren't we " I say
"Yes we are " Joe says
"I'm sorry I was angry. I just I thought you were better and I thought you told me everything . But I was wrong and I just got angry at myself and I was just angry that Zoe and Alfie hurt us like they did .I say
"Dianne I'm sorry to I shouldn't have hid things from you . I promise when I feel sad I'll tell you because I know you just want to help " Joe says
I turn around and look at him with tears in my eyes
"I love you so much Okay and I can't lose you ever " I say  hugging him
"I love you too" Joe says with tears falling down his face and him hugging me tightly
"Let's clean your hand up and then the house and then we can chill for a bit." Joe says
" I'd love that " I say pulling his closer to me and kissing him .

Later On That evening
Zoe and Alfie sat on the sofa . There was an awkward silence through out the apartment. Joe sat on the stool beside me taping on the counter
"I know you wanted us not go to jail but that doesn't mean you couldn't have told us " I start
"Dianne we just wanted to what's best for all of us " Zoe says 
"It doesn't change what you did " Joe says
"I know it doesn't Joe but we're trying to stop my brother and her wife and ourselves from going to jail because your wife committed man slaughter " Zoe snaps
"This doesn't  mean that it's my fault  " I say
"I know it's doesn't Dianne. It's not anyone's fault it's this stupid bitch trying to tear us apart . We need to stick to together or we're going to be in a jail cell for a long time . All of us " Alfie says
"I agree " Joe says
"Then we need to stick together no matter what " I say
"I think  that's what we can all agree on " Zoe says

Later on that evening
2am
Joe was asleep beside me . I get a text in my phone
Unknown
It's time to find out the truth . Meet me where you first met.
Come alone or they'll be trouble
Don't tell a soul
I'll be there waiting
