Youngblood

Chapter 12

Dianne's POV

I wake up in Joe's arms, feeling his breath on my back of my neck.

"Morning beautiful," Joe whispers.

"Morning handsome," I reply, looking up into his deep blue eyes. He leans down and kisses me gently and I roll over so that I'm facing him.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"Ten," Joe says, tracing my jawline with his thumb.

"Wow. That's way later than I normally sleep in," I say. Joe kisses my forehead and I get out of bed. I only have the clothes from yesterday, and I don't particularly feel like wearing them again.

"Can I borrow some of Zoë's clothes?" I ask.

"Sure. Take your pick. She's probably staying over at Mark's," Joe says, finally getting out of bed himself. I head into Zoe's room and pull out a cute top, jumper and some jeans to wear and then head into the bathroom to get changed. When I come back out, Joe's already dressed and we head downstairs.

I grab a couple of bowls and some cereal and start pouring in the cereal when Joe comes up from behind and puts his arms around my waist.

"What's that for?" I laugh.

"I love you," Joe says. "Is that not a good enough reason?"

"Morning lovebirds," Tracey says, coming in and smiling at the pair of us. I blush and Joe let's go and I bury my face into his shoulder. "Aw, there's no need to blush."

I continue making us both breakfast and hand Joe his bowl and he gets us both spoons.

"Mikey asked if we all wanted to go to his," Joe says. "If you wanted to go and see your mum then that's fine."

"No no, I'll come!" I say. It's not like my mum will even pay any attention to me. Unless your one of her clients or colleges, she's not going to give a damn about you. Tracey looks at me and smiles a sad smile.

"You sure?" Joe checks. I nod.

"Course I'm sure."

-Later in the day-

Joe's POV

We all step into Mikey's house and squeeze onto the sofas and Mikey gets the remotes and some of the us start playing video games. Dianne drapes her legs across me and Katya. I doesn't don't mind but Katya keeps on giving her funny looks. When I've stopped playing I hand my remote over to Conor and turn to face Katya. She smiles at me, but kind of creepily. Luckily Dianne hasn't noticed anything.

"Right, time for some food," Josh says.

"That's all you ever think about I swear," I comment, getting up off the sofa.

"Can you get me some?" Dianne asks. I agree and she stays behind with Anna, Jack, Oli, Lauren and Chloe.

"So Joe," Katya says, approaching me. "Tell me some more about yourself."

She places a hand on my chest and I shove it off.

"What're you playing at?" I scoff.

"What?" Katya questions. "Nothing. I was just asking you a question."

"Katya I saw the looks you gave Dianne and Joe," Josh says. "What're you doing?"

"Nothing," Katya says, sighing. I grab the food and head back into the living room. I cuddle up next to Dianne to make sure that Katya gets the message that I'm with Dianne, end of story.

We play video games for a bit longer until everyone decides to start heading off. Just as I'm about to leave with Dianne Katya comes up to me.

"How about we get coffee after school tomorrow?" Katya asks. "Like a date."

"Katya I'm with Dianne," I state firmly.

"Yeah but you deserve better than her," Katya says, rolling her eyes in Dianne's direction. I look at Dianne and see her eyes brimming with tears. She runs out of the house.

"Katya, how could you? We trusted you! Dianne is the most perfect and amazing and hard working and beautiful and incredible human beings you'll ever meet and I'm in love with her! So you can stop whatever game you're playing!" I yell, and run off after Dianne. 

A/N: Here's the drama after the last chapter was relaxed. Also had some Joanne fluff. Hope you're all still enjoying this fanfic! Xx
