Joe and Dianne: Oneshots

Coma

Joe's POV

I was sitting in the office getting some work done when my phone started to ring. I looked down at it and noticed it was Neil. I thought it was weird that he was ringing me. I picked up the phone holding it to my ear.

J: Hey Neil, how are you
N: Hey man, I have something I need to tell you and I don't want you to panic.
J: (starting to panic) it's never good when anyone says that. Is Dianne okay
N: there was an accident after we finished the show tonight
J: What happened
N: we where going back to the hotel and there was someone on a bike on the sidewalk that ran into Dianne.
J: is she alright
N: we are at the hospital at the moment. They are doing tests on her at the moment but they won't let us know what's going on because we aren't family.
J: (started to cry) Oh god I'm on my way down
N: Have you got anyone who can drive you down. I don't think it's safe for you to drive yourself down.
J: I'll get one of my friends to drive me down. I'll be a few hours. Let me know if they tell you anything
N: will do see you soon mate.

With that I hung up the phone and sat back in the chair, shock coming over me at what I had just been told. Then the adrenaline kicked in and I was up off the sofa. I called Mikey and told him what happened and he said he would be over in a minute to drive me down. I ran upstairs and grabbed a few bits putting them into a bag for me and Dianne and then made by way down to the parking garage. Mikey pulled up a couple of minutes later and I jumped into the car. 'Sorry to hear about Dianne mate' Mikey said. 'I just need to see her and make sure she is alright' I replied. We made our way down to Brighton where they where performing tonight. As soon as we got down there I ran into the hospital. I walk into reception and they tell me that Dianne is up in the ICU. I make my way up to the correct floor and see all the Strictly crew and cast sitting in the waiting area. I make my way over to them and they engulf me in a hug. I looked around them and said 'have the doctors said anything.' 'Not much yet, still saying they will only talk to family' Neil said.

I walk over to reception area and said 'can I please talk to the doctor that is treating Dianne Buswell.' 'Sure' the nurse said 'I will call them now.' 'Thank you' I replied going back over to the group. A couple of minutes later a doctor came over to us 'hi, I'm doctor Manning.' I stepped forward 'Joe, I'm Dianne's boyfriend, how is she doing' I asked. 'She was hit by a bicycle and knocked off her feet, hitting her head on the floor. When she came in she was unconscious. We took her for a scan and it revealed that she has a bleed on the brain so we have put her into a induced coma to give her brain time to recover. We are just keeping an eye on her at the moment.' 'Can I see her' I asked. 'Yes follow me' the doctor said. We made our way to the room Dianne was in and I gasped as I saw her laying in the bed. She looked very pale and she was covered in wires. I slowly made my way over to her bed and sat down in the chair next to it. 'I'll leave you alone for a little while' the doctor said. I reached out and placed my hand on top of Dianne's. With my other hand I reached out and stroked her cheek. 'I love you so much, please get better, I don't know what I would do without you' I said. I could feel tears falling down my face. I felt so helpless.
