Part 5

The next day
(Joes POV)
I totally screwed up yesterday. Dianne's never gonna talk to me again. But she has a CHILD. she's 16! I'm 16 and I can barely look after myself. She's got a hard enough life as it is and I'm just making it harder. I have to talk to her.

I walked over to Dianne's house. (She only lives 4 doors down) and knocked on the door. No answer

Joe        Dianne       Kalani

I know your in there Dianne. You can't hide from me forever. Please I just wanna talk.

*sobbing from the other side of the door*

Dianne please. I want to help you but I can't if you won't let me.

*opens door and stares joe dead in the eye*
You can't fix this joe. And I can't keep seeing you. You can't keep hurting me. I can't handle it. Especially at the minuet.
*goes to shut door*

*puts foot in the way*
No. You're not gonna shut me out. Not this time. I want to know what happened

Joe please. I can't do this right now.

Then when. Cuz it seems like after yesterday you're never gonna talk to me again.

Mommy who's this

Nobody K. Just a boy who goes to my school.

Why is he here

Oh I'm just here to find out about your daddy.

My daddy? Are you my daddy

No K. Why don't you go and play.

No I want to know about my daddy

KALANI PLEASE JUST GO AND PLAY!

*starts crying and goes inside*

*starts crying again and sighs*
I'm such a horrible person

No Dianne your an amazing person. And you're an amazing mum. Not telling kalani about her dad is to protect her.

She deserves everything, but I can't give it to her. Because I'm 16. I'm still in school. How am I supposed to provide for a child when I can't even provide for myself.

No you will. You will and I'll help you.

No

Why why won't you let me help?

*sighs*
When you were nice to me yesterday, that was the first time in a long time that I felt like someone cared. Then when we got into class I realised it was all an act. I-I think I like you. And I want nothing more than to be able to walk around and hold your hand and be with your group but your group would never allow that. And you wouldn't want to go out with me for hell. And I know that.

That's not completely true...I like you Dianne. Like really really like you.  Your funny and clever and have amazing hai-

I can't hear this joe. I can't even be in the same room with you without feeling the urge to-

I can keep my feelings in check

I can't...

...then don't

*end of conversation*

I didn't know what I was doing. But I knew how she felt. And I knew how I felt. I liked this girl. A lot. I leant in and kissed her. Passionately. I don't know why but I did...
