(Joe's POV)
I was sat on the sofa cuddling with dianne. Mark and Rina were sat on the other side of the sofa also cuddling. They were so in love and cute even though they had been together for years. Looking at them made me wish that my mum and dad were still together, I really struggled when they divorced and seeing dianne with both of her parents made me kind of jealous. Knowing I shouldn't be jealous of them I pushed the thought to the back of my mind and looked down at dianne to see that she had fallen asleep on my chest. "Mark, Rina I'm going to head up to bed now, dianne is asleep already so I want to get her comfy in bed" I said quietly before carefully standing up with dianne in my arms. "Ok, night joe" replied Rina. I walked up the stairs and put dianne into bed, I didn't have to wake her as she was already ready for bed. J walked quietly into the bathroom to brush my teeth, as I stepped into the bathroom a wave of sadness washed over me and I began to cry. I sat down on the floor, lent against the wall and bough my knees to my chest. Seeing Mark and Rina so happy together brought back all of the old feeling from when my parents broke up.

I woke up to an empty bed beside me, finding my phone on the bedside table I checked the him and realises that it was 11pm. Standing up I wandered downstairs to find joe. On the sofa watching a film were my mum and dad. "Hey, have u seen joe" I asked quietly, still half asleep. "He took u up to bed about 15 minutes ago and said that u were both going to bed" said my dad. "Ok, thanks, I'm gonna try and find him, night, I love u both" I said and headed for the stairs. "We love u too dotty" my dad said as he pulled my mum closer to him. Going back into our bedroom I suddenly noticed that someone was crying in the bathroom. Shit, it must be joe. "Joey, bub r u ok" I said standing outside the bathroom door. "I'm fine love, go back to bed" he said sniffling. "Something is up Joseph, can I come in" I asked softly. I heard is mumbled reply, "yeah". I open the door to see joe sat on the floor crying.

"Aww baby" dianne said and sat next to me and wrapped her arms around me. "What's up bub" she whispered in my ear before kissing the top of my head. "I'm just being stupid di, don't worry about me" I said and began to wipe my tears. "Joe, I'm your girlfriend, it's my job to worry, now tell we what is wrong" she said. I took a deep breath and began to tell her
(Dianne's POV)
"I struggled a lot when my parents split and I have always been so worried about not finding the right person for me but then I found u and I didn't have to worry about that" I rubbed his arm comfortingly as he continued. "but I still wish my mum and dad were together, I just miss being that one happy family, when Zoe and Alfie got together I struggled to trust Alfie because I thought it could end like my parents relationship but I got over that. But.. but" he faltered, "go on babe" I said comfortingly. "But my parents split really hit me hard, I felt like I wasn't wanted and I had anxiety and depression for quite a while which was caused by their separation. And I know this is stupid but seeing ur parents so happy and in love and seeing u with them kind of made me a bit jealous that u have that happy family I always wanted, it brought back all of the old feelings from when my parents divorced" he finished and began crying again, I pulled him into me and began to rub his back, "u should have said earlier joey, and it's not stupid, u know I'm always here for u because I love u" I said. After a minute he pulls did it of the hug, "thank u di, I love u too, I just needed to get that off my chest and I love the fact that ur parents r so happy, I'll be ok now" I sipped the tears from his cheaks and stood up before pulling him off the floor. "Come on then suggy, let's go to bed"
