Joanne ~ Back in time

Chapter 51~Not again

{Joe's POV}

Dianne walked in and closed the door behind her. I dropped to my knees in floods of tears. I was in pure shock.

J-"D"
D-"Hi"
J-"Your Okay"
D-"And you're not happy"
J-"Of course I'm not happy"
D-"I thought you- I thought you would"

Dianne also dropped to the ground in tears. She looked me in the eye both of us still in tears.

D-"I thought you would would move on from me"
J-"Oh no never"

I hugged Dianne so tight I don't think I could bare letting go of her. She held me tightly back. I have missed this woman so much. I'm so thankful that she is okay.

J-"D I'm so sorry"
D-"It's okay please just hold me"
J-"..."
D-"Hold me and don't let me go"
J-"I won't"

We stayed on the floor in each other's arms for hours. We were hugging because we were so relieved that the other one was okay. Dianne probably still hates me. Eventually, we stand up and walk towards the kitchen.

D-"So how have you been"
J-"Fine"

Dianne raised her eyebrows at me as she knew that wasn't the answer.

D-"You don't look fine"
J-"What do you mean"
D-"Joe have you eaten"
J-"Not much I just felt so filled up with emotions that I couldn't eat"

Dianne walked up to the counter and reached for the bread she popped it in the toaster she stayed silent. The toast popped up and Dianne took it and buttered it she put it on a plate and pushed it towards me.

D-"Eat"
J-"What"
D-"Eat"
J-"..."

Dianne stared at me until I picked it up and ate it. Dianne barely spoke.

D-"I should go"
J-"What nowhere are you going"
D-"Back to my old house"
J-"Oh"
D-"Don't worry I'll be in school tomorrow"
J-"Ok"

Dianne walked out without giving me a hug or anything. I can't blame her but it hurt. I suppose she remembered the reason she left in the first place. She looked well which is good...

Beep beep beep...

I smacked my alarm so hard it broke. Oops. I need to get ready for school and I can't be late because I don't think Dianne would be impressed if I was late.

{Dianne's POV}

Joe had actually arrived at school on time today. I was impressed. Anyway, we are in our first lesson of music today. In this lesson, we all have to sing a solo of the song happier. Some people are making it slower others are making it faster others and completely changing it. The last one the teacher didn't like so much, anyway it was my turn to sing.

Throughout the whole performance, Joe and I were looking at each other. At one point I had to look down because if I didn't I would have cried and that wouldn't have looked great. A few more people went before it was Joe. I was not looking forward to this don't get me wrong Joe is an amazing singer but I knew if I wasn't careful I would cry. Joe began with his guitar in hand.

The lesson ended and before Joe could talk to me I ran out of the class to maths where I would be sat next to Joe. Great! my luck is seriously incredible... not! Thankfully the teacher didn't like us talking so I knew he wouldn't say anything to me or at least I hoped.

{Joe's POV}

Midway through the lesson, Dianne rested her head on my shoulder. I looked down at her precious face. I wonder how the baby was, Dianne must be tired. She looks so beautiful. I kissed her forehead and I saw her smirk a little I placed my hand on her thigh at first she seemed shocked maybe even a little scared but she soon settled and smiled. We had dance practice next I knew we would have to go careful because of the baby. Dianne hasn't mentioned the baby yet maybe she doesn't want to cause an argument as she probably still thinks I'm angry with her about it.

{Dianne's POV}

We were in dance practise and had been her for about 30 minutes. We have done about 14 run-throughs of the dance so far but I knew Joe wanted to talk however I don't know if I'm ready all I know is Joe's not going to be happy with what I say. Just as I was about to say something Joe did.

{Joe's POV}

J-"You know I wasn't angry or mad I was in pain I was scared"
D-"Scared of what"
J-"Scared that I would let my parents down by not being a good enough dad scared that I'd let you down"
D-"You don't think I was scared, Joe"
J-"You've looked after Macklynn and Eponiné for years"
D-"Yes but there my sisters and yes I took on the role of mum for them but I didn't have to give birth to them I didn't have to look after them when they were babies my parents were sane enough to do it themselves back then"
J-"..."
D-"You weren't the only one that was scared you were too caught up in feeling sorry for yourself that you forgot I might be scared you forgot to ask what I wanted, what we wanted... you think your the only one with family issues well your not just because my messed up family finally have things in order doesn't mean that the issues just disappear they don't disappear I wish they did but they don't"
J-"Dianne I'm sorry"
D-"I'm sorry to"
J-"you know you broke my heart when you left and a small part of me thought that I hated you but I hated you because I loved you... I love you I still love you"
D-"I still love you too Joe but"
J-"No buts Dianne"
D-"But I'm leaving again and this time well this time I'm not coming back"
J-"What"
D-"I'm sorry but I'm leaving"
J-"No you can't Di please"
D-"Joe I have been offered an opportunity a really great one you've got to let me go"
J-"Dianne"

Dianne walked off. It was that simple. She walked off.
