Poor Di

Chapter 20

Diannes pov
*BANG*
Joe had just stormed out and slammed the door with all of his strength, I understand why he is angry with me I have been blunt and snappy with him all day. I just wanted it to be all over I wanted to be back to dancing again and doing things on my own I don't want to be waited on hand and foot, and I don't want to be sat down all day being carried everywhere, and most of all I wanted to be able to speak again. I was so frustrated with everything and I was taking it out on the one person that loves and supports me through everything. I am such an awful person.

I layed there silently crying for a good hour when there was a quiet knock on the door.

Zoe's PoV
There was a huge bang upstairs coming from joe and diannes room then not long after a very frustrated joe came storming down the stairs and threw himself on the sofa next to me

Z: what's all that about
J: Di, she been so rude and blunt to me all day and all I have tried to do is help her
Z: I know joe but you have to understand she is going through a hell of a lot at the moment
J: I know but I'm trying to help her the most I can but she doesnt seem to care
Z: she does care and I can guarantee she appreciates it but she isn't used to someone doing everything for her and constantly checking up on her
J: but I just want to help
Z: I know you do but the best thing to do now is give her some space for a while and then I'll go speak to her and see weather everything is alright
J: ok fine
Z: she probably just wants some space right now
J: thanks Zoe I don't know what I'd do without you
Z: you would be lost
J: I know I would

We all sat talking for a while until a good hour had passed so I decided to go see her. I walked up the stairs and gently knocked on her door but remembered she couldn't answer so I just came in, she sat up with bright red, blood shot eyes as if she'd been crying for days.
Z: oh darling come here you will be alright
I pulled her into a hug and sat down on the bed next to her. She sat and cried into my chest for a few minutes until I said
Z: are you ready to tell me what's wrong
She just nodded
Z: what's up then is it about the whole hair thing or not
*partly, I just want to be back to normal now, I want to be back dancing and doing things for myself I don't like being waited on hand and foot all the time. And I don't want to lose my hair it's my whole identity that's how people know me, without my hair nobody will know who I am. And most of all I just want to be able to talk again and actually tell joe to go away when he's getting on my nerves or say thank you when somebody passes me something and have conversations without having to write everything down*
Z: number 1 - your being absolutely ridiculous, of corse people will know who you are without your hair and there is so much more to you than just your red hair. Number 2 - I know you want to be back to normal and it's hard having people do stuff for you when your not used to it but you need it to get better you will be back to dancing and doing things by yourself sooner than you think so you just have topersevere for now and you will get through this. And finally just give it another week and you will be back shouting at joe in no time, I promise and if you need to shout at him just ring me and I'll do it for the time being

She cracked a little smile at that last part, but I could see where she was coming from
*thanks Zoe and I will be taking you up on that promise expect me to be calling you a few times a day to shout at him*
Z: I will always be free to shout at my annoying little brother
We shared a little giggle
Z: would you like me to go get joe now or do you want some time to yourself
*can you get him please*
Z: of corse see you soon
*thanks zo*

I walked down stairs to get joe
Z: joe go speak to Di but be nice and understand
J: yeah I will, is she alright
Z: just go speak to her
