Joe and Dianne: Oneshots

Dance off

Dianne's POV

It was currently week four of the competition and me and Dev had done our fourth dance of the competition. We where now waiting under the spotlight waiting to see if we where through to next week. As the number of couples waiting to find out if they got through got lower and lower I started to get more nervous. Then the dreaded moment came and the words came out of Tess' mouth that I didn't want to hear 'and the couple in the dance off is .......... Dev and Dianne.' I could feel my face drop as she said it but I decided we had to try our hardest in the dance off to try and get through. We had redone the dance and now it was the moment of true. As I stood next to Dev with the light shining down on us, I had a really bad feeling that we where about to be kicked out and slowly but surely that bad feeling become a reality. Me and Dev where out of the competition. I could feel tears welling up but I decided I needed to be strong. Me and Dev walked over to Claudia and Tess and had a little chat and then we had to get ready for out last dance. As I stood there with Dev I felt my resolve break and I could feel the tears rolling down my face and my shoulders shaking. I felt Dev wrap his arms around me and that just made me cry even more. When our leaving song started I wanted to have a last dance with Dev but I couldn't will my body to move. The tears just kept falling down my face.

Amy's POV

I never thought that Dev and Dianne would be in the dance off this early in the competition. As the judges one by one choose to save the other couple I could see Dianne's face start to drop. I could feel the tears welling up in my own eyes. Dianne had very quickly become one of my best friends and I really didn't want her to be out of the competition yet. As they took there positions on the dance floor I felt my heartbreak as I saw Dianne's shoulders start to shake as she started to cry. I so desperately wanted to run down there and engulf her in the biggest hug but I knew I wasn't aloud down there yet. The moment their last dance song started I started making my way down the stairs and then ran over to them as quick as possible wrapping my arms round Dianne from behind as she continued to hug Dev. As the others celebs and pros started coming onto the dance floor I took Dianne out of Dev's arms and wrapped my arms around her moving her off to the side. I could feel her sobbing into my shoulder and the minute they announced the show was finished I let go off her keeping my arm around her shoulder and walked her off the set and down to the girls dressing room. By the time we got to the dressing room her tears had started to slow down but they where still falling from her face. I sat down on the sofa in the room and Dianne sat down next to me falling into my open arms. I couple of minutes later I felt a heavy weight on me and looked down to see that Dianne had fallen asleep. I grabbed a pillow putting it under her head as I slowly slid out from next to her so I could get changed. I looked at her face and she looked so sad. Just then the other girls started to make their way into the dressing room and I had to put my finger to my lips to quieten then down to make sure they didn't wake up Dianne. They all looked towards her with a sad look on their faces and then quietly went about getting changed.

Joe's POV

I had just finished Waitress for the next night and was just getting in my Uber to go to the BBC studios to film the podcast. I quickly sent a text over to Dianne to tell her I would be over soon. I thought it was weird when I didn't get a reply from her but I assumed that she was just getting changed from that nights show. Thirty minutes later and I got out of my Uber, thanking the driver and made my way into the studio. As soon as I got into the studio I looked around for Dianne but I couldn't see her. I saw Katya and Karen so I made my way over to them to see if they knew where Dianne was. 'Hey girls' I said 'have you seen Dianne anywhere.' 'Have you not spoken to her since the show finished' Karen asked. 'No why' I asked. 'Her and Dev got voted out this week' Katya said. 'Oh god' I replied 'is she alright.' 'She was in floods of tears' Katya replied 'Amy took her to the girls dressing room if you want to go and see her.' 'Ok thanks' I replied as I made my way to her. I can't believe they where in the dance off, let along got voted out of the competition. I made my way to the dressing room and gently knocked on the door. A couple of minutes later I saw Oti's head pop out of the door and when she saw it was me she gave me a sad smile and opened the door completely. I looked into the room and that's when I spotted my girlfriend fast asleep on the sofa. I quietly made my way over to her sitting on the floor in front of her so I was facing her. I took in all her features and could see her eyes where swollen and red from crying. Oti and Amy said they would leave me to it and made there way out of the room. As soon as they left the room I bought my hand up to her face and gently stroked her cheek. I hated the fact that she had been voted out and I hated it even more that she was so upset about it. I kept stroking her face for a good five minutes just looking at her before I felt her begin to stir. Her eyes started to flicker and then they opened looking straight into mine.

Dianne's POV

I don't know how long I was sitting crying with Amy but the next thing I felt was someone gently stroking my cheek. As my eyes started to flicker I realised I was laying down and that I must have fallen sleep. When I opened my eyes I expected to see Amy but that wasn't the face that I saw. When I opened my eyes I came face to face with Joe and he was staring into my eyes. As soon as I realised it was him I could feel the tears start to well up in my eyes again. 'It's okay baby' I heard and Joe was off the floor and sitting next to me so quickly. He engulfed me in a hug as the tears started to flood down my face again.'it's all my fault, I should have been a better teacher.' 'Baby you are a brilliant teacher there is nothing you could have done. Sometimes the wrong people get voted out and that's what happened this week' Joe replied. 'It's not fair' I said. 'I know it's not' he replied as I felt him place gentle kisses on my hair. The tears stopped after a couple of minutes but I stayed wrapped in his arms for a good ten minutes after. I slowly pulled myself out of his arms and used my sleeve to wipe my eyes. 'I must look a right mess right now' I said looking towards the ground. I felt Joe's hand on my chin as he gently tipped it up so he could look at my face 'you always look beautiful to me' he replied. I could feel a small smile come to my lips as he lent forward placing a kiss on my forehead. 'You may have been voted out tonight but remember that you are always my winner. I love you so much Dianne' he said. I could feel my heart swoon as he said this, he always managed to cheer me up. 'I love you too Joe so much.' 'Do you want to just sit here for a while and cuddle' Joe said. 'I would love to' I replied as I snuggled back into his arms. I felt so lucky to have him. I knew in that moment that no matter what happens I would always have Joe here for me.
