Joe and Dianne: Oneshots

Leg pain

Joe's POV

This week had been a hard week. The paso Doble hadn't come easy to me but after a lot of hard work on Dianne's part we finally had the dance at a place we where both happy with. We where currently in Claudia's area waiting for our turn to get on the dance floor. We had two more couples and then it would be us. One more couple went and then we had to make our way over to where they introduced us before our VT. We waited until the couple before us had completed their dance and where then told to make our way down onto the dance floor. We got into our starting positions as out VT got towards the end. Then our names where called and what dance we where doing and then the music started. As always I felt the adrenaline spread through my body as the crowd cheered for us. We performed our dance and I made one little mistake by getting up on the wrong knee but except for that I think it went quiet well.

Dianne's POV

I know that Joe hadn't found this dance easy this week but I knew that he now loved it. We had gone over the routine so many times just to make sure it stuck in his brain. We where called down onto the dance floor and then it was our turn to dance. The dance was going well and Joe looked so strong in it. We where getting to the end of the dance when I felt a twinge in my upper thigh. I kept going knowing we only had a few beats left until the routine was completed. Joe skidded me through his legs and then I put my hand up for the finishing position. I looked over at Joe and could see that he had a smile on his face. He was clearly happy with how that had gone. He walked over to me and helped me to stand up and that's when I felt the strain in my upper thigh. I tried to walked as normally as I could over to the judges. As we where listening to the judges I lent on my good leg and tried to keep a smile plastered on my face. I didn't want to worry anyone especially not Joe. We got all the comments and then made our way up to Claudia's area. By the time we got up there I could really feel the tightness in my thigh. I lent against Joe so I wont have to put to much weight on it as we waited for the scores. The minute we got our score I hobbled off so I could go and see the physio.

Joe's POV

As soon as I helped Dianne up after the dance I could tell something was up with her. She didn't seem to be walking properly and I could tell the smile on her face was completely fake. I decided that the minute we where alone I would have to ask her what was wrong but for now I made my way over to the judges. We got our comments but I couldn't stop worrying about Dianne. I held Dianne's hand as we made our way up to Claudia's area and as soon as we got up there she started to lean on me. Something was definitely wrong with her. Once we had got our scores we made our way backstage and that's when I noticed that she was hobbling. I quickly made by way after her and stopped her in the corridor. 'Are you okay' I asked. She turned to look at me and I could tell she had plastered that fake smile on her face again. 'I'm fine' she said before she continued to hobble down the corridor. I quickly followed her placing by hand on her shoulder to make her stop. I turned her around so she was facing me and said 'why are you lying to me, I can see that your in pain and your hobbling.' She lifted her face up to look at me and said 'your right I'm sorry for lying to you.' 'What's wrong' I asked her as I lifted my hand so I could gently stroke her cheek. 'The top of my leg had gone very tight. I don't know if I've pulled something or its just a strain so I'm gonna go and see the physio.' 'Okay I'll come with you' I said.

Dianne's POV

I hobbled down to physio using Joe to lean on as I did. I sat down on the sofa and the physio came over to me to check out my leg. I looked over at Joe who was sitting on a different sofa and looked really worried. I really wanted him over here with me but I knew we had to keep it professional as no one knew that we where together. After a full massage of my leg me and Joe made our way back to his dressing room. He sat down on the sofa opening his arms to me as I came and snuggled next to him. 'How does your leg feel' he asked. 'Better' I replied 'it just aches now.' I felt a gently kiss being placed on the side of my head and I turned to look at Joe. 'Good' he replied 'just make sure you tell me if you are every hurt. I just want to make sure you are alright.' 'I know you do I'm sorry for not telling you.' 'It's okay I Love you' he said. I smiled up at him and said 'I love you too' as I snuggled back into his arms.
