Her eyes shifted to the side again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As she blinked , they dripped from her eyelids and slid down her cheeks. She bit her lip tightly in attempt to hide any sound that wanted escape from her mouth. His heart sunk  to see her in such pain .  He wanted to take it all away , but all he could do was hold her precious body in his arms .

She would describe her sadness like death by a thousand paper cuts , for all the memories of the people closest to her slowly drifting away or the times her friends betrayed her , it was another cut to her already damaged mind . None were strong enough to kill her but over time each cut added misery and pain to her life. In this sadness there is no past or future , just living by the moment, but each moment was followed by a wave of tears. Each memory was like a gun and each hit her like a bullet. The only thing she had at this moment in time was him. The one who betrayed her but she learnt to forgive him.

Joe's POV
My arms were tightly wrapped around her broken body as we both sat on the sofa. Each salty tear soaking my top but I didn't mind as my best friend was upset. Each sob that left her mouth shattered my heart even more . Seeing her in pain was like torture but all I could do was comfort her .

Dianne's POV
All I wanted was the world to swallow me up . The only person in my life right now was joe . As I cried into his shoulder a thought rushed its way into my thoughts. I think I've been hiding my feelings for joe. His ocean blue eyes and his sweet personality were the only thing making me happy and keeping me sane . When he calls me Di butterflies erupt in my tummy. I guess I've just pushed these feelings to the side as I had a boyfriend. Maybe I was only dating Tom to forget my feelings towards joe. But I can't tell him as he would never like me .....
