Female Celebrities Imagines Book 2

Diane Sherman x Reader

Okay this is kind of shit but I wanted to try something for Diane where she's not crazy. There's a brief mention of infant death and stillbirth. Please, please, please don't read if this triggers you. I don't care about how many people read my things so long as you're comfortable. I'll probably come back to edit this at some point but for now, enjoy.

Diane's POV

When I first met y/n when I moved in next door to y/n I never once thought that I would be sitting in her living room after having lunch with her. Actually when we first met I thought that she was... well in the nicest way possible I didn't think that she was someone I would ever find myself being friends with. She was cold, her eyes guarded and when we did talk she said maybe two or three words before she'd make some excuse to leave. After about a month of her doing this and the other neighbours telling me to give her time I'd had enough and confronted her about it, I saw her in her garden attending a small rose bush and completely lost it on her with her just standing there and taking it without so much as a flinch. That had worried me but I was so angry at the time that I didn't care, it wasn't until later on after I had calmed down did I take note of the empty quality in her eyes and had been quick to go round and apologise to her which had led to us becoming friends over the last year. "-ne, Diane? Hey, welcome back I thought that I was losing you to your own thoughts for a moment there." Y/n says as she sits beside me on the sofa with two cups of coffee and I quickly take mine from her with a kiss to her cheek making her chuckle. "What were you thinking so hard about?" She asks and I hesitate for a second before turning to look at her properly.

"I was thinking about the day I snapped at you and how we got to that point." I say and she nods with a sigh before taking a sip of her coffee. "I know that I've apologised a hundred times already for that day but-"

"Don't, don't do that. I completely deserved it and... you snapped me out of something that I had lost myself to Diane. I was so lost in my own hurt and heartbreak that I was isolating myself from everyone and everything without even realising it until you came over and lost it on me." She says and I nod in return because while she's explained that in the past she's never actually told me what it was and I've been reluctant to ask, not wanting to pry into something that had caused her so much pain in the first place.

"I still shouldn't have talked to you like that y/n." I tell her and she looks at me with a soft smile as she leans forward to put her cup of coffee on the table making me look at her confused only for her to turn to face me properly.

"I needed someone to and everyone else around here knew the circumstances and were treating me like I was a ticking time bomb ready to explode. You though, god Diane you had no idea and you told me how you honestly felt which is more than every single fucker out there had done." She tells me and I look at her shocked because this is the most she's ever opened up about whatever happened before I moved here. "Can... can I show you something and not have it change how you see me? How you act with me?" She asks after a moment of hesitancy and I nod making her smile as she gets up from the sofa and offers me her hand. Quickly putting my coffee on the table beside hers I take her hand and let her guide me upstairs to a room that has always been closed whenever I've come round. Feeling her hesitate I squeeze her hand softly making her look at me with a small but soft smile as she opens the door to reveal a nursery making my heart break for her as I understand what she was talking about downstairs.

"Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry." I say as I pull her into a hug and can feel her body shaking slightly as she cries quietly but I don't care. I just tighten my hold on her as I kiss the side of her head because I know what this pain feels like, I know how hard it is after losing your baby and suddenly everything makes sense. "This doesn't change anything y/n, I'm always going to be here and this won't change how I see you or act with you." I tell her as she slowly pulls back to look at me and I wipe away her tears with a small smile. "I know that you don't want to hear it, that it doesn't make the pain you feel now any less valid but I know from experience that it does get better with time. I lost my little girl fifteen years ago, Chloe was everything I ever hoped for and... when she died in my arms only hours after I gave birth to her it broke me." I admit and she looks at me with wide eyes before looking back into the nursery before dropping her head.

"I haven't been able to bring myself to open the door or go in since I delivered her. I came home, shut the door and pushed my husband who was hurting just as much as I was away until he left. He calls every now and then to check up on me now that the divorce is finalised and.. when he called a couple hours after you snapped at me I went on this rant, this long, horrible rant about how much of a bitch you had been and he sat there and listened to every word before bursting out laughing. It was the most I had spoken since we found out Isla was dead and I had to deliver her and he... he told me that it was about damn time someone that didn't know what was going on snapped at me because everyone else, him included, were too scared to face my reaction." She tells me and I chuckle slightly at that, watching as she absently walks into the room and sits on the rocking chair and follow her inside with a smile. "When you came to my door to apologise I could have kissed you because for the first time in... seven months I actually felt like a human being instead of just something floating about randomly. You broke my trance Diane and you have no idea how thankful I am for that." She says as she looks up at me and I smile at her as I walk over to the rocking chair and go to kneel in front of her but she pulls me down into her lap making us both chuckle slightly while my insides flutter at the move.

"I'm glad that me completely losing my shit on you helped you y/n, even if I did feel horrible for it afterwards." I tell her as I play with her hair and she looks at me for a moment before reaching up to push my hair out of my face, resting her hand on my cheek once she has. Biting my lip at how intimate this is y/n slowly pulls me down into her and there's no denying that I want this but I can't do this if it's just a way for her to make herself feel better.

"Stop thinking and kiss me already. This isn't a fleeting thing, this isn't a way to distract myself from the pain or show you that I'm thankful for what you've done and this most certainly isn't something I would do if I wasn't completely sure that I wanted." She tells me and that's all I need to hear before I crash my lips against hers, kissing her passionately as I shift in her lap so that I'm straddling her making us both moan as she responds to the kiss in kind. Groaning when she stands up with me held tight to her she carries me out of the nursery and down to her room and I break the kiss for air, moaning when she sits me down on the bed and I'm quick to pull her down with me as I fall back on the mattress.

"I hope you know that we are never going back from this right? I refuse to go back to how we were before now that I've finally kissed you." I tell her and she nods as we move onto the bed properly and I'm quick to pull her into my side making her chuckle as she looks up at me with soft eyes.

"I wouldn't have it any other way Diane." She says as she rests her head on my shoulder like she has many times in the past and I reach out to grab the tv controller from the bedside table, sticking a random movie on via Netflix as we cuddle together for the night.
