Joes POV

When the boys arrived, Dianne was in the kitchen making drinks. I helped them carry the McDonalds upstairs and set it out. I smiled, seeing Dianne walk in. Oli ans Byron took some glasses from her, handing the glasses of Pepsi round to everyone. Dianne took a seat on my lap, looking up at me and smiling innocent.
"Oooo chicken nugget." She smiled, opening one of the McDonald boxes and taking out a chicken nugget, nibbling on it quite happily. Oli laughed.
"Yeah, I know you well Dianne so I got you a box of twenty." He laughed, handing it to her. She got off my lap and hugged him before sitting back down on me, eating her chicken nuggets. Jack tried to steal one when she wasnt paying attention, but her face was adorable. She pulled a small pout with angry eyes, so he had to give it back. I chuckled, eating the fries quite happily while we all talked.
"You know Scarlett?"
"You mean Barbie?" Dianne asked, and Oli laughed.
"Still calling her that?"
"You did?" Conor asked, Dianne nodding.
"Yeah, you had your nickname too." She smirked and I smiled, holding her close.
"What was is?"
"Well if the girls were the barbie dolls, then you were the kendolls."
"Yeah Ill let you have that. We were dicks so..." Josh laughed and we all agreed. I watched as Mikey picked up my milkshake, handing it to Dianne.
"Sharing it caring." Mikey laughed as she drunk about half of it.

Diannes POV

"So what about Scarlett?" I heard Joe ask before he took the milkshake away from me.
"You can have some more in a minute." He said, drinking some.
"She said she was planning something to get 'Dianne out of the picture'. Im not sure what that means, but Dianne or Joe, if you see anything odd just know the other didnt mean it." Josh warned us. I smiled and nodded.
"That girl is a nasty piece of work." Joe huffed.
"Yeah I used to think the same about you." I giggled, kissing him before he could say anything else. He pulled me closer, smiling a little until I felt a chip being thrown at us. I looked over at Conor.
"I get enough of that with Jack bringing home girls randomly. No." He laughed.
"Shut up." I stuck my tongue out and he just continued to laugh.

Once we finally finished our McDonalds, we all sat on Joes bed to watch a film like normal. I made them all watch Mean girls. Surprisingly there was no fuss, and they did laugh at a lot of it.
"See, Regina was Joe, Gretchen was Caspar and Karen was the rest of you." I laughed, high fiving Oli as they gasped.
"Well at least Im the hot one." Joe laughed, kissing my cheek. I nodded.
"Cant argue with that." I smiled, puffing my cheeks out. He squished them and I blushed a little, leaning against his chest as we continued watching the film.

Joes POV

The film ended, and Dianne had fallen asleep on me. As I didnt want to wake her up, I carried her to the room she was staying in, tucking her in before walking back to my room.
"Game marathon?" Oli asked, throwing me a Xbox controller. I nodded, connecting it so we could play GTA. Everyone took it in turns, different people playing at the same time. I love Dianne. However it was nice to have some guy time. You always need some time to relax with your best mates.
"Hey guys, I found a pizza box from the other night." Oli gagged. I screwed up my nose, and it didnt take us long to blame Caspar. Poor kid, never gets a break when he hangs around with us. I chuckled, taking the box downstairs and throwing it out, not daring to look inside since the pizza wouldve had mold growing on it by now. I ran back upstairs, diving onto my bed and taking the remote from Byron, beginning to play with Oli.
"Get in the car!" I laughed as Oli's character got in. I began to drive away from the police, soon getting away.
"See I will always be the-" I was cut off by screaming down the hall. The boys all looked at me confused, however it didnt take long for it all to click. I ran dlwn the hall, the boys hot on my tail as we ran into Diannes room. I shook her awake, the frightened girl sitting up straight with tears streaming down her cheeks. I sat next to her, pulling her into my chest as the boys all sat down on the bed. Dianne sobbed into my shirt as I rubbed circles on her back.
"Hey, what happened?" I cooed, the aussie girl looking up at me.
"I-I dreamt of the crash...." she sniffled and I nodded.
"Its alright." I whispered, continuing to whisper sweet nothings to her. Right now, I didnt care if the boys called me a sap later on, I was only worrying about Dianne, and if she was okay or not. However the boys surprisingly helped comfort her, helped her calm her down. She smiled weakly as I continued to rub circles on her back.
"Wanna come stay in my room?" I asked and she nodded. I knew the boys wouls be fine with it, since when they normally stayed over they slept on the floor anyway. I picked her up, and she wrapped her legs round my waist. By the time it took to walk to my room, Dianne had already fallen asleep on me. I laid her down, laughing a little.
"Whats funny?" Caspar asked.
"My hoodie. Shes practically drowning in it." I chuckled, laying next to her as the boys set up their beds on the floor. They knew the drill by now. I wrapped my arms around Dianne, feeling her snuggle up to me.
"Night Joe."
"Night Casp." I whispered as I drifted off to sleep.

*The Next Morning*

Diannes POV

I woke up, my eyes soar from crying last night. Recently all I could think about was the crash that killed my mother. I sat up, realising all the boys were still asleep. I smiled, having an idea. I moved Joes arm which was still around my waist and slipped past the boys that were asleep on the floor. I walked down to the kitchen, seeing a note from Joes parents saying they would be out for the day. Also to not throw any parties. I giggled, leaving the note where it was, grabbing some milk, eggs and flour. I mixed the right measurements together, cooking up a large stack of pancakes. I cut up some fresh fruits before cooking some bacon, and once the smell of the bacon hit Joes room, thats when I could hear the footsteps running downstairs.
"Something looks good." Joe smiled as I put the last of the bacon onto a plate, putting the plates on the table.
"Thank you. I wanted to thank you guys for comforting me last night." I said softly, Caspar awwing at me.
"No problem red." He laughed, messing up my hair before they all sat down. Joe sat down next to me, and we all got our food. I giggled, watching Joe catch a blueberry in his mouth. He seemed so proud of himself, it was adorable. I smiled, finishing first surprisingly since I normally finished last. I began to wash things up, putting the radio on so the room wasnt practically silent. I smiled, slightlt dancing around. I smiled, looking over at my shoulder, seeing the boys watching me do small dances around.
I blushed a little, collecting their empty plates, washing them before putting them away. I smiled, Joe walking over, wrapping his arms round me.
"Youre adorable when you dance around." He laughed, making me blush deeply.
"Not that adorable." I pouted, but he just picked me up and span me around. I squealed, wrapping myself around him, blushing madly.
"Im sorry but theyre completely adorable." Mikey laughed and I nodded.
"Well obviously." I laughed, Joe nodding.
"Power couple." He added and I smiled.
"So, what we doing today?" I asked.
"Ice skating?" Caspar offeres.
"Sounds good to me."
"Well, lets go get ready." Joe laughed and we all ran upstairs.
