A year ago if you ever told me that I would get blackmailed by Roger I would tell you to fuck off..
How could he possibly do this? Brian is his best friend, he would never do anything to ruin their friendship..
"Diane can you come to my office for a moment?" Mr. Waltham said
I sighed and I walked to his office
"Have a seat.." he said and pointed at the chair
I sat down "Is everything okay sir?" I asked
"No, that's why I wanted to talk to you.. you see, I have nothing against you and you do an excellent work but.." he said
"But?" I asked
"The business is not going well lately and I can't keep running the store anymore.." he said
"Are you saying that you're firing me?" I asked and tried to stay calm
"I'm closing the store..so I'm so sorry to say that I have to let you go.." he said
Based on his body language he really was really sad that he had to close the store and fire me.
"That's okay sir..I understand.." I said
"If someone will buy this place then I'll make sure they get you back." He said
"Thank you..I really appreciate that.." I said
"You can go home if you want to.." he said
I slowly got up..my boss gave me a hug, I didn't know how to handle this.
I didn't want to go home..I didn't want Brian's parents to see me like this, I didn't want Brian to see me like this either..so I went to the first place I could think.
I drove to my father's house. I knocked on the door a couple of times until he opened the door
"Hi sweetheart!" He smiled at me
I looked up at him and quickly put my arms around him and I started crying
"What's wrong?" He asked and hugged me back
"I just lost my job.." I said
"How did that happen?" He asked
"My boss is closing the store.." I said
"Diane look at me" he placed his hands on my face and looked at me "you're still 20, you will find another job, your life is not over because you lost your job, you have a family now and I will help you find a job if you want to" he said
I wiped my tears "you're right.." I said
"Everything is going to be okay" he said
I just nodded.
"Brian just picked up the girls, you can stay here for as long as you need to calm down and then go to your family" he said
"But his parents are in town..I don't want them to see me like this!" I said
"Sweetie.. you think these people never had a bad day in their life? If you think that well you're wrong..and I bet that their company will make you feel better" he said
I sat at my father's house for half an hour and I made my way back to the house
*Brian's POV*
"Yes I understand thank you for letting me know" I said to Diane's father and I hang up
I walked back to the living room
"Is everything okay Brian?" My mom asked
"Yes mom!" I said
I heard keys on the door and I saw Diane walking in the house
My parents immediately got up and walked to her
*Diane's POV*
As soon as I walked in I saw Brian's parents walking towards me. I tried to smile, his mother hugged me tight
"It's nice to see you again darling" she smiled
"It's nice to see you too" I said
I looked at Brian's dad giving me a serious look. I noticed that Brian got his looks from him
I didn't know what to do and I was honestly a little freaked out because I thought he would hate me
His lips formed the biggest smile ever as he pulled me into a hug
"I'm so happy that I finally got to meet you Diane!" He said
"The feeling is mutual Mr May!" I said
Where did that smart talk came from? Did I just try to impress his parents?
Brian walked next to me and put his arm around my waist, I looked up at him and I smiled
"Oops, I almost forgot! I have a present for you and the girls" Brian's mom said
I already knew what it was but I didn't want to ruin the surprise
"I'll go bring the girls" I said
I excused myself and walked to their room and brought them back to the living room
When Brian saw me he quickly got up and grabbed Erica from my arm. We sat on the couch and waited for the big surprise
Mrs May walked in the room holding a baby kitten. Nicole put her hands up and tried to reach the kitten while Erica was not amused at all, she preferred the cat we already had. Brian started petting it almost immediately.
A feeling of happiness took over and took the place of the sadness I had before. I got up and hugged his parents
"Thank you so much" I said
"I think you had something to do with this" Brian said and looked at me
"Does it matter?" I said
"No" he smiled
Out of nowhere both Erica and Nicole started crying
"They must be hungry, I'll handle it" I said and picked them up and walked to their room. I left the door half open and I could hear Brian and his parents talking
*Brian's POV*
"And how old is she?" My dad asked
"She will turn 21 in a couple of months" I said
"She's so mature for her age!" My mom said "Don't screw this up!" She gave me a serious look
"Watch your language darling" my dad said to her "But she's right, don't screw this up!" He said
"I won't screw this up, I really love her!" I said
*Diane's POV*
I heard everything they said and I sighed at what Brian said. I'm still not over what happened.
The minute the girls fell asleep I felt really sick. Without hesitation I run to the bathroom and threw up
"Is everything okay love?" I heard Brian asking from downstairs
"Yes.." I said
I brushed my teeth and washed my face and went back to the living room
After two hours Brian's parents had to go. We said our goodbyes and they left.
"I'm going to go lay down.." I said
"I'll go check on the girls" he said
I nodded and I started walking up the stairs
"Diane?" Brian said
I turned around and looked at him
"Is there something you want to tell me?" He asked
"Nothing that matters" I said "my father told you didn't he?" I asked
"Yes he did.. I'm sorry.." he said
"It's okay!" I walked back to him and I kissed his cheek
I walked up the stairs and Brian run behind me. He grabbed me and kissed me
"I love you" he said
"I love you too" I said
He bit his lip and kept looking at me
"What?" I asked
He picked me up and carried me in the bedroom and kicked the door shut behind him...
*Roger's POV*
"Did you hear the good news? Brian and Diane are back together" Freddie said
"No one cares!" I said
"Umm, you care Rog!" John said
I threw my drumstick right at them "Shut up!" I said
"Sorry.." John said "But it's true, you care, you thought they would break up!" He said
"You don't know anything!" I got up and left from the studio
*Diane's POV*
I heard the girls crying from the other room
I placed the sheet around me and Brian stopped me from getting up
"I'll take care of them!" He said and he got up
"Don't you forget something?" I asked
"What?" He asked
I giggled and pointed at his clothes on the floor
He quickly got dressed and run to check on the girls
I closed my eyes and I ended up falling asleep
