Chapter 11
Joffrey glared when he saw his sister; unable to believe she was here about to betray him.
'She said she wouldn't say anything if I didn't spy on her, or family. A bastard isn't family.' He thought angrily. "Cella, don't you…"
"Shut up Joffrey." She snapped. "I warned you."
Cersei was looking at all three of her children, noting their expressions and was suddenly uncertain.
"What is going on?" She asked; worried.
She could feel the steely gaze of the Principal also watching them. Edric was focused on Joy who was still crying, Tyrion doing his best to help her too. Joffrey opened his mouth, but Tommen cut him off, speaking quickly and angrily.
"Joffrey isn't the victim here; Joy is." He said, only just keeping himself from yelling. "We found Joffrey attacking her, he was trying to rape her. Edric was just defending her, it ended up in a struggle and that's how Joffrey's nose got broken. Edric said he was sorry, but I don't think he should be."
Cersei gasped. "Tommen this is…"
Myrcella then made her reveal. "I'm sure Tommen is right mum, not only that, I'm sure you'll be interested to know Joffrey hid a webcam in my room, to spy on me getting dressed."
"You lie, they're lying mum!" Joffrey yelled.
But Cersei could see the violated look on her daughter's face and knew that wasn't true, she was telling the truth, and so too was Tommen.
She couldn't believe it, to think of her son, her eldest son doing such things; an overwhelming feeling of anger and disgust overcame her as she turned to Joffrey. He shook his head.
"Mum, I…"
She snarled. "Silence Joffrey, how dare you, this isn't how I raised you. How could you do such a thing to Joy, and on top of that, to spy on your own sister?"
She then took hold of Joffrey's arm and stood him up before turning to the Principal.
"I apologize for this, I assure you, I will handle my son." She said seriously. "Don't worry about punishing him, I'll see to it. Don't be too sure about him returning either."
The Principal nodded and Joffrey shook his head in disbelief and fear. Cersei then turned to Tyrion and her expression softened.
"Tyrion, could you watch Myrcella and Tommen tonight?"
Tyrion seemed rather surprised but nodded. "Of course; I…I think I should take Joy home now."
The Principal nodded. "Please do, as for the rest of you, please return to class."
Joy wiped her eyes, feeling calmer; she was surprised at what had been admitted but was relieved that Myrcella seemed okay. She followed Tyrion out to the car; still deeply shaken but relieved that things seemed to be getting resolved.
At home, Joy's attempts to keep it together crumbled. She made it as far as the living room, where Shae was waiting before she burst into tears. Shae immediately hugged her.
"Oh Joy, thank the Gods you're alright." She said softly. "I was so worried when Tyrion got the call."
Tyrion nodded gently. "It's okay Joy, you're safe now, just take your time. I know you've had a bad scare."
Joy nodded and let out a shaky gasp. "I know, I know…Gods, I can't believe he…"
Tyrion sighed.
"We all knew Joffrey was a twisted soul, but even I never imagined he'd be that bad." He remarked.
Joy choked out a sob. "Myrcella…?"
Tyrion glared. "Yes, that especially."
Shae looked confused, then sickened when Tyrion explained what Myrcella had revealed about Joffrey. However, understanding that Myrcella would be around staying with them later, along with Tommen, Shae focused on helping Tyrion in calming Joy down.
Later Joy felt calmer, she had changed her clothes, now wearing a pink T-shirt, skinny jeans and white flats. Finally, at that moment, Myrcella, Tommen, Podrick and Edric all arrived. Joy was relieved to see them all; they all rushed to her, hugging her and clearly worried.
She did her best to reassure them she was okay and gave them all time to get changed and relaxed.
Later Joy smiled as she sat with her friends; they were all happy to see she was looking calmer and she was relieved especially to see Myrcella seemed well enough. They had all changed clothes, getting more comfortable. Myrcella was clad in grey jeans, a white T-shirt, white ankle socks and black baskets. Tommen wore a yellow T-shirt, denim jeans and black socks and white baskets.
Edric wore a blue polo shirt, black jeans, black socks and black shoes. Podrick was clad in dark jeans, a brown T-shirt and brown shoes. As they spent time talking, Myrcella smiled as an idea came to her.
"Say, if the boys don't mind, what do you think about this Joy? How about I call the other girls and invite them around for a sleepover, perhaps they can help too." She asked.
Joy grinned. "That sounds like a great idea."
The boys all smiled and nodded, indicating they didn't mind and Myrcella went to make her calls. As she made the calls Joy turned to Tommen.
"Is, is Myrcella really okay, I mean, what Joffrey did to her too…" She asked worriedly.
Tommen smiled. "She seems alright, apart from being disgusted I think she's alright."
Joy smiled, relieved to hear that. They soon got settled in and waited for the other girls to arrive.
It wasn't long afterwards that three of the four other girls in their group arrived. They were all dressed casually too, Shireen in a black knee length skirt, white blouse and black flats. Sansa was wearing a white skirt, two and a half inches above the knee, a blue tank-top and white flats. Finally Margaery was clad in a green T-shirt with deep V-neck which showed a little cleavage, a black mini skirt and black flats. Joy couldn't help but smile, feeling envious once more about how confident in herself Margaery was.
"Hey Joy, are you alright?" She asked carefully.
Joy smiled. "I'm fine Margaery, I'm alright now, it's good to see you all."
They all smiled before Sansa spoke. "Arya says sorry, she already had plans made with Gendry and they were already out when Myrcella called."
"It's fine; really." Joy replied with a smile.
Joy couldn't help but smile, happy to have such perfect friends and relatives, all looking out for her. They all spent their time talking and watching TV until it was late at night. Edric was about to leave, he smiled at Joy who stood, clad in a light pink knee length nightgown with elbow length sleeves.
"I'll, I'll call you tomorrow." Joy said with a smile. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Joy, I'm glad you're alright." He replied before they kissed.
Joy stood and watched as Edric left.
Joy smiled and made her way to her room, she spotted Pod and Tommen getting ready to go to bed too. They were both clad in their sleepwear, Tommen in light blue pyjama trousers and a similar pyjama top. Podrick in grey pyjama shorts and a white pyjama T-shirt. She smiled and said goodnight to them before joining the other girls in her room.
They were already clad in their sleepwear; Myrcella in violet pyjama trousers and a light blue pyjama top. Shireen wore a white ankle length sleeveless nightgown and Sansa wore red mid-thigh pyjama shorts and an orange pyjama top. Margaery meanwhile wore blue mid-thigh pyjama shorts and a white sleeveless pyjama top with a teddy bear face on the chest and showing a little of her stomach.
Joy smiled and thanked the girls once more for coming. They all smiled and spent some time talking together before finally going to sleep.
