Chapter 11
Jojen sighed as he considered the things Myrcella had told him during the beach party. How she had told Trystane about them and how it seemed to help her. She was able to cope with the pressure of keeping their relationship secret by having someone she trusted as a confidant.
'I...maybe I should do the same. I've been hiding this inside me for a while now.' He reflected. 'It's been so hard, like I...I've been so overwhelmed by it.'
But that raised another issue for him. He needed to share this with someone he could trust, especially due to the suffering he felt from trying to keep things secret. The main issue being, just who to talk to. He bit his lip before suddenly standing up from his bed where he had been lying, trying to figure things out. It just struck him and it was so obvious that he couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it before.
'Meera.'
He smiled; if he could trust anyone, it was his sister. Now he just needed to find the right time to tell her. He knew she was down in the kitchen, studying for college, deciding to take a chance he decided that now was the time. He made his way out of the room and headed downstairs; he needed to do this, but he didn't want his parents overhearing yet, not until he was ready. He wasn't sure how they'd react to him and Myrcella.
Sure enough he found Meera at the kitchen table, deep in her books, eyes narrowed as she tried to concentrate.
"Um, Meera…?" He began, anxious. "I don't mean to interrupt, but…?"
Meera looked up and just smiled. Pushing her books to one side she shook her head.
"It's alright Jojen, always have time for my brother." She said warmly. "So, what's up?"
Sitting down Jojen sighed and shook his head. "I...I don't really know how to explain this. But I just, I don't want mum or dad to know yet, this is just between us."
Meera paused at that, noting her brother's nervousness and began to grow concerned.
"Jojen, are you sure this…?" She began.
He nodded. "I need to say it."
Pausing briefly he nodded. "I...I'm dating someone; but it's...well; we kinda don't want to be seen, mainly as we're not sure how our families will react."
"Okay..." Meera replied. "Who…?"
Feeling his face heat up Jojen replied. "Myrcella Baratheon."
Meera's eyes widened in surprise. "Myrcella...Wow, that's...I can see now why you're both nervous..."
To Jojen's surprise and relief, there was no judgement in Meera's eyes. Perhaps noticing this, she smiled.
"C'mon, it's obvious I'd understand Jojen..." She replied, before blushing. "I'm dating Bran remember, we're trying to keep our relationship secret."
Jojen nodded, smiling lightly; now it made sense. He was glad to have Meera's support.
It was roughly half an hour later, Jojen was on the phone to Myrcella.
"You told your sister?" She queried, surprised.
Jojen smiled. "Yeah, I...it's like you telling Trystane, someone I can trust...Meera's actually quite happy for us."
Myrcella grinned. "That's great; oh Jojen, I swear, this will get easier, we just need to hold on."
"I know, I know."
With that they both hung up, smiling; looking hopeful for the future.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
