Chapter 29

The sound of music already filled the air just as those attending the school dance for Royal Rivers Academy actually started approaching the hall where it was being held. Smiling lightly, Jamie looked around, actually amazed he was here.

"I never imagined..."

Meera laughed and playfully nudged him. "Hey now, positive thoughts remember."

He grinned, once again struck by her. She was clad in a dark blue knee length dress that was also backless, despite how it looked her legs were actually covered, in skin coloured tights and to finish the outfit a pair of dark blue heels.

She looked stunning, her hair down and straight. Jamie actually felt like he was scruffy next to her, even though he was dressed up well in a grey suit with black shirt and silver tie; simple black socks and polished shoes.

"You look, stunning." He said breathlessly. "I...sorry, I've already told you that, haven't I?"

She laughed. "Yes, but I don't mind."

Grinning Jamie felt himself begin to relax, joining the crowd inside the dance hall; despite her nervousness, he was actually already starting to enjoy himself.

"C'mon, over here." Meera said, catching his attention.

Still holdings hands he followed her through the crowded hall; doing his best to push his discomfort of the crowd aside.

He smiled when he saw why Meera was leading him this way, for standing there, chatting away happily together, were Bran and Jojen; also holding hands and looking happier than they had been ever since that terrible incident where Jojen had been attacked. They weren't alone either, Tommen stood chatting with them.

They'd all dressed up well, Bran and Jojen actually seemed to mirrored each other's outfits. Bran was in a dark blue suit with a matching tie, his shirt socks and shoes were black. Jojen meanwhile had a dark blue shirt, while everything else was black, sort of opposite of Bran's colours.

Tommen meanwhile wore a smart black tux with the same colour socks and shoes, a salmon pink shirt and silver tie.

"Hey guys." Meera greeted.

Jamie smiled and added his own greetings. "Hi there."

They all turned and grinned. Tommen speaking up at once. "Hey, it's good to see you."

"So, what's up?" Jamie queried.

Tommen glanced at Bran and Jojen before explaining. "I was just, asking Jojen, how he was."

Jojen grinned. "Yeah, and like I said, I'm better than ever, now those creeps are behind bars."

Bran laughed at that and kissed Jojen's cheek. Still smiling they went their separate ways, Tommen heading off to find the rest of his family; Bran and Jojen planned on getting some snacks. Meera meanwhile convinced Jamie to join her on the dance floor.

"Hope you don't mind." He remarked. "I'm a rubbish dancer."

Meera shrugged. "It'll be fine, c'mon, just follow my lead."

Nodding he did so and they danced together, smiling; happy. All the same, Jamie could shake his concerns about Meera, about her strange behaviour, as well as the strange messages he had been receiving.

He decided to try and approach the situation delicately.

"Meera, I...I was wondering, are you okay?" He asked awkwardly.

She blinked; then smiled. "Jamie, I'm the happiest I've ever been, I'm at prom, with my awesome boyfriend."

He blushed a little at that. "Um, thanks. That's not what I meant though. In school, ever since you...changed your uniform, you've been acting...differently. I mean, you seem to be, nervous whenever your phone rings and I've seen you...looking worried."

"Oh, that..." She replied; biting her lip. "I've been meaning to tell you, I just...didn't know how."

"Tell me what?"

Meera sighed. "Before, you even came here...I was seeing someone; someone I didn't realize; who they really were...Ramsay Bolton."

Jamie paused for a moment. "Um, I don't…"

"Count yourself lucky, he's a monster...I, I got away in time, made it clear, I wasn't wanting anything else to do with him...Filing for a restraining order too." She explained. "But, he won't leave me alone; ever since that day, he's been harassing me non-stop, threatening texts, I just...I wish I could do something, he's just ignoring the restraining order."

"Meera, I..." Jamie whispered shocked.

He couldn't believe it; that someone had hurt her, that she had been in an abusive relationship and was now still being harassed by that man. Unsure what to say or do, he simply held her close. Yet for Meera, that was enough. She could forget her troubles and feel loved, simply being in his embrace.


Grinning to themselves as they stood together at the edge of the dance floor, Brian and Sansa observed Meera and Jamie as they danced together. Brian was still in awe at Sansa, looked very elegant, clad in her silver ankle length dress, which featured a slit up the right hand side of the skirt which stopped at the top of her thigh and matching grey heels.

She also wore a pearl necklace, wolf head shaped earrings and her make-up was light, serving simply to enhance the beauty she already possessed.

Brian meanwhile wore smart khaki pants, a white neat polo shirt, black socks and black dress shoes, his hair was neat and Sansa had practically lit up when they met to go to the dance.

"They look so happy together." Sansa commented as she watched Jamie and Meera.

Nodding Brian smiled. "Yeah, finding each other, was probably the best thing that ever happened to them...Could say the same about us."

She laughed at that. "Yeah, well, we wanted to go public at the dance...make it official that we're a couple."

"Yeah, and this is our best chance...May I have this dance, my lady?" Brian replied with a coy grin.

Sansa smirked at that. "Why of course, kind sir."

Both laughing at their words, they headed out to the dance floor, already heads turned and whispers started.

Once out on the dance floor and in position they immediately started to dance together. Feeling the eyes upon them, hearing the whispers they both grinned and simply continued doing so, more than happy for people to see them. The more people saw them together the better, would save on explanations later.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

They both rolled their eyes and turned to see Joffrey standing there, glowering at them. His black tux, socks and shoes were standard enough, but his burnt orange shirt and tie seemed a poor choice, when his face was flushed red with anger.

"You have no right to steal..."

"I didn't steal anything, Sansa broke up with you." Brian shot back, speaking slowly, as if Joffrey had difficulty understand words.

Joffrey stepped forwards. "You; Sansa is mine and..."

"I can speak for myself." Sansa snapped. "Joffrey, you're not ruining this night for me; so just leave...now. I am trying to enjoy a dance with my boyfriend."

Snarling Joffrey stormed away and Brian grinned at her.

"Nice one."

She just smiled back and, as they continued to dance together, she leaned in closer and, in full view of their onlookers, and Joffrey, they kissed.


Meanwhile, still looking around at their surroundings, amazed to actually be here, were Marina and Lancel. Marina was wearing the dress she had seen and Lancel convinced her to buy.

The above the knee length one shoulder strap dress with it's black skirt, the bodice was white with rose patterns, and the sleeves circled her arms; she also wore a pair of black flats. While not really one for make-up she made some small concessions, with a coat of clear lip gloss and some simple black mascara.

"I can't believe you made me go to a prom." Marina jokingly told Lancel

"I can't believe you agreed to go to a prom with me." He replied, smiling

He looked at her still amazed by her outfit.

"You look beautiful." He told her, eyes aglow with adoration

Coming from him, she could believe it. Lancel actually felt under-dressed compared to Marina; even though she told him he looked great, in his dark red jacket, white shirt, black trousers, tie and shoes. She meant it too.

As they made their way through the crowd they grinned as they came across Myrcella and Margaery together. Myrcella in a pink sleeveless above the knee dress with gold heels, Margaery in a long flowy blue dress and blue hi-heels. Both girls were talking happily, occasionally sneaking kisses.

Going over to greet them, Lancel and Marina grinned, both overjoyed at the fact they were actually here, with each other.
