The Legacies

Ch.11: My Brother is a Cheater

RJ's POV:

I was walking to the Zeus cabin to talk to Meredith about her brother. I knocked on the door and heard Meredith say come in. I walked in to find Meredith digging through her closet.

"Hey, Mere," I say plopping down on her bed.

"Hey RJ. What's up?" she asks.

"I think we need to talk about your brother and Ellie," I say lowering my voice. Her head popped out of the closet. Then, she walked over and sat on the bed next to me.

"Ooooo, did you snoop? Tell me everything!" She says like an Aphrodite girl getting ready to have a gossip sesh.

"Mere, it's not good news," I say looking at the floor.

"What do you mean?" She asks confused.

"Well, before I tell you, you should know Ellie already found out. They broke up," I say looking at Meredith who looked concerned now. "Tristan was cheating on Ellie with this girl Natalie. Natalie didn't know that Ellie was even dating Tristan. Ellie caught them kissing and dumped him...and did a few other things..." I say trying to resist the urge to laugh. Meredith's jaw dropped.

"My brother, a cheater. i can't believe it," She mutters shaking her head.

"Ya, neither could I," I say. "I mean I don't think he meant to hurt either of them. He's new at all this girl business. Two girls liked him and he didn't have the guts to turn one down. It started because he was trying to be nice."

"Well, I'll check on Ellie later. Right now I need a boys opinion on clothes," she laughs. My face became full of fear.

"No, no don't take me near the closet." I said whining.

"Too late!" She says dragging me to her huge walk-in closet.

"Why do you want a guys opinion?" I ask.

"Because I'm going on a date," She says calmly.

"With who? Charlie is on a quest." I say smirking. She doesn't smile.

"Umm, His name is Alex," She says biting her lip.

"Well, does Charlie knowing your going on a date?" I ask.

"He doesn't know I'm going on a second one," She says.

"A second one! I didn't now you were dating." I say.

"I'm not. I'm going on a date with my boyfriend. There's a difference," She says showing me her dress. I nod my head yes and she goes to get changed.

"When did you get a boyfriend?" I ask.

"A few days ago," She says nonchalantly.

"Thanks for the update." I say sarcastically.

"Thanks for updating me my friend is going through break up," She says sarcastically.

"Touché." I answer. "Wait, does Charlie know you have a...boyfriend?"

"Wellllllllllllllllllll."

"He doesn't does he?" I ask knowing the answer.

"Not really.... but I don't want to hurt him! And what's the big deal? Why do I have to tell him?" She asks me.

"So when he comes home he doesn't ask you out right away."

"I don't want to friend zone Charlie," She answers. "Besides, who knows how long Alex and I will even be together. It's best he never finds out."

"Ok fine whatever. Alright Mere I'll catch you later. I'm going to go to the sword arena," I say standing up.
