I'll Be Thinking of You

Meena took a deep breath as she stepped into Neymar’s house, they had just dropped her sister off back with her parents and she hadn’t said anything to her boyfriend since her reveal.

Neymar stared at Meena, he hated that something like that had happened to her and he wished that he had been there to protect her; he could understand why she had left Lisbon like she had.

“I’m going to bed,” Meena said softly, she couldn’t bring herself to look at Neymar; she hadn’t wanted him to find out that way about what had happened, she doubted he would want her now.

Neymar watched as Meena hurried upstairs to her new room, he groaned wishing that he had something to say to her; he was still in shock about her reveal.

Neymar truly hadn’t expected things to take that turn and he knew that Aranea hadn’t either; he was glad that the younger Lima sister finally understood why her sister had left.

Shaking his head, Neymar walked towards the kitchen to make himself a drink in an attempt to clear his head; he had so many questions but he didn’t want to upset Meena by asking them.

Neymar groaned, he wished that he could talk to someone about all of this but no one knew that he was dating Meena; it was only asking for trouble.

Neymar closed his eyes, he hated the person that had raped Meena and he hoped they were rotting in prison for what they had done to her; he couldn’t believe that Meena had been through that.

Neymar took a deep breath to calm himself, he couldn’t lose his temper right now and he needed to speak to Meena to make sure that she was okay.

Meena looked up as she heard Neymar enter her bedroom, she swallowed looking down quickly hoping that he had come to break up with her; she took a deep breath preparing for him to do so.

“I’m sorry,” Neymar whispered watching his girlfriend, they hadn’t been together a week and now they were having this talk; he didn’t know what to think about what he now knew.

Meena looked at Neymar, she was dressed in her cream viscose pyjama vest and black viscose turn-over bottoms; she wanted to relax a little after what had happened.

“Could you tell me about what happened?” Neymar asked nervously, he didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable but he wanted her to talk to him; it would be good for the two of them.

Meena stared at Neymar for a moment before she nodded her head, she watched as he came to sit beside her; she was okay to talk about it and she knew he was only curious.

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to,” Neymar said fearing that he would upset his girlfriend, this couldn’t be easy and he could see that it had changed Meena’s life.

Neymar wanted to make sure that she had justice for what had happened to her, he hated the man that had done this and he wanted him to suffer.

“It’s okay…” Meena said trying to reassure Neymar, she didn’t mind telling him especially since it was the reason that she was going back to Lisbon; he deserved the truth about that as well.

“It was six years ago…” Meena said trying to sort through her mind, she had only spoken about this to her mother, a police officer and a therapist.

Neymar nodded his head, he gently took Meena’s hand hoping to make this easier for her; he was curious and he didn’t want to upset her in anyway by talking about what had happened to her.

It had taken her time but she knew that it was Miguel who was at fault for what had happened and she would never forgive him.

“He offered me a drink at the party and I took it… he was one of my best friends, I had no reason not to trust him,” Meena said looking at Neymar, she could see so many emotions in his eyes and she knew that this was only the beginning.
