Sansa Stark POV

I'm glad Arya told me she's pansexual. I kind of had a feeling she wasn't straight, and I'm glad she trusts me enough to tell me. I'm straight, but I would never come out if I wasn't. Especially not while still in high school. I have enough to deal with.

I'm in the locker room getting ready for cheer when Missandei walks in. "Hey," I say to her. She ignores me, which really isn't like her. She and Margaery start talking about something, and then Missandei walks out of the locker room.

"Why did she ignore me?" I ask Margaery.

"Myranda doesn't want her friends speaking to you," Margaery replies. "I think Myranda's a bitch, but she's close with Missandei so I guess she told her not to speak to you." That's really upsetting to me, I hate the idea of not being accepted or liked.

"How long do you think this will last?" I ask Margaery.

"I don't know," she responds. "But I would let it go. Myranda sucks, and Missandei will get over it." I don't respond to that. I feel like Margaery doesn't understand.

"Oh by the way," she continues. "I can't take you home from practice today. I have to pick my brother up from a theatre thing." I'm convinced that isn't the truth, she probably is just phasing me out of the group.

I'm too embarassed to text Jon and ask for a ride home after practice, plus I don't want to bother him. I'm walking down the hallway after practice, trying to figure out what to do when I pass by Mr. Baelish's room. He's in there grading papers. I debate going in, and I decide I should.

"Mr. Baelish?" I say as I walk in. He looks up at me.

"Hello, Sansa," he says. "What are you doing at school so late?"

"I had cheer. Can I come in?"

"Of course," he responds. I walk in and sit in front of his desk. "Was there something you wanted to talk about?"

"My friend was supposed to give me a ride home, but she cancelled," I say. "I'm worried she's mad at me."

"Why would she be mad at you?"

"Well," I'm nervous to tell him, but he seems like someone I can trust. "One of our friends has been saying some stuff about me that isn't true. She's with a guy I dated, so she doesn't like me."

There's a long pause, he just nods understandingly. "You know, Sansa," he says. "I think you should let all of that just blow by. I know that's easier said than done, but you have so much potential. If you're anything like your mother, I know you'll be something amazing one day."

"Thank you, Mr. Baelish," I say, starting to get up.

"Wait," he says. I stop and turn around. "I'm about to leave if you still need a ride home."

"Are you sure?" I ask him. "I wouldn't want to trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all," he says. "Let's go. I know where your parents live." We walk out to his car and head to my house. We don't talk about much on the way. I normally would never do something like this, but I feel like I can trust him because he was such a close friend of my mother's.

"Thank you," I say as we pull up.

"Sansa," he says as I'm getting out. I stop to look at him. "Think about what I said. I know you can get through this." I smile at him and walk into the house. Strangely enough, I do feel better. He gives good advice.

Daenerys Targaryen POV

I'm seeing Jon today for the first time in a bit. We're finally going on a real date again. I thought deferring my college acceptance meant I'd get to see my boyfriend more, but that isn't how things have been playing out. When he pulls up to my house, I'm already waiting outside. He gets out of the car and gives me a hug.

"Jon!" I say, running into his arms. "I missed you!"

"I missed you more," he says, kissing my cheek and then my lips. We get into the car and head to a nearby lunch place.

Jon orders a roast beef sandwich and I order a soup with bread. "How's school?" I ask as we're waiting for our food.

"It's going well," he responds. "I've been enjoying rock climbing."

"How are Sam and Gilly?"

"I think they're okay," he responds. "I can't figure Gilly out, and it seems like Sam can't either. I just hope they stay together, she makes him really happy." Our food arrives and we start eating.

"I helped Ygritte drive the other day," Jon says after a pause. "She drove my car home from rock climbing practice."

"Why?" I ask.

"She just got her license and has been wanting more practice. Tormund is really protective over his car and is usually trying to talk to Coach Tarth after practice." Of course he is. I don't know how to respond, the idea of him hanging out one on one with his ex makes me uncomfortable.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" I ask him.

"What?"

"Do you think it's a good idea for you and Ygritte to be hanging out alone?"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"Because she's your ex girlfriend," I respond. "And I feel like she might still have feelings for you."

"She doesn't," he says. "And we want to be friends again."

"Jon, it kind of makes me uncomfortable that you're hanging out with her just the two of you. I get it if you all are in a group, but I would appreciate it if you avoided one on one situations with her."

"Do you not trust me?"

"Of course I do," I say. "It just makes me uncomfortable." The check comes and I pay for the meal since I have more money on me. We walk to the car and get in.

"I feel like you should be able to trust me," Jon says as we're driving back to my place. "I'm never going to cheat on you."

"It's not you I'm worried about," I respond. "It's her." We pull up to my house. He was supposed to come over and hang out for a bit since my dad is gone and we haven't had sex in a while.

"Dany, I don't need you to police who I hang out with. Even if she wanted to, I wouldn't do anything with her."

"Don't you understand it's not about my trust for you?"

"Then why are you on me about it?" There's a pause of silence.

"I have some chores I have to do at home," I say. "See you soon." I get out of the car and walk inside. Jon just drives off. I go and sit on my bed, I'm starting to cry. I give Cersei a call.

"Yeah?" I hear her say when she answers, it sounds like she might have been sleeping.

"Did I wake you up?" I ask her.

"No, why?" Oh, I can tell she's drunk, not groggy.

"Cersei, are you drunk?"

"What? No!" She immediately hiccups after saying that.

"Cersei, it's like 2 p.m."

"I went to brunch," she says. "Did you need something or were you just calling to parent me?"

I sigh, exasperated. I could really use her advice right now. "Jon's been hanging out with his ex one on one," I say. "I don't trust her."

"So dump him."

"What?" I'm shocked at that response. "Cersei, no. I love him."

"Has he said that to you?"

"No," I respond. "But I feel like it's coming soon."

Cersei scoffs. "Whatever," she says. "Do what you want, but I can tell where his head is. I'm going to bed." She hangs up. She was definitely not in the right state of mind to be giving me advice, but maybe she has a point. Maybe Jon isn't in the right headspace for a serious adult relationship.

Jon Snow Stark POV

I really didn't think Dany would be mad at me about Ygritte, especially since nothing happened. I would have told her before if I knew it would be a big deal. I give Sam a call after I get home from lunch with Dany.

"Hello?" I hear him say on the other end.

"Hey man," I say. "Do you want to come over and do something?"

"Sure, but I have to leave by 9:30 so I can pick Gilly up from work at 10."

"Okay, see you soon."

He gets to my house and we go up to my room. "Is everything okay?" He asks me.

"I got into a fight with Dany," I say, sitting on my bed. "I told her I was hanging out with Ygritte and she got upset."

"See? I told you that would happen."

"I know, Sam. I just don't know what to do."

"What do you mean?" He asks me.

"Well, what do you do when you and Gilly have a fight?"

"Usually she cries and apologizes," he says. "Or she cries and I apologize. It depends on who's in the wrong?"

"Do you think I should apologize?" I ask.

"Probably," he responds. "Gendry and I were right that it would upset her, so I would." I think he's right. I'm not going to stop hanging out with who I want to hang out with, but I'll definitely be more upfront with Dany from now on.

After Sam leaves, I send Dany a text. *Sorry about today. I'll definitely be more upfront and honest with you next time. I didn't think it would upset you that much.*

Ding. *Thank you, I appreciate that.* She responds.

*3*. There's no response after I send the heart, I hope she and I are okay.
