"Jon, Jon are you there?" Lauryn's voice was higher pitched than usual and panicky.

"Lauryn?" Jon asked, the static from the speakers interfering with the reception on his phone. "Lauryn, I need you to speak really clearly because I can't hear you over the music."

"Jon, can you go somewhere quiet? I really don't want to have to yell this down the phone to you." She asked and Jon heard a light ding in the background as she called for the elevator.

"Lauryn, what's happened?" He asked as he pushed his way through the crowd to get to the door.

"Hey Jon." Myrcella said as she bounced up to him. "So what are you doing after this?"

"Hang on one second Lauryn."

"Why are you always talking to her anyway? She's so weird." Myrcella said and there was a beeping sound as Lauryn disconnected the call.

"I'm sorry, I can't talk now Myrcella, I have to go help Lauryn, my best friend." Jon said before running out into the lobby of the hotel that the school dance was being held in, just as Lauryn appeared. Her dress was thrown on haphazardly, her hair was a mess and she was carrying her shoes in her hand. "Lauryn, what happened?" He asked, catching her around the waist, realising her dress wasn't exactly zipped up and he held the material together for her.

"The condom, it's stuck in me and I can't get it out." She whispered and Jon chuckled before pulling his tux jacket off and wrapping it around her shoulders. She slipped her arms through the sleeves and he rushed her out of the hotel and into his car.

Lauryn tried not to laugh as she sat on the bed in the private examination room at the hospital. Secretly she was glad that they had given her a private room until the door to said room opened revealing an extremely good looking doctor.

"Hey I'm James." He said, flashing a megawatt smile and Lauryn smiled back nervously. "Vagina or anus?" He asked and Lauryn flushed before nervously pointing at her lap. "If you'd like to lie back." He said, walking to the end of the bed and she did as she was told, wishing that she could just die in that moment, and completely sure that her face was bright red and unattractive. "All done." He said, popping up and disposing of it in the bin. "Take these tomorrow morning." He said, handing her a box of the morning after pill. Lauryn nodded and he helped her off the bed.

Jon was waiting for her and he stood up as she approached. "How-," he asked but she had grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the hospital.

"Oh my God, I can't believe that happened. I actually cannot believe that happened." She said as she dragged him to his car. Jon chuckled beside her and she turned to look at him as they stood next to the car. "You cannot tell anyone this happened Jon. No one. Or I will put your DVD collection out of chronological order."

"Yes ma'am." Jon saluted before opening the door for her. She climbed in and he ran around to the driver's side and climbed in. He put his seatbelt on and drove away.

"Thanks Jon. You really are my best friend." Lauryn said as he pulled up in front of her house. "Oh my God." She said placing her hands over her face and they both laughed. "It could only happen to me."

"Yeah." Jon said with a smile.

"He had really nice blue eyes though. Like ocean blue. They were really pretty."

"You noticed what colour his eyes were?"

"Hey, he was giving me a very intimate inspection, I had to return the favour." Lauryn said, holding her hands up. Jon laughed loudly and she joined him before quietening and looking shyly at her hands in her lap. "Do you ever get bored of me Jon?"

"What?" Jon asked, looking at her and found her blue-green eyes looking back at him intently. "Is this about what Myrcella said?"

"Well, I'm obviously a bit of a cock block for you."

Jon sighed a laugh before shaking his head. "You're my best friend Loll. If a girl can't stand that then I don't want to know." He sighed, leaning his head back on the headrest, closing his eyes. "Aren't you tired of people's expectations of eighteen-year-olds? That we're all in relationships and have an idea of where we want our lives to end up?" He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her. "Doesn't it make you just want to run away?"

"Flee the country?" She laughed.

"Would you?"

"Where would we go?" She asked seriously.

"Dorne?" Jon asked and she shook her head. "Highgarden?"

"Highgarden sounds nice."

"Highgarden it is." Jon said. "Unfortunately, I am expected back at eleven so,"

"Right." Lauryn said, smiling. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Of course." Jon said and she leant across to hug him before climbing out of the car and walking up the path to her house. She turned and waved to him before closing the door behind her. Jon turned the car and pulled into the driveway of the house opposite. The living room light was still on, meaning that his mother had waited up for him. He sighed before opening the front door and walking into the hallway. "I'm home." He called out and walked into the living room to find everyone waiting for him.

"What happened? We were having fun and then you disappeared." Robb said and Jon bit his lip.

"Lauryn got into a spot of bother and I had to help her." Jon said, throwing his car keys into the metal bowl on the cabinet.

"A spot of bother?" Ned asked, crumpling his forehead.

"A, um, sexual incident." Jon said quietly, blushing. "I can't say anymore, she threatened to touch my DVD collection."

"Is she alright?" Catelyn asked, immediately concerned for her son's best friend.

Jon nodded vigorously, "She's fine. I just dropped her off and she's alright." He said. "Can I go to bed?"

"Of course. Can we expect Lauryn for breakfast tomorrow?" Catelyn queried and Jon nodded.

"Most likely." Jon grinned before running and bounding up the stairs. Catelyn sighed heavily.

"Those two are going to be the death of me, I swear." She looked at her husband. "When are they going to get together?"

"I don't know Cat. I just don't know."
