Arya woke up to the feeling of someone tugging on her feet so she did the first think she could think of she kicked and then there was a scream.

"What the fuck?!Arya!" Gendry shouted angryly clutching his nose

"Me? What about you, you can't do that on people!" She screamed.

"I was trying to be nice by carrying you to bed and taking of your shoes but I get kicked. Stop screaming everyone is asleep"

"You started screaming first"

"Because I got kicked in the nose"

"Shut up stupid" she said getting up and looking through her bag for something warm and comfortable to sleep in.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to take a shower you are going to do the same &get me something to eat"

"You're hungry?" He asked raising an eyebrow

"I wouldnt be asking if I wasn't "she said going towards the bathroom.

She took a quick shower refusing to close her eyes every time she did blue eyes looked her with betrayal and hurt it was the owner of those eyes that made her heart wasn't betrayal right? They weren't together , they aren't together. The bruises on her hips, and love bites were a reminder of what she had has jaqen.

She dressed herself in a baggy T-shirt she stole from Jon earlier and sweatpants. Before she left she quickly drank her pills she didnt feel like drinking them in front of gendry and having to explain what they were for. She walked to her bedroom with her destroyed clothes in hand the dress was ripped and muddy so she placed it in the trash. She was laying in bed replying to messages when gebdry knocked twice and let him self in the room he raised an eyebrow at her and placed a tray with junk food, pizza, sodas and waters on the bed. Nymeria was trailing behind him.

"What" she asked crossing her arms in front of her.

"Nothing its just weird seeing you like this brings back memories" he grinned nymeria jumped on the bed leaving gendry to sit on the end of the bed.

"Oh yes those wonderful memories" she gave an exaggerated shudder.

As she was reaching for a chocolate bar gendry smakec her hand.

"Eat your food first"

"You call this food? Mother"

"Eat" they started eating in peace giving nymeria the crusts

"Nervous?" he asked

"Not really. I don't really care" she shrugged.

"When are you moving your things in?"

"Tommorow if thats fine with you"

"I don't really care its your house know" she smiled at that.

They had an easy conversation even though most of the time they stayed silent everything was comfortable and easy. They fell asleep in no time.

Her phone ringing woke her up.

"Yeah?" She answered her voice groggy with sleep.

"lovely girl"

"Don't start please its early" she quickly glanced at gendry who was sleeping by her feet to make sure she hadnt woken him.

"A lovely girl doesn't want to get sloppy"

"A girl won't get sloppy five more minutes"

"No"

"What time is it?"

"5"

"Come on jaqen I fell asleep at 3. Don't be cruel"

"A man is not being cruel not as much as a lovely girl is being. How's the bull?" She flinched.

She got up from bed and moved to bathroom nymeria tried to follow her but Arya pointed to gendry nymeria whined but listen and curled herself around gendry. She locked herself in the bathroom.

"You're an asshole jaqen"

"No lovely girl a man was just asking" his voice was calm and even that's what she hated about him.

"Why would a man ask that?"

"A lovely girl should ask herself that"

"Nothing happened and you know it"

"How can a man be sure?"

"Are you fucking kidding me! I'm not a whore jaqen! Haven't i proven myself to you! You knew about the fucking photographers! And don't try telling me diffrently! Now I have to deal with this mess it wasn't enough for you the first time was it, when you left me to deal with a mess and now you helped make me a new one and I have to deal with it! Me! Fuck you!" She was sobbing by the time she clicked her knees drawn up to her chest she resisted the urge to break and hit knowing gendry was outside and she could wake him If her sobbing hadn't yet.

She lost track of how long she stayed in there she got up and looked desperately for her pills when she realized she left them in her bag since she didn't want anyone snooping around her stuff. she brushed her teeth since there was no way she was going to get sleep.

She walked out and walked over to the bag that was by the bed she swollowed the pill and turned in time to see gendry shutting his eyes both of them were facing her she noticed nymeria had tears in her she sat down on the bed nymeria crawled over arya she placed her head in nymerias fur. She got from bed and started pulling on her shoes and trainers, gendry pretended to stir and wake up.

"Hey" he said pretending to have just woken up. She smiled and was silently thankful for him pretending not to notice.

"Hey lazy ass"

"Where are you going?"

"For a run" she hadnt turned to face him she knew her eyes were red.

"I'll go with you" she could hear him getting up from bed so she decided to move so he wouldn't have to see her face.

"Sure you can keep up?"

"Can you?"

She walked down the stairs to the kitchen to grab 2 water bottles while he went to get his shoes. Her eyes weren't a red as they were before when he got down stairs.

"You okay?" He asked his face full of concerned.

"Yeah let's go" she hasn't convinced him but she didn't leave him time to ask again she walking towards the door leaving him to lock it behind her

They started running Arya wanting to run her lungs burned her heart was racing the cold wind on her face made her feel a sort of numbness outoff the nowhere nymeria sprinted to the front which caused Arya to trip and fall only then did she realize gendry had been shouting after her.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah... I'm... sorry... I gu..ess I... got.. lost ..in ...thought" she was struggling to breathe she started drinking her water gendry knelt next to her and started nymeria water.

" we should walk back to the house and get sonething to drink or theyll end up finding our frozen bodies here."

she felt like shit gendry was out of breathe and so was nymeria. "There's a hot spring around here let's stop there." He nodded and they made their way to the hot springs it wasn't a large as the one closest to winterfell but it was enough. They knelt by the river washed their faces.

The walk back took about an hour and they were starving. As they opened the door they all ran to the kitchen.

There's nothing prepared" he said

Cook something she said

What makes you think I know how to cook?"

Didn't cersei teach you?

He laughed" my mom do you really think my mom would get her nails near a stove"

She smiled "okay then help me" she started pullingdown ingredients down.

"You arent allowed near the stove" he reminded her

"Shut up! I was 8"

"Doesn't matter "

Why

"It happened again when you were 9."

"That was an accident"

"And what about the time you were 11"he was trying really hard not to laugh." Oh oh what about the time you were 13" now he was laughing and trying to talk he looked like a fish and for some strange reason she found that attractive but right now he was laughing at her so she did the reasonable thing which was to grab a hand full of flour and throw it in his open mouth.

"What the hell "he ran towards the kitchen sink and started rinsing out his mouth she was smiling.

"Shut up stupid you deserved it now help me"

She told him what to do and he did it. She was cutting the fruit while gendry mixed the pancakes. She started pouring the cup cake mix in the tray when she looked at gendry she noticed his expression. "What?" She asked when she couldn't handle it anymore she was putting the muffins in the oven she leaning against it.

"Nothing" he looked back at the pancake mix and handled it back to her.

"Tell me"

"No"

"Tell me"

"I'll tell you if you answer me a question"

"Make sure what question you want to ask me. I'm not in a good mood and you already know that" he seemed shocked.

"Fine"

"Tell me"

"I don't know its funny how much you've changed I remember when your mom and sansa tried making you bake and cook you would destroyed everything. Now you're so sure about what you're doing its wierd"

"People change gen. What's your question?"

"Who thought you to cook? "

She raised an eyebrow that was something she didn't think he would ask but he knew he was walking on thin ice.

"In the house we all had chores to do everyday one part of was to help the cook" she smiled

"The house?"

"The school stupid" He seemed thoughtful for a second.

"My uncle told me he saw you in braavos"

"Yeah I saw him, bronn and pod there" she smirked

"Where?"

"Just in braavos"

"Why won't either of you answer every time I ask my uncle just smirks"

"So you've asked more then once?" He turned red" hand me the plate will you"

"How much are you going to cook? "

"Lets see Me, you, bran, rickon,sansa,Robb, Jon, jeyne, mycrella, Shireen, tommen, sandor, meera and jojen. A lot I'm guessing 30 pancskes they can eat the muffins"

"Damn that's alot"

"Yeah it is you should help"

"I rather eat"

"And you got mad when I called you fat!. Help me or you'll be eating shit."

Arya had sent gendry to pick up more milk when she opened the door his eyes were to the top of the stairs she looked in time to see meera run out of her brothers room.

"Oh this is going to be good" she whispered to gendry.

"Leave him alone"he warned but he was still smiling

"No its my job as his sister" she countered

"What about his job as your brother" he arched an eyebrow. He was right bran hadn't said anything to her about the scandal which she was thankful for.

"You suck" was the only thing that she could manage.

By the time they finished the whole house smelled sweet Arya and gendry were eating when the first footsteps were heard coming down the stairs.

It was sandor. He didn't talk just nodded his head towards them in greeting as he poured himself a cup of coffee he looked towards the kitchen island that was stacked with food. He picked up a muffin and started eating.

"This is good"

"Thanks" she replied stuffing a piece of bacon in her mouth.

You made this?"

Yes"

"Bravoos did you good considering the time your parents had to redo the kitchen"

"Fuck you dog" gendry walked over to sandor and gave him a high five "fuck you too"

Rickon and tommen were bolting into the kitchen"Hi ary, hi guys"

"Hungry?"

"Yeah"

"Serve them gen"

"Right away m'lady"

"Shut up"

Jon, Rob, jeyne and Sansa came next.

"It smells delicious" said sansa The rest just nodded and started digging in the food

"Where did you guys get this?" Asked Robb

"You'll never guess" said gendry she groaned

"Where"

"Arya cooked" Jon instantly spitted out the pancake he been eating

"You let her near the stove! You aren't supposed to do that. " said jon wiping the food from his mouth

"Remember the time she almost burned down the house" said sansa

"Or the time she used powdered detergent as flour" added Jon.

"Its okay I supervised "

Mrycrella and shireen came down they told her thank you awhile later Bran, meera and jojen walked down the stairs

Gendry nudged her "Don't even think about it," he warned her.

"Did you sleep well" she asked bran but looking at meets.

"Yeah I did" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Thats good" she let out yawn.

"How 'bout you?" he said glancing towards herself & gendry.'you little shit'

"Yeah I did" she responded arching her eyebrow they both broke out in to laughter .

"Are we missing something?" asked robb

"No nothing at all" responded bran. They continued talking when her phone broke the conversations being held.

"Gen can you see who it is" the phone was closer to him anyways.

His jaw clenched as he passed her her phone that's all she needed to know. Sure enough Jaqens name was on the screen. She put her phone on silent.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Asked Jon

"No"

"Why"

"None of you business "

"I'm your family it is my business"

She put her hand on her chin in a thoughtful expression.

"Is it my business Jon to know who Ygritte is?" She smirked Jon instantly turned red which everyone to as an opportunity to get information out of.

"She told you?!"

"No she was on the phone ygritte. I just wanted to know what your reaction would be & now I have my answer."

Jon refused to answer any question involving thee now famous Ygritte. The reeds were the first to leave. Now they were all sitting in the living room.

"Next time wake me up when you're going to cook breakfast I would like to help" Sansa told her.

"There won't be a next time"

"Why"

"Because you," she said pointing to the guys "are all bastards"

"Did we say anything that wasn't true?" Asked Robb

"Fuck you all"

"Did we?" Asked gendry

"I refuse to answer that"

"fucking Stubborn" said Sandor.

"Sandor language there are children here"

"Nothing they haven't heard before"

"We have leave soon"

"Okay I'm going to go take a nap"

She left towards her room and slept.

When she awoke it was nearly 4 in the afternoon.

She walked down stairs. Rob,Jeyne, jon and sansa were watching TV.

"Where's everyone at?." She asked sitting next to jon and stealing his slice of pizza

"They left already, bran and Rickon are playing with the wolves."

"You phone hasn't stopped ringing by the way" said jon giving her the phone.

"I thought I turned it off"

"You didnt"

"Why won't you answer his calls?"

"I start school tomorrow and I just got back so excuse me if I want to spend time with you guys"

"I don't like him" said Robb

"You've already said that"

"I haven't I don't like him" said jon

"Oh just tell me"

"What do we have to do to make you become a septa?" Asked Robb

"Stupid" she threw a book at him

"He's older than you Arya we just worry about you" said Jon

She rubbed her face with her palms.

"Don't just don't. I've been making my own choices since I was born & I've been taking care of myself since I was 14"

"If it was up to us you wouldn't have gone. But it was your choice to leave."

She shook her head "It was never my choice to leave but it was my only option."

It was a delicate subject and they knew it.
