-Sorry about the strange glitch yesterday. It is now thankfully fixed and here is then next chapter. Thanks to all of you for waiting for the last post and this one too.
Arya
When she had told her father about her 'date' with Gendry for Friday he only seemed amused. She suspected that Jon had already called her father and told him that she had a 'date'. But when she told him about going to the art opening with Jaqen he had been completely unrepaired for that. She guessed that Jon had not mentioned that part.
On Friday night Arya went down the stairs to wait for Gendry. She stood in the family room and waited. She had nervous energy and so she was pacing. She didn't understand why she was so amped up. She should not have said yes to going out with Gendry. She had butterflies in her stomach.
"Arya what are you wearing?" Ned asked peering into the room on his way to his study across the hall.
Arya looked down at her outfit. To her there was nothing wrong with what she was wearing. She was in a long sleeved purple V-neck sweater, a black demine skirt that just hit her fingertips with grey tights and calf high boots. She had a cropped black leather jacket slung over the chair with her purse. Her hair that she had down was curling around her face. She had a black headband on to keep her hair in place. She has makeup on as well, even eyeliner and lip stick.
"What do you mean dad? I am in clothes. Is there something wrong with what I am in?" She asked anxiously.
"Um, no. I just never figured that you would dress up to go out to dinner with a friend." He chuckled as he walked into his office. She went back to her nervous pacing. Ten to seven there was a ping from her purse.
She went and looked out the window. Gendry was getting out of the car and walking to the door. She pulled her phone out and saw the text. All it said was "here". She raced to the door and opened it before he had a chance to knock.
He stood in the halo of the porch light. His hair was combed and he had washed the oil out from his fingernails. He had a blue sweater on with a charcoal colored linen jacket and jeans.
"Hey." He said with a smile on his face.
"Hi" She said back. For some reason she was shy. She had just seen him at school earlier that day. "Come on in. I need to get my bag and jacket. Oh and my dad does want to meet you."
"But at lunch today you said that you were joking." He stopped following her into the house.
"Don't worry Gendry I do not intend to hurt you. I just want to know who is brave enough to take out my Little Wolf here." Ned said from the doorway of his office. "I am Ned Stark. Nice to meet you." He walked half way to where the two teenagers were standing.
Gendry cleared his throat and walked the rest of the way to Ned to shake his hand. Arya watched how they squeezed hands but not to tightly.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Stark." Gendry said.
"Well dad you have meet him and seen how brave he is, now can we go now?" Arya warily asked. She walked back in to the family room and could hear Gendry and her dad talking.
"So you are helping her fix up Jon's present?" Ned was asking.
"Yeah, we are working it together. I don't have much else to do now that I am all done with my car. So I get to work on a car and show Arya the right way to fix them." Gendry said laughing.
"I will not tell her brothers that you said that. If they ever heard you say that they would pounce on you and wipe the floor with you." Ned said laughing right along with Gendry.
Arya was surprised to see how well her dad was getting along so well with Gendry. She saw how much her father liked him. Arya figured that Gendry reminded her of her older brothers, she knew that her father missed his sons more then he was letting on. She felt that if given the chance, Ned would use Gendry as a surrogate son for the three that he left up North.
"Come by anytime Gendry. I am sure that Aryas younger brother Rickon would love to watch you work on a car like he did with his brothers back home." Ned smiled at Gendry and they shook hands again.
"I think I could do that Mr. Stark."
"Call me Ned. You have fun and remember you have to be home by one Arya." He shouted at her as she walked out the door.
"I know dad. I love you." She said as she opened the passenger side door.
"Love you too sweetheart,"
They got into the car and pulled out of the driveway and onto the road. There was a strained silence in the car as they drove to the restaurant that Grendy had suggested. It was not a long drive and the place was tiny, but smelled heavenly of exotic spices and long lost secrets. The hostess seated them at a table in the furthest corner from both the door and the kitchen.
"Your dad seems like a really cool guy. You are lucky. I don't know my dad." Gendry said as they sat down at the table.
"My dad's the greatest. I get along with him a lot better then my mother. I am sorry to say that just by looking at you she wouldn't like you much. She is way more protective then my father." Arya said looking at the menu.
"So you are saying that once she got to know me she'd love me?" He asked.
"Maybe, if you were gay, but since you are not then maybe love is not the right word to use." Arya said distracted by the different food options.
"Well who said I wasn't gay?"
Arya lowered the menu and looked over at Gendry. He sat across from her smiling, his hands folded on top of the menu. Arya honestly could not decide if he was kidding or telling the truth.
"No one. But if you are gay then why did you invite me out tonight?" She tilted her head to the side and batted her eyelashes at him.
"I think we both know that I am not gay. I can prove it to you if you want." It was his turn to bat his lashes.
Arya threw her head back and laughed. Gendry sat across from her and just smiled.
"Not right now, maybe later."
Sansa
The football game was turning out better then everyone was expecting. Sansa had thought that the team would be playing badly without their quarter back, but they were playing better then they had with Joffery. When he had been suspended Sansa, as well as the rest of the student body had felt that they were going to lose the playoffs. But she had forgotten one important thing, Joffery was not the real leader of the team, Sandor was.
Even with the second string qb in they were kicking ass. They had scored nine touch downs and had not let the other team score at all. Sansas voice was horse from all the yelling that she had done. She was pumped that they had won. When the clock finally ran out of time and the other team had walked off their own field in defeat Sansa was on the field with the rest of the cheer team to congratulate their team.
"They played so well tonight." Margaery said jumping up and down with Sansa.
"They sure did. They didn't even need Joffery." Sansa said.
"The team is not the only one that doesn't need him. How can you still be with him after what he did to Aegon and Myrcella?" Margaery asked.
Sansa decided to ignore her friend as she cheered for the football players. She had had the same argument with Arya the night of the incident. Things had gone from good with her sister to bad in just a few seconds. Sansa did not want to think about it.
Sandor was making his way through the crowd to get to the locker room. He did not seem to notice the congratulations and pats on the back. He looked very distracted. Sansa went and stood right in his path that he practically ran her over in his effort to leave the field.
"You played really great tonight." Sansa said after they rightened themselves from their collision.
"Thanks. It was nothing when there was not any interference going on." He sounded distracted. "So are you going to the party at Blackwater still?"
"Yeah. Joffery is going to be there and if I don't go he will get angry. He has been sensitive since the incident the other day. I don't want to make his bad mood worse by not showing up. And Arya said something about there being live music for a little while and I want to see who it is that will be playing." She said. They started to walk to the locker rooms to change.
"Do you know where it is?" He asked as they stood outside the doors to the locker rooms assigned to their gender.
"Margaery is going to be driving with me. She knows the way."
"Okay, I guess I will see you there then." He turned and went to change.
Inside the girls locker room there was a celebratory air to the girls. They were all still pumped that their team had won and that they are still in the playoffs. If they win the next game they are the district champs then they go on to the state championship!
Sansa grabbed her gym bag and went into a stall to change. She had been told to stay in her uniform, but it was starting to get to cold to stay in the uniform when she was not cheering. She put on some jeans and a sweater and was tying up her shoes when she heard voices talking outside her stall.
"So are you still going to be meeting that QB from the other team at that party tonight?" A girl's voice asked.
"Yeah. I figure I could have some fun with the other team. I have already went and dallied with all the worthwhile guys on our team. This Baratheon guy can't be any worse then then. And it has been a while since I have done anything. It's been a whole week, can you believe it?" This girl has a smoky voice.
Sansa just stood there in the stall frozen. Had she heard right? Was one of the girls out there talking about having sex with her boyfriend at the party tonight? He could not believe it! There was no way that Joffery could do that to her, or was there? She had heard about things that he had done to his past girlfriends, but everyone said that she was different. There had to be a mistake. She had heard things.
She walked out of the stall and past the girls standing at the sinks talking. She didn't even stop to look at them. She just walked right out the locker room and waited by the door for Margaery to come out.
"Hey Sansa there you are. Are you feeling okay? You are as white as a sheet. And you were even whiter then normal to being with." Margaery asked, concern for her friend coloring her voice.
"Yeah I am fine, just a little tired is all." She lied.
"Well then we better get going." Margaery took hold of Sansas arm and took her out to where Sansa had parked her car. "Okay so take the freeway out till you see the signs that say Blackwater Bay. I will tell you when to go from there."
Sansa drove her car just as Margaery said. Margaery talked on and on about noting important and tried get Sansa to talk too. She was not in the best of mood when they got to the turn off to where the party was taking place. Once she got to the place that the other cars were parked she and Margaery got out and walked to the large blazing fire made up of drift wood. They were waved at and many people came rushing up to say hello to Sansa.
"Sansa did you hear? The ban that is playing is Aegons band! He is here and so is Myrcella. Joffery is over by the keg. What are you going to do?" A junior girl came rushing up breathless and asked, obviously hoping to get some juicy gossip to spread around.
"Joffery is his own person. But I think that he won't do anything to foolish tonight. I plan on enjoying the party that is all." Arya said curtly.
The younger girl walked off disappointed that Sansa had not given her more of a response. Sansa scanned the party and she indeed saw Myrcella with Aegon by the stage as they set up to play. Arya was there with Gendry. Her sister looked happy, like a cat that ate the canary. Sansa continued to scan the people around her and on the other side of the fire was the keg.
Joffery was there just like the girl said. He had a red cup in his hand and he was drinking fast. He had a sloppy smile on his face and it seemed that he was joking with the jocks around him. She decided that she better go over to him and get this part of her evening over with.
"Hi Joffery." She went and stood in front of him. He savagely grabbed her and gave her a slobbery kiss and a grope on the bottom.
"What have you been doing?" He demanded.
"Cheering remember?" She said.
"Oh yeah. And I had told you to stay in your uniform too. You should do as you are told Sansa. Get away from me for a little while. I just want to drink and not be distracted by you." He gave her another slobbery kiss and patted her ass again in a dismissal.
Myrcella
Her life at home since the fight had been miserable. Joffery did not touch her, but he did verbally abuse her. When her parents were told about the incident her mother went ballistic. She was afraid that her mother was going to scratch the principles eyes out when he said that there were witnesses that stated that Joffery was going to strike Aegon or Myrcella and that Aegon hit him in self-defense and that Joffery was suspended until Monday, she looked like she would kill someone. Her once lovely face went red with her anger and her hands were clenched in fists. She was shaking with her rage.
She turned and looked at Myrcella and snapped, "What the hell have you done?"
Myrcella felt as if her mother had slapped her but all she had done was say six words. Tears had streamed down her face and she turned back to her uncle.
"For god's sake Cersie she has done nothing wrong. Lay off the poor girl and take a look at that son of yours. He is the one who insisted that your daughter is a whore and you go and ask her what she has done? What kind of a mother are you?" Renly said, his voice seething with barely contained rage.
"That is enough of that. We will deal with this when we get home." Robert had finally spoken up. "Let's go everyone. I am sure that this matter is as good as settled?" Robert asked the principle.
"Yes Mr. Baratheon. The other boy has been sent to detention for the remainder of the week." The principle said.
"Why does this boy get detention while my son, who was the victim, gets suspended?" Cersie demanded.
The principle started to sweat and wiped it off his brow.
"Aegon was not the aggressor of the incident and by all accounts he was protecting your daughter." The principle said.
"I do not understand and I will be taking this matter to the school board. You will be hearing more from me sir. I will go get Joffery from the nurse." Cersie swept out of the office like a bat out of hell.
"Renly bring Myrcella. The cars are waiting outside." Robert said again.
When they got home her mother tried to get Myrcella to admit that she was the one who started the whole fight and that Joffery had done nothing wrong and that she had to break up with Aegon. She had sat there and let her mother yell and rage at her for a whole hour. Robert finally put a stop to his wife's ravings.
"Leave the poor girl alone. I believe what they said. I believe that Joffery did what they said he did. I want him grounded. He was going to hurt your daughter in public. I suspect that it would not be the first time the little shit had hit her, it was probably just the first time that he had to face someone that fought back."
Myrcella was amazed that her father was sticking up for her. He had never done that for her before and she was thankful for him now.
"And she does not have to break things off with that Aegon boy. So there will be nothing more on the matter woman." Robert walked out of the living room where the conversation had been taking place.
Myrcella just sat there as the rest of her family exited the room. She could not believe that she was being supported by her father. Her head swam and she finally had her courage to look at her phone. There were twelve missed calls. Tow from Hot Pie, nine from Arya and one from Aegon. There were text messages from almost everyone she knew. She checked to make sure that the coast was clear and called Aegon.
"Myrcella are you okay?" Aegon had sounded so worried. Her heart leapt and she felt calm and safe since she had been dragged away from him.
"I am fine. My mother went a little crazy, but she always has been like that when it came to Joffery. But my dad stood up for us, for me. We do not have to break it off." Myrcella said.
"Well it's good that we don't have to break up. Now are you still going to Blackwater with me or not?"
She did not understand why, but that one simple question made her break down in tears.
Friday found her at the party with the band. She watched Arya and Gendry together, they were flirting and happy. She watched the crowd and she noticed how much she was being watched more then normal. She was not sure that she could stand the whispers and pointing.
"Aegon I think that I might just ask Arya to take me home. Everyone is watching, and Joffery is here." She said.
"Cella there is nothing to worry about. They will stop talking soon. And as for Joffery he is busy right now. Don't you see him all over Sansa? He is not going to cause any more problems for us tonight at least. Stay and watch the show. We are only going to play for an hour. Then we will go and not have to be around people." Aegon held her hand and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
"Alright. I will stay for you. Are we still going for that long drive in the country tomorrow?" She asked.
"Would you settle for a drive along the coast?" He brushed the hair from her face and smiled at her.
"I could get to like the sound of that." She leaned over and gave him a soft kiss. It was the first time they had kissed on the lips and she was happy to find that he had soft lips and was a good kisser.
"Okay, none of that now. We have a show to do. Stop that kissing and get this crap set up." Beric barked.
"If you don't let these guys have any fun Beric they will not play for you." Arya said from behind a speaker where she had been helping Gendry set up.
"But if I do let them have fun they get distracted and play like shit." He snapped.
"Calm down there buddy, we will play fine." Thoros shouted from his key board.
"I am not worried about you, Hot Pie and myself, it's the two idiots over there that I am worried about. Women mess with the music. Everyone knows that." Beric snapped.
"Beric say that again to my face. I will show you how much the music can be messed with." Arya growled.
Myrcella smiled and was thankful for her friends. They made her feel like a normal girl and that was what she loved.
"Fine, but we start in five minutes and that means that all this has to be set up. Stop messing around and do it."
"Beric is a slave driver. I don't see anything else that needs to be done." Myrcella said to Aegon.
"He takes his 'craft' very seriously. Did I tell you that he stole a pome from Arya from our poetry class? He put it to some music and we are going to be playing it tonight." Aegon said.
"She is going to kill someone when she hears it. He knows that right?" She asked.
"He is hoping she won't notice." Aegon chuckled.
"Then I will definitely be staying around to watch the show." Myrcella smiled at him.
Gendry
He had really enjoyed his date with Arya. They ate good food, had a great conversation full of innuendos, but the thing that he could not get out of his head was the part about him proving to her he was not gay. He had just the idea of how to do just that.
They had finished their meal and Gendry was completely full. He loved the Thai BBQ chicken that they served. Arya had gotten the pad Thai and they bad both eaten every part off their plates. He paid the check and they started to head to the party.
Then Arya had hit him with a mac truck of some news.
"I am going to a gallery opening tomorrow with Jaqen." Arya said in an off handish way.
"Oh? Like on a date or a project for your art class?" Gendry tried to make his voice sound casual.
"We are just going as friends." She said.
"Oh, well have a good time then. But since you are out with me tonight let's not talk about tomorrow." Gendry tried to sound positive.
"I can do that." She said with that smile that could make him weak in the knees.
"I want to let you know that we will be doing some new songs here tonight. I hope that you like them. There is one that I think that you really will love." Gendry told him trying to steer the conversation away from Jaqen.
"Really? Beric finished his new songs?" She asked.
"Yes. They are very good." He said with a smile tugging at his lips. She had no idea that one of the songs was one that Beric had stolen from her.
They got to the party and went to where the stage was being set up. Myrcella and Aegon were there already as were the rest of the guys. He hoped that there wouldn't be a fight breaking out between Aegon and Joffery again. He suspected that Joffery would not retaliate personally, but have one of his lackeys do the hurting.
"You are late!" Beric yelled as soon as they got in Beric's line of sight.
"We were at dinner Beric. You knew that I was going to be a little late. Keep your shirt on." Gendry hollered.
Gendry got to getting his equipment set up. Arya assisted him in his set up. They had a great time. He kept finding ways to touch her. He showed her how to get the amps put up right, where the cords to go where. She did not pull away from his touches so he took confidence in each one. By the time Beric snapped at them all again Gendry had decided that he was going to make his move on Arya.
Beric kicked the girls off the stage and he told them all that it was time to start. He signaled the band to start playing and play they did. They were hour into the set when Beric said that they were going to play something new. Gendry glanced sideways and looked at Arya. He played the opening cords of the song, Thoros started to play his keyboard, Hot Pie started on the drums and Aegon strummed his base. Arya was swaying and slightly dancing with Myrcella. Then Beric opened his mouth and started to sing.
Myrcella had to restrain Arya from barreling on stage and strangling Beric. Gendry could only laugh and hope that Beric got away from Arya as fast as he could before she got her hands on him.
At the end of the song Beric said that they were going to take a small break and that to would be right back. The people at the party were going crazy and wanted more of what they had to play.
Arya came strolling on stage with an evil gleam in her eye and walked right up to Beric. He did not know her well enough to know that he was going to get punched, hard, right in the stomach. The rest of them just laughed as well as the people who were looking at the stage. After the punch in the gut Beric stood doubled over and Arya walked bake to the wings.
Gendry went and put his arm around the singer and helped him stand.
"You should have known that she would react that way. Just be happy that she went for the gut not the throat."
"Shut up Gendry." Beric crooked.
Gendry went over to Arya and they just smiled at each other.
Bran
Bran felt bad for deceiving his parents, but as Theon said there was no other time to be young as when you are young. He had told his parents that he was going to stay over at Jojens house, which he was. But he had not told them that he would be going to the party that the girls were going to be at. He knew that they figured that he was to young and that they would not allow him to go. So he deceived them and went out with his friend.
Bran did not want his sisters to know that he was there, so he decided to borrow something from Jojen and put on a hat.
Meera almost peed herself as she laughed when she saw him. He looked like he did when he was in his brother's clothes. They were all to big for him. When he put the hat on his head he was laughed at to no end.
"If you are finished laughing can we get going? It is getting late and I know that they must already be there by now." Bran said.
"Keep your pants on. I mean it, do you have a belt or something." Meera said.
"Jojen did not give me one." Bran huffed.
"Well I will go get you one." Meera said.
"I didn't think that you needed one." Jojen said.
Meera returned with a belt and handed a slim black belt to Bran. He eyed it with distaste but threaded it into his pants.
"Can we go now? I want to make sure my sister is okay." Bran started to walk away from the two Reeds.
The Reeds hurried after Bran to the car and they piled in. It took them fifteen minutes to get to where the party was being held. They parked the car and got out. They kept to the fringes of the party and Bran was able to see Sansa. She was talking to Margaery. She looked a little upset but was pretending that she was fine.
"There she is. She is not crying yet." Jojen said. "We got here in time. And there is the Hound. Bran tell me again, was Sandor menacing or protecting Sansa?"
"I don't know. She was by the fire crying then Joffery was there then the shadow sort of became a hound. I don't know what that means." Bran said.
He heard the band, the singer said that they were going to play something new and then they started to play. They had gotten better since the last time he had heard them play. He saw Arya with Myrcella standing off to the side of the stage. They both were watching the band with looks of glee and delight on their faces.
"We need to find Joffery." Bran said.
They spread out and went in search for him. Bran walked around the fire in a wide circle and came back to the place that they had started and waited for the others to come back too. Meera was the first one to return.
"He was not over by the keg, or the trees. He was not by his car either." Meera said.
"Jojen has not come back yet. Let's just keep an eye on my sister and see if she goes somewhere." Bran said.
Jojen came back looking angry and slightly sick.
"Well I found him, but I wish that I hadn't. I saw a lot more of him then I ever wanted." Jojen looked half sick.
"What was he doing? Taking a pee by the lake?" Meera asked.
"Not peeing, screwing." Jojen said.
"We better not let Sansa walk in on that. That would be the reason for her crying in your vision" Meera said turning to look at Bran. "Are you sure that you don't want her to know that you are here?"
"Yes. She can't know that we are here." Bran insisted.
Bran looked over to where he had last seen his sister, but she was no longer there.
Sandor
He had watched Joffery most of the night. It seemed to him that he had forgotten that he was going to have sex with some tramp that he met online. He was slightly relaxed most of the night. He was happy about the win and about the fact that he didn't have to hear any bitching and crying from Joffery during the game. He was thankful that he had not been there in the stands.
He noticed that Sansa would go find Joffery every half an hour or so and stay with him for fifteen minutes at a time. They needed the distance and she needed to see what a fool that he really was.
He had decided that he would go along with Jofferys plan to keep her away from him while he was with the other girl, not for him, but so she didn't get hurt. It was the only thing that he could do.
When the band took a break and Sandor saw the younger Stark girl punch the singer and walk away with a satisfied smile on her face he noticed that Joffery had walked off to the lake. Sandor knew that he was going to meet the girl. Sandor looked around to see where Sansa was. He saw her by the fire and decided to edge closer to her.
She was talking with Margaery about some chick lit book that they had both read. He was not interested in what they were saying and wandered off a few feet to look up at the stars. He was looking up at the big dipper and thinking about last weekend. He had only been looking at the sky for a few moments and then he went to scan the crowd to see where Sansa was. She was no longer by the fire so he went in search of her.
He found Margaery and asked her where Sansa was.
"She got a text and went to the lake. She seemed slightly upset." She said. "Why?"
"Nothing. I want to ask her something about our lit homework." Sandor said as he walked away to the lake.
He saw Arya with Sansa walking along the lake and rushed over to the girls. He did not want Sansa to see Joffery.
"Sansa wait up." Sandor shouted.
"Sandor want are you doing?" She sounded surprised to see him.
"I am just taking a walk." Joffery didn't know where Joffery was so he wanted to lead her away from the lake. "Do you want to go back to the party? I really like the band. You too Arya you should come too.' He put in as an afterthought.
"We were talking Sandor. Sister stuff. Is it important?" Sansa asked.
"It is. I just have a few questions. It won't take that long." Sandor said. He knew that he was stretching the truth, but he wanted to do whatever he could to stop Sansa from being hurt. He knew that if she was Joffery then she would be devastated.
"Alright, I will come with you. I will be there in a moment Arya." She looked at her sister and then walked over to Sandor.
"Thanks for coming with me. I just have a few things that I want…" He didn't get to finish his sentence.
There was a yell from the trees. He knew that Arya had stumbled upon Joffery and the other girl. He should have insisted that she come too, but he had forgotten about her in his haste to get Sansa away. Sansa went running to the sound of her sister's scream. Sandor went after Sansa.
He found Arya in a clearing where Joffery and some unknown girl were standing arranging her clothing. Arya was yelling at Joffery. Joffery was yelling back.
"You scum! You cheating piece of shit!" Arya screeched.
"Get out of here bitch!" Joffery shot back.
Arya flew across the clearing and slapped Joffery in the face. Joffery drew back his hand to strike Arya but she hit him again. Then Sansa started yelling.
"Stop, stop this!" She sounded close to tears. "Just stop."
Arya backed away from Joffery but he grabbed her hair to stop her from walking away. He pushed her to the ground. He aimed a kick at her side and Sansa went to stop him. Sandor was there between Aria's body on the ground and Joffery.
The scuffle had drawn the attention of a crowd. He saw Gendry turn Joffery around and sucker punch the worm in the stomach. He helped Arya off the ground and she went to stop Gendry from hitting Joffery. Arya and Gendry walked away and diapered into the trees. Joffery was bent over breathing roughly. Sansa was crying and Sandor went to put his arm around her.
"You knew. You knew that he would be here with her and that is why you wanted to talk to me. How could you do this to me?" Sansa cried.
"Sansa I am so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I wanted to protect you." He pleaded with her.
Joffery stood up and walked over to them. He grabbed Sansa by the shoulders and shook her slightly.
"Why did that bitch come and find me. Did you send her! Did you!" He screamed in her face. "Stop crying and look at me."
"Let her go Joffery. You do not want to be doing this." Sandor said with barley controlled rage in his voice.
"Fuck you dog. I gave you one request and you couldn't even do that. I just wanted to have a good time and this is what I get." Joffery spat.
He went back to shaking Sansa and telling her that she was nothing.
Sandor cracked. He took Jofferys hand and twisted it. He let go of Sansa and she ran away to the lake.
"You stay away from her from now on." Sandor said.
"Or what?" Joffery asked.
"I will make sure it is the last thing that you do." Sandor threatened.
He turned and went to find Sansa sitting by the lake on a log. She was crying and he felt powerless to stop her. He came up behind her and sat down next to her.
"Sansa are you alright?" He asked.
"Fine." She sniffed. "I just saw my boyfriend try to beat up my sister and she found him having sex with someone else. Things could not be better."
She was sitting there shivering so he took off his jacket and draped it around her shoulders.
"I am sorry. He said that he was going to do this tonight, but I really didn't think he would. I didn't believe that he would hurt you." He lied.
"I am sorry too." She said.
"So what now?" Sandor asked.
"Now I whip the tears away and go home." She said standing up from the log and she walked away from him.
