Ned pulls his arm from Lysa Tully's tight grip.

"I'm sure she's just getting ready." Ned says.

"Then why isn't she answering me?" Lysa asks, panic written over her face, her blue eyes watery and Ned hopes she doesn’t start crying.

"Look, I'll go and talk to the grounds keeper about keys. Alright?" Ned tells her before walking off.

"Okay, but hurry." The girl says as he turns to leave.

Ned walks quickly outside to search for the man. The wedding was to start in five minutes and all the guests had arrived and Brandon was standing in front of the altar with Ben and Edmure waiting for the wedding to start.

"Ned! What's going on?" Lyanna yells after him, pulling her bridesmaid dress up revealing the Doc Martens she is wearing underneath.

"Catelyn isn't answering the door and it's locked. So I'm looking for the keeper, have you seen him?" Ned asks.

Lyanna just shakes her head, falling very unladylike onto a chair. Pulling the skirt of her dress into her lap, sighing as she puts her boots on the table.

"So is this happening or not?" Lyanna asks with the dramatics only a seventeen year old could muster.

"Of course." Ned says with little conviction.

"Funny. I thought Brandon would be the one with wedding jitters. But I guess if you have so many side projects it isn't as terrifying to commit to someone for life." Lyanna mutters as she texts someone on her cell phone.

Ned growls only slightly and walks away before Lya can ask him anything else.

Ned can't see anyone outside except for the driver who's leaning against the limousine, that's supposed to take the newlyweds to the ballroom.

He's about to turn back when he sees a flash of red in his peripheral vision, when he turns he sees her running across the lawn. He doesn't even ...

... middle of paper ...

...?" Ned says, following after her.

"I'm talking about your brother fucking your ex-girlfriend on the day he is supposed to be marrying me." Catelyn says, pulling the door of her uncle's BMW open.

Should it bother him? Should he care at all that Brandon fucked his ex, when Ned is in love with Brandon’s fiancé? Who knows anymore? All he knows is he loves Catelyn and if she is willing to leave all this behind then so is he.

He grabs her arm again, pulling the keys from her fingers.

"I'll drive." He says when she tries to grab the keys from him. He shrugs his jacket off and throws it into the backseat before getting into the car.

Catelyn slides into the passenger seat, her fingertips a bit black from wiping her tears but she has never looked more beautiful and he pulls her hand into his, pressing a kiss to back of it before starting the car and driving off.

The End
