At night I would sit on top of the wall and listen to the quietness but it would soon be interrupted when all the others would start to sing. They enjoyed a good song in the night, they would mostly sing the rains of castamere. Which would only remind me of Eve, because that is the song about Tywin Lannister.
One night when all the men were sat together a big chubby one started talking about the Lannisters. I tried to listen in but they were laughing too much but then they brought me into the conversation.
"Jon, you're from Winterfell right" he shouted over everyone.
"Yes" I answered.
"Is it true Lord Tywins niece fooled you all and said she was a commoner" I felt my heart become faster and faster. I only gave a nod and then I looked away. "I bet she was a whore aswell" He roared and laughed so hard he nearly fell off his chair. My fists clenched and my whole body tensed up, I wanted to kill him right there, I front of everyone. But I didn't move, no body could no about me and Eve.
Suddenly a boy ran in with an excited look on his face "Jon, you have a letter" The boy passed me it and everyone was looking at me. No body ever gets letters at the wall so this was a big shock for everyone. But who would someone bother to write to me, I've been at the wall for 8 months now and nobody has cared to even visit.
"Go on then, open it" Grenn said while patting me on the back. I ripped it open and that's when I realised it was from Eve. I looked at everyone then walked out the room. "Jon! What you doing?" They all shouted. "Its from a girl that's why" One of them said and they began to laugh. The letter said:

Dear Jon,
I know I haven't wrote to you before but I miss you. I know we only knew each other for two weeks but I want to see you. I didn't mean for you to find out about me like that, I wanted to tell you, not them. My cousin Tyrion is coming to the wall soon and I plan on going with him. Every body says that the wall is no where for a eighteen year old girl to be going, but Tyrion disagrees and he thinks it will be fun. Anyway no one can stop me from seeing you. I can't wait to see you, I miss your black hair, I miss your brown eyes, I miss your beautiful voice and I miss your handsome face. I will be counting down the days till I see you again, which I hope will be very soon.
Love from Eve

The letter made me smile. But I didn't know she loved me like I loved her. I always thought it was me that was unconditionally in love, but it was her aswell. Maybe if I didn't go to the wall we could of run away with each other but if you run from the wall you come back without a head.
