Jon and Karyn entered her room entered her room, and Jon mowed the door behind them.
“What’s up Jon?” She asked taking a seat on the bed. Jon looked around, she had clearly started unpacking, but things were strewn all over the place, as though she had kept getting distracted halfway through her tasks. The clothes she wore to bed were in a crumpled head next to the door.
“I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing? We didn’t really see each other yesterday.” He asked as he took a seat next to her. Karyn through for a moment.
“Honestly Jon, I’m really struggling. I’m scared I’m turning into a boy.” She said turning to look up at him. Jon gave her a warm smile.
“Well mom said she’s getting hold of Dr Grant to let her know what else has happened. Hopefully they’ll have better news for us” he said. Karyn nodded, but still looked sad.
“I know, but Jon, I don’t want to be a boy” she whimpered, tears forming in her eyes “I’m a big girl!” She added as the started to roll down her cheeks. Jon felt his heart sink a little. He reached over and pulled her into a tight hug.
“That’s right!” He said soothingly, “you are. It’s going to be ok!” He added as he placed a hand gently on the back of her head and she began to cry heavily into his chest.
“I’m scared” she whimpered again. They stayed like that for a few moment as he let her get her emotions out. He leaned his head down and rested his lips on the top of her head. This seemed to calm her somewhat and pretty soon she stopped crying. They released their hug and she looked up at him, wiping the tears away.
“Thanks Jon” she sniffled, “I needed that”. Jon smiled at her again.
“Any time sweetie” he said. Before they could say anything else they heard Laura calling them back downstairs. They quickly made their way to the living room where she was waiting with the others.
“Ok, so I’ve just got off the phone with Dr Grant. She’s heading right over, and she says she’s got some other things to discuss with us all. So don’t anybody go anywhere until she’s been!” She said looking around. They all nodded silently, hopefully that Dr Grant was coming with some good news. After a few seconds they started to go their separate ways, and Jon headed back up to his room. He grabbed his phone and saw he’d had a few messages from Sarah.

This last one was only a few minutes ago. Jon smiled at the fact his new friend was desperate to talk to him. He quickly replied.
can’t just yet, waiting for the doctors. Will call you after? almost immediately after it sent he received a reply
ok, same here. Speak soon
He put the phone away in his back pocket and was about to start tidying up the clothes Zoe had left behind when he heard the doorbell. Followed by Laura calling for everyone again. With a sigh he stopped what he was doing and headed back downstairs.
