Okay, so this here is my first BTR fanfic! I'm not even past the Preface, and it's already practically my baby! For now, I'm gonna update this story on Thursdays!

Summary: October Moore moves to the Palm Woods looking to hide from the past. As soon as he meets her, Logan Mitchell knows somethings wrong. He can't pen point what it is, but he's determined to find out. Little does he know he's walking into a living nightmare.

Author's Note: There are so many abuse stories out there with Kendall as the main guy, so I decided to end the trend and use Logan!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything associated with BTR or the show. I only own the plot, October, and possibly any other OC's I add to the story, that is unless I decide to have one of those OC contests that everyone else is doing! It might be fun when the time comes! Who knows?

So, here's the Preface! Enjoy!

Preface

It was not even 2:30 in the morning, and a tear stain faced, October Moore, stood on the ledge of the Palm Woods roof looking down at the pavement below her. She silently calculated in her head how far she'd fall if she decided to go ahead and jump after all, and also how long she'd be alive to regret her decision before she hit the solid ground. October figured that jumping would be a whole hell of a lot easier than trying to survive the constant nightmares that were haunting her in her sleep. Maybe eternal sleep would be better for her?

October slowly found herself taking a step closer to the ledge. Fresh tears began running down her face as she thought about the past few years. She felt like a filthy, stupid, useless person. Or at least that's what her abusive ex boyfriend made her believe for those six horrible months. She was sick and tired of always putting herself down and degrating herself because of all the lies that that jackass had put in her head.

She just wanted it all to end. The nightmares, the flashbacks, the voices, his face showing up every time she closed her eyes...she just wanted it all to go away. She wanted to be able to live again. She wanted to be herself again. Was that so hard to ask for? Apparently, in her life the answer to that question was yes. Yes, it was indeed hard to ask for.

October was running out of options, and she was running out of them faster than the speed of light. It was pathetic, really. How could anyone, especially her, ever let someone change them? She knew the answer. The answer was because she wasn't strong enough to defend herself. Or at least that's once again what her jackass of a ex boyfriend had always told her.

It never mattered what she said or did after he took a turn for the worst. He had changed everything about her in only six months, and certainly not for the better. October and her ex's relationship was absolutely great until she caught the bastard cheating on her with her best friend. When she went and confronted him about it the next day and broke it off with him all hell broke loose.

Now here she was, standing on the ledge of of the Palm Woods roof, contemplating jumping to her death, and all for what? October was actually planning on throwing her life away all because of him. The more she thought about it, though, the more she started seconding guessing what she was thinking of doing. If she went through with this then he wins. She just couldn't let that happen, could she?

Her mind was made up for her when she heard a person's voice come from behind her. "Excuse me, miss, are you okay?" the person asked startling her enough to make her lose her balance and begin to wobble.

October felt herself begin to topple over in slow motion. She opened her mouth to scream, but closed it when she felt two hands grab her and pull her back to safety.

...So, I'm going to stop there! What'd you think?

I know this was short, but it's only the preface. The real chapters will be longer!

Please review! I'm looking forward to reading what everyone thinks!

I except both ANONYMOUS and SIGNED reviews, so any and everyone feel free to review!
