The next day while Rebecca was at work October stayed home as she thought about some things. Everything that was happening at school, the phone calls and there was that incident. That was an accident, but she still felt guilty.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when her phone rang. She thought it was going to be him again, but luckily it wasn't. It was her friend Faith.
"Hey Faith, what's up?"
"Same old thing, but I need to ask if you have heard from Trent."
"Yeah, he's been calling me non stop. Why?"
"Has he said anything about seeing you?"
"Not really. He just said that he wants me back and he can't wait until I come back."
"Then you're in for a surprise because he told me he is flying to New York."
"What?" October almost knocked her glass off the table. "He can't come here."
"Well he is. He said he was going to do anything to get you back."
"He does know why we broke up right?"
"Either he forgot or he doesn't care. I just thought I'd give you a heads up."
"Thanks for that. Now I'll be on the look out for him. Do you know exactly when he left?"
"I don't."
"Ok, at least I know he's on his way."
"Other then that how are things going there?"
"Great. Rebecca and I have had some sister bonding and I…" October was debating whether she should tell Faith about Ahkmenrah. Not that he was a mummy that came to life at night, but just that she met someone nice.
"And you what?"
"Well, I met someone."
"Really? What's he like? How did you meet him? Tell me everything."
"He's very sweet and kind and he was concerned when I fell yesterday."
Faith laughed. "Clumsy as always. So tell me more."
"We met at the museum, the one my sister works at."
"Do you see a future with him?"
October was silent for a moment. She wasn't in love with, but even if she were they couldn't be together. It would be impossible. There is no way she was falling in love…was she?
"Hello October, are you still there?"
"Oh yeah, sorry. Um, it's difficult to say. He doesn't even know how I feel."
"Then tell him. I have to go to work now, but I'll call you later. Bye."
"Bye." Then they hung up.
October can't be falling in love with the Pharaoh. She won't allow that to happen. There is no way they can be together. All she felt was a strong like for him and that was it. Nothing more.
She stood up and looked out the window. Right now she had bigger problems to worry about. Trent was coming here and she didn't want to see him. New York is a big city so maybe he won't even find her. She never gave him the address to her sister's place. He'll just wonder around the city hopelessly lost and get so frustrated that he'll give up and go back.
Yeah right. He doesn't give up easily.
October decided that tonight she would tell Rebecca about what happened with school. After that incident she did get in trouble with the school, but she hadn't told Rebecca the whole truth. She knew Rebecca would be upset that she didn't say anything sooner, though it's better late then never.
She tried to keep her mind busy by cleaning the house. She didn't want to think about Trent coming or that she was going to tell her sister the truth about what happened.
October did a deep clean to the house. She washed the cabinets and the walls in every room. She dusted in every nook and cranny. She swept, mopped and waxed the floor and vacuumed. She did the laundry, made the beds. She washed the windows and the mirrors. When she was done cleaning everything was sparkling clean and she was exhausted.
October only had to wait a few hours before Rebecca got home from work and when she walked in her mouth dropped.
"Wow, I've never seen the house so shiny before. Were you bored?"
"Maybe a little, but it also kept my mind off things."
"Like what?"
"Well uh…you should sit down."
"Uh-oh, this doesn't sound good."
Rebecca sat on the couch and October sat in the chair across from her.
"So what's on your mind? Does it have to do with Ahkmenrah?"
"No, it's something completely different."
Rebecca waited for October to begin, but she said nothing.
"What is it? Is it really that bad that you're having a hard to starting?"
"Yes because I don't know how you'll react."
"Now I know this is big. Just start from the beginning."
"All right."
October took a deep breath and prepared herself for what was to come.
