October didn't like talking about it. She tried everything to forget it.

"You remember four months ago when I got in that car accident? I was so stupid that night. Drinking and driving. I should have known better, but I didn't think I had that much. I thought I would be ok to drive. When I realized I had…had killed someone I couldn't get over it. I was taking my guilt out on everyone. I talked back to the teachers, I started fights at school, I stopped turning in my homework."

"Everything will turn out all right."

"No it won't. I got kicked out. I'm no longer allowed back at that school."

"Oh October, I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault. It's mine. Because I was so stupid."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I was afraid. I didn't want to admit that I messed up and got kicked out of school."

October hadn't realized that she was crying until Rebecca wiped her tears. Then she wrapped October in a hug.

"We'll figure this out together. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's not the end of the world."

"This was a big mistake. A mistake that I can't go back and do over."

October pushed Rebecca away.

"She had a family. She was going to college to become a teacher. She had so many good things going for her and I killed her."

Rebecca didn't know what to say to comfort her sister. She had no idea that October still felt this guilty. She was very good at hiding her feelings when she wanted to.

"I'm not mad, October. I'll help you through this any way that I can."

"Thank you."

"Now why don't you go get some rest?"

October nodded then went to her room, but sleep did not come to her.

She was plagued by nightmares and woke up. After the third time she woke up she decided to just stay up. She turned on the lamp that was on the nightstand by her bed and grabbed the book that was lying next to the lamp.

October traced the gold Egyptian lettering on the cover. She was hoping all of this was just a dream and she would wake up any minute. She lost her dream all because she was being stupid. She should have known better. She was taught better so why did she get in the driver's seat?

For the rest of the night October read her book about Egypt and wondered what she was going to do now.

The next morning October forced herself out of bed. Since she had gotten no sleep she had no energy. She walked into the kitchen and saw Rebecca eating breakfast.

Rebecca looked up when she heard October walk in. "Hey October, don't take this the wrong way but you look like hell."

October's hair was all messed up, there were dark circles under her eyes and her chocolate brown eyes lost their shine.

"I'm sure I do." October said as she made herself some breakfast.

"I take it you had a rough night."

"I couldn't sleep and when I did I would have nightmares about that night. When will this end?"

"I wish I had an answer for you. Maybe you should go see-"

"No way." October cut her off. "I'm not going to see some shrink. I'll deal with this on my own."

"Well, I have to get to work. Try to have a good day."

"I'm not making any promises."

Rebecca put her bowl in the sink then left for work.

After October got done with her breakfast she took a shower and got ready for the day. She decided to go out since she didn't want to stay in the house. If she did she knew al she would think about was what happened and she wanted to get her mind off of it.

October decided to go to the bookstore. If it was one place to get her mind off something that would be it. When she got there she stayed away from the Egyptology section. She wondered around the aisles looking for something that looked interesting.

October soon found a book that looked good so she sat in a chair and started reading. It was about a woman who could see this ghost, but neither knew why. The ghost was murdered so the woman tries to find his murderer. By the end of the book the woman fell in love with the ghost, though they couldn't be together.

That's like my situation only my guy isn't a ghost.

October left the bookstore and walked around the city for awhile. Her mind was no longer thinking about the accident that happened. Now she was thinking about Ahkmenrah. She knew she was falling for him, but there is no way they can be together. Why did life have to be so complicated?

October walked to the park and sat on the bench. She was so confused about everything and had no idea what to do.

"This isn't fair." She said to herself.

"You always did talk to yourself. Some times I thought you liked to talk more to yourself then to me."

October looked up and her eyes widened at who she saw. "Trent."

Trent sat down next to October. "You know you aren't that easy to find."

October stood up. She didn't want to be near him. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, you wouldn't answer my calls so I decide the only way I would talk to you is if I came here."

"I don't want to talk to you. That's why I didn't answer your calls."

"Won't you at least hear me out?"

"I've heard everything you have to say." October started walking off.

Trent stood up and grabbed October's arm.

"You aren't going anywhere until I've talked to you."

October struggled to get free. "Let go of me. I'll scream, I swear I will."

"All right, all right. Just chill out." Trent let go. "Will you please listen to me? Five minutes?"

October sighed. She knew he wasn't going to give up. "Fine. Five minutes, but that's it."

"Thank you." They sat back down on the bench. "I'm sorry for what I did. It was stupid and I never should have done it. I promise I've changed. Will you give me a second chance?"

"A second chance? You want a second chance after you cheated on me?"

"It was stupid. I was drinking and didn't know what I was doing."

"That's no excuse. You did it once and I'm sure you'll do it again."

"I'll only did it because I was drunk."

"Right, I'm sure that's it." October said sarcastically. "I don't care if you were drunk or not. You cheated on me and that I will never forgive." October stood up and started walking again.

"At least what I did is forgivable." Trent said as he stood up. "No one will ever forgive you for what you did."

October turned and looked at him with anger in her eyes. "I know that! And you were in the car too!"

"Yeah, but I wasn't the one driving."

October wanted so much to hit him, but she restrained herself.

"You can go to hell." Then she walked off.

October walked to the museum and saw Rebecca was still working. She asked October if everything was all right and October lied saying she was fine. October didn't feel like talk at the moment.

October went Ahkmenrah's tomb and sat next to his sarcophagus. She pulled her knees to her chest and started crying.
