The next day October and Rebecca were having lunch with Larry and his son Nick. It was mainly because Rebecca and Larry had something they wanted to tell October and Nick. October tried to get Rebecca to tell her what it was, but Rebecca wouldn't talk about it until lunch time.

The sisters met the other two at a nice restaurant and got a booth near the window. They all looked at their menus as they decided what to get. When they finally figured out what they wanted they gave their order to the waitress and she took the menus away.

"So what did you want to talk to us about?" October asked as the waitress left.

"She gets right to it, doesn't she?" Larry said.

"I'm just curious and I'm sure Nick is too."

"I am. Why did you want to talk to us together?"

"Well, it concerns both of you."

"Oh my god, you're pregnant!" October laughed.

"No I'm not pregnant."

"You're getting married?"

"No."

"Then what is it?" Nick asked.

"Larry and I have decided to move in together. Since you two will be staying with us we thought we should run it by you guys."

October smiled. "That's great. I wouldn't mind."

"I wouldn't either."

"That's good." Larry said. "Now since both of our places are kind of small for four people we'll have to find another place to live."

"House shopping is always fun." October said as she took as sip of her drink.

"Glad you two approve."

"Would you really not move into together if we didn't?"

Rebecca and Larry looked at each other then at October and said, "No."

"Didn't think so."

"But it's always nice to be included." Nick said.

"That it is, Nick."

The food soon arrived and they started eating. Halfway through their lunch Larry brought up something that made October turn red.

"So I heard about you and Ahkmenrah last night."

"All we did was hug. He was comforting me."

"Anything else going on?"

"What? Of course not. He was just trying to cheer me up."

"Uh-huh."

"I swear that is al he was doing."

"Oh I believe you." Though the tone in his voice said other wise.

The rest of the day they just hung out and decided to look at houses in a few days. October was very happy for her sister. She had found someone who loved her for her and didn't try to change who she is. She can't say the same for herself though.

Trent was a good guy when October first met him. It was at a college party. At first she didn't want to go, but her friend Faith made her saying that she needed a break from all the studying. Reluctantly October agreed to go.

October always felt out of place when it came to dances. She was a horrible dancer and stepped on the guys' feet so she stood in a corner while Faith was off dancing. She hadn't intended to meet anyone or dance or even fall in love. All October cared about at that point was her school work.

Trent was very kind and not once did he complain when October stepped on him. He was patient with her. After that they started hanging out more and he did everything to make her happy. The eight months that they had been going out he hadn't hit her or yelled at her. Whenever someone looked at October with lust Trent would yell at the guys and get October away from them as quickly as he could.

Something changed in him. Something October didn't realize until the first time he hit her. When did that happen? What happened to make him change? Trent was no longer the caring person that he once was. He wasn't the same man October fell in love with.

October was going to break things off with Trent. She wasn't going to stay with someone who yelled at her all the time and hit her when he was mad. She knew he went to a party so she went after him to tell him. That's when she saw him. He was a very heated make out session with another girl. October was so hurt and depressed that she didn't see it sooner. She drank to get her mind off of it.

She wasn't sure how much she drank, but it was enough that she couldn't walk straight and her vision blurred. October was on her way back to her car when Trent saw her. He asked for a ride home and October was too drunk to care at the moment.

Only ten minutes had passed when October asked about the other girl. At first Trent denied it, but October wasn't giving up. She knew what she saw. October told him that when she drops him off that's it. She doesn't want to see or hear from him again. Trent was angry and started yelling at her saying that no one breaks up with him.

Trent was angry and he punched October in the head. The force made October hit her head on the window and she lost her footing on the gas pedal. By the time October recovered they were headed straight for a car. She could react quick enough to get out of the way and both cars collided.

October jumped when someone touched her on the shoulder. She looked over and saw Rebecca. They had been at the zoo and they were watching one of the zoo employees playing with the tigers. October looked around and saw Larry and Nick were already over by the lions.

"Are you all right?" Rebecca asked with concern.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"You spaced out for a minute."

"I was just thinking about things."

"Care to share?"

"Not at the moment." She and Rebecca walked over to Larry and Nick.

After awhile they left the zoo and Larry dropped the siblings off. When October got out of the car she looked across the street and noticed a certain guy watching her; Trent.

"Hey October, don't forget your purse." Nick said as he handed it to her.

"Oh thanks." October took her purse and when she looked back up Trent was gone. Now she was nervous. He knows where she lives. What would he do now?

"Trent's in town." October said when she and Rebecca got in the house.

Rebecca looked at her. "How do you know?"

"I uh…I saw him and we talked."

"Please tell me you aren't going back to him."

"Of course I'm not going back to him. He just came here to ask for a second chance." October was debating whether she should tell Rebecca that she saw Trent outside. But he disappeared so fast that she was wondering if it was just her imagination that she saw him.

"Just be careful. I don't want to see you get hurt again."

"I promise I won't get hurt. I'm not going back to him so there's nothing to worry about."

"I'm your older sister. I can't help it. Now how about I fix dinner then we go to the museum?"

"I'm up for that. I still have to get Jededaiah back for telling everyone about me and Ahkmenrah."

"What are you going to do?"

October smiled. "You'll see." Then she went to change her clothes.

After about an hour dinner was ready and the sisters ate as they talked about their favorite part of the day. Rebecca's was when Larry tried to win her a stuffed animal from one of the vending machines. Larry was getting frustrated that the animal kept falling out of the claw, but his persistence paid off as he managed to nab an elephant.

October had a hard time decided what her favorite part was since she enjoyed it all. She finally decided the best part was when she and Nick ran through the fountain at the zoo. They weren't planning on getting wet so they had on their regular clothes.

After they ate dinner they headed towards the museum. They had gotten there a few minutes before the sun set so October ran to the diorama room.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Larry asked.

"I need to take care of something." October said without stopping.

"She going to get Jed back for telling everyone about her and Ahk?"

"Yeah, but don't ask me what she has planned. She didn't tell me."

October stood back after she was done and waited for Jededaiah to wake. She couldn't wait to see his reaction.
