October Scott walked in on her boyfriend sleeping with one of her best friends. After going to a concert to see her favorite band Asylum. What will happen after she meets the lead singer Dominic Kinkaid?
**Mature language and mature content through...
We're sitting on the plane flying to Colorado. October hasn't said a word in hours.
We've only got about another hour until we land. I look over at her and she's fallen asleep.
She's gonna need it.
We finally land in Colorado Springs. I wake up October and grab our bags.
We get off the plane, I called a car to pick us up to take us to her mom's.
October is just staring out of the window. Not making a sound, her facial expression hasn't even changed.
We get to the house and go inside. Jill's sitting on the couch, her eyes are red and puffy.
She stands up and hugs October.
We all sit down.
"What happened?"
"Your dad was on the way home from the store. Someone ran a red light. Hitting him on the driver's side. They said he died instantly.
His funerals on Monday."
"Will stay with you until then. Then after that I'd like you to come live with me and Dominic."
"Is that ok with you Dominic?"
"Of course it is. October's family is my family too. I know October wouldn't feel right leaving you here alone."
"I'll think about it."
"That's all I ask. Dominic let's get some sleep."
"Yeah we're still on Auckland time."
We go upstairs, October changes and lays in bed. I go into the bathroom and throw some water on my face.
Less then 24 hours ago we were on a beach.
I go back into the room and she's already asleep. I get into bed and turn to her side. Putting my arm around her waist pulling her closer to me.
I woke up a couple of hours later and she wasn't next to me. I looked around in the room and she wasn't here. I go into the bathroom and I found her sitting in the floor.
Her face was red with tears streaming down her eyes. I sit down next to get wrapping her up in my arms.
As soon as I pulled her closer to me all her emotions were coming out. I just held her as tight as I could.
"Baby just let everything out. Don't hold anything back again."
"I feel bad and not just because my dad died but because we were halfway around the world.
My mom was alone when she found out and several hours later."
"You shouldn't feel bad about that. You didn't know this was going to happen."
"It just figures that it did."
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't get along with either of them as a teenager. So I run away from them.
Then I run further to L.A. I hardly talked to my mom. Never my dad.
I didn't see either of them for five years. Then when we start having a relationship again. Something like this happens."
She continues to sob onto my chest. I don't know what to say.
I've been through something like this myself but the circumstances were totally different.
My mom died a slow death. I had plenty of time to make anything right that we had wrong. To say our goodbyes to each other.
October didn't get that.
I scooped her up and carried her back to the bedroom. I turned around sitting on the bed placing her in my lap. I laid us back on to the bed.
Within in seconds I could hear her sleeping.
It's Monday morning and I'm not prepared for this. I wonder if this is how Dominic felt.
"You ok baby?"
"I guess as good as one would feel about something like this. How did you handle it with your mom?"
"Drinking mostly.
Not proud of it. But yeah.
I always bitch about how Doug delt with it before she died but probably the worst year or two of my life was after she died. Not emotionally but the way I acted.
The way I treated people. Ask Dimitri I was a douche bag.
I thought dating Candice would settle that shit down. That just became a spectacle and shit for tabloids to write about.
I personally probably kept them in business during those years."
"Yeah I remember seeing shit about Dominic Kinkaid arrested for a DUI or for fighting in a night club."
I look at Dominic and he doesn't look too happy with himself.

"Yeah one thing Doug was good at. Making stuff like that go away. But it only goes away publicly. I'm still a douche bag."
"Dominic you are not. If you were an actual douche bag I don't think we'd be married."
"You've got a point one. But like I've said you're the reason I changed my life around."
After the funeral my mom and I have a bunch of people I don't even know coming up to us giving there condolences.
I'm just trying to be polite about it all. I'm just glad no one's being an asshole asking for selfie's.
"So mom will you move in with us?"
"I love you October and I really appreciate the offer.
