(I'm sorry for not having internet! It might take a little while but I will try to update as soon as possible, thank you for all the reads!! Xxx)

Crap. Harry's right. This really is typical. Unless he's not really dead? Maybe he's asleep, or faking?! Boy do I sound stupid. Of course he's dead.

A few tears roll down my eyes and I stand up straight. How am I going to explain everything to George. And what about William? Should I tell him about his real gramdfather? And that Benjamin is his greatgrandfather. Something like that!

What about his real grandfather? He died in my house? What the hell! I don't normally say things like hell but this is to much! Its like a film, it defiantly doesn't feel real. But it is. And I have to find everything about my house. Everything.

I get my phone out and look at the website. I look at the bottom of the page. There in very small writing reads 'B.L.T'. Good thing I have good eyesight.

But maybe, just maybe Ben wrote it.

"Harry, do you know what Ben's second name is... Was?" I turn round to see Harry outside pocking his head round the door.

He walks in and we both look at Ben. RIP.

"Geez." Harry whispers under his breath. "I dunno. To be honest I think it was the same as Williams." He looks up at me.

He walks over and pulls me into a hug.

"Get off your phone, selfish!" He chuckles.

"Hey! I was reaserching. Did you hear what he said to me before he died?" I take a step back.

Harry nods.

"Look at this." I show him the picture on my phone. I tell him all the mistakes and that I think Ben wrote it.

Just then we hear footsteps behind us as we are facing the window away from the door. We turn to see Layla and the twins standing behind the wheelchair with William sitting on it. His eyes still bloodshot and his cheeks still not dry. Layla's mascara has bin smudged, she has obviously bin crying as well.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.

"Its fine. At least he lived a long happy life." Layla tells me and pats her younger brother on the shoulder.

"Yeah and he got his last words which he knew was going to be to you Becs." William says looking down and twiddling his thumbs.

"What?" I can see Harry looking at me and it feels like everything stops.

What does William mean? How did Ben even knew I excised? Maybe threw Harry but I only found out he was my cousin 2 mouths ago when we technically bought the house. William made it sound like Ben knew me his entire life!

"I've got to go. Um, Toilet. Harry?" William says.

He doesn't look up, he doesn't even make eye contact. Harry pats me on the back and hands my phone back. He walks past me and wheels William out towards the mans bathroom. The doctors walk in as I begin to walk back. I don't look back. I don't want to see anything.

Actually i'm quite surprise William didn't say his last goodbye. They seemed pretty close.

"I'm sure you have no idea what he's on about." Layla makes the boys sit down it the waiting room and I follow them.

I shake my head.

"Nor do I. And beside, William does talk a load of rubbish soemthings. He might be mistaken when Harry talks about you all the time. If I was you I wouldn't listen to a word my brother says. He likes to lye. To be honest I doubt he's even going to toilet!" She continues.

"Where's he going then? I'm just curious." I say with my eyebrow raised.

I'm nosy.

"I dunno, canteen, to get food. He's greedy. He might not be though." Layla shrugs her shoulders.

"Oh, okay!" I chirp.

We all sit down in a row of the blue soft chairs in the hospital waiting room. Nobody saying anything. 5 minutes later footsteps fill the hall and doctors and nurses run down the corridor.

"What on earth?" Layla says and sits up from her chair.

She takes one of her sons hand and walks towards the door exiting the waiting room. I follow.

Harry rushes through the front door with worry on his face. He's breathing quite heavily. Layla's eyes grow wider. Jacob gasps and puts his hand over his mouth. No.

"Will- William..." Harry tries to catch his breath.

"Okay Harry calm down. Where is he?" Layla asks.

"I'm here!" A voice shuts from round the corner.

Me and Layla rush out to see the doctors and nurses still running around in the same direction. William is sitting in his wheelchair looking towards where the doctors are running.

"You should of seen him! He was amazing!" William says.

"What?" What is he on about? Does he mean Harry. Great, what did Harry do now?!

I look behind me and see Harry walking out of the waiting room. Harry's face a little pale.

"What did you do?" I turn around and ask him.

Layla walks towards William and wheels him closer to us.

"He saved her!" William says with a grin on his face.

Who did he save?

"Her name was Rose. Rose Harris." Harry says as we all turn to look at him. "We were walking to the toilets and fortunately I looked to my left in her room and saw the window wide open and her trying to climb up and it looked like she was about to jump. Now we're quite high up, about 6 stories up so she probably would of died. So I rushed in and leaved William in the middle of the hailway. You should of seen his face. It was quite funny. He was just like 'what? Harry where? What the? Hell?' But I rushed into her room as I said as I picked her up, I put her into my arms and as she looked up at me and fainted. I think she was a fan." Harry laughs and rubs the back of his head.

"Maybe we should go see her?" William says.

"I would like to meet her." I nod.

I sound like a jealous girlfriend or mother or something.
