"Rebecca, are you okay?" The doctor in the room behind the glass says.

I nod.

Luckily I don't mind small spaces.

Now I'm having my brain scanned. I'm wearing a hospital gown. The light blue glow on my body, the slight beep ringing in my ears, but I don't mind.

Suddenly the bed I'm laying on begins to move out. That's it. It's done.

I hop of the bed and grab my clothes.

"Rebecca can I ask you a question." the doctor asks, his voice a little stern.

"Yeah sure." I say.

"Are-were you related to William and his father?"

"Um no. Why?"

"Why did they ask you to have a scan?"

"Didn't you work with William?"

"No, actually the doctor who treated him was meant to see you but he was ill. But he did tell me a little about Williams condition, oh and I'm sorry for your lose."

"It's okay. May I ask, what did he tell you exactly?"

"That William could see things. Can you?"

"Not yet, but I can hear things."

"Okay, what do you mean 'not yet'?"

"Well I asked William, he said at first he could hear voices, but I hear much more, they talk to me."

Just then I look through the glass, I see my reflection, then the doctors. His hair short and he looks quite young, about William age. He wears a blue shirt and black tie and a long white doctors coat over it. Suddenly a figure emerges from behind him, from the darkness as the room is dark because the doctor has to seen my scans on the computer. The figure stands right behind the doctor.

But the figure doesn't look like a doctor, one Side of his face is pulled down, like he's having a stroke and he wears a hospital gown like me. The white fabric with the light blue diamonds.

"T-there's someone behind you!" I stutter and point towards the figure.

The doctor sharply turns around, a worried look on his face. But straight away turns back and looks at me through the window.

"Rebecca, there is no one there." He says, a confused expression crosses his face.

"But I-I swear I saw someone who was having a stroke behind you."

"Wait, did you say a stroke?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well it's probably just a rumour but I heard someone was having a CAT scan, had a strike and died in there before anyone realised he was having it. Rebecca, van you get back on the table. I want to run another test if that's okay."

"Okay."

I drop my clothes on the floor and lay back on the table, waiting for the blue light and the beeping to start again.

***

I sit on the blue hospital sit in the waiting room. Along with Jenna, Harry and Theo. The others all went home earlier. Layla and Lauren wanted to plan Williams funeral, for tomorrow.

My mum is outside. She's talking to the doctor that took my test.

Finally he goes and she comes back in. A smile on her face.

I have a lovely mum. She smiles when she finds out I have a tumour and will die by the age of 20! Yay!

"You don't have a tumour." she says.

"What?" I almost stammer.

"You don't have a tumour." she repeats.

'how is that even possible?!' Williams voice says.

He's right, how is that possible?
