'Knock Knock'

"Boy's it's me.."

Simone said on the other side of Bill's bedroom door.

"Are you awake?"

Tom looked over at the door with sleepy eyes, as a tired eyebrow raised.
Yet again he was in a up-right position as usual in Bill's bed.
It's been atleast a week and Tom still refused to sleep because of the unknown threat
that was out to get Bill, plus whenever he did drop off he would always wake up in cold sweat
crying, the angel's just would leave him alone.
All he wanted was to sleep but he knew he couldn't or the worst was to happen.
As for Bill, he was dozing in and out of sickness.
Some days he was fine and then the next he would be sick and tired,
like last tuesday he couldn't move a muscle because he was that weak..
Then the next day he was completely fine.
But today wasn't his day..

Tom turned into his human form, prepared for Simone to walk in.
He looked down at the small tired boy and brushed a piece of hair away from his pale face.

"Bill, your mum is at the door."

No reply.

"Bill?.."

"Is he alright?"
Simone over heard, as she opened the door and peered in.

"Come in simone." Tom said with a soft tone.

At first Simone was a little shocked that Tom was in the same bed as Bill was,
but then again, maybe it was because Tom was keeping Bill company, after all he was ill.
So she took no noticed and sat down on the bed too next to Bill.

"Bill... Sweety are you alright?"

Tom looked over him carefully.
He was sweating and was as pale as a ghost... Ironic much..
But he seemed to be breathing steadily and easily.
Tom took a flannel that was on his bedside and that was now used
the other previous nights when Bill was ill and dabbed it gently on Bill's face.

"Oh Thomas." Simone whimpered. "Iam so worried about my boy, he's never been like this."

"Hey don't worry Simone.. I'll take him to the doctors if he's better later."

Simone smiled sweetly. "Thankyou Thomas your a star, looking after my boy.
I don't know what I'll do without you these day's."

Tom just smiled back then looked back at Bill.
He just looked so tired.. And drained. Who knew what he was coming down with.
Tom's thought's wondered for a while before Simone rested her hand on his shoulder.
He snapped out of it.

"You look so tired Tom." She said sadly. "You've become extremely dark under the eyes."

"No.. Iam okay, don't worry about me."

"I bet this little fellar here that's been keeping you up all night." She said while looking down at Bill.

"Yeah well, I just want to do what I can to make him better."

"You a very good person Tom, you know that?"

"Thankyou Simone." He blushed slightly at her kind comment.

"You actually remind me of an old friend of Bill's. His name was 'Tom' too, but he-"

"Past away?" Tom said sadly.

"Yeah... Has Bill spoken about him?"

"Yeah... He really misses him.. I don't blame him either.. After what Bill told me
he seemed like a real hero..."

"He was." Simone sighed. "He gave Bill strength to be who he is today..."

Tom looked down at Bill and smiled sweetly as he stroked his soft hair.
Making Bill smile in his sleep. Tom giggled.
Simone looked too. She could see the love and affection Tom had for Bill.
It made her smile.

"Can I ask you something?" She spoke up.

"Anything."

"What do you see in my son?"

Tom froze at Simone's question. What did he see?..

"I see everything.." He whispered. "I see happyness, laughter...... Love...
I see the world Simone..."

Simone smiled.
She knew Tom had feeling for Bill. And she was more
then happy for the two to be together.

"I thought so." She smiled. "And you know what else?.."

Tom looked at her, and waited for what she was about to say.

"That's exactly what Bill's old Tom said to me... And that was many years ago..
When he was still alive.."

Tom went silent, as he felt his heart go numb...
He really didn't know how to feel.. What did this mean?

"But.. That doesn't mean Iam his Tom, the one that past awa-"

"Why not?"

"Well because he died many years ago, and Iam aliv-"

"I believe in ghost's Tom..."

Tom froze. What was Simone trying to say?
Did she know that he was already dead? Did she know he was a ghost?
Perhapes she caught his in his ghost form.
He cursed himself for that. He wished that he was more careful.

And yet... At the same time he didn't really regret it because.. She wasn't afraid.

Before he could ask Simone gave him a sweet smile and left the room,
leaving Tom completely confused with many questioned to ask,
and many of them to be answered.
But the bigger question was, was Tom really Bill's long lost friend?

---

"Come on!" Tom shouted as he ran through the unknown forest. "Where going to take a short-cut!"

Tom was so confused, where was he running? And where was he?
He tryed to stop, but he couldn't control his body.
It was like watching a film as one of the character.

He felt as if someone was holding onto his hand behind him,
as he was leading him the way through the white forest. But where was he leading him?

Suddenly they both stopped at a cliff side finally.

"Shit... We must of took a wrong turn" Tom spoke up.

"So were lost!?"

Tom finally looked round at the person that he was leading.
He was a small boy with short black hair that sat on the snowy floor with his arms folded,
looking like a stubborn young teen.

Then it dawned on him. It was Bill..

Tom looked away again towards the cliff.
He didn't understand what was going on.

"Look's like it." He sighed.
"Bill.... Iam really sorry.. Look's like we just hav-"

"TOOOOM!!"

Tom spun around to see Bill being dragged away by a bear.

---

"AHHHH!!!"

"THOMAS IT'S ALRIGHT! TOM!!"

Tom woke up to see Simone looking over him
with worried eyes.

"Oh my goodness are you alright!?"

"Yeah Iam fine." Tom said still a little in shock.

"You poor thing. What happened?!"

"Nothing it... It was just a nightmare..."

Tom suddenly looked around to see no sign of Bill.

"Where's Bill?"

"He's down stairs having breakfast."

Tom dragged himself out of bed and made his way downstairs
followed by Simone into the kitchen where Bill was sitting at the table eating cereal.

"Hey Tomi.." He said with a rough tone, like he had a bad cold.

"Heyy Billa... How are you feeling?"

"Urm a little better.." He smiled.

Tom took a seat next to him and gave him a quick hug.

"Billa?.. Do you think it will be alright if I took you to the doctors today?"

Bill frowned, He hated the doctors,
but he knew it couldn't be worse then feeling this sick.

"Okay.." he said weakly.

Tom smiled and gave him another hug as Simone smiled
in the doorway watching the two boys.

"We'll go to the doctors when your dressed and ready."
