Chapter 53

Will met with Dr Stephens at the hospital the next day where he explained his dream to her. She listened and scribbled notes down in her pad.
"Have you tried documenting these dreams?" She asked him. Will shook his head.
"I'm not sure how that is meant to help me" Will replied. She closed her pad and placed it on her lap.
"I think you need to write down all the details about theses dreams that you remember so you can read them back to yourself" The doctor explained. "That way you are looking at them as only story's and not something you have experienced" She used the term 'experienced' loosely here because it was only a dream.

By the end of the conversation, there was no family mentioned and Will had his place back and his A-Levels to complete. He felt happy that he could continue normally and even more happy that nothing was mentioned about his mum. Will knew that there would probably be people that rembered what happened but hopefully after a year they had forgotten.

"Apparently you arnt the only one resitting the year either, so you won't be alone" She replied,  more chipper than when she last spoke.
"Did you get told who?"Will asked, hoping it wasn't a former bully.
"Its a friend of yours they said,
