Ned and Cassie were walking through the corridors at school, they stop at Cassie's locker which she opens and starts to rummage around in looking for her books.

"So... What did you do yesterday? Sorry I left you so suddenly."

"You've said sorry like a thousand times, it's fine honestly. Anyway I didn't really do much, just went up to the park." Cassie nodded her head and continued looking for books.

"Cool. I had to help my dad with the shopping. Since my mum died he's not been right, he's really emotional and he just sits and stares at the TV."

"Yeah, I remember when my dad died my mum wasn't really the same. It gets better though. And you just have to remember that they'll always be there with you." Cassie looked as though she was about to cry so she quickly shut her locker.

"Yeah, I've got to go or I'll be late but I'll see you later yeah?" she asked.

"Yeah" She ran quickly down the hall and then turned left out of sight. "Strange" Ned thought to himself. He shrugged his shoulders and walked off in the direction of his classroom. "She's probably just upset about her mum" he thought trying to justify why Cassie had just ran off nearly in tears.

Cassie and Ally were sat in the graveyard; Ally was running around with a doll while Cassie was sat by a tombstone. On the tombstone it read:

Thomas Jones

12th October 1991 – 14th February 2009

A beloved son

R.I.P

"I can't believe you're gone... I miss you so much... I'm sorry... I know you want me to tell people... I just can't... I will though... I promise... For you" Tears began to fall down her face as she remembered some of the times that she had with her boyfriend.

The ghost was stood in the corner as Mel and Jim walked through the door and into the hallway.

"Hey let me help you with those bags," said Jim taking the bags from Mel.

"Thanks," she replied as she took off her coat. Jim went into the kitchen and put them on the counter.

"She's not going to tell anyone her secret," the ghost said making himself known.

"What?" asked Mel as she turned around to face the ghost.

"You need to get her to tell you the secret."

"If I knew who you were or who you're talking about it might help."

The ghost walked out of the corner revealing him to Melinda. The man looked about 30 and was wearing jeans and a tatty t-shirt. Cuts and bruises were covering his arms and face which made Mel gasp. Jim was standing in the doorway not wanting to go any further afraid he would scare the ghost away.

"Thank you but this still doesn't really help. What's your name?" The man paused for a while and Mel hoped that he would answer. She hoped that she was not pushing im too far.

"Brian... Brian Walker," the ghost said quietly.

"Were you talking about Cassie before?" But before she could get an answer the man vanished, leaving her with lots of unanswered questions. "Great" she thought to herself. By this point Jim had walked over to her and gave her a hug.

"Did you get a name?" he asked.

"Yeah, Brian Walker but I still have no idea who he is."

"Maybe's he's a kid from the school." Mel shook her head.

"No too old, maybe a teacher though. I dunno. This is all too complicated. I'll ask Ned see if he'll talk to Cassie for me."

At that moment Brian appeared in front of her once again. She looked straight at him hoping that he would answer her question from before.

"She needs help. HELP HER!"

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

"Cassie"

"How do you know her? Are you a brother? A friend? A teacher?" Brian shook his head. He couldn't tell her, no one could ever know how he knew her.

"How do you know her then?" Brian shook his head again.

"Please tell me," Mel begged.

"She must never know," he whispered.

"What?"

"SHE MUST NEVER KNOW!" Brian disappeared, himself afraid of what he'd just said and done. Mel was about to fall over but Jim steadied her.

"Hey, you alright." Mel couldn't speak, she was in shock. Instead she just simply nodded her head.
