A/N: I'm sorry this chapter is short, I've had a lot going on including some family drama. This chapter revolves a lot around the subject of death so please don't read it if your sensitive to that topic.

JJ awoke to a bright light and quickly slammed her eyes shut. Logically she thought she was in a hospital, although she wasn't sure why. She blinked a few times and she was expecting to see bright florescent lights shining down onto a hospital bed. Instead, all she saw was light, there was nothing around her only light. JJ tried to think back to everything that happened to figure out how she got to- she wasn't really sure what to call it. The last thing she remembered was running to the rooms on the 4th floor with ben.

"I feel the intense need to slap you upside the head" a voice beside JJs head said,

JJ rolled over on her bed of light- that's the only way to describe it. Sitting next to her was a young girl with long dirty blond hair pulled back into 2 French braids, JJ recognized her immediately. Roslyn. JJ didn't know what to think, if Roslyn was there, it either meant she was dead or having some incredibly vivid dream, most likely drug induced.

JJ reached out expecting her hand to travel right through Roslyn, but when her hand reached Roslyn's chest, she felt the soft fabric of her shirt.

"I'm real, I promise" Roslyn's voice was now soft as she pulled JJs hand away from herself and holding.

"That means I'm dead doesn't it" JJ said more as a statement then a question

"Not yet, you unlike some of us have a choice" Roslyn said and stood up still holding JJs hand. "Follow me"

JJs thoughts caught up to herself and threw herself into Roslyn's arms, getting that hug she had craved everyday since she had died. Roslyn wasn't fazed and just wrapped her arms around JJ, holding her close. The sister stood there for a long time, or it at least JJ thought it was a long time, but she really had no sense of time.

They pulled away from each other and Roslyn started walking a door that seemed to come out of nowhere. As soon as the door was opened JJ was shocked. It was just a hallway, like the kind you would be in walking in a movie theater. At every door there was a scene that looked just like JJ and Roslyn; one person looking calm and the other looking confused. Roslyn led JJ down the hall to another room, this one was much less bright, it looked like a normal sitting room, Roslyn motioned for JJ to sit on the couch and she did, as well as Roslyn.

"Ok I know this is probably very confusing, but I can explain" Roslyn looked at a watch on her wrist, JJ noticed for the first time the scars that where there but didn't say anything.

"Look I have a lot to get through, and we only have 28 minutes until it's time to make a decision so try to keep up. First of all, welcome to the afterlife, it's not really heaven or hell, nothing like the places we were taught about in church. I'm not going to explain what happened and why you are here, that would take to long and you can find out later. Right now, we are in the intake building, everyone who dies- or is close to death- comes her, the whole light of a thousand suns room feels a little over the top but I don't make the rules. Since you technically aren't dead yet you can choose to stay or go back"

Roslyn gauged JJs reaction which was just a silent nod and continued speaking. "Around here is everyone who was deemed a good person, which isn't difficult to do. Everyone gets along and there's no major drama, and we can do things like this" Roslyn held out her hand and a cupcake appeared in her hand. "Comes in handy if I do say so myself. Now if not telling you to stay but if you do you get to see anyone, you'd like who has passed, you can even look down on people still alive. I did that a lot for you."

Roslyn was about to keep talking when a sudden thought popped into her head. "I want to see ash!" she blurted out.

Roslyn's face fell, "Oh honey, he's not dead"

JJ jumped up off the couch, "No that's wrong! His name is on a headstone"

"So is yours"

"But I would know if he was alive"

"No, you wouldn't. Look 'The Downstairs seriously stepped up their game. They faked the deaths of over 100 kids, they keep them on a lower level no one knows about much like the 4th floor in how it works. Your team found them, ash is alive, he's in the same hospital as you, you need to keep him safe"

"I'm going to have to go back aren't I" JJs voice cracked as she spoke.

"I think it would be best. Now before you go, I want to show you one thing before you leave." Roslyn made a remote appear in her hand and turned on the TV on the opposite wall.

On the screen there was what looked like old warehouse stuffed with people. Roslyn zoomed in on two people, their parents.

"Where's that?" JJ asked

"You know how I said everyone who died a good person was here. Well, they didn't die good people. They will get what they deserve"

"Wait they're dead, how did they die?" JJ was getting more confused by the second.

"Dad died during a shootout with the police trying to arrest him, and Mom shot herself with Dad's gun as soon as he hit the ground"

"Wow" was all JJ could bring herself to say, ever since she had gotten to the 'afterlife' she hadn't really felt any emotions.

"As much as I hate to say this its almost time for you to go" Roslyn looked at the wall as the clock appeared counting down with about a minute and a half left, she pulled JJ back over to the couch and once again pulled JJ into her arms with no intention of letting go.

"I really don't like the you being older then be thing." Roslyn said with a slight chuckle. "You don't need to do anything to go back the universe just knows. I'm always listening when you talk to me, I do regret what I did. Go for Emily. And keep ash safe." Roslyn fired off things quickly and held onto JJ impossibly later, the clock on the wall with less than 30 seconds left.

"I love you" Roslyn said

"I love you too"

And just like that JJ was once again waking up to bright lights above her. This time she knew it was a hospital.
