A/N: Hello! Hope you all liked last chapter, and YAY, Tom woke up! Here's a kind of short chapter, and I am sorry about that. I'll start 11th grade in a week (oh God!), but I should be able to update with the same frequency. Enjoy ;)
After Tom opened his eyes, and in just a few seconds, the room was invaded by doctors and nurses, telling them to go outside, as more of them got in to check on him and do more exams.
Harry, Dougie and Danny smiled as they shuffled out of the room: Tom was going to be okay.
'Call Gi! Call her right now!' Danny pulled Harry's shoulder as he screamed, a wide grin plastered on his face, as soon as they got to the hospital cafeteria. Harry took his phone out of his pocket.
'I'll get Fletch, you call her.' He said as he dialed the number, and moved to a corner, to get away from the noise. Danny did the same, taking Dougie to a table next to window, and put his phone on loud speaker.
'Danny?' Gi's tired voice sounded from the other line. The brunnete glanced mischeviously at Dougie, who seemed to understand the other's language, and gave a short nod as an answer.
'TOM WOKE UP, HE'S GOING TO BE OKAY!' The two yelled at the device, bursting out laughing right after.
'Yes! Oh my God, that is so good!' A smile could be heard in her voice. 'I'll be there in ten minutes.'
'Ok, give us a call when you arrive.' Danny hung up, and Harry arrived to the table. Danny and Dougie threw themselves at him, making a group hug, not even caring about the ther people around them, giving friendship a whole new perspective.

'Do you...um...remember anything, Tom?'
The exams had been done, and Tom's head seemed fine, apart from a moderare concussion, and the boys and Giovanna had been allowed to visit him in the room for a little while.
Tom sighed and looked down upon hearing the question. Harry squeezed his shoulder comfortingly.
'We don't want to pressure you, mate, we really don't...but we need to know.' Gi took Tom's hand in hers. Danny shook his head.
'If you don't want to-'
'I remember everything.' Tom blurted out. 'I remember you guys talking to me too. When I was in the coma.' He took a deep breath, remembering seeing Lilith, Rose, and the house on fire, and pondering in whether to tell the others or not. 'But let's not talk about it, please. It's over, right?'
'Right.' Giovanna smiled.
'When can I go home?'

'I think I discovered something rather interesting, Mr Fletcher.' Lori sat down on the sofa and took a filecase out of her bag.
'What is it?'
'Yesterday, I remembered one thing we were forgetting in the whole situation: Marie Hills.' She said. 'Lilith wanted to kill her so she could have her body, so she is obviously a crucial element in the investigation we made about this. I think it was kind of dumb from us not to get to know more about her.'
But, Lori, we did things right? I mean, Lilith is permanently dead?'
'Yes, that's not what I meant. This-' She pointed to the filecase. '-is just a little of extra information. It just helps us to understand everything better.'
'Alright then.'
'I must say I am a very sensitive person, and, after what happened to Tom, it was hard for me to stay at home and do nothing. I had to distract myself. And then I remembered Marie Hills. After visiting Tom yesterday in the hospital, I sneaked into the staff room-'
'You sneaked into the staff room?!'
'Yes, my best friend, Luke, he is a doctor and works there. I actually told him about the whole thing with Lilith, and I told him about Tom. Tom had told me that Marie was in that hospital. The moment I was going to ask to check her files, I remembered: that hospital exists since 1912. Of course, I thought the chances of it happening were minimal, if not inexistent, but there could be files containing Lilith's medical history. I asked him about it, and he said he would try and send me an email later.' Lori took a few papers out of the filecase. 'I got this email, he said files this old should have been destroyed long ago. These are scanned files, from about 1960. So probably copies from what they considered old archives at the a look.'
Fletch took about five minutes to read some documents related to Lilith's health, stopping near the end, his face pale, and his eyes wide open in fear and surprise.
'Does this mean she...'
'Like her parents, she had schizophrenia. She had hallucinations and heard voices.' Lori confered.
'It also says here she had double personality? What does this mean?' Fletch continued to read the files.
'Luke told me about that. There are cases of double personality combined with child psychosis that lead the patient to harm himself, having two personalities in conflict: the one who is harming, and the one who is telling the other to stop.' She said. 'There is a possibility that the fire was caused by her, and she closed herself in that compartiment. She did what one of the personalities made her do.'
