It has been a month since that fateful day, when I was graced with this new life, Things have not been a walk in the park though, but considering what my life was like before It’s a 100% improvement. The doctor has finely cleared me to return to cheerleading, though I am not really sure it is for me.
My friends all seem to want me there and I do have fun while we are together, but there is still this piece inside of me that feels empty and I am not really sure what it is. It’s like something inside me is expecting something bad to happen, maybe it is the dreams that I have been having.
At first, I thought that it was but a one time thing, but every time I relive the last moments of Sarah’s life, I am afraid that I will not wake up. This has affected me in almost all areas of my life.
I have found myself snapping at people that I care about mostly because of my lack of sleep, Mom and Dad have been trying to talk me into seeing a doctor, but to be honest, I hate those quacks.
I had spent years seeing them when I was John and what good did they really do for me, but they are my parents and I would do anything for them, so I agreed to see the doctor.
“Sarah pay attention yelled Mrs. Harris our Gym coach.”
“I am sorry Mrs. Harris; guess my mind was somewhere else”
“That’s fine Sarah but try to stay in the here and now at least until practice is over”
Mrs. Harris was right, if I wasn’t careful someone was going to get hurt, either me of one of the other girls. Cheerleading always looked so easy, but looks can be deceiving. There are plenty of ways that one can get hurt especially when doing a pyramid, one bad grip or stance could send someone falling.
“It’s alright Sarah, you will get it.”
“Thank Amy, but I am not really sure that this is for me anymore.”
“Don’t say that Sarah, it would not be the same here without you.”
“I am committed till the end of the season, so I am not going to quit, but I think that I might try something else next year.”
Where we finishing practice, Megan invited me over to her place; once the two of us were alone in her room, she turned to me and said, “What is going on Sarah, you haven’t been yourself now for weeks?”
“Nothing Megan, I am just having nightmares and it’s affecting my sleep.”
“What are they about?”
“I keep reliving the car crash.”
“Maybe you need to talk to someone about it; you have been through a lot lately."
“Mom and Dad said the same thing; I just don’t see what talking about it is going to do.”
“I just want to forget everything that happened and move on.”
“Maybe that is the problem Sarah, you are trying to act like what happened hasn’t bothered you and the truth is you died and came back."
I thought about what Megan said it was true, Sarah and John both died that day and I am sure Sarah wanted to live just as much as John. Maybe everyone is right that I needed to talk to someone about things, but how could I really be honest with a doctor?
The truth was unbelievable; it made me think about how things were after John tried taking his life as a teenager and how he had no one that he could talk to about what was really wrong.
“Megan there are things that you don’t know about me. And to be honest, if you did, I am afraid you would think that I was crazy and I would loose you as a friend. But it is so hard keeping the truth from you. I have never felt closer to anyone then I do with you and the thought of loosing you is more then I can bare.”
“Sarah there is nothing you could say or do that would ever make me not want to be your friend, we're sisters and always will be.”
I thought about what she said, could I trust her with my secret? I was so afraid of loosing everything that I had but being completely alone with no one to turn to was a thought I didn’t want to deal with. I knew she loved Sarah as a sister and deep down I felt the same way for Megan.
“Megan, do you remember the talk that we had, when you said that I seemed like two different people?”
“Yes I do Sarah, but what does that have to do with anything?”
“I am not the same person that you knew, I don’t how it happened but I woke up in Sarah’s body and over time found that I also had access to her memories and her feelings.”
“I don’t understand, if you are not Sarah then who are you.”
“My name was John Stevens, and I died from a brain tumor.“
Megan just stared at me, for a few minutes trying to make sense of what I had just told her. I could tell she was trying to figure out if this was a big joke, then she turned towards me, “If you are here, then where is Sarah?”
“I think the real Sarah died, the doctors don’t really know how I am even alive, but by some miracle her body repaired itself, and then I woke up in her place.”
Megan looked at me as if trying to figure out what to say then turned to me,“I am not sure what to believe, you do seem different, but I can still see my best friend."
“That is because I have her memories and everything that she felt I also feel inside. She loved you like a sister Megan, and when she left, I inherited those feelings along with the feelings that she had for Adam.”
Megan looked lost in thought for a few minute, taking in everything that I had told her, it was a few minutes before she spoke again. Then she turned to me, “Sarah, this is all a little hard to believe, but I also know you well enough that you wouldn’t make up something like this. You never had a sick sense of humor, I think you really believe what your saying, but I can’t believe that it's true.”
I knew that there was only one way that I could prove to her that I was not crazy and turned to her and said, “Megan, it is true and I can prove it.”
“How? asked Megan.
“If you get your dad's guitar, I will show you something.”
Megan left for a few minutes then returned and handed it to me,“The real Sarah was just starting to play right, Megan?”
“Yeah she could barely play.”
“I started playing The Climb by Miley Cyrus and as I played the song I sang the lyrics.”
I had never played the song before but had heard it so many times on the radio that I was able to play it all the way though and only struggled with a couple of the cords, but only a musician would really have noticed that I was playing using the wrong cords. When I finished I continued into another song called Beautiful by Christine Aguilera. That one I had played plenty of times and could play it right though without any trouble.
When I finished playing the songs I sat the guitar down on Megan’s bed, and looked over at her, and could see the shock in her eyes, “I have been playing for years Megan, if you name the song I can most likely play it”
“Alright, I believe you. But I still don’t understand how any of this is possible.”
“That makes two of us, Megan.”
“Why tell me though, you could have just continued and no one would have known?”
“Megan, you are like a sister to me. I needed someone that I could trust, you don’t know how hard it’s been, I felt so alone and had no one to turn too.”
“It must have been hard for you going from being a guy to a girl over night, but you carry yourself really well, almost like you have been one all your life, is that because of Sarah’s memories?”
“Not really. Her memories do help when it comes to certain things, but I lived for 40 years as a man, but inside, I had always been a woman. There was nothing I could do about it. You see, even if I had tried, I would never have passed, I wanted to look like a woman and not a man pretending to be one.”
“I don’t think that you should tell anyone else Sarah, most people wouldn’t believe you and if your parents found out they would likely send you to a doctor, and god knows they might end up hospitalizing you.”
I thought about what Megan had said, she was right, even telling her was a risk but in the end it was worth it. I now had someone that I could confide in and no longer felt so alone, she knew the truth now and seemed to accept me.
“I can see now Sarah, why you were so hesitant when it came to dating Adam?”
“Adam is a great guy Megan, and when I am with him I can’t help but love him. I don’t really know anymore if the feelings that I have are Sarah’s or mine, but deep down It doesn’t really matter. I love him and he loves me, that is all that matters.”
“You are right, Sarah, he does love you and who knows, and someday I may end up being a bridesmaid when the two of you get married.”
“Well Megan, I better get going, Mom should have supper almost done.”
“Alight, Sarah. I will see you at school tomorrow and thanks, I know it was hard for you too tell me the truth but I appreciate your honestly, and if you need me I am here.”
“Thanks, Megan I will see you tomorrow.”
I felt much better as I walked home, Megan was still my friend, and I knew that her loosing Sarah was hard, but part of Sarah would live on through me. Megan and I would always be like a sister now at least that was how I felt.
Sitting in an office on the other side of town is a woman; she is typing something into her computer when her phone rings.
“Hi, Anna," says the woman calling.
“Hi Vicky, do you have anything to report”
“I have been watching her Vicky, but at the moment. I have nothing to report.”
“Anna, shouldn’t we have seen something progress by now?" asked Vicky.
“Nothing like this has been done before, it could take time before we see results.”
“I think that we made a mistake Anna, we should never have waited.”
“Maybe Vicky, but it’s to late now, we are already committed.”
“Do you want me too bring her in, Vicky?”
“No Anna, call Carol, she can do a scan and tell us what we need to know.”
“Vicky, Sarah may not be strong enough, the last thing we need right now is to loss her.”
“We need to know, it’s been over a month Anna. If we wait god knows what will happen.”
“Alright Vicky, but I think bringing Carol in is a mistake, but that is up to you, I will keep and eye on here and call you back, bye Vicky.”
Anna types into her computer Status of “John Stevens / Sarah Tanner Unknown”
Caroline Connors is being brought in and a Scan has been authorized.

Mind transfer? Brain Transfer? Spirit Transfer? The Brain transfer is not likely. The last two, well .....
