Chapter 1: Back
I don't know if I can hold on any longer, I miss you so much, it hurts. I tried to tell myself that you'd be back again, but that was months ago. I have to go, I can't live with the fact that you're dead. So, I guess this is my letter. Like you said, that's what people do, right? Leave a letter? Goodbye Sherlock. -JW
John hit send on the text message as he lifted the gun to his head. As he was about to pull the trigger, Sherlock burst through the door and engulfed John in a hug. "Oh my God, John. I am sorry. I am so, so sorry. I had no clue this is what would happen to you. Please don't go, I'm back." Sherlock said into John's shoulder. John felt tears hit his neck and he suddenly started crying, also.
"Sherlock, how could you leave me like that.." he said, noticing the fragility of Sherlock's body. He obviously wasn't taking care of himself.
"I am sorry John, I had to, it was for your own safety."
"Wait a minute!" John pushed Sherlock away, "You left me alone! I was about to kill myself and you were ALIVE all along?"
"John-" Sherlock began but choked on tears, "I had to. Moriarty had men out to kill you, Mrs. Hudson, and Lestrade if I didn't jump." John kneeled down and hugged Sherlock.
"3 years, Sherlock... You left me for 3 whole years." John said as he pulled Sherlock up to sit beside him on the couch.
"I know. It was the longest 3 years of my life..." Sherlock whispered as he put his head down in his hands. Suddenly Mrs. Hudson came through the door and dropped the cup of tea she was holding.
"Sherlock, is that you?" She cried. Sherlock nodded and got up to go hug her.
I hated this chapter, but the story needed to start off somewhere, and what's better than the reunion? I was originally going to get John to punch Sherlock.
