Chapter One: Im sorry Sherlock
"Sherlock stop, please. You have to listen to me, you arrogant git," John exclaimed.
Sherlock stopped and turned around. Sherlock was about to return an insult but he saw the expression on John's face and knew this wasn't petty anger coming out of John. This was a serious situation and Sherlock needed to listen.
John saw that Sherlock was finally going to listen to him and immediatly he felt guilty for what he was about to say.
"Sherlock... this case you got on... umm",
John had a lot of trouble doing this. He really didn't want to hurt Sherlock but he has to do it in order to keep Sherlock safe.
"Yeah the case about the man who was shot in broad daylight but no one saw it happen, what about it?" Sherlock asked, impatiently.
"I... I don't believe you... at all", John stated. He forced himself to say it without hesitation or regret. He held himself like a soldier but felt like a foolish jerk.
'This is all my fault" John thought to himself as he saw the look that Sherlock gave him; confusion, disbelief, and a twinge of hurt. John wanted to kick himself.
'Im sorry Sherlock, i am so sorry. But this is for your own safety' There was a long, painful silence between them, a silence that was slowly killing John.
"What do you mean, John? what is it that you do not believe?" Sherlock finally asked.
'Oh god why does he have to make this harder for me?'
" Your bloody case, Sherlock! I don't believe how you solved all those cases, i don't believe how you deduced all those random people or all those cases you solved... and i didn't believe you" John finished. His voice,no matter how hard he tried to stop it, cracked on the last sentence. He tried to give Sherlock subtle hints in his word choices that Sherlock would understand but, judging by Sherlock's expression, he didn't make the connection.
"What do you mean? You don't believe my case? you don't believe me?" Sherlock began. Sherlock could tell that something was wrong with John so he decided to play along.
"John, no offense, but you are a dreadful liar"
"No...no Sherlock. i am done with your crap! im done with your insults, im done with your laziness, your poutiness, you leaving me at crime scenes, you playing the violin at 3 in the bloody morning, shooting the wall when you're bored, severed heads in the refrigerator- i mean come on... a head, really?- shouting abuse at the telly... im done with it all"
"So, you're done with all that stuff, but does that mean you are done with me?" Sherlock asks, as if discussing the weather.
"G-Good bye... Sherlock Holmes" John's voice cracks before he could stop it. John turned around to walk away.
"John! I know you're being threatened... thats it, isn't it?" Sherlock asked sounding a bit unsure which is what got John to stop walking but he still refused to turn around.
'Come on Sherlock. Put the bloody pieces together and solve this puzzle. Let me walk away and then you realise what is really going on then you can stop these bad guys and we can go home to the flat... please'
Sherlock spread his arms out to the side and slowly spins in a circle,
"Come on then!" he shouts out to the seemingly empty streets, "Where are you hidden? you have a gun trained on my friend or threatening him with something else and, i must say, you are a fool for doing so"
"Sherlock, stop. No one is threatening me", John spins around. He tries to put some heat behind his words but he fails.
"Then who is it that they are threatening?" Sherlock inquires.
'Oh bloody hell sherlock. For once just figure this case out in your head instead of making sure the world knows it. They have a gun trained on YOU! just play along please'
Sherlock... just stop... please", his plea came out as a hoarse whisper but Sherlock still heard him.
John forced himself to turn away and left, leaving Sherlock speechless and uncertain for the first time in his life.
