Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock Holmes. Would this be a fic otherwise? Naw, it'd be reality Bruv.
A/N: WOOT! First fic, Hopefully it'll meet your standards. Let's hope it doesn't make people, myself included, cringe with the horribleness of it okay?
Prologue
"I can't do it any-more John." Sherlock said.
Although he wouldn't show it, John was sure he could see doubt and fear in his eyes. And considering Sherlock Holmes was widely known for his condescending nature and completely devoid of any emotion at all, this was a huge worry for him.
"Sherlock, listen to me. I know this isn't what you want to hear but you have to trust me, it will go away. You just need time to heal, what you experienced was nothing anyone should have to go through, what Mycroft told you was a very serious matter. Noone expects you to behave differently, not even the great Sherlock Holmes can hold his oh-so-convincing façade in a situation like this."
John tried to comfort him, even though he could see plainly it wasn't working at all. Sherlock Holmes was not easily convinced.
"John, try to understand what I'm about to tell you."
"Sherlock? Are you okay?" John asked, masking the rising panic he now felt in his chest.
"I'm leaving."
That was it, straight to the point. No emotion. Just those two words. The feeling of panic he had experienced on his chest erupted into an all out volcano of anxiety and worry. As much as he tried, John Hamish Watson just could not understand why he would leave. Of course the recent events had been particularly disturbing, but was it enough to leave?
To leave behind everything he had?
His friends?
His family?
He couldn't get his around the fact that he was leaving. He just sat there, pale and openly shocked and quite frankly disturbed by this sudden decision in Sherlock that he barely noticed the words...
"Goodbye, John."
...and the closing of a door in front of him.
That was it, the last he would ever see of William Sherlock Scott Holmes.
A/N: So, What did you think? Was it bad? *nervous* Anything I could maybe improve on? After all, that's why the review system is in place, soooo...
