Coping.

A/N this is the sequel to Blind if you haven't read that yet well don't read this. You can read this as slash but it is a friendship that is what I write.

The song is I'm Scared by Duffy.

Chapter One

John sat with a shock blanket around his shoulders. What's this blanket? They keep putting this blanket on me!

It's for shock

I'm not in shock!

Sherlock arguing with Lestrade that he was fine and could he please just leave. Their first case. There would be no more cases. No more Sherlock Holmes.

The blank pages of my diary that

I haven't touched since you left me

The closed blinds in my home see no light of day

Dust gathers on my stereo cuz I can't bear to hear

The radio

The piano sits in a shady space with a picture

Of your face

I'm scared to face another day cuz the fear

In me just won't go away in an instant you were gone

Now I'm scared.

Coffee stains on your favourite book remind me of you

So I can't take a look

The magazines you left on the floor, you won't read them

Anymore

A towel left hanging on the wall, no sign, no wet footsteps

In the hall

There's no smell of your sweet cologne I'm lying here alone

I'm scared to face another day cuz the fear

In me just won't go away in an instant you were gone

Now I'm scared.

In an instant you were gone I'm scared.

I need you

Can't I have a date with Sarah, you know a date where two people who like each other go out and have fun

That's what I was suggesting

No it wasn't at least I hope it wasn't

"Idiot!" John cursed himself as he heard every time he yelled or criticised Sherlock.

There are lives at stakes here Sherlock actual human lives just, just so I know do you care about that at all?

Will caring about them help save them?

Nope

Then I will continue not to make that mistake
