AN: Thank you so much for giving my small story so much love! It really does make me enjoy writing this a lot more. Hopefully you'll like this chapter as well as the others - criticism and comments are very welcome. Oh, and I've already got something written down, and I will say, that it stung a tiny bit in my eyes, as I wrote it. But for now, enjoy this:
October 4. 22:12
You were there, Sherlock. I don't care what Mike said. Or Harry, when she arrived.
October 4. 22:19
I should tell you they brought me to the ER, convinced I must be concussed or possibly insane.
October 4. 22:21
Of course, that is what I heard Harry mumble.
October 4. 22:27
I AM concussed. I can't remember what happened, but Mike told me, that I had run off the stool I was sitting on, yelled for Sherlock, and then started to chase the man who looked like you out of the pub, down the road, until I fell over and hit my head.
October 4. 22:30
That's when Mike had called an ambulance and Harry. I don't know which is worse.
October 4. 22:34
I was transferred to here, and I've talked to Lestrade. Apparently, the man could turn me in, but there had been nothing. He told me I was lucky nothing happened, as I already have an ASBO.
October 4. 22:37
That bloody ASBO. I would never have gotten it, had it not been for you.
October 4. 22:39
Was it you Sherlock? Did you show up at that pub tonight?
October 4. 22:41
My head hurts.
October 4. 22:45
I'm really, really tired. the rooms spinnnningg noow. Make it stoph
October 5. 10:33
I don't remember writing that last text, just that I woke up on the floor, Harry kneeling over me, looking very concerned. Which I hate.
October 5. 10:36
It wasn't so much that I had collapsed on the floor, it was more that she had read what I wrote.
October 5. 10:37
I think she worries, Sherlock. Maybe she thinks I'm ill or crazy.
October 5. 10:40
Maybe I am crazy. That would explain a lot.
October 5. 10:43
I didn't tell you; I'm home again. The hospital let me out early this morning. It took me an hour and a half to walk home.
October 5. 10:49
I feel better. I think I'll go down and visit you.
October 5. 10:51
Mrs. H's coming along. Be nice to her.
October 5. 12:01
But how could you possibly be HERE and at the pub then? YOU WERE THERE.
October 5. 12:03
I'm still certain, whatever they said. You were sitting across from me, and I don't know why but you didn't even look at me.
October 5. 12:06
God, I must seem so pathetic.
October 5. 12:09
But it's real. I know it is. You. Were. There.
October 5. 12:11
I really must be going crazy. I see your name clear as day on that stone, and yet I know it was YOU last night.
October 5. 12:13
It's like living in two worlds.
October 6. 16:09
Harry spent the night. She stared at me all evening, made sure I wasn't alone with my phone for even a second.
October 6. 16:13
She tried to make me swear, that I would stop this, this texting. I told her I would try. She asked how long I've been doing this, and the answer was scary.
October 6. 16:16
She talked about denial and wanted to stay, but I told her to leave.
October 6. 16:20
What have I done?
