14. Chapter Thirteen

After about a week John was up and kicking again. His first day back at school was rather intimidating. He spent the whole day looking for Sherlock, while at the same time, avoiding Jim at all costs. The one time he did see Sherlock, Sherlock immediately left the room.

Sherlock continued to ignore John for the rest of the week.

Friday after school, John decided to text him.

Are you alright? You didn't talk to me at all this week. Did I do something? 3:46PM

It would be best if you and Sherlock Holmes no longer communicated, Mr. Watson. Please erase this number from your contacts. –MH 3:48PM

John almost let the phone drop out of his hands. He looked at the message for a good five minutes before he took it into realization.

"Sherlock…"

John felt his heart physically shatter.
