Hey, guys! Sorry this took so long, I've been really busy this week. Enjoy!
John spent the rest of the night and morning staring out of the window. The lights were beautiful. The street below was quiet, apart from the occasional taxi or passer-by. He was too tired to sleep. He was too tired to cry. He was too tired to do anything except stare out of the window and hope this was all a very bad dream.

At about 9 o' clock the next morning, John was snapped back to reality by a knock on the door. He kept on staring out of the window, without any intention on opening the door.
'It's me!' called Mrs Hudson from the other side of the door, 'Are you in?'
John paused for a moment, and then, still looking out the window, called, 'Come in.'
Mrs Hudson pushed open the door and saw John staring out the window.
'Oh, John,' said Mrs Hudson, 'How long have you been like this for?'
'Not long,' lied John.
Mrs Hudson made her way into the kitchen. There was the sound of the kettle boiling and crockery rattling together.
'Would you like some breakfast?' called Mrs Hudson.
'No, thanks,' replied John.
'How about a cuppa?' asked Mrs Hudson.
'He's dead.'
Mrs Hudson stopped what she was doing and took a deep breath. She made her way into the living room and sat down beside John.
'I know how you feel,' said Mrs Hudson.
No, you don't, thought John. He closed his eyes in an attempt to calm down.
'So, what have you got planned for today, then?' asked Mrs Hudson, making her way back into the kitchen.
'Nothing,' replied John.
'Oh, come on. You have to keep yourself busy. Take your mind off things,' said Mrs Hudson.
'I'd rather not,' said John.
'Tell you what. Why don't we go for lunch, hmm? Just the two of us,' suggested Mrs Hudson.
'Okay,' said John in an attempt to keep her happy.
'Great!' cried Mrs Hudson.

The next few weeks were spent mourning, staring out of the window, and having lunch with Mrs Hudson. John could feel himself slipping away. Despite everything, he was beginning to give up hope. Even Sherlock would have turned up by now.
Hope you liked that! Sorry it was so short. I'll hopefully have the next chapter up soon. Please review and let me know what you think.
