As Sherlock marched up the stairs after the encounter with the American girl with a sodden face. He couldn't quite make up his mind about her, she had quick wit but he wasn't sure if she like him sees beyond the human facade and sees the person behind the mask of lies.

As he opened the door to his and john's flat he was still wearing a look of confusion on his face which is most likely why John cocked his head at the sight of Sherlock. 'Is everything ok how'd it go with Mr. Monroe?'

Sherlock crossed the room to pick up his violin (he processed information better when he played) and began to play, he was trying to be loud as to annoy the girl downstairs.

'Sherlock you can't just dodge the question and act like I never asked you it's obvious that something is upsetting you and I'm your friend you can tell me.' 'Good' Sherlock was immediately cut off by john, 'I swear to god if you say "good deduction John" (John said mimicking Sherlock's deep voice) I will take that violin and throw it out the bloody window'

'It's the American she told me I was wrong. Happy now?' John stifled a laugh.

'Happier that you could ever imagine, has the great Sherlock Holmes finally met his match?' and at that he no longer tried to hide his laughter 'has the little girl bullied you?' he then let out a loud burst of laughter but just as Sherlock gave him an angry scowl he stopped.

'No the great Sherlock homes has not met his match he is just aggregated with the neighbor who I might add is not a little girl but an adult, and you're starting to sound like Mycroft.'

With that he out down the violin in its polished case and walked to his room so he could go to his mind palace. Once he shut the door he heard john shout 'come on Sherlock it was a joke.'

He briefly wondered if she had a mind palace and if so would it contain deductions or delusions?

…...

It was about 4 in the afternoon when I awoke still jetlagged I assumed that it would go on for about a week or so sleeping all day awake all night.

I decided to call my sister by now my family would have realized that I run off or at least I hoped they noticed.

The morning of the day I left I was seemingly happy I got dressed in a white dress and my cap and gown. That day was supposed to signify my final day of saddens after the year I had. I was dreading seeing my friends I knew that I was leaving and that I would not see them again possibly forever. I would be leaving behind everything I had ever known and everyone I had ever cared about.

I had somehow gotten myself into the position as valedictorian my speech talked about the move to adulthood at the end I cried so did others but our reasons differed. I really was leaving behind everything and taking on adulthood.

I had it all planned out I would tell my family I was going to a party with my friends, tell my friends I was with my family.

I left a note in my room explaining why I left, I took my car to the airport and flew to London.

It probably was stupid but in the search for college I had applied to the University of London without my family's knowledge and I got in. My family thought I was to be attending LSU in Baton Rouge.

I decide to go out on the street to use a payphone so my family couldn't find me. I dialed a number I had called hundreds of times before my sister Megan.

I waited as it rung after two rings she picked up. 'Hello who is this?'

I chocked down tears as I heard her voice, 'Meg its Kathrine' I heard her sigh with relief through the phone

'God Kathrine you had us all worried your note said you left, wherever you've gone I'll come pick you up.'

I braced myself for what was about come. 'Meg I don't want you to come get me I left for a reason and that reason still stands beside it would be impossible for you to drive and pick me up.'

'What do you mean by that Kate?' I sighed 'I'm in Europe,' I heard her gasp.

'Europe Kate you've got to be kidding me come home now dads been out of his mind worried.'

'No, I can't come home I don't want to come home' I began to cry, 'I am fine I will be boing to college, I have an apartment, and a job I'll be fine. I only called to let you know that I am fine I used a payphone to call so don't try and contact me again I will call you soon but for now I've got to go. Send my love goodbye Meg.'

I hung up immediately not waiting for an answer for it would be too painful.

I walked back to the flat and opened the door. I saw Sherlock descended the stairs and I laughed he came down look immaculate and I was a red eyed puffy cheek mess.

Why do I care I thought it's not like were in any sort of relationship I wouldn't eve call us friends.

'Well someone's awake finally.' 'Yeah I've been awake for a while' I wiped a tear away and put on a smile though as not genuine.

'Do you know anywhere I can get a cheap phone from by any chance?' he took something out of a pocket and chucked it at me.

'Here have this one I have just accumulated it' upon catching I noticed it was new and expensive

'Let me guess fresh of the cadaver of a rich guy murdered by his wife for having an affair with her sister?'

He looked up at me astounded 'How on earth did you know that with only a phone as evidence?' I smiled.

'You are not the only one who picks up on things Mr. HolmesolesHolmes. The phone new and expensive but a gift but he didn't want anyone to know it, initials on the side L.H. along with initials on the other side M.D. small so as to not draw attention. That's how I got the mistress part.'

But how could you know he was rich?'

'Silk fibers caught in the seam and the screensaver him and his wife two children and his mistress (his wife's sister) a large house in the background, as the sister/mistress part he is holding his wife close but is looking at the mistress adoringly they are obviously sisters by their looks same nose same red hair its really quite obvious.'

He stares dumbfounded and in awe,' but how did you know it was the wife who did it?' '

Well if I was her and my sister was fucking my husband I'd want them both dead she killed him but you caught her before she killed her sister. Am wrong?'

He looked at me smiling and laughing to himself 'no, no, no, not at all.' I smiled and started to walk to my door

'I'm sorry but I have to unpack so I'll leave you to yourself goodbye Mr. Holmes.'

'Wait' he called and I peeked out of my door to see him standing right in front of me so close I could feel the warmth of his body.

He was significantly taller than me so my eyes were at his chest level so I had to tilt my head up to look at his face. This was the first time I could actually see him he had high cheekbones, impeccable eyes blue with sea green surrounding his pupil with good flecks scattered about, soft pink lips, and dark brown hair that curled over his forehead. I could tell he had been observing me the same way I was observing him.

My mouth opened slightly to breathe. He opened his mouth to speak and I listened and his deep voice put me in a trance.

'Please call me Sherlock I am only Mr. Holmes to my clients and you are obviously not my client as you would not need my help solving any case.' I smiled lightly.

'I certainly would not, goodnight Sherlock.' He smiled 'Goodnight Kathrine.'

With that he went up the stairs and entered his flat. I lingered at the door as I caught my breath. I closed my door and walked down the steps and plopped on my couch.

I needed to think about my family but I couldn't push the thoughts of Sherlock out of my mind.

I started to unpack though I dint bring much I put my clothes in the closet, my toiletries in the bathroom, I put up my diploma and some pictures of family and friends.

Once I was done I looked at the clock and it was 3 in the morning I then realized that I was quite tired and a bit hungry. I went to the fridge to find half a sandwich and a bottle of water I quickly ate the sandwich and went to lie down.

My bed now had sheets and pillows but I couldn't care less. I was exhausted and had quickly succumb to a deep sleep with dreams of dark curls, pink lips, and blue/green eyes.
