Chapter 2: The Science Of Betrayal
The weeks that passed had Molly's heart break more and more. Sherlock's body had gone into a state of detox. He had a terrible fever and was constantly throwing up but she never once left his side despite the abuse that came in the thought of hurtful words and deductions that came nearly every 2 minuets,
"Please Molly... I just need a fix" he begged once more and she shook her head slowly,
"The only fix you're getting is getting you out of this state" she said in a firm yet soft tone as she rubbed his back gently coaxing him to vomit again.
It was one month into Sherlock's recovery when Molly finally saw progress as he finally got a proper appetite back, she made him a full English breakfast despite Sherlock having requested just a few pieces of toast but Molly was delighted when he didn't complain and simply enjoyed the entire plate of food without complaint.
Molly and Sherlock were enjoying some tea when Sherlock became slightly bashful,
"Could... Could you bring me my violin? I find myself craving the need to play" he explained and Molly nodded gently,
"Of course, I know how much you like to play when you're restless" she said before going and retrieving it but when she returned to his room she hesitated as she held the instrument in her arms,
"What's wrong?" Sherlock asked and Molly looked at him with a sad expression,
"It's my turn to make a deduction" she said plainly and Sherlock became slightly agitated,
"Molly" he began warningly but she interrupted,
"My dad used to play violin and he even taught me how to play one. He was an expert in this particular string instrument and I guess you could say that he passed that expertise onto me and if I know anything then I know that you're violin is precisely 2 grams too heavy than the average violin" she explained firmly before sliding her hand across the bottom of the instrument causing a secret slot to open and Sherlock closed his eyes guiltily as two small bags of white power fell into Molly's open palm,
"Suppose this is just sugar for the tea?" she asked angrily and Sherlock sighed,
"Molly I never meant..." he tried but molly shook her head before tossing the violin along with the bow onto the bed,
"Never meant what Sherlock?... Weeks I have endured your tantrums, your insults. I have soothed every fever and have done everything I can to make this as easy as it can be for you and all you can... bloody think about is heading into that stupid drug fuelled mind palace of yours" she ground out trying to hold back tears and Sherlock tried to approach but she shook her head,
"Don't bother Sherlock... Just don't bother" she said, tossing the two small bags onto his bed next to the violin,
"Just... do me a favour Sherlock... Just delete me" she murmured and walked out the room,
"Molly!" Sherlock called out but only heard the door to the flat of 221B Baker Street slamming behind her.
Oh dear, Sherlock's really done it this time. Can he overcome his addiction without Molly there to help him? Will Molly come back and forgive him?
