Life is a constant tornado of chaos.
One moment I'm having the time of my life, the next I'm  about to jump off a roof to save the ones I love.

My enemy, the one who started it all. James Moriarty. A criminal mastermind. The only one who could match my intelligence. Stood on the roof with me, waiting for me to make a decision. Do I jump? Or do I let my friends die?

It seems like a stupid question, to end your own life or kill your friends. But when so many thoughts are running through your mind, would you have time to stop and think it through?

My mind flowed with thoughts, ideas and memories. I finally decide on a plan. I look to the side to be met with a motionless Jim lied beside my feet. I look at him, eyes filled with hatred. I stepped into the ledge and reached for my phone.

"Hello John."
"Sherlock? Sherlock what's going on? Why are you on the roof"
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry"
"What the bloody hell are you talking about?"
"I'll see you soon I promise...just stay right there."
"Sherlock..."

I dropped my phone off the edge and my body soon followed. I saw my flat mates face as I fell.  Regret surged through my body as everything seemed to be moving in slow motion.
I watched my body hit the floor.

I watched my friend, my love, my John, run towards my double. He cried and screamed for me to come back. But I couldn't. So I ran.

Flash forward to my funeral. I watched behind a tree as Mrs Hudson walked away from John giving him time alone.

"Hey Sherlock, I miss you... oh and I love you. Just thought you should know. Look..
I just want you to do me one favour, one last miracle. Don't be...dead."

I tear roll down each of our faces, perfectly in sync. Even if I don't see my John again...at least he'll know,

I'm not dead. I can't return yet, but I'm not dead -SH

Little did Sherlock know that that one message would change the course of history. The one change was

John waited for him.
