"What's going on?" Sebastian asked as we drove down the road. "He saw someone else." I muttered."Like, how?" He asked. "Like fucking saw some other woman and probably had a thing with her." I said angrily. Sebastian sighed. "I'm sorry. Is that why he had been acting strange?" He said. "I guess. I don't want to talk about him any more." I said. "Okay. I'm so sorry. I'll talk to him abou-"

"No. Don't. It's done." I said looking at the sky through the window.

The ride back was silent after that.

We arrived at Sebastian's apartment. "Hey why doesn't James just buy you your own house?" I asked following him to the front door. "I keep a low profile." He said offering to take my suitcase. "No I got it." I said, but he reached for it as I began to haul it up the stairs and he grabbed my hand along with it. I let go and he took it walking up the stairs. We reached the upstairs lobby with the lift.

Once we were inside the lift he pressed number 18 and we waited. He lived pretty high up.

We got inside his apartment and he pulled my suitcase into a bedroom. I followed him inside and said, "Isn't this your room?" I asked. He shrugged. "You can sleep here i'll take the sofa." He said. "No come on, I will. I intruded on yo-"

"You are the guest. I am the host. I decide." He said. "Fine." I said sighing. I looked around the room and sat on his bed. "Sebastian, there's something I want to do." I said. "Go on?" He said. "I want to look for trouble but stop it." I said. "What? Listen, I'm going to keep you safe. I'm not letting James-"

"Enough about James, please! I just want to do something to take my mind of things." I exclaimed standing up. I began to walk out his apartment. I head Sebastian run after me and I knew he had no choice but to come with me. I grinned and got in the lift and he made it just in time.

"So, where are we going?" He asked sighing rubbing his forehead. "A little place I know we can investigate. I know here are always criminals in that particular place." I smirked.

"Hey, you're going to get hurt or something." He said. "Hey, relax. I'm perfectly capable." I said.

We soon arrived in the outskirts of London and we walked around the dark streets slowly. I heard shouting coming from a building and went inside. "Charlotte. Wait." He whispered.

I walked into the building and found two men arguing. They kept shoving a bag to each other, back and forth. "Dude, I ain't getting into this shit again. I'm not going down for this again." One guy said. I listened and Sebastian caught up with me. "Charlotte can we please stop." Sebastian sighed.

Suddenly we heard police sirens and Sebastian dragged me out the building. "Charlotte. Can we please go home. You are being a bit reckless, so lets do this tomorrow or something yeah?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and moved away from him.

"You're trying to control me like he does." I said annoyed. "Listen to you. You don't even sound like yourself." He said grabbing my hand and walking away. I followed but sighed. "I am done with him. I don't-" I stopped as I heard shouting. Sebastian continued to drag me to the car. "Get in." He said. I opened the door but someone grabbed me from behind. I struggled and Sebastian noticed and quickly ran to me. I elbowed the person in the stomach and he let go of me. Sebastian pulled me behind him.

He grabbed the guy and held his shirt tightly. "Go away. Now. Before I call the police." Sebastian said angrily. He shoved the guy and the guy ran away.

"Thanks." I said. "That is exactly why I didn't want you out here. You are so stupid sometimes. You're an idiot. You know that? He could have hurt you or worse, killed you!" Sebastian said wiping the sweat from his forehead. I looked to the floor and sighed. "I'm sorry. You're right I shouldn't of done that. I'm sorry." I muttered.

I suddenly felt big arms wrap around me. He hugged me tightly and I couldn't move as he was holding my arms shut. He let go and said, "Sorry for getting mad. You scared me. Just, next time you listen to me. Okay?" He said. "Fine." I said. With that we both got in the car and went home.

The next day I woke up on the sofa. I purposely fell asleep on the sofa whilst watching a movie so Seb could sleep in his own bed.

"Oh. I see you're awake." I looked up and saw Sherlock above me. "Hello brother." I smiled still tired.
"Hello dear sister. I need you to do something for me." He said. "Of course." I answered. "Sebastian, John and I want you to go back to Moriarty." He announced. "What!?" I said standing up. "No way. You don't know what he did."

"Oh but I do. And you will be much safer there. You are an easy target for those who want to get revenge on James. You will go back to him and sort it out like adults. You mustn't run away from your problems." He said. "Oh but that's the only thing I'm good at right now. I hate his guts." I said. "No you don't." John sighed walking in the room. "God. Let's all gang up on Charlotte today! I'm not going back. I refuse to go back to that b-" there was a loud knock at the door and Sebastian opened it. Lestrade and Anderson walked in.

"I told you. It lead right in here." Anderson said. Lestrade rolled his eyes and a few policemen came in and began to search the area. I put my hands on my waist annoyed and tired. "What brings you here Lestrade?" John said. "Trails of drugs leading to this apartment. Just a procedure I have to take. I'm sure there's nothing here." Lestrade said. I sighed and watched as the policemen looked around the apartment. I put my hand in a pocket of my jeans and suddenly I felt something small in my left pocket. There was also a hole in that pocket too. I swallowed hard. The drugs were in my pocket... How the hell did that happen.

I slowly walked off and went into the bathroom locking the door. I took the small packet out of my pocket and threw it into the toilet. I then flushed and I washed my hands. I bit my lip and realised the guy who attacked me yesterday must have been trying to frame me for the drugs.

I returned to the room and the policemen were patting people down. A policeman came over and started checking me. I hope he didn't find anything I got rid of the drugs. This was all my fault if I hadn't have gone to that stupid place this wouldn't have happened. "Found it Lestrade." The policeman said. He pulled out another packet of drugs from my other pocket. "Charlotte?" John said shocked. "Wait. This isn't mine. I swear, it's-"

"Nice try. I can see in your other pockets remnants of cocaine. the policeman said.
"And we can test this for DNA. You're under arrest, for suspicion of holding and/or taking drugs." Lestrade sighed as the policeman hand cuffed me. "Lestrade surely there's another way." Sebastian pleaded. "You may not speak however if you do, anything you say may be held against you in court." Lestrade carries on. He shook his head and then took me and escorted me out.

"Lestrade. Please, you know I'd never do such a thing. Come on! Someone put it there!" I begged. He opened the at door and told me to get in. "Lestrade.." I pleaded. "In now!" He said loudly. I did as I was told and watch John, Sherlock and Sebastian stand there as I was driven away.

Nothing ever goes right for me, because I'm such an idiot.
