Say Something - Johnlock

The taxi pulled up the road across from St Barts Hospital. John stumbled out, reaching for his phone as it rang.

"Sherlock."

"Okay, look up. I'm on the rooftop."

"Oh god."

"I- I- I can't come down so we'll just have to do it like this."

"What's going on?"

"I- Moriarty. I knew he'd come for me, for you. I had to protect you. That's why I made you leave. I couldn't-"

"Sherlock, just come down."

"I can't- you're safe, he thinks you don't matter anymore. But Mrs Hudson. Lestrade. I have to save them."

"What- How?"

"I die. If I don't jump they'll be killed."

"Good God." He heard Sherlock's panicking breath rattle down the phone. "Right calm down. There must be another way."

"There isn't. Moriarty has killed himself, I have to jump!"

"Sherlock please. You said yourself you're not a hero."

"I can't just let them die John." He voice was loud and strict.

"No of course not. I just-"

"John, I want you to give my love to Mrs Hudson, to Lestrade, to Molly."

"Sherlock."

"And you. John, I love you truly, and with all my heart."

"I love you too- please-"

"Goodbye John."
