Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

What Are We?

It had been two months since you'd been to the police station with Benedict and Oliver and everything was starting to look up for you. Steven had been prosecuted for attemptive rape and your mum had been referred to a physiatrics hospital for medical attention as she was described as the nurse as being 'emotionally unstable' which you already gathered.   
You and Benedict had been inseparable since the incident and honestly you didn't have a problem with it at all but you just weren't ready to move forward in terms of your relationship with Benedict, especially seeing as you still hadn't had the time or effort to break up with Simon yet. Your friends had all been very supportive of you and came with you to the court dates and such, you appreciated having them so much, even though you knew that you didn't tell them enough.

"Hey" Bonnie interrupts you from your daydream by walking past you, sat on the sofa as she walks through to the kitchen.

"Oh hey"'you reply, zoning back to reality. You get off the sofa and follow Bonnie into the kitchen.

"You were well away with the Fairies there- what were you thinking about?" She asks, smiling to you. You shake your head as she puts the kettle on to make you both a drink.

"Nothing" you reply casually. Bonnie shrugs as she continues to make the drinks. You lean against the worktop

"I guess I was just thinking about how- I don't know,relieved I am" you say, messing with your fingers. Bonnie smiles to you.

"Me too" she replies calmly.

"I've been having the best nights sleep ever recently, I think it's just having closure" you reply. Bonnie walks over to you and wraps her arms around your neck.

"It's all over now" she mumbles into your hair. You smile and nod into her shoulder. 

"I've spent years thinking about where he is and thinking about mum, it's just the best feeling knowing that they're both where they belong" you reply softly. Bonnie holds you tighter.

"And what's better, they're both nowhere near you" Bonnie replies, letting go off you and returning back to making her brews. You smile and nod.

"I know"
you suddenly feel your eyes water, you wipe under them, smiling. Bonnie turns to you with a worried expression.

"Hey what's wrong?" She asks, placing her hand on your arm. You shake your head and smile.

"I'm just really happy that this is all over- I can't wait to get back to normal and finally move past this and start my life properly. It feels like this is my new start" you reply. Bonnie smiles back, her eyes watering.

"You've set me off now" she replies, laughing slightly, tapping you on the arm before she wipes her eyes.

"Can I not just make a cup of tea without having a nervous breakdown?" She jokes. You laugh.
-
You, Bonnie, Gaby and Oliver had all decided to go and watch Benedict working on set, seeing as you were all inseparable at the minute. Walking down your road, you were all starting to get followed by the paparazzi because you were with Benedict that much, your names were starting to go round.

"There's another one, strike a pose" Oliver jokes, nudging you. You shove him slightly, laughing. Oliver looks at the camera and pouts dramatically, making you laugh.
