Under The Maple Tree

Chapter 4

I woke up in a cold room.It was very white and way too bright.A hospital room.As I looked around I slowly realized I was in a hospital room.I tried to sit up in bed but grunted in pain as I felt an extreme dull ache in my rib area.I sat there staring out thewindow.I sighed as I fell back,onto the bed.That's when I noticed a small stack of cards and a vase of flowers.I looked at the cards,opening and reading them.They were all get well soon cards.One from Molly,Lestrade,Mrs.Hudson,my sister,and finally at the bottom of the stack-a letter from Sherlock.I opened the letter and began reading.It read:'John,I'm so very regrettably. sorry.I pretended to be dead only because Moriarty threatened to kill everyone if I didn't die.I did it to save your life.So many times I have wanted to show myself to you and let you know I'm okay.I have watched over you for the years I was absent in case Moriarty tried anything.Please forgive me John.Best of luck John.'.It confused me.Who's Sherlock?And who's Moriarty?Ans the other people?Molly,Lestrade,Mrs.Hudson?I obviously knew my sister but the others were strange to me. looked up as a nurse came in with a tray of food and some medication.She set the tray down beside me aynd opened the bottle,handing me a pill."Its a painkiller to help with your concussion and broken rib.",she explained."What happened?",I asked.She looked at me."You don't remember?,she said.I shook my head.She got a worried look and rushed out,leavingme in confusion.
