His Last Vow (Sherlock x Female!Reader)

Chapter 2: A Breakup?

Later at Bart's lab, Molly is finishing her test on Sherlock's urine sample. He is standing nearby, leaning back against the central bench,mooring sulky. On the other side of the lab the young man is sitting on a side bench while Mary is wrapping a badge round his arm and Isaac is sitting nearby.

"Well? Is he clean?" John asked Molly as she takes her gloves off.

"Clean?" Molly asked as she throws her golves down. She turns and walks over to face Sherlock and slaps him hard around the face with her right hand, then slaps him again and then slaps him with her left hand justas hard. Mary, Isaac and the young man look over at her in shock as Sherlock blinks and grimaces.

"How dare you throw away the beautiful gifts you were born with? And how dare you betray the love of your friends? Say you're sorry." Mary said, angrily, at him.

"Sorry your engagement's over--though I'm fairly grateful for the lack of a ring." Sherlock replied as he holds his face.

"Stop it. Just stop it." Molly said, angrily again.

John walks over to Sherlock, face stern but his voice low. "I thought (y/n) was keeping you away from this stuff? Does she even now about this?" John asked.

Sherlock looks away from John for a moment then looks back at his friend and John notices there's a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"(Y/N) and I broke up." Sherlock said.

"What?!" John, Mary and Molly all said, in unison.

"When?" John asked, instantly.

"Few days after your wedding....we got into a big argument....and we decided to end things." Sherlock said, looking down sadly.

"Is that the real reason why you are taking this stuff?" John asked him.

"No, I told you this is all for a case." Sherlock said.

"A ca....What kind of case would need you doing this?" John asked.

Before Sherlock could respond, the door to the lab opens and you walk in carrying an evidence bag. "Molly, I need your help with...." You said as you look up and see Sherlock, John, Molly, Mary and two other guys you didn't recognize. You clear your throat and said. "Well, this is awkward."

All of you exchange awkward glances at each other before Sherlock's phone sounds off for a text. "Ah! Finally!" Sherlock exclaimed.
"Finally what?" Molly asked.
"Good news?" The scruffy looking man asked Sherlock.

"Oh excellent news--the best. There's every chance that my drug habit might hit the newspapers. The game is on." Sherlock said as he walks towards the door but not before when he walks by you he briefly gives you a sad look and you return the look back at him for a second before you look away from him. "Excuse me for a second." He said and he leaves the room.

You stand there and clear your throat again and look down at the bag and shook yourself out of your daze. "Ah, yes....Molly, I need you to runs a few tests of you don't mind. Lestrade needs it." You said as you hand her the bag. She, John and Mary are staring at you. "What? Is there something on my face?" You asked them.

"You and Sherlock are over?" John asked.

"Oh....that....um....yeah...we broke up." You said.

"Why? You two seemed perfect for each other." Mary said.

You shrugged and said. "We had a big argument and we decided....that the best way to do it was to end it."

John shakes his head and grabs your arm. "John? What are you doing?" Mary asked him.
