Under The Maple Tree

Chapter 7

Later,I was in a small silver car with Jim."So what have I done so far?",I asked.He glanced over and flashed a smile."Lets see...became an unofficial detective,tried commiting suicide,dated a few girls,became friends with a sociopath,....nothing too exciting.",he said..He stopped the car at 221B Baker Street.He locked the doors,looked around,and gave me a very stern face."John,be careful.This Sherlock guy you live with is dangerous.He doesn't know I know,but he's planning to kill you.But the police won't believe me.Don't trust Sherlock.He'll try anything to seperate you from your friends so he can get you alone and kill you.He's even got severed heads in the fridge.",he warned.I nodded,mortified."Thanks Jim.",I said as I got out.I slowly went up the stairs.I knocked on the door and moments later,Sherlock opened it.He was wearing a blue robe-I doubt there was anything under it.He looked down and stepped aside,letting me in.He flopped onto the couch and put his hands under his chin-again,was he praying?I shook my head a bit and found my way to my room.I looked inside and walked in.Coffee cups,beer cans,papers,clothes,and files were strewn everywhere and small flecks of yellow paint was on the right wall.I opened the dresser and pulled out a black and white striped sweater wit beige pants.I walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower,inhaling as the steam reached my face.It cleared my head and sinusus.I undressed and got in,picking up the shampoo and dumping the cold,slimy,soapy-smelling shampoo on my head.I washed my hair and body and was just about to get out when I peeked my face out of the shower.My wet hair went into my face and I pushed it back,about to grab the towel.That's when I noticed Sherlock.He was sitting on the toilet seat watching me with surprised eyes.He had a wire or something in his hand,connected to a black box.I jumped out of my skin when I realized I was bathing-NAKED-and Sherlock was watching.Thankfully though,he only saw my face.I hastily tried grabbing the towel,but I fell forward,slipping over the shower curtain she's falling to the floor.I dragged it down with me,trying to twist to avoid falling on Sherlock,but only got tangled in the curtain.I smacked onto the floor,a pool of water dripping onto the floor and the blue shower curtain around me like a dress.I groaned in pain and the towel slid off the hanger,falling over my face.I huffed in annoyance and took it off my face.I looked over at Sherlock,who was still sitting there with big eyes and his mouth in the little 'o' shape."SHERLOCK!!OUT!",I instructed.He ragged out,giggling.I sighed and got dressed,coming out later and shuddering.I passed Sherlock,who had bleeding hands."Sherlock what happened?!",I asked worriedly.He was staring down at them as if he was confused he was bleeding.He held them out."Fix it.It hurts.",he instructed.I rolled my eyes and looked closely at them."Sherlock how hid you get glass under your skin?",I asked.He still looked at them."Well I wanted to see what would happen to a lightbulb if I...",he said before I cut him off."Whatever.Ill be right back.",I said.I came back with tweezers and pulled out glass chunk after chunk.Soon enough,he was all patched up."Alright there you go.",I said."And WHY were you in the bathroom with me?!!!??",I nearly yelled.He looked down and whined like a little kid."I wanted to see if the water vapor in the air would carry an electrical chargeeeee!!",he whined.I rolled my eyes and went to the kitchen for tea.'Jim was right.He.is.INSANE.',I thought to myself.Just then,I heard a large crash in the living area.I sighed and rubbed my face,scared of what I might find next.
