So after I went home I got cleaned up and put my maroon dress and curled my hair and slipped my heels on. I was going out to dinner with John. Sherlock was out of town with Lestrade for the moment, I was not asked to go. I became upset with that so I needed a night out with my only friend who was rational about Sherlock Holmes. Instead of talking to him about Sherlock the whole time to spill information about Elsa's return.

I took and cab to a nice Steakhouse named Portabella's Mushrooms. I walked into the resturant and looked around for John. He was waiting at a table. I told the waitress my friend was already here and walked to his table.

"Hi, John." I say sitting.

"Ah, hello Veronica."John replys "What's going on at Baker Street?"

"Drama and hell. Sherlock is utterly rude!" I say spilling my anger to John. "He went off to who knows where with Lestrade to investigate and solve a case hours away without me! Not even telling me he left! I'm begging to think I don't belong with him."

John takes a sip of wine and pours me a glass. As we wait to order we talk. He responds "Sherlock hasn't ever had someone like you. He and I were very close but not like you both are now. You and him feel a feeling I have with Mary my wife. You love him. He loves you, or it wouldn't have lasted this long. You've been here for about 7 months. You both have been together since the day after you arrived about. He told me something. To never tell you." He pauses as the waitress asked us what we want to order

"Fish and chips for me." John said looking to me

"The chicken strips and chips." I say handing the menus to her

She walks away smiling friendly.

"What did he say to you John?" I ask curiously sipping my wine.

John clears his throat"He said he didn't want to lose you in his life. He wants to settle down with someone who realises his work is his other love but he said he loves you more than his work. I haven't ever said this to anyone because I promised I wouldn't." he finished

I drank my wine fast pouring more. Becoming dizzy.

"He doesn't smoke anymore." I say "I'm his new expirament John."

"You fell off a cliff for the man, I think its about time one of you realises its real. Not a expirament. Veronica you can't say that, Mrs.Hudson, your aunt wants you safe. But you keep putting yourself out there. Elsa is gone, until the next case you need to realise is it lasting for you its real for you?" He says strongly

"She's back John." I say "I lived and she's back."

"Does Sherlock know?" He asks

"He ran off the day we found out." I say slowly

"Sherlock's hard to read, but he loves you. If he loses you he doesn't want to be around for it."

"John, I'm going to end it with her. I'm going to go look for her.

Alone." I say to him The waitress comes back with our food

"You...You can't Veron your my friend. My best friend now. I can't let you do that for him." John is starting to stutter and begins to eat as well as I do.

"He did it for you. He loves you." I say noticing the waitress coming back

"Can I do anything for you two?" She asks

"No thanks." I respond

"I have an idea." She says

John looks at her oddly. She begins to pull her face from her face. A mask. And I get up quickly realising I'm making a scene. It was Elsa.

She grabs my dress and the other customers begin to scream as Elsa has pulled out a gun on me." I'm nervous as ever John is on the phone with the police and I have ran grabbing his hand.

I am shaking, but mentally I'm not scared. John hangs up

"You okay?" He asks "Did she hurt you?"

"No I'm fine." Lying I lied as she was ripping my dress she dug her nails into the back of my leg.

Sherlock's not here I tell my mind this everytime I want to go to his home.

"Where are we going?" I ask John

"My home." He pauses "It's safer."

"Will Mary care?" I ask

"No, she'll actually enjoy company." John said

"No cab?" I ask

"She could be the driver. Expierance." John replys.

We keep running till we arrive at his nice home. He opens the door and I walk in before him as he locks it tightly. I blink my eyes and Sherlock is before me. I hug him tightly. Suprised at the fact he's here..

"We'll always be together." He whispered in my ear then kissing me.
