~Sherlock~

I stood on the edge of the the roof, four stories up and looked down upon the world that I had for once seemed at home in. Tears made tracks down my face and dripped from my chin. There was no need to wipe them away or hide them up here because no one on the tiny world below could see them. I inhaled shakily, I was doing this for them, the only three people on this earth that I cared about more than myself.

If I didn't jump, right here right now, they would die and it would be my fault. So here I am. I just did my best to convince my best friend that I was a fake, all of my deductions and rivalries were made up and researched. This wasn't true, but life would be easier for him if he believed what the press were saying.

Behind me lays my archenemy. John tried to tell me once that people don't have archenemies. They sometimes do though and mine was my only ticket out of this. He shot himself so that I would have to commit suicide and have my name be thrown in with the muck of humanity.

There is no way out of this.

I close my eyes, lift my arms, and just, step off the roof.
