Molly's and Sherlocks friendship had blossomed just like the new buds on the tree in the field under which they lay.
"Sherlock?"
"Molly?"
"Do you ever think that maybe we are the only ones out there. I mean just the only ones in the entire universe?"
"Nah"
"Why"
"Well , i dont ever think about it, just think, why would you want to think about whats out there whilst there is so much going on here?"
Molly smiled. He was indeed right.
"Molly"
"Ya Sherlock"
"Do you want to come round mine after school, Its only dad at home at the moment and I really dont want to do this space project alone- i always seem to delete the data after i learn it - no point learning it really?"
"Sherlock .... Its the solar system! its in our GCSE!"
"Meh , its simple physics"
"Ok"
"Ok , what?"
"Ok , ill come round and try and teach you some common sense"
Sherlock laughed. "Of course Molly , of course"

Later.....

Molly and Sherlock began walking to his house which was a good 20 minute walk from the school. " Sherlock , just where about is your house?"
"Oh its on Baker Street"
Molly thought for a minute.
" Ive never heard of it"
"Oh you wont , its just a small lane , in fact its only got our house on it , great thing living in the country I suppose"
Molly smiled, yeah , i suppose it is..

Molly and Sherlock had reached Sherlocks home. It was a thatched cottage , a little chimney at the top spouting smoke. It was Molly's dream. "Sherlock .. Your house is soo"
"Beautiful?" Sherlock smiled.
He lead Molly towards a small red door and unlocked the small lock with a key and the door swung open.
"Dad , Im home! "
A greying man came round the corner. High cheekbones , tall stature, and an jawline so prominent , molly swore it was drawn on. Yup , he was Sherlock father alright.
" You alright sherlly" Sherlock scowled whilst Molly tried to hide the fit of giggles.
"Yes Im fine dad, no mum?"
"No , teaching maths to oxford students still , they cant get enough of her"
Sherlock smiled. In side he was proud of his mum.
"And who is this lovely young woman?" Molly blushed , " Im Molly , Sir"
"Oh no need for that , call me William"
"Er.. Thanks William!"
Sherlock sighed, " come one we've got work to do"

Later still

Molly had just stuck down the final peice to their project, she had to admit, it did look rather nice! Sherlock even seemed rather pleased, though he daren't show it. She sighed. She could stay like this all evening.
"Sherlock"
"Yep"
"That was funny what you did the other day in chemistry"
Sherlock smirked
"Well, he was wrong"
" I know but no ones ever stood up to him before like that"
" Well , its a good job i did"
Sherlock smiled and looked at Molly. Their eyes locked.
Molly's heart beat began to race. Sherlock leaned in slightly, Molly had to choose , did she or did she not. But of course in these situations you don't have control, she could feel her body leaning into the kiss. Both her and Sherlocks eyes began to slowly close , she could feel his breath on her face , they were getting closer and closer and closer..... RING RING RING !!!!
They jumped apart.
Molly grabbed the phone avoiding eye contact with sherlock.
"Hello"
"Oh , hi mum"
"Er.... Molly this isnt mum, its untie Molls"
"Oh , Hiya , er , what are you doing on mums phone?"

Sherlock watched as Molly face fell and tears began to fall down her face. Eventually she dropped the phone and started into the Blue eyes of her best friend...
My Mum..... Shes.... Shes dead..

Sherlock moved closer to Molly and put his arm around her as she wept tears into his shirt. He cradled her into his chest while she sobbed into his shirt tears of sorrow and shock.

Eventually she pulled away excusing herself to go to the loo.
Sherlock let her go and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Something was wrong.
Sherlock stumbled to the door of the bathroom and shouted into it.
"Molly ,are you ok?! Molly!! MOLLY!!"

William came running up the stairs , " Sherlock whats wrong?" Sherlock turned to face his dad , and showed the only emotion that had never appeared on Sherlock face before... Fear.
William ran into the door with his shoulder forcing it to swing open.

Molly was their on the floor, blood dripping down her arm , Sherlocks razor gripped into her hand...

"MOLLLLYYYY"
