Say You Won't Let Go.

Drunk.

I have read many fanfics based on the after math of  The Call in TFP. This is my version of the after math.-RA

Molly sighed in annoyance, as she picked up her phone which was buzzing for the last 15 minutes. She didn't usually pick calls from an unknown number. But this one was bothering her a lot. The moment she said "hello" into the phone an equally annoyed voice replied, "Molly, please listen to me, don't hang up!"

Molly sighed again, "I already told you John that I don't want to talk about that day to anyone!"

It had been three days since The Call incident. After that Molly had refused to talk to Sherlock and anybody else who knew about that incident. So, she didn't know the whole story, the reason for Sherlock forcing her to say those words to him, hurting her.

John's voice soften a bit, as if to plead, "Please, Molly. Sherlock had to do that. He is hurt too after that incident."

Molly was about to protest, as she gritted her teeth together in anger, when a slurred baritone was heard from the other side of the phone line, "JAWN ISS DAT MOLLY?"

"John is that Sherlock?" Molly asked, now confused.

"To answer the questions asked by you two, yes it is. You heard that Molly? I found Sherlock in a bar, completely drunk an--SHERLOCK! GO PUKE IN THE WASHROOM, INSTEAD OF ME!" John forgot to keep the phone away from his face while shouting at Sherlock, so he was shouting into the phone too, making Molly flinch. "Molly, he took that incident a little heavily on himself--SHERLOCK COME BACK HERE AT THIS INSTANT!" Again he shouted into the phone, making Molly to flinch again.

But she was still confused, couldn't understand that Sherlock was regretting his experiment he had performed on her--well, that's what he had said about the call , it being an experiment--so much, that he got drunk.

"JAWN, GIVVVVE MEEEE DA PHONE!"Sherlock slurred again.

"NO SHER--" Molly heard John's voice followed by a kind of buzzing sound, and she assumed that Sherlock must have snatched the phone from John.

"Mollyyyyy" Sherlock tried to sound normal, but he was too drunk to do so.

Molly sighed yet again as she arched her phone between her neck and shoulder, and angrily started cutting an apple with the biggest knife she possessed. "Yes, Sherlock" she said through gritted teeth.

"Molly, you--you don't listen. I--I had to hurt you to save you."

"What do you mean?" She said, while rolling her eyes.

"I meaaaan dat, Eurusss made me do--do dat." he slurred.

Molly left the knife and apple on the counter as she reached for her phone, her expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.

Before going to Sherrinford, Sherlock had told Molly about Eurus, when she had visited him in the hospital after the bomb explosion at 221B, Baker Street. Eurus Holmes, Sherlock's long lost sister. But, Did she forced Sherlock to hurt Molly? And if she did, then why?

"Mollyyyy?" she heard that slurred baritone again. "Molly, Eurus to--told me that there were bombs in your flat and if I didn't make you say those words to me then she would blow up your flat."

Molly's eyes widened, "But after you said those words," Sherlock continued, "She told me that there were no bombs at you flat and she did all that just to test my emotions."

Molly covered her mouth with her free hand in shock, "I am sorry Sherlock" She said after a moment of silence.

"I am sorry to force you to say those words to me, but....I am not sorry that I said those words to you." As Sherlock said that, Molly could practically hear him smirking.

"You are drunk, Sherlock." she stated as a matter of fact.

"Yes, but coherent enough to know what i am saying, Molly Copper."

"It's 'Hooper'"

"Whatever, but I love you." he said, and Molly could hear the sincerity in his voice, "I love you, Molly Copper."

"For the last time Sherlock, It's 'Hooper' and do you really mean it?" she asked, her eyes starting to well up.

"Yes, and I meant it at that moment too." Now his voice held more than just sincerity. But he was drunk. Don't they say that 'Drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts'?

"Say it again." She demanded.

"I love you." he replied without missing a beat.

"Again"

"I love you.....I love you."

She was sure. She sniffed, while blinking back tears, "I love you too." came her slightly raspy voice.

She heard some buzzing again, then a much clear, not drunk voice came through the phone, "Molly, will you please come here and help me to get Sherlock back home now that you both have confessed your love to each other?" she could hear John smiling brightly.

"Yes" she smiled.

"Great, come quickly though, Sherlock's gonna get in another drunk fight" Molly chuckled at this, before disconnecting the call and running out of her front door into the London Streets.

The End

Just so you all know, Sherlock actually says Molly's last name copper, because he is drunk. Don't confuse it with cooper-RA
