Sherlock was crying in the TARDIS he just couldn't take it anymore, the past to years of his life had nearly killed him and soon they will. All Sherlock wanted was to be with John is that too much to ask. The doctor watched him silently he had seen so much death, pain, sorrow his eyes were heavy with all the pain he had felt of the years and Sherlock just added to it. the doctor looked at the monitor again, Sherlock only had minutes left, and if it was by chance the TARDIS had stooped they were there, the day it all started, the day Sherlock and John died for each other.

Sherlock slowly stood up and looked at the doctor his eyes we still wet with tears and his hand was shaking with fright. The doctor moved towards Sherlock and helped him steady himself before walking to the TARDIS doors.

The doctor " Sherlock what you are about to see, will hurt you in more ways you can count but you must be strong ok? do this for John." Sherlock nodded while tears came falling down his cheek.

The doctor opened the TARDIS doors and the wind blew across Sherlock's face, they were on top of St Bart's hospital and there was Sherlock on to of the roof top, on the phone to John. Sherlock could see Jim Moriarty's body on the floor, it suddenly became clear to Sherlock, but something interrupted them. 

out of no where another TARDIS came into view and there was the doctor but with his old face, behind him was...John. Sherlock couldn't believe his eyes, John had stepped out of the TARDIS and was running over to the Sherlock on the edge of the roof, who was by now getting ready to jump. The old doctor saw the other TARDIS and the new doctor looked at him, they both slightly nodded and turned to watch John running over to the Sherlock on the roof top edge.

the Sherlock who was still in the TARDIS couldn't believe what was happening, John had saved Sherlock life and took his own. Sherlock couldn't understand this, it was not happening Sherlock thought it was one of Sherlock's crazy dreams and he was back at 221b and John was already dead. The doctor in the TARDIS with Sherlock looked at him;

the doctor " you see Sherlock, John took his own life to save yours that's why he is dead, he did it for you" Sherlock couldn't concentrate on what the doctor was saying, but he knew what he had to do. Sherlock jumped out of the TARDIS and screamed:

Sherlock " JOOOOOHHHHNNNNN STOPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" John turned around to see Sherlock running towards him but then turned around the Sherlock who was about to jump was gone. John looked back at the Sherlock running towards him and stopped to face him.

John shouted " Sherlock ............what are you doing?" Sherlock took no notice and carried on running toward him he collapsed in to John's arms and cried. John was so taken back that the fact Sherlock was hugging him on the middle of St Bart's rooftop and was alive, he started to cry too.

Sherlock looked at John and smiled he had waited so long for this moment he didn't know what to say, but he had too say the one thing that mattered the most;

Sherlock "I'm in love with you."

John " Sherlock .........." Sherlock stopped him he couldn't stop crying and neither could John.

Sherlock " I am. I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labour has been returned to dust and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, but I am in love with you" Sherlock looked down at John he had been crying the whole time Sherlock had been here and he just couldn't stop.

John " I ..........I don't know what to say.......Sherlock I have always loved you ....." John hugged Sherlock so tightly Sherlock collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing, the pill Sherlock took before had worked Sherlock was dying in John's arms. The doctor Sherlock had came with came running over while the old doctor left he knew what would happen next and he didn't want to relive it again.

John looked over Sherlock and pulled Sherlock close up to him, he cried and cried as the doctor came over and grabbed John's arm;

John " NOOOO I cant leave him he is my lover, I will not leave him" John burst in to tears and looked at John who was cradling Sherlock dead body.

the doctor " come on John leave him, let me help him" John wouldn't move he just wished Sherlock was alive .............
