Give me a reason (a sherlock fanfiction)

Im sorry

Chapter 4

John pov

(Well, I guess I don't need this journal any more. He's alive. I don't know whether to jump for joy or shoot the wall. )

I stopped writing when I heard foot steps coming upstairs. Long strides, dress shoes, long coat slightly dragging behind. All the characteristics of sherlock walking up a flight of stairs.

Now that the original anger is gone, I'm over the moon. I slowly got out of my seat.

Sherlock pov

I'm hoping he's not too mad at me. I guess we'll find out, I thought as I turned the handle to our flat.

"John I'm.."

I didn't even get to finish my sentence before I was wrapped in a warm hug. At first I was confused but then I hugged him back.

"Sherlock don't ever leave me again"

"Never john. I promise"

"Good. Now, explain yourself. Why were you gone for two bloody years!"

I explained to him how.."I had to eliminate Moriarty's network before I could come back. Also also if I didn't jump you, Lestrade, and mrs Hudson would die. Thankfully he forgot about Molly so I enlisted her help. She kept me alive for two years so please don't be mad at her."

We were silent for at least two minutes when john finally spoke

"So you jumped to save our lives?"

His voice was shaky and I could tell he was close to tears.

"Yes john, I did"

Great now I was starting to cry.

"Sherlock?"

"Hmm?"

"Did anyone else know?"

"Well I had to tell Lestrade because he needed to know that what happened wasn't his fault"

I saw john nod as though he completely understood.

"John, I am so sorry."

"It's okay sherlock. You saved my life. From now on it will always be okay. "

Now we were both sitting in silence with tears rolling down our cheeks.

All of a sudden we heard a shrill screech come from the door way. I guess neither of us heard mrs Hudson come up stairs.

John immediately jumped up to calm her down and lead her to the couch.

After about ten minutes she stopped snivelling and said

"I'm not crazy am I?"

Now it was my turn to calm her down. I jumped up and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"No mrs. Hudson. I assure you I am 100% real. Scarf and all"

"Oh good. Both my boys together again at last."

We ended up just whiling away the hours by drinking wine, watching crap telly and playing cluedo before I blacked out.
