John's Safe Place

Chapter 2

~John

Sherlock is out today doing gods know what. I'm just relaxing at the flat. I never knew how I became alone today. I never really like to be alone. I was looking for another case or a job. I can't be stuck here all the time. I saw there was a job offer at a clinic not too far away from the flat. 

I applied for it. I know it wouldn't matter. I stretch and head to the bathroom. It wouldn't be bad to have extra money either. I strip down and turn on the shower. I looked at my left should. I see the scar from the bullet that nearly killed me. I sighed sometimes wishing it did. I step into the shower and let the water hit me. It was so relaxing. I yawned.

"I should try to get some sleep later," I mumbled. I finish up my shower and walked step out. I realized I left my clothes in my room. I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked out of the bathroom. I saw Sherlock sitting in his chair. I saw him starring at me. He got up and walked towards me. I froze keeping a tight hold of the towel.

"Jawn," He said. I looked up at him, not saying a word. I felt a hand on my left shoulder. I couldn't take my eyes off. I saw his face went from blank to sad within seconds, "Jawn."

"Yeah," I whispered. 

"Why?" 

"Why what?" I was confused backed up out of his grip. He pulled me close.

"Why didn't you show me this?" Sherlock asked.

"Because I don't like looking at it and you never asked," I said, looking away from him, "Don't worry you don't have to look at it," I whispered pulled away from him and headed back to my room.

I have been wondering what is going on with my Watson. He has been avoided as of late. I can't figure out why. I starting to wonder if it's me. So I went to talk to someone that might help. They of course have nothing on how to help my doctor.  I sighed in frustration. Jawn is a mystery to me. I do know he's an army doctor and a captain. He doesn't talk to his family.  Maybe I should call his sister. No bad idea. 

I walked back into the flat and sat down in my chair thinking. I looked up and saw Jawn half-naked. I saw an ugly scar. I never saw it. That must of been why he left the military. I got up and walked over to him after I got his attention. He seems shocked that I'm back. I looked at him and place a hand on his left shoulder. He pulled away and walked away. I'm confused. 

Something is defiantly wrong with him. I must figure out what it is. I went back to thinking.
