Love is a Mystery (A JohnLock Fanfic)

-Chapter 3-

John's POV

I can still remember it, as clear as day...

I saw Sherlock standing on the edge of the roof, his phone in hand.

"Whats going on?"

"An apology... its all true..."

"What?" My heart was racing so fast, I could hear it in my ears.

"Everything they said about me... I invented Moriarty..."

"Why are you saying this?"

"Im a fake."

"Sherlock-"

"The news papers were right all along. I want you to tell Lastrade, I want you to tell Mrs. Hudson, and Molly. Tell anyone who will listen to you, that I created Moriarty, for my own purposes..."

"No, stay exactly where you are! Dont move!"

"Alright..."

"Keep your eyes fixed on me. Please... would you do this for me?"

"Do what?"

"This phone call... its my note. Its what people do dont they? Leave a note."

My breathing picked up, and my palms started to sweat. Oh no, oh God no.

"Leave a note when?" My voice was thick with questions.

"Goodbye John..."

"No, dont-"

He then hung up, and threw the phone to his side.

No no no, this cant be happening!

Wake up damn it, wake up!

Then what happened seemed to last forever. Sherlock fell off the roof, plumeting to the ground.

"Sherlock!" I screamed, hoping he would hear me.

It was so fast, yet so slow at the same time. I wished- no I prayed that somehow a miracle would occur, but I knew one wouldn't.

"Sherlock..."
