Chapter 17: The Consequences

Sherlock Point of View

"Molly Hooper, would you do me the honor of being my wife." I said with as much compassion in my voice as I could muster.
Molly started to cry. For a brief moments her tears brought me hope, maybe she didn't want this, maybe she would say no and I would be free to be with John. But then she answered "Yes, of course Sherlock! Yes!"
"Yes? Then why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?"
"No! It was perfect Sherlock! Just perfect!"
I slide my maternal grandmother's ring onto her hand and then she had her lips on mine, kissing Molly was nothing like kissing John.
I looked over in the direction of which John had previously been standing to make sure he was alright, but he was gone. I scanned the room until I saw him towards the back, speaking to Mycroft.
"Darling, go show off your ring, I'll be back in a moment." I said nudging Molly into a crowd, were she was more than happy to flaunt her new jewelry. I scrambled through the crowd, trying to push past the people congratulating me, but by the time I made it to my brother, John was gone.
"Good job Sherlock. I knew you could get though it." Mycroft said emotionlessly.
"Where is John? You were talking to him!"
"He was upset, he is going to a hotel for the night."
"What? No, I have to explain this to him! I doubt he is to the car yet, I can catch up to him!" I sputtered.
Mycroft grabbed my arm "You need to go be with your fiancée, Sherlock."
"Don't call her that, it makes me want to vomit." I spat and yanked my arm away to go after John. I ran into the kitchen and caught a glimpse of his hair headed out the door.
"John!" I called "JOHN!"

John Point of View

I was so thankful to the Holmes for putting the room on their card. It meant I could order a giant bottle of expensive liquor and wouldn't have to pay for it. In fact I think I charged and extra $400 in food and drink to their card. I don't know if it was because I was hungry, or spiteful or what. My phone had been blowing up with messages but I silenced it, I could deal with everything in the morning. I couldn't process any of my emotions tonight so instead I just cried and drank and ate chips until I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning and I didn't realize where I was for a few blissful moments, but then everything that happened last night came flooding back, along with an awful hangover. I sighed and grabbed my phone to check the time. Instead I saw:

~52 Missed Calls from Sherlock~
~37 New Voicemails from Sherlock~
~112 New Text Messages from Sherlock~

I didn't care what they said, I didn't want to hear his apologies and excuses. Nothing he could say would make a difference. He had shattered my heart and a phone call or text message wasn't going to fix it, unless it said 'John, it was all a prank, I'm so sorry you didn't find it funny, please come back so I can propose to you instead.' Of course he wasn't going to say that, or anything like it. I set my phone down and after about 60 seconds gave in and read the message.

John, come back.
-SH

John I didn't do this to hurt you.
-SH

I didn't do this because I love Molly and want to marry her, I don't.
-SH

Obviously I don't! How could you think I did?
-SH

I love you, John. You know that!
-SH

Come back, so we can talk about this.
-SH

Or at least answer your bloody phone!
-SH

You know this wasn't my choice!
-SH

You saw what happened when I tried to tell my father I wouldn't go through with it.
-SH

It was just a proposal! I doesn't mean I actually have to marry her.
-SH

Will you answer your phone?!
-SH

Just so that I know you are okay.
-SH

I can't leave the party. I can't come after you. So answer me.
-SH

I understand you are upset! But we can talk this through, nothing has to change.
-SH

John!
-SH

John, I love you. I do not love Molly.
-SH

Just let me know you are alright.
-SH

Please
-SH

For Christ's sakes John Hamish Watson answer your damn phone, so we can talk!
-SH

I need to know you are safe, that you didn't do something stupid!
-SH

Mycroft never should have let you leave!
-SH

I need to know you didn't do what I would have done, if our roles were reversed.
-SH

They continued on like that. He never once actually said the words "I am sorry."
Messages were still coming in, all the same as the last ones. With shaking hands I typed out a response.

I didn't kill myself, don't worry.
-JW

John! Oh my goodness! Where are you? My brother wouldn't tell me! I love you! I love you so much! Molly is just something my family wants! I don't want any of this! None of this was my choice!
You have to believe me!
-SH

Was it not your choice to totally blindside me? I imagine this is what yours and Mycroft's fights have been about all semester, was it not your choice to lie to me for months?
-JW

I didn't lie to you, I withheld information.
-SH

What about London?
-JW

What?
-SH

You said when we graduated we would have a flat together in London. Away from your family, just us. Free to be a couple and have a family. That wasn't withholding information, that was just a lie.
-JW

John, I'm not going to marry her.
-SH

More lies.
-JW

No I will stand up to my father! I won't marry her! I don't love her!
-SH

Sherlock, you are even lying to yourself. Open your eyes, you will never stand up to your family, you will never come out, you will marry Molly and have a miserable closeted life. I'll be fine. I'll find someone else, I'll move to the city by myself. I'll learn to stop loving you.
I'm going to try and switch out of our dorm. Give Molly my best, tell her I'm sorry I wasn't there to celebrate last night.
-JW

I put down my phone and listened to it ring and ring, whist I cried and cried.
