Sherlock wasn't sure how many times he read and re-read that letter, picked it apart, tried to decipher every word of it, pick it apart syllable by syllable.
What had he done to make John run away? He still had no idea what had happened. If John loved him, like he claimed he did, then why had he run away to Afghanistan? He had a feeling that Mycroft had had a hand in helping him. The bastard had never really warmed up to John, and vice versa. Maybe his brother, who had previously warned John about breaking Sherlock's heart, had decided that it was actually for the best.
Sherlock pinned the note on his refrigerator, so he would never forget what he had had and lost, and then made a phone call to Billy. There was one thing he could do to take away the pain. He had been doing so well, not falling back on old habits, but it was one very hard habit to break.
One quick call to Billy, a time a place to meet, and a short time later, dressed in a hoodie, sweat pants and trainers, he was on his way to oblivion, where the hole in his heart wouldn't hurt so much.
