You were trapped, trapped by darkness with no one beside you. You were lonely, trapped in a closed room. Everything was black no matter which corner you look, it was pitch black. You were starting to get hysteric, your heart beating in an uncontrollable matter. You hate having these kind of dreams, it makes you feel, well, trapped. You started having these kind of dreams since 4th grade due to bullying and through the years, you became claustrophobic. And ever since then, you have felt this way and your mother always sends you to therapy saying it will help you. But you can't see how the therapist is capable of helping your 'situation' if there is nothing wrong to begin with, even though there is something wrong, you won't admit it and because the therapist can barely handle his own. You don't really get the point.

The thing is you always felt that a part of you is missing. There is that missing puzzle piece that is lost in this ever changing world, or maybe lost in space and time. You don't know what it is but as you were growing up, the longing to find that missing piece was growing stronger..

You woke up with a start, sweat dripping on the sides of your face and was breathing unevenly. You jumped out of bed and regretted that you did. Your head was spinning around and was only brought back to reality with your mom calling your name.

"(y/n)! Are you okay? Is it another nightmare?" her voice full with worry and those (e/c) orbs full of tears that were threatening to pour out anytime you were like this. You didn't respond and continued on your musings.

She had become like this ever since, even if she tried to smile for you saying that it'll be alright. You can still see the pain in those beautiful eyes of hers. And the most heartbreaking thing is that you were the one who caused her to be like that. You couldn't care less but she was your mother so she was an exception. You kind have zoned out to the majority of your mother's rant except when she said THE WORD. Yup, she's going to send you back to therapy. You just hate it soooo much. You don't understand the meaning of sending you to a therapist. She continued ranting about how it will help me yada, yada and you couldn't help it anymore, you snapped at her.

"Mom for the umpteenth time, I don't want to go to that stupid therapy. so can you just leave me alone. Please?" She was crestfallen and there you saw it. It disappeared as quickly and it appeared, but it didn't go unnoticed to you.

She felt broken and helpless. Helpless, maybe because she can't do anything to help me and broken because you just snapped at her.'who cares? she was getting too annoying.' you thought but you still feel a pang of guilt. She nodded her head and retreated to what you guessed to the kitchen leaving me alone. 'finally' you sighed and changed into (f/c) (favorite clothes) and jumped out of the window not even bothering leaving a note behind.

To be honest, you just want to be alone for a while, (didn't I mentioned that a lot already?), and you couldn't find that kind of peace that you needed in your bedroom and so you proceeded to the beach to put my thoughts together. Unfortunately, it just made you recall your past. "Freak" "Stupid" "Weird" those were few of the names they called you. You grew up being 'weird' but you just think that you were born with a mind that is far more greater than those lowly humans. Whenever you look at a person, words appear on them and soon I found out that these were facts or things that tells about the person or in other words I can know the person's past, hobbies, likes or what they recently did in just a glance. (I know. a crappy description.)

You tried explaining this to my mother and to the therapist, they said that maybe you were just hallucinating and that it was nothing but you know better. You can see it in their eyes, they didn't believe you and from then you gave up on telling them anything since they'll think that you're crazy. "Psychopath" that one is the one that you despised the most. You were not a psychopath, you were a high-functioning sociopath, 'maybe not high-functioning but that's what you think about you and not a psychopath.' There's a big difference, humans are really idiotic. You were drawn away by your musing by a cat sitting on your lap. 'hmm, it's fur seemed to be disarranged in a funny way, must have ran from the grasps of a person.' you thought.

"Can I have my cat back?" A low voice said behind you. You turned around and what you saw literally took your breath away.

There stood a man around his twenties (let's pretend he is okay?), his curly hair was messy making him look somewhat cute, and those sharp cheek bones of his, 'I wonder if you can cut yourself from touching it' you thought. But what took your breath were his eyes. They were so mesmerizing, you feel like lost in a maze in those eyes of his. They were blue-gray but at a different angle it was blue/green.

"Uhmm miss?" "yeah right." The cat jumped from my lap and towards the man. "Thanks, I should be going now." He said and started to walk away.

"I suggest that you return that cat from where you had picked it or your flatmate wouldn't like waking up with a cat on his face." You blurted out suddenly causing him to stop in his tracks.

"Never mind" You quickly added hoping he wouldn't find you weird.

"you'rejustlikeme" he murmured too fast that you didn't get a thing from what he said. "What do you call yourself as?" he asked suddenly. (I know, it's a stupid question. I can't think of a better one. sorry)

"Excuse me?" you raised an eyebrow "Just answer" sheesh meanie

"I'm a high-functi--"

"functioning sociopath" okay that was weird, how did he know?

"Want to play deductions?" he added and you smirked

"Who goes first?" you asked.

The man went first and he pretty much deduced your whole life and so did you. After you were done deducing each other, you both decided to have a little fun and deduced other people who were passing by.

----Time skip----

It was already afternoon, the sky was painted with different shades of red and orange, the wind pushes through you, blowing the hair in front of your face away. 'It's beautiful' you thought and sighed.

"I have to go. I hope we meet again" He stood up and started to walk away.

"Wait. My name is (f/n). (f/n) (l/n). What's yours?" you asked quickly. He stopped and looked back at your direction.

"The name's Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes" he winked and went on his way.

He was such a weird guy, well you shouldn't say that since you weird yourself. Meeting him was somewhat magical and the empty space in your heart was slowly filling in. 'I do hope he is the missing piece that I'm looking for to quench this loneliness inside of me' you thought. You smiled to yourself and went home. You were really happy, no words can express how you felt. You slept still smiling, knowing that you're not the only one who's 'weird', there was someone like you. And his name is Sherlock.
