AN: Dediacted to VespaHellway.  Also, sorry I made Janine out to be a slut. lol sorry. I think she's a great character an actress, please don't kill me!

***

I walk up to her door and knock it twice. Everyone probably thought I was over-reacting but I didn't really care. At this point I was done. I was so done. Everyone I talked to, friends I've had; I've lost them. Probably the only one that actually liked me was Dan, but he was psychotic. 

Dan was insane, his brother mourned Dan and wanted revenge, Erin was only my friend because he wanted to kill me, Janine would've slept with Sherlock and broke my heart, and Mary was an assassin but at least she's still here siding with us and protecting her child. Mary was the one I could always talk to. She was an amazing friend.

She opened her door with Amelia cradled in her arm. She smiled at me and opened the door wider for me to come in. I thank her by smiling back and she shuts the door behind me.

"What's up? I thought you was at Scotland's Yard with John and Sherlock?"

"I was." I mumbled and stroke Amelia's forehead as I say hello to her. She was nearly five months old. I smiled as she does, she was so damn cute.

"Here," She starts, passing Amelia to me. I cradle her in my arms and Mary goes into the kitchen. I follow her. "I'll make you a drink."

"Thanks." I smile, sitting on a stool. She puts the kettle on and starts putting the tea bags and sugar into the cups.

"So what happened?" She questions. I sigh.

"Janine was in our flat."

"Really?" Mary raises her eyebrow's and waits for me to continue.

"Yeah. Someone texted her telling her to come. She said it was from Sherlock, and said he was home alone. God know's what else, I didn't want to hear the rest of it but it was clear by how nervous she looked that it meant she came because she thought Sherlock wanted to have the frick frack with her and maybe they could have got together again." I didn't think Janine was the type of girl to just come to her ex's for sex (although, technically they wasn't really dating.) She must still feel some sort of sentiment towards Sherlock. He did propose to her after all, but if anything that should have made her angry that it was all a lie. I sighed. I was so confused. Friends seemed to be just dropping.

"That whore." Mary muttered, putting milk into the two cups after she added the boiling water, "You know Sherlock didn't send that text though? He doesn't do things like that." Mary pauses, "I think. He would do anything if it was for a case. To pretending to be with Janine or to taking drugs."

"I know. Sherlock wouldn't do that, but then again who would want to send that text? Sherlock could being trying to get with Janine again because of a case. Moriarty wanted me dead, apparently. Maybe that was because he knows I'm dating Sherlock. Maybe he's trying to get with her so I don't get hurt."

"But he should know that you'll hurt either way." Mary picks up the two cups of tea's and I follow her into the living room. She puts them on the coffee table and I give her back Amelia. Amelia looked like she was going to fall asleep any moment. "Don't worry about it. Everyone knows about Sherlock and Janine, it was in the papers. I bet someone was just pranking her."

"You're probably right." I agree, giving her a reassuring smile. My phone vibrates, and Mary tries to get Amelia to fall asleep while I answer my text. I raise my eyebrow when I see who it was from.

From Sebastian: Hi beautiful! Was wondering if you wanted to see the London Eye with me? xx

To Sebastian: Are you asking me out on a date? You know I have a boyfriend.

He replies almost immediately.

From Sebastian: No, I'm asking you if you want to see the London Eye with me. You're the one making it into a date ;) xx

I smirk at his reply. Cocky prat.

To Sebastian: I think I've seen the London Eye to many times.

From Sebastian: Alright then. How about dinner? xx

"What you smiling at?" Mary questions. I let out a chuckle.

"I met this guy and he really loves to flirt."

She laughs, "Has he asked you out?"

"He's asked me out to dinner. I'd love to be friends with him, but everyone I seem to make friends with keep ending up being crazy, annoying or capable of murder."

"Not everyone you meet is going to be like that, Holly." She starts, "The only way you're going to be able to trust again is to take chances. Tell him you're only interested in being friends, and see where it goes."

You smile at her, Mary was such a good friend. "What about Sherlock?"

"You're making a friend, not going to his house to get bummed. We're aloud to have friends of the opposite sex."

I let out a laugh, "Fine. He does seem funny. You'll have to meet him with me one of of the days." I suggest. She nods.

"I'll make sure he isn't crazy, annoying or capable of murder."

"Thanks." I reply with a small grin, and pick up my phone to text him back.

To Sebastian: I'll have dinner with you as a friend.

I wait for him to reply, and he replies about a minute later.

From Sebastian: Sure. Just as frienfs. Wanna go to the chippy? Sorry, not really into the whole restaurant stuff unless the lady wants to? xx

To Sebastian: Chip shop sounds fine. I'll meet you by Wilson's chippy tomorrow at 2? 

From Sebastian: Sounds like a pan. Can't wait to see you :) xx
