A/N: Popped into my head after my sister sent me a message on Skype and I saw someone's post from Tumblr. I owe them for the idea. :)

Summary: Almost a month passes before John picks up his phone, and a realization hits him.

Mrs. Hudson is letting me stay here. I can pay the rent with the money you left. You could have paid the rent yourself. You just wanted another person around didn't you?-JW

In all honesty, the pistol in the drawer is much too inviting.-JW
