One: House and His Accidental Teenage Bride

My story may not be for everyone; no story is loved or even liked by everyone. If my story is not for you, that's ok, move on and no hard feelings. My story is in no way mandatory reading for anyone. In less polite terms…Don't like it? Don't read it.

Sorry readers, I deleted and am re-posting this story and lost everything. If you previously favored or followed this story, please do so again.

Character development is very important in a novel. Have you ever read a novel that is all action and no character development? I don't know about you but I just can't get interested in those stories. I feel nothing in common with those un/underdeveloped characters because there is nothing to empathize with or relate to or to care about.

The House characters are already fully developed. We watched and loved these characters for eight seasons. We know their facial expressions, body language, their way of talking and the voices they use to express themselves, what they like and don't like and the way they relate to each other. I don't need to devote any time to developing these characters because they are already fully developed.

Isabella is brand new. We know nothing about her, so I have worked very hard to developed her character and make her real.

Isabella is one of the two main characters in my novel and occupies a major part of this story. If this bothers you, move on.

Isabella is a former abused and neglected child. Because of her history she concentrates everything she is into her work and school life. She is very accomplished in these areas. Also because of her history and because she has concentrated on work, she has had very little socialization outside of work and in many ways is still just a scared under socialized abused little girl as well as being accomplished in the work area. House finds the combination interesting.

Story Notes:

I goofed. The legal drinking age in New Jersey is 21. I decided I would use a note to correct my mistake instead of rewriting my entire story

The information about the necessity of using anti rejection drugs after a transplant is pure nonsense. I made it up for the story. If you have had a transplant, take your medication as ordered. The study about protein and muscle health is also made up.

Don't take any advice (medical, legal or other) from this novel; this is a work of fiction.

All characters are fictional. The characters from the TV show House belong to David Shore and company; the other characters are figments of my imagination and belong to me.

Author's Notes

I wrote this novel for the 2015 National Novel Writing Month challenge. Prior to this year I had written stories for myself as a child. This book represents my first literary work in about 50 years. The Nanowrimo challenges writers to complete a novel of at least 50,000 words in 30 days during the month of November.

I knew that I wanted to write a House fan fiction, but there are many thousands of fan fiction stories about House and it was a challenge to find a subject that hadn't been done many times already.

I saw a short segment on the news about people who have been "roofied". These drugs are still used for their traditional purpose of having non-consensual sex but there is a new use as well: they are now also used on strangers; men and woman of all ages, just for someone's demented amusement.

I decided to combine fan fiction with this contemporary social issue to create my new book.

The first five chapters of this book go into great detail about the physical, emotional and mental reactions a person who has been roofied might experience. Although these chapters are difficult to read, they have been thoroughly researched and they do realistically portray the experiences of the victims of these assaults.

If you do not want to read about this social issue, you could choose to skip to Chapter Six.

The remainder of the book illustrates the serious life changes of two victims of this horrible practice. How do they deal with their unintended marriage and the other situations that were the result of their attack? Their lives were drastically changed. How do they progress in healing and dealing with the emotional, mental and physical changes that were forced upon them? How does the relationship between these two strangers develop and how do they meet the challenges of their new lives?

Go on this difficult but hopeful journey with Gregory House and His Accidental Teenage Bride.

Introduction

This story is set in season 8. Wilson does not have cancer. House has worked hard to successfully complete his parole obligations. He only missed one appointment with his parole officer and that was because he was working on a critical case. Foreman explained the situation and the officer gave House an excused absence with a stern warning about what would happen if he missed another appointment. House made sure he never did miss another appointment: he didn't want to go back to prison…

House is now a free man. He has his job, his music, his team, his porn, life is good. He has fun with his team, still watches monster truck rallies with his best friend, and rides his motorcycle like a crazy man. Riding his motorcycle is almost as good as Vicodin!

Of course House being House, couldn't let on, but he is…OK… he is good. Like he told Nolan at Mayfield, what seemed like a lifetime ago; he was good. He tries to take his pain medicine as ordered, but House being House, well…he does better sometimes than other times. He still has pain; it is still a major impact on his life, but it isn't quite as bad as it has been during other periods of his life. When Wilson is busy at lunch time, House eats his lunch in Foreman's office. Anyone other than House would say that they were happy, happier than ever before: but House, being House, is OK. OK… well, OK is a good thing. House being human, wondered how long this OK time would last.

One: The Morning after the Night Before

Isabella gradually came to consciousness. Something was wrong. She had a mind numbing headache. Her brain felt like it would explode and her heart was beating way too fast, it was difficult to breathe and her mouth tasted like vomit. "Oh my god" she slowly and vaguely thought, "What is wrong with me? Am I dying?"

Thinking was difficult, fuzzy, she felt dizzy, confused, and sluggish and her head was killing her! Normally she got up easily in the morning and started her busy day right away but just opening her eyes seemed impossible this morning. She felt like a limp rag doll; no muscle tone, no muscle control. Her mind slowly started to work slightly better. She realized that she was sweating. Finally she could open her eyes, just a crack. Immediately she closed them again. There was too much light from the bedside lamp. She tried to cover her eyes with her hands, but her arms wouldn't cooperate. Her arms were as weak and as wiggly as jello. She couldn't move them. She couldn't move anything. Isabella's brain was very confused and disoriented. She felt like she was floating somewhere outside of her body. She was scared and confused and she was also sooooo out of it. "Am I dreaming? This must be a dream, a really bad dream; a terrible nightmare." Without willing it, she fell back into an exhausted, drug induced sleep.
