A new house story! I hope you will like this first chapter. It doesn't take place anywhere in a certain season but it still has the original team. Please enjoy!
Chase walked into the office, ready for another day in the office. Although he had been feeling off the last few days and he had stayed at home yesterday, he felt like it was time to get to work.
Walking back in, he saw the three others looking at him like a ghost had just walked into the office.
''Good morning.'' He said, as if he didn't know that he looked terrible.
''You should have stayed home.'' House said then because Chase seemed so pale and he was shivering. He looked so bad and House wondered how he had been able to drive his car to the hospital.
''You look really terrible.'' Foreman said and Chase looked back at him. He already didn't know how to deal with Foreman when his head was not throbbing and his body was not hurting but now it was even worse.
''No, you look great.'' Chase said sarcastic as he threw his jacket on top of the others by the hallstand.
''I hate to say it but Foreman looks better than you.'' House said then, looking up in a sort of funny way but he was also worried about Chase. Sure, every now and then his team came in with a cold but he had never seen anybody look as bad as Chase. He was pretty sure that if they would get a patient now and they would put Chase in a bed beside it, nobody would see the difference.
Chase sat down in front of Cameron, whom looked at him like he was a bleeding puppy that had just walked in and he wanted to snatch the file away from her and help find the right diagnosis…but there were no files on the table.
''Case?'' He asked then.
''We don't have any, but we might as well take a look at you.'' Foreman said and Chase tried to think of a witty comeback but he felt too bad.
''Chase are you really sure you are okay?'' Cameron said, tilting her head as she asked so and it made him angry, like he was the patient here. That compassion was usually something that he just ignored but today it really made him angry.
''Guess we will go do clinic duty then?" Chase said and he wanted to get up, a horrible pain spreading in his lower back and he tried to hide it. He got up and walked to the coffee machine to get some coffee, maybe that would make him feel better. But one sip didn't make him feel much better but at least he could hide how bad he felt. The coffee didn't seem to fall so well on top of the single toast he had managed to get inside of him this morning.
''You two, off to the clinic. I will make sure this one gets home before he becomes our problem.'' House said, pointing at Cameron and Foreman and then at Chase, whom just stood there as the other two got up.
''Get better Chase.'' Foreman just said as he walked out and it sounded so monotone Chase even doubted if he meant it.
''Go home, feel better, call me if you need anything.'' Cameron said concerned and Chase looked as she walked out. No way he was going to call her. He had been sick before and he was going to be fine. No way he would call her.
''Don't you think about walking to the clinic, you are going home, before you make kids with a cold even more snotty.'' House said.
''Good, I was walking to the bathroom anyway.'' Chase said and his head started to feel warmed and warmed and he was so happy when he finally reached the men's washroom and he could let out a deep sigh as he felt so terrible.
He walked to the sink, splashing some water in his face as he felt so flushed and his lower back kept on hurting too much. He laid his hand against his lower back. The door to the bedroom opened and Wilson came walking in.
''Something wrong?'' He asked as he saw Chase.
''Oh…yeah…I am just a little sore….'' Robert said then.
''You look like you are really sick, you should go home.'' Wilson said then but Chase shook his head.
''I feel fine.'' Chase lied then and Wilson walked away. Chase sighed deep and looked in the mirror. Maybe House and the others were right and that he did have to go home.
Suddenly Chase's stomach started to burn and he ran to the stalls, entering one and before he could do anything, he threw up the tiny breakfast he had been able to eat. Leaning down back against the wall, he wiped the sweat of his forehead and started to pant. Maybe House and Wilson had been right and that he had to go home, because he really was feeling like he was going to collapse any second. His bed seemed like the best place right now. It seemed like such a bad thing right now because he had already missed a day on the job and he hated that. But he also felt so sick and there were so many sick people around him, even some with suppressed immune systems and if he would make them sick, he wouldn't forgive himself.
Finally he got up, wiping his mouth with some toilet paper when he finally came to do the business he had actually walked to the bathroom for.
A few minutes later, House was watching some TV, leaning back in his desk chair as he was watching General hospital episode on his small TV. The door burst open and Chase walked in, slowly.
''So…you are not on your way home yet?'' House asked, not looking up from the TV screen when it almost seemed like Chase was going to fall and he put it aside.
''I…I…I…there was blood in my urine…. think my kidneys are failing.'' Chase said then, looking at House. House wanted to look away when he suddenly heard Chase groan.
Chase frowned for a second, before pressing his hand against his lower back before falling to the floor and House rushed his way, calling for help.
NOTE: Thank you so much for reading the first chapter. I really hope you liked this first chapter. SO Chase went to work even though he was sick but what he thought was a common bad cold really turned out bad. But will they find the diagnosis of what he really has soon enough?
The second chapter will be up somewhere this weekend. It will be updated 2 times a week. Somewhere around Tuesday/Wednesday and Saturday/Sunday. I hope you will continue reading and again, thank you so much for reading this and please leave a review with what you think so I know what you think about this new story and if you want me to continue it!
