Just a one shot not long to be honest just had to write it
…
Being stuck on the roof had its good points. No Cuddy for one he thought. He laughed to himself.
Before he knew it, two police cars turned up just at the hospitals entrance and ran inside. Well that explains why Cuddy hasn't found him yet.
All of a sudden a loud bang echoed on the roof as he saw a young boy charge through the door, his eyes frightened and wet. The boy ran past him as if he didn't know he was there and quickly strode towards the edge.
House went over to the roof door to try and see if it was open but as it turned out, the young boy's actions had caused the door to become jammed. 'Damn it' he whispered.
He then heard shouting from below and went over towards the edge to hear.
There were cries of 'don't do it' and 'please listen' and House didn't know why till he turned to the right and observed the boy standing on the wall looking down.
He knew what the boy was thinking; he's spent many times up there himself contemplating jumping too. But he knew that he couldn't witness this happen before his eyes. He's already lost Wilson to Sam and Cuddy to Lucas, observing this young boy plummet to his death could easily be the end of him no matter how much of a cold hearted bastard people thought he was.
Being beaten by your own father would easily cause you to want to kill yourself he thought bitterly.
…..
Cuddy observed House on the roof with the boy and knew she should have checked there for him first. Damn she thought.
When she rang House's mobile she saw the young boy shake a little as if just recognising House's presence. When he answered she knew that it would be a difficult situation, as if he proved successful, her view on him would be unwarranted and she didn't want to be proven wrong but still this young boy….. She worried her lip.
"House…" she started.
But he didn't reply straight away, and as Cuddy looked up she could see and partially hear House attempting to calm the young boy down which he managed to do so successfully.
"House…" she tried again, but he interrupted her.
"Just tell me in a nutshell Cuddy." He calmly said.
"He came in with a couple of bruises, seems he had been abused at home and had done a runner. He knew as soon as I checked him that I was going to ring social services and eventually his father would be here to collect him. Hence why he's up there." She eventually finished.
She didn't hear him say anything and when she went to carry on he cut her off and hung up.
"Fine"
….
House turned towards the boy and all he could say was "so…."
The boy turned to him and looked so nervous it reminded him of his own childhood.
This is too close to home, too close he thought sadly.
"I'm House" he said and the boy who looked only 7 or 8 seemed confused.
House looked at the boy's confused face and knew he had to clarify.
"My name is House."
"That's a bit of a weird name" he said back to him.
"Well that's my last name, my full name is Greg House." He clarified for the young boy.
When the boy didn't reply, House continued on.
"What's yours?"
"Mike"
"So, do you like Monster Trucks?" House enquired.
….
Wilson knew all about the family history of this young boy and knew that House would most likely connect to him.
He also knew from conversations with House, that House had once been thinking to do what this boy is considering to do.
I just hope the boy lives, for House's sake as well as Mike's he thought grimly.

Please review. I don't know whether to continue this
