Chapter 1
A new beginning in a new city. A fresh start. That's all she was looking for. After she finished her medical studies for seven years she left her hometown, leaving all the bad memories behind. She was on her way now to her new home in New Jersey, sitting near her boyfriend whom drove the car, looking through the window on the falling rain.
"Are you okay? " He asked her, and she woke up from her thoughts and looked at him.
"Yes. I am fine. " She told him, smiling to calm him down and caressing his face with her pale hand. He smiled back and turned his look to the road again. She felt her eyes burning a little. The familiar faces showed up in her mind, and she tried to erase them. She tried to let the past forgiven.
She turned on the radio to distract her mind, and a song of Coldplay, "Fix you", played. It fit well to her feelings, and she began feeling emotional more and more. Her boyfriend, Adam, drummed on the steering wheel by the rhythm of the song. It was a cool, raining and romantic night, and when she looked at Adam, who glanced on the road through the wet window, she suddenly felt warmness. Even though he doesn't know about her past, about her most painful spots, she still felt safe with him. She leaned closer to him and kissed him.
"Are you sure everything is okay? " he asked again, a little worried. "You look pale even more than usual. You haven't eaten since one o'clock, and its nine o'clock now. "
"I'm fine, really. I am not hungry. I am just... excited. Do you think they will hire me? " She asked him, a little worried now.
"They will be crazy if they wont. " He said. "You will be the best, the most professional, beautiful and sexy doctor in the whole hospital. "
She laughed. "I hope so. I heard a lot about Doctor House, but why would he hire me? He is the best diagnostician ever and I just finished my medical studies... and besides, I will bet every applicant for this job will fight till death. I wont play dirty. "
"You don't have to. Who knows? Just be cool, don't get too excited. "
"I say that this is going to be a little problematic. I will take Valium before the interview. "
Adam looked at her now, amused. "You will fell asleep in front of him. "
"At least I won't shake in fear. "
He laughed. "You will be alright. "
She looked at him again, at his bright, almost blond hair and tanned skin. He looked like the perfect Australian- except he wasn't born there. He was born in USA and has no accent. She made fun of him a lot because of it, and because many chicks that had tried their luck with him thought he was Australian. She thought it was hilarious. He didn't, but he wasn't angry with her. He laughed with her. In fact, he loves her so much he would marry her right now. But she needs her time. She always needed. They met during her studies- she was 23, a freshman, just started her studies, and he was 26, worked in a lawyer's office already as a main lawyer. Actually, it is a pretty funny story- she went to a coffeehouse with her girlfriends, and he went with his friends. Their looks crossed and by the end of the evening he had already got her phone's number. He broke up with his girlfriend for her, and she didn't know that till they celebrated 3 months. She was angry at first, but forgot about it later. And here they are now, celebrating almost 7 years and a half. All of their friends wondered why they aren't getting married, but she couldn't explain- she always had the feeling that someone better is waiting for her somewhere. The one and only for her. It isn't like she didn't love him- of course she did. But she stayed with him most of all because it is comfortable. Here they are now, getting closer and closer to their new home- he takes care of her, spoil her sometimes, loves her. What can be better that this?
But it wasn't perfect as it seemed. She couldn't tell him everything about her- about her past, about her scars... she felt it has to be perfect. He is perfect. She has to fulfill his criterions. Actually, he knows very little about her- Common knowledge, but who could blame him? No one really knows her.
"I know that I am handsome, but why are you staring at me like this? " he asked, amused and laughing. She hadn't paid attention about her staring at all. He is just too pretty not to stare at.
She remembered that she asked him "Why are you with me? " one day, once and for all. He was surprised to hear this.
"Because, " he said, and came closer to her, hugging her, "You are beautiful, and smart- " he kissed her head- "and sexy-" he kissed her lips now- "and just... my little darling. And I think, most of all, because I love you. "
Even though every girl would be happy because of this answer, she wasn't satisfied. She is sure about one thing- she is broken apart. She has to unite all of the pieces, but she can't... not by herself, not alone. Even though she has Adam, he can't help her. She hasn't found the right person, and so she waits, alone, in the darkness.
Finally, after 40 minutes, they arrived at their new house. It was a beautiful condo surrounded by big garden full of grass and flowers. Adam parked the car in the parking lot and Alice came to the main door, unlocking it with the key Adam gave her. When it opened, it exposed a big, spacious apartment. Some furniture, like couches and a refrigerator, were already in, waiting for use. Adam brought the suitcases into the apartment, and they both stood up, looking around, examining their new home.
"So, what do you think? " Adam asked her.
"I... I like it. A lot. " She looked up on him, fixing on his beautiful face. "And do you know what I like even more? The fact that we will finally live together. "
He smiled, and they kissed.
"You know what I think? " He mumbled while they were kissing.
"What? " She said and stopped kissing him.
"I think... that we should inaugurate this place. "
"Mm... " she said, kissing him again. "I like this idea. "
They made love, just like that, on the couch. In those wonderful moments she felt like she is necessary, like she is important to someone. Adam made it clear all the time- he needs her, but she couldn't believe him in 100 percents. She wasn't convinced. She couldn't be.
In the morning, they woke up together. Alice woke up first, breaking apart from Adam, and went to the bathroom. Adam woke up completely after few minutes, coming after her.
"Morning, " he told her, kissing her on the cheek while she brushed her teeth. She smiled.
"Morning, " she tried to say but it was impossible when her mouth was flooded by the combine of water and Colgate. He laughed on her.
"I am taking a shower first! " she called after she washed her mouth.
"Well, you have an important day today. I guess I can give up this time. "
"Hey! " she called. "I am always first! "
"If you say so. "
She knew he was just trying to annoy her, so she laughed.
"Okay, I am ready! " She called, and went out of the bathroom. She had been wearing a dark blue shirt and black pants, with low, black heels. Adam clapped his hands together and she laughed.
"You put up some makeup, too? " he asked. "I am afraid I will have to compete with this House on you. "
"Yeah, right, " she said in amusement. She looked at herself in the mirror. This shirt defiantly emphasizes her blue-gray eyes and her bright, blond hair.
"Well, it is okay, right? Not too much and not too less. "
"You look fantastic. Now go ahead before you will be late. "
"Oh, shit! I forgot to call for a taxi. "
"Already did that. "
"You are amazing, " she told him and kissed him. "I will catch with you up later. "
"Good luck! " he called after her, while she was running outside to the cab.
The hospital was way bigger than she imagined. How will she find Doctor House? She paid for the taxi and came into the big, white building.
She found a reception and came over.
"Excuse me, " she said to the receptionist, "I came for an interview... "
"Doctor House is on the third floor. " the receptionist told her without blinking.
"Is he interviewing other people? " Alice asked in fear.
"Of course, it is House. Don't you know him? "
What a stupid question. Of course she doesn't know him if she came to her first interview!
"Yeah... Well, thanks. " She left the reception and walked to the elevators when she sudden bumped into someone.
"Oh, I am so sorry... " She called in embarrassment. It's her first day here and she is already bumping into people. She looked up on the guy- he was pretty handsome, and looked very alike Adam. Like a perfect Australian, with his blue eyes and his blond hair.
"No problem, " he smiled. He had a British accent. "Where are you heading to? "
"Doctor House is interviewing me for a new job."
"Oh, you are kidding! I am working with him. "
"Really? " she got interested.
"Yes. I assume that you came to try to be the fourth diagnostician in House's team. "
"Indeed. " she said, her fear fades away for some reason.
"Well, good luck for you. " He laughed and she suddenly filled with fear again.
"Thanks, I think, " she said confused and moved on her way to the elevator. She clicked on the third floor, "Diagnostic's department".
When the elevator opened, she left it and entered into a long hallway, full of rooms. People were running around, talking with their mates, checking results and moving from one room into another. She trembled with excitement a little, and began searching for Doctor House's room. When she found it, she knocked on the door. Someone called: "Come in! " with a friendly voice and She felt safer now, when knowing that he is at least nice. She came into the room and two people looked at her now- the first one she had noticed, with a brown hair and friendly appearance, smiled over her. The other one just looked at her, examining her and her body. He had blue, sharp eyes, and dark hair that began turning gray. He seemed around his 40-50's, but still attractive, she thought to herself.
"Sit down, please, " the friendly man called, and she understood that he was the one that invited her in.
"Alice in wonderland, " The older man said mockingly, lasting every syllable. "Did your parents call you after that? "
"I don't know. " she answered, surprised.
"Well, lets hope that they weren't doped as Alice was. " He smiled in some kind of scorn and looked at her. She wasn't sure how was she supposed to react.
"I assume that you are Doctor House. " she said slowly and carefully.
"Your assumption is correct. See? That's a good start for a doctor. "
She looked at the younger man now, who returned her an apologized look.
"So, Alice, why do you think you are suitable for this job? " The younger man asked her immediately, and Alice noticed that on his tag the name "James Wilson" was printed.
"Well, I think that I am good for this job. I have a lot of patient, and I finished my studies as an excellent student at the university-"
"In the real life, all that matters is to diagnose people correct and not a stupid document that shows that you are an excellent student. You see, " House said, "Patients don't really care if you are an excellent student or some lousy homeless. They want you to make them feel better, by fixing them or giving them drugs. "
"I know that. " she said sharp, almost offended. But she kept on restraint.
"Alice learned at Hopkins University. " Doctor Wilson called in excitement. "House learned there too. "
"Hopkins, huh? Badass university. " House called in mockingly again.
"Look, " Alice said at once, surprising the both Doctors and even herself. "I have the feeling that you wont hire me even if I learned at the best university or the best diagnostician. "
"Rational sense, that's important. " House said, not impressed.
"But I can prove that I fit here. I will be a great Doctor if you let me try. " She got up to her legs now, picking up her bag in determinism. She walked to the door and opened it, and looked at House just one more time- he looked at her back, in the same examining look again- and she left his office.
In the hallway she saw the same young and Australian doctor. He noticed her and came to her.
"How did it go? " He asked her.
"I don't think it will work out. " She told him in desperate, nodding her head. "But thanks. "
"You are welcome, " he said in his British accent. "I'm Chase. " He told her by the way, and they shook hands. "I hope that I will work with you, someday. "
"I hope, too. " she smiled. She turned her look back and saw House standing outside his office, looking at her. She returned him a short look and then turned her face to Chase.
"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you. " She said, and he smiled. She got into the elevator and looked at House again. He was still looking at her, now differently... But she didn't return him a look now.
