Author's Note: Let me start this by saying I am a major Thirteen fan! So this story basically follows her. I think she and House understand each other better than anyone else...but we'll get to that in the story. This is going to be a kind of long one, and I promise I'll try to keep the chapters coming fast! I have five chapters done after this one, so I'll put them up one by one as I keep writing because I like to stay a few chapters ahead. I have a pretty good idea of how it's going to end up, but then again that might change. Also (disclaimer) obviously I don't own any of this.
The title is Mirror, Mirror, but it isn't specifically tagged to that episode. This takes place anytime after what's already aired.
This isn't really a chapter, more of a prologue/teaser. Part 1 coming tomorrow hopefully!

She wrote two letters that day.
Thanks for not broadcasting news of my resignation. I know it's completely against your nature to put a filter between your brain and your mouth...I'm going to miss that a little. You're an ass. Take your own advice - self-destruction is not a way of cheating death.

House would find the note on his desk in the morning.
Eric,
I'm sorry. You'll never believe this, but I'm not running away. It's not your fault, and it's not because I'm afraid of relationships. I need to start over. Please don't worry about me, I learned a lot at PPTH. I'm enrolled in a clinical trial at another hospital. I promise I'll take good care of myself and even let other people take care of me when I need it. I'll never forget you.

She glanced around the apartment one last time, slung her knapsack on her shoulder, then picked up her one bag and turned the doorhandle. The lights flipped off, the door swung shut, and she was gone.
Any thoughts? Comments are great =)
