Soundtrack of my Life...

My life can be explained through my talent... Sometimes it doesn't turn out as I want it to. But since I met her... I can't help but break out into song.

I'm quite confused here...The show keeps going on about how House and Cuddy met at Michigan when they were both at college, but what I don't understand is that there is a eleven year age gap between them according to their bios. Cuddy is supposed to be 38 and House 49, but that just doesn't make sense does it? So for the benefit of this fanfic, House and Cuddy met at Michigan in 1989, when House was 23 and Cuddy was 17. For the sake of keeping to the lyrics, Cuddy got into college early cause she's so smart.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own House, David Shore does. I would love to own House, I would stop House and Cuddy pussyfooting around each other and get them together. I also do not own the lyrics to All Summer Long, Kid Rock does. I am simply playing with them, I get no profit.

Chapter 1 – All Summer Long

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long

He remembered that year with a passion.

He had rebelled against his father's wishes and gone to Michigan to continue to study medicine after being kicked out of Hopkins.

John House thought that his son should follow him into National Service and 'be a man'.

He had rebelled by cutting his hair 'like a girl' as his father put it. He never was one for trends.

1989, the year he went to Michigan. The year his life changed. The year he met Lisa Cuddy, who would be a big part of his life for many years to come.

Caught somewhere between a boy and man

Couldn't have said it any better...

At 23 years old, Greg House was very much a man in a teenager's body.

His friends, if you could even call them that, perhaps acquaintances couldn't keep up with his kid-like energy. It was this energy that made him such a great sportsman.

She was seventeen and she was far from in-between

The first time he met her, he was convinced she was around his age.

Her dark brown hair cascaded in curls down her back and her grey blue eyes pierced you to see right through you.

And her body....WOW was all he could think. Perfectly sculpted breasts, all natural and pure woman.

The shock he got when he found out she was 6 years younger and he was helping to teach her for his internship.


It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Michigan was where he first glimpsed her in all her glory.

Michigan was where he got to know her and understand what went through her mind.

Michigan was where he made her laugh and heard her cry.

Michigan was where he first fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the world.

Splashing through the sand bar

What a day that was, House thought.

She moaned because I got her feet dirty.

So I gave her a piggy back home.


Talking by the campfire

Greg House was an accomplished musician who has played guitar and piano from a young age. Lisa Cuddy was an above average singer. At night, they would set up a fire, roast marshmellows and sing their hearts out. Once all sung out, they would collapse under the stars and talk about their lives before the time they spent in Michigan.


It's the simple things in life, like when and where

It was hard to believe from his point of view, that he was lucky enough to meet the woman of his dreams in a place so far away from home.


We didn't have no internet

Kind of a given...

But we made our own entertainment....


But man I never will forget

I never forgot those days...

She was always on my mind, when I got the chance to come back, I jumped at it.


The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
I always loved her hair. I loved to put my hands through it or watch it sway in the breeze.


And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favourite song

He was the person to make Lisa try marijuana.

She was such a goody goody that it did take some effort.

But once she did, the things she did were hilarious!

One night, she got the munchies so bad, she tried to eat sand.

They'd try anything, then make love slow and tender to their song which was Heart Of Stone by The Rolling Stones.

He used to joke and say the song was him in a nut shell – he tried to warn her away from him, saying that she will get hurt. But Lisa Cuddy knew what she wanted, and she would eventually get her way.


Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

He was the first person to offer her whiskey.

She wasn't that keen on the taste at first, but then began to enjoy the buzz and confidence it gave her when she needed it, and mellowed her out when she needed it.

Watching the waves roll off the rocks

We'd just sit there on the beach, talking and watching the waves. She used to go there when she was angry, and the waves would calm her down. Like when her father died. An hour on the beach watching the waves, and I'd get my Lisa back, with her gorgeous smile and infectious laugh.


She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul

All my relationships were measured up against the time I had with her. Needless to say, no one ever came close.

We'd blister in the sun

Her porcelain skin got so burnt she couldn't lie down for ages. I had to rub after sun into her back, she honestly looked like a lobster.


We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

At night, we were back on the beach playing our music again.

It was our unique sound, and we loved it.

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change

Our summers were gone, and we were back at school. We didn't have time to chill on the beach.


Or how we thought those days would never end

I used to wish at night that college would last forever, so I wouldn't lose touch with her, but inevitably, everything comes to an end.


Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along

I've got our song on my IPod.

Whenever I hear it, I think of her and the time we had together.


And think man I'd love to see that girl again

I ended up working for her...

Think it's fate???
