This is my version for a follow-up for the episode Bombshells, titled "Cardiac Broken". Note: House is a little OOC, but not more than in season 7 episodes 1-15.

Disclaimer: I don't own the House (M.D.) series.

NOTE: Fixed 28.3.


At House's apartment in the bathroom:

Why was I this blind? I should've seen this coming. I'm nothing else than a drug addict doctor who...

House was woken up from his thoughts by a sudden pain his chest and left arm. His vision started blurring. "Fuck..." House said, stood up and started walking towards his living room.

He had just sat down on the couch when he heard Wilson yell from the door: "House! Open up now! We need to talk." He heard no response, so he tried the door and it was open. He walked in and saw House lying on the ground. "House, what have you done now?". He keyed in 911.

At the Princeton's:

"I really love you House, can't you see that?" Cuddy said.

"I failed you..." House said

"I need you House..." Cuddy started falling into the darkness.

"NO!" House woke up to find himself laying on the bed.

"Woah! Finally you woke up." Wilson said.

"What the hell happened?"

"You suffered an attack of V-tach. We had to do synchronized cardioversion to return your heart back to a normal rhythm."

"Damn." House said silently, almost whispering.

"Cuddy told me what happened. Why did you go on Vicodin again?"

House stayed silent. "You need to talk these things through House! You can't just leave them wandering in your mind..."

"That's why I have a physiologist. What have you found out?" Wilson handed House a folder containing results of blood tests, ECG and an echocardiogram.

"You have..."

"...cardiomyopathy and a left Bundle Branch block."

House continued before Wilson could finish. "I need to see Cuddy...Aah!"

"You're not going anywhere before your heart function is at least 70% returned, ok?"

Wilson said. House gave Wilson a look and gave a response:

"Fine." Cuddy walked into the room and gave an angry look at House.

"What? Vicodin doesn't cause cardiomyopathy. You kno...AAH!" The heart rate monitor started giving an alarm sound;

HR: 180 (blinking red)

Systolic BP: 99

Diastolic BP: 50

"Pulseless V-tach! Get a defib here quickly!" Wilson yelled at Cuddy and started doing CPR on House.

"Come on House, there are many medical mysteries out there needing to be solved! Don't die now." Cuddy and nurses arrive with the defibrillator, and one of the nurses places the pads on House's chest;

"Wilson, clear!" HR: 180 (blinking red) "No response. Clear!" HR: 0 "Give him 1 mg of Epinephrine now and continue CPR!"

Wilson and Cuddy leave the room. "...why is this happening?" Cuddy said almost in tears. "This is my fault."

"No it isn't! This is another medical mystery to solve. Tell them to connect House to heart-lung bypass and we'll find out what he has and cure him." Wilson said.

Cuddy remained silent. She rushed back into the room and said: "Stop the resusciation, we'll connect him to heart-lung bypass."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, do it!" House is rushed into the operation room. Please don't die now... I need you... I love you. Cuddy thought in her head.
