AN: Wow! I was not expecting over a hundred views in 3 days. Let alone 4 reviews! Thank you so much guys! *hugs* Now here's the new chapter!

Fall sucks sometimes. It's really cold outside. I walked down some of the streets to try and clear my mind. Of course it wasn't working. It would take a while to get used to living with House. Not to mention thinking of him as a father. I was jolted back to reality when I ran into someone. Being the short person I was I fell. I quickly got to my feet and regretted it. "Hey look! It's Shrimp Boy." said my enemy Timmy Brooks. He was with his pack as usual. So there would be no chance of escape.

"Hello Timothy. Found anyone new to bug?" I asked not really caring. Now Timmy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He's more of the big buff High School Wrestler. Timmy is 17 and is going into Junior year of high school in a few weeks.

"Shut up Dead Mommy Boy." Timmy said. That struck a nerve and I was still pissed off at House from this morning. I clenched my fist. I have never ever tried to fight Timmy. He just would attack me but today was different.

"You shouldn't of said that." I said. My anger was about to blow.

"What ya going to do?" He asked clearly not catching on. Usually this would be the part when I would run away but instead I punched him in the stomach. Timmy of course was a bit dazed but that didn't stop him from fighting back. Of course it only took him a few seconds to beat me to a pulp. "Don't touch me again Alec." Timmy said and spat on me. He and his group promptly left. I was still on PPTH's grounds. I could hear some one walking up to me. It was Dr. Wilson.

"Hey are you okay?" Wilson asked.

"Fine." I said as I stood up. I didn't want House finding out about the fight. He'd probably label me as weak.

"House is looking for you." Wilson said and gestured for me to follow him.

Wilson led me to the cafeteria. House was at the end of the line. We walked up to him. Wilson and House started talking. House looked over at me and noticed I wasn't grabbing anything. "You need to eat." House said.

"I'm not hungry." I said and hoped he would drop it.

"You didn't eat any breakfast." House said. Of course he wasn't going to drop it.

I grabbed a bag of chips. "There happy?" I said.

House didn't answer. We sat down at a table and ate. When Wilson finished eating he said he had a patent to go see. After Wilson left House stared at me. "What?" I asked.

"You were in a fight." He said.

"No I wasn't." I lied but House could tell that I lied.

"Who was it?" House asked.

"A guy from my old school." I said and looked at my shoes. I didn't want to look House in the face. He must want to dump me on the streets any second now.

"Did he deserve it? You obviously got a few good hits in." House asked.

"This time no." I said and looked back up at him.

"He bothered you before?" House asked.

"Every single day." I said.

House just nodded. At least he didn't want to kick me out. "I looked into you're collage application at Princeton." He said.

"And?" I said.

House handed me a letter. "It got lost." House said.

I looked at the front of the envelope and stared at my name. "Well open it." House said.

Dear Alec Gregory House,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Princeton with you're Major in Biology and Minor in Music...

I quickly read the rest of the letter. It gave me some information about what to do before school started.

"I got accepted?" I asked.

"It seems so." House said. I was shocked. I didn't think I would get into Princeton even though I had a 4.0 GPA. I set the letter down. House took it and read it. "Music?" House questioned.

"Uh yeah... Mother always said you and her were talented. I picked up my first guitar when I was 4. She also taught me piano. I've gotten vocal lessons as well." I told him.

"How good are you?" House asked.

"I've never thought I was very good but everyone else thinks I am." I said.

I saw a woman walk up to House. "House is this a patent?" She asked.

House sighed. "No Cuddy it's my son that I just met yesterday." He said.

"Just because you told you team that and they believed it doesn't mean I will." Cuddy said.

"We are still waiting for the DNA test to come back if you want anymore proof." House said.

I stood up. "Hello I'm Alec it's nice to meet you." I said to Cuddy and stuck out my hand for her to shake.

"You too Alec." Cuddy said and shook my hand. "You still have clinic duty House." She said.

"But Mommy I wanted to go play." House said and pouted.

"Go." Cuddy said and pointed to the door.

"Meet me at the entrance in a few hours Alec." House said and left with Cuddy in tow.

I stood by the exit of PPTH waiting for House. I stared at my cell phone contacts. There was only two contacts. My mother and my Youth Minister Jimmy. I wanted to call Jimmy to talk about things but he probably thinks I'm dead. I mean I was in the car crash with my mother...

"Mother can you stop talking on the phone and driving?" I asked my mother and looked over at her. She was talking to her new boyfriend Peter.

"One second Peter." She said to the cell phone and then looked over at me. "Honey we're almost home. Don't worry okay? Every thing will turn out fine." She said.

All the sudden a SUV severed into our lane and directly hit my Mother's side of the car. "Mom!" I yelled after the airbags went off. I saw her turn pale. She was dead...

I thought of my mother's last words. "Don't worry okay? Every thing will turn out fine." I was starting to tear up. It doesn't seem like anything is fine. Nothing at all. I looked down at my cell phone again. I was about to press call on Jimmy's number when House limped up to me. I shoved my cell in my pocket.

"Come on lets go home." House said to me and I followed him.

I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror. I was crying silently. I've haven't had a chance to cry about her yet. I was breaking down. I just couldn't do this anymore. I backed up into the wall and slid to the floor. I continued to sob. Why did this have to happen. Every thing was fine until the crash. I hit the back of my head on the wall. I didn't want to live here. I just wanted to see my mother again.

"You okay in there? It's been over 30 minutes." House asked from outside the bathroom door.

"I'm fine." I said and stood up.

"Then get out I need to use the toilet." House said. I opened the door and walked out with my head turned away from House so he wouldn't see that I was crying. I grabbed my iPod from my backpack and put on my massive Beatles collection. I slumped down on the couch and turned the volume up to the max. I was singing along to Let It Be when House tapped on my shoulder. I took my ear buds out. House sat down next to me. "You like the Beatles?" House asked.

"Yeah they are my favorite." I said and turned my iPod off.

"You're killing your ears at the volume." House said.

"Not like you'd care." I said before realizing I said it.

House tilted his head at me. "Why not?" He asked.

"Nothing it doesn't matter." I said hoping House would drop the topic.

"You were crying earlier." House said.

Of course he noticed. I sighed. "I'm not talking about it." I said and stood up. "I'm going to the library." I said.

"It's closed." House said.

"Not for me." I said and grabbed the key to the library from my backpack. "My mother used to work there." I said and walked towards the door.

"It's after your curfew." House said.

I could feel my sadness turning into anger. "You wouldn't give a shit if anything happened to me!" I yelled and ran out the door.
