This is a prequel to 'Moments like These' my other story. Just to remind you, I don't own any of the House M.D characters and the ones you have never heard of are solely mine. Please email me in some way if you would like to use them. Any songs in here are my own lyrics, unless stated

Allison raced through the corridors holding onto the side of Marisa's bed tightly. "don't worry Marisa, everything's going to be fine, trust me" they entered the operating theatre where Chase and Foreman were pulling on their latex gloves. She did the same thing and then they lifted Marisa onto the operating table. This was going to be one hell of an operation, and Allison was ready for anything that was thrown her way.

Sitting at her desk 6 hours later Allison felt satisfied with how the operation went. Marisa was now heavily sedated on sleeping gas and painkillers. Allison had taken a shine to the 13 year old after she had come in complaining of abdominal pain. They had to remove a kidney, her appendix and one of her ovaries because of an untreated parasite that had affected her. The 13 year old had an irresistible smile that had melted Allison's heart when she first met her and now they were like sisters, practically. House had told her off for getting too attached to Marisa but Allison had ignored him and continued visiting her after hours to see how she was. Allison was reminded of herself when she was 13, a very strong and determined teenager always conning her parents into getting her way with problems and decisions. What did you expect from a girl in a family of 7 children? She Shifted all of her paperwork into the 'not done' file and leant back on the soft leather chair. Today had been stressful, there was no doubt about that.

(these are very short chapters, I don't have much time to write them! Sorry! Anyways check out Moments Like These before you read any further! This is a prequel!)
