Chapter 3:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chase woke up the next day. His alarm clock actually woke him up this time! Chase got up and took a shower, correction a 'hot shower'.
"I guess this day isn't going to be that bad after all." Chase said, but spoke to soon. All of a sudden a pain bolted up his leg, which caused him to scream.
"Well, except for that." He murmered. Chase got ready for work, then went to eat breakfast. He really didn't feel like cooking so he grabbed a bowl of cereal and sat down. Chase soon finished his breakfast and grabbed his breif case, and crutches, then sat down on the couch awaiting Cameron's arrival.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So how's Mr. 'Bad-luck's' luck today?" Cameron asked while driving into the parking-lot of the hospital "My luck is actually fairly good today." replied Chase while the car came to a complete stop.
"Thanks for taking me to work." Chase said and got out of the car. "I'll drive you home to if you want." Cameron replied. "Thanks, but Foreman told me that he was going to take me home tonight." Chase said and the two entered into the Princeton, Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
"Phone call for Dr. Chase, line one." A nurse said over the intercom. "Come on, you can get it up stairs." Cameron said and the two went to the meeting room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello, this is Dr. Chase." Chase said. "Your kidding..., no, I don't, well I don't know what to tell you, well call me at home tonight, no, leave me alone, no your not, don't even think about it, I don't want you there, leave me alone!" Chase hung up the phone. House, Cameron, Foreman, and Wilson looked questionly at Chase. "Bloody Cousins." Chase murmered. "Umhum, I see you have the same reaction to your cousins as I do to my friends...," House replied, "If you would call them that."
"Phone call for Dr. Chase line two, phone call for Dr. Chase, line three, and four." A nurse said over the intercom. "Oh no." Chase murmered and picked up the phone, "Hello this is Dr. Chase. " Chase said, "If you call me back at home I might consider it, NO! I did not say that! Stop putting words in my mouth, that's exactly what your doing, no your the one who's an idiot, what do you mean I owe you two hundread dollars, I don't want to! Leave me alone!" Chase slung the phone down, "Stupid tell-a-marketer." he murmered. "Aren't you going to get that?" Wilson asked pointing at the phone.
Chase looked down at it, "No." House looks at Chase then at the phone, "Get it." Chase looks in horror at the phone then picks it up, "Hello?" Chase asked, he was horrified thinking of the possibilities of who it could be.
"Yes, yes I know who you are, no, I don't have enough for myself, ask someone else, I know I work in a Hospital, yes I know that, I know your situation, but if I give you that I won't have enough to live on, how much? What! Your kidding, you have to be, I can't, ask granna, or Mum, I can't provide that much money, I'm sorry, bye." Chase hung up the phone, "Uncle David, goes out gambling with his paycheck, always wants money." Chase said and pushed number four,
"Hello?" "Hey hon, you what? I'm sorry to hear that, I know, I don't know if I can forgive you or not, that's serious, I can't believe you did that, I'm sorry, oh, you didn't call to ask me to forgive you, oh you wan't forgiveness, but you want to..., I, I, um, I don't know what to say, okay what ever you say...," Chase hung up the phone without even saying good-bye, he put his head in his hands and laid his head on the table.
"What was that about Chase?" Wilson asked. "Nothing.., just my fiancee Kelly, she uh...," Chase started, but couldn't continue because he was crying. "She what?" Wilson asked. "Um, she was cheating on me, and I uh, she want's forgiveness, but she's breaking up with me, um she's sending me all of my things back, I'll send her her's too." Chase said.
"I'm sorry Chase." Wilson said, just then the phone rang. Chase was grabbing for it, but House reached it first..,"Hello, oh yes, your Kelly, Oh okay, let me tell you something, Chase is a great worker at this hospital, and he is always dependant, I can't believe you just dumped him, and if you ever call this hospital, I will slap a law suit on you as fast as a plane lift off, understand, Is that clear, good crystal is even better." House hung up the phone and paged the front desk, "Send all of Dr. Chase's phone call's to my office, okay?" "Yes, sir." The nurse said and House walked over to Chase, "You need some time off?" "Nah." Chase said, "I'll be fine."
"You sure?" House asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine." Chase said. All of a sudden House's phone rang. "I'll get it." House walked into his office and answered the phone. "Hello?" "No this is not, this is Jimmy Waters house, yes, that's allright, um see Princeton, Plainsboro Teaching Hospital has changed their phone number, I don't know, thanks, bye." House walked back into the meeting room.
"Jimmy Waters?" Wilson asked. "Yeah, that was an old highschool name, that belonged to the water boy, his name was well, Jimmy." House said and sat down. "Um, House, I need to go do some clinic duty." Chase said. "Yeah, so do I, but I am busy." House said and the phone rang again, "Bye." House walked into his office.
Chase, Cameron, and Foreman went to the Clinic and Wilson went to House's office. "You need some help?" Wilson asked. House threw Chase's cell-phone at Wilson, "Yeah sure." "Hello, City Morgue?" House replied. He pushed another button, "Works every time, Ola?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
House and Wilson had been answering the phone for about six hours now, and they were starting to get aggrivated. Chase, Cameron, and Foreman walked in, "So how many minutes has my phone used?" Chase asked. "It's about to go dead, and I think House has died.
The four looked over to House, he was asleep with the phone up to his ear. Cameron grabbed the phone, and Foreman grabbed the one in the meeting room, and began to answer the rest of the calls.
"Thanks for doing this for me." Chase said. "Your welcome, I'm sure you would do the same for us." Wilson said. "Um, are you going to wake him up?" Chase asked. "No, his leg was hurting and he didn't want to go get another perscription of Vicodin, so I gave him a medicine, he was out of it within the next five minutes...," Wilson said,
"I'll take him to his house, do you need a ride?" Wilson asked. "Nah, Foreman done offered." Chase asked.
Cameron and Foreman entered into House's office, "Are you going to wake him up?" Cameron asked. "I gave him some medicine, so he's out for the night." Wilson said. "I'll help you take him home if you need some help." Cameron offered. "Yeah, I need someone to drive his car home...," Wilson started. "Sure, as long as you bring me back here so I can get my car." Cameron said. "Okay." Wilson said and the four headed off to the parking lot, rolling House in a wheel chair.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Um, you can come in if you want." Wilson said. "Okay." Cameron followed Wilson and House into House's apartment. She took in every little plaque, to every peice of wallpaper that he had, it was a cosey little house, something she could learn to live in. "What are you thinking Cameron?" Cameron asked herself. "Stop being so foolish."
"Huh?" Wilson asked. "Nothing." Cameron said. "You ready to go?" "Yeah, sure." She replied and the two headed off toward the hospital.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, you need a ride tommorrow morning?" Foreman asked. "Yeah, thanks." Chase said and got out of Foreman's car. "Your Welcome, see ya." Foreman drove off.
Chase was afraid to go into his house, he didn't know what would happen. Chase slowly opened the door, and walked into his apartment, "I hope nothing bad happens." he thought and closed the door behind him.
