A/N: Okay so the last two chapters have been quite short but they have really only been leading up to this one. Enjoy!

Chapter Twelve

Chase and Evie started to walk down the sidewalk. House and Cuddy had said they would take them all to get burgers after the let down they had suffered inside when the delectable snacks turned out to be nothing more then bits of raw fish.

House and Cuddy were still saying the formal goodbyes at the door.

"Wasn't it hilarious when Cuddy was making her toast and she mentioned House and everyone looked at him and he had been staring at Cuddy!" They both laughed, they had been going over the lighter moments of the tragically boring night.

"You looked really amazing tonight." Chase said stopping to look at Evie. She stopped.

"Thank you. You looked quite dashing!" She said smiling at him. That smile could still make him go weak in the knees.

"Hey, um maybe after burgers we could go back to my place…" He trailed off looking into her eyes. She entwined her hands with his.

"I would like that." She smiled and kissed him then suddenly pulled back and sneezed. She looked at Chase. "Huh, that was weird." He studied her.

"Your not becoming allergic to me are you, because I don't think I could stand that." He said jokingly, Evie smiled.

"No nev..." She couldn't finish because she sneezed again. And then again and again. "This is really weird." She said looking at Chase who was staring at her with concern. She suddenly shut her eyes tight and opened them again.

"What's up?" He asked worry quickly filling him.

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel really dizzy." Evie was starting to feel scared as she reached out to grab Chases arm. "I think it is passing."

But she was quite mistaken because as she said that she feel forward onto her knees.

"Evie!" Chase shouted her name but it seemed very far away. She could tell he was kneeling in front of her. She looked up at him but he wasn't coming into focus. "Evie can you hear me?" He was shining his pen light from his key chain into her eyes. The brightness was almost painful.

"Yes, I…" She tried to clear her throat. It felt like she had a hair in the back of it. "I…I…" She cleared her throat again and then looked up at Chase panic covering her face. It was getting harder and harder to breathe.

"Evie? Evie?" Chase kept saying her name but it was getting fainter and fainter. "House!" was the last thing she heard him call until a loud buzzing filled her ears.

She looked down at her chest and could see it raising and falling rapidly but no air was coming into her lungs, the dizziness was getting worse. Her hand flew to her neck as she fell forward and leaned on her other arm. She thought she could hear people yelling around her, then Chase let go of her shoulders.

'No! Chase! I want Chase! Don't leave me! Chase!' She tried to scream but nothing came out of her mouth.There was a blur of colour in front of her eyes. Someone was pulling her hand away from her throat. She couldn't breathe, white spots wear blossoming in front of her eyes. She was forced onto her back on the cold hard pavement. Someone was screaming her name. But then she blacked out.
