That Night

Part 1

It was a hot , humid summer night the windy breeze rocks the trees outside her bedroom window with the moon shinning down from the sky.

Sitting on her bedcovers reading a book there is silence but the rustle of the trees from outside

'Creak, Creak'

Sounds that scared her she jumped up and looked around the room and quickly closed the window then sitting on the edge of the bed with her knees to her chest while rocking herself back and forth with her eyes closed waiting for her to wake up.

Suddenly out of nowhere, well aparantely from the open door damn forgot to lock it... a shadow figure stands above her she screams, though she is silenced with a knife to her throat.

After tying her up and blindfolding her so that she had noway of identifying him he forcefully strips her clothes and begins to undo the button on his pants as he forces himself upon her while she cries and screams in pain and terror.

Her wrists feel like her circulation has been cut off completely as well with her ankles, now paralyzed with fear of what he was going to do next

Slapping her doesnt shut her up so to end it, he picks up his knife once again and starts to cut into her stomach and begins to stab at he one, two, three, four and five timesr until he felt was enough that she was dead when there was silence in the room no more crying or screaming, he was in control., and from that he gets up and jumps out of the window..

15 Minutes later the police show up after the neighbours had heard screams and called the police

Meanwhile at Princeton plainsboro teaching hospital, Dr Greg House sits at his desk playing with his gameboy one of his amusements when boredom sets in which these days is quite often.

It was a good round that is until Dr Cuddy walks in the room and interruts him making him lose the game.

"Ah, Cuddy noo go away your interrupting me, look what you did now?"

Ignoring his comment she walks to him and looks at him in a serious way but then again whats new as he wonders what she wanted from him now, he had no urgent cases to work on at the moment, no one indesperate need for his help and Cameron had left after their argument earlier on in the day which he couldnt get off his mind.

"Patient in OR get in there NOW"

This was more of a demand and she had raised her voice at him which happens well rarely these days he just normally tolerates her whenever she is in a mood or something which is a everyday thing.

Greg puts his Gameboy console down on the table and faces her.

" what?.. I dont do surgerys too many body parts to comply with i will just sit here with you can get someone else to handle it, go and find cameron or Forman... uhh yes get chase who thinks he can do anything and everything, so yeah... thats it.."

Cuddy picks up his game from his hand as he had started playing once again ignoring her and she puts it in hr pocket trying to decide whether or not to just throw it in the trash.

"hey now, thats not very nice give that back or i wont report you"

Smirking at her, half annoyed and half angry, how dare she take his toys away from him that was his only fun around here.

"Cameron, its Cameron"

She said in an urgency waiting for him to get the hint and realize what she was saying to think about someone else but himself for once.

"yeah, yeah what about her?. so she's going to do it?..okay great now leave... Please"

he tries to shoo her away but she continues to stand there flabaghasted and angry at him for not getting it so she throws a file on his desk.

"No your idiot, its CAMMERON, like she is the patient was just brought in by the paramedics something is really wrong and i just thought you would have wanted to be there considering your kinda close with her , its bad really bad sonofabitch stabbed her 5 times not sure if she is going to make it"

One look at the file then he throws it back on his desk, he picks up his cane that was lying next to the wall and sped right out of the room like a speed of light.

No matter what he did or didnt feel for her there was noway he was going to let her die no way in hell that was going to happen, he would give anything and everything to save her.

As he made his way there all these thoughts and memories began to roll through his mind, their first meeting, their flirting, non date, then followed by their real date which hadnt gone smoothly thanks to him and his stupidity.

While preping for the surgery they bring her in and is taken aback to see her this way, blood everywhere, stab wounds, bruises .

She then suddenly awakens to find him above her.

" Greg.. uh i mean House, oh god... I'm sorry... pain..what happened, I'm glad your here... i..."

he looks at her coughing and finding every strength in her to get the words out, he kisses her forehead kneeling down next to her.

" Shh, Its okay be alright I'm here and im going to take care of you. and thats a promise but dont talk... all i know is that you were stabbed I'm going to save you, i wont let anything happen to you, i cant... i wont lose you now"

Looking into his eyes she knows he is telling the truth, no lies no sarcasm, nothing but the truth something you see rarely from him because like he says everybody lies and that includes himself.

" Listen to me...if... if i dont make it... dont be scared... i want... you to know... i...i love you..."

BEEPP BEEP

before he can respond her heart monitor starts beeping at him telling him that she is flatlining. oh god I'm losing her, NO!

"Lets get her in there before its too late"
