A/N: Lyrics belong to some one else. The song's called "Breathe." I wrote it in as it was sung by my school's choir. Oh, and this chapter's heart-stoppingly scary.

Chapter Five: Oxygen and Best Friends

1:01A.M. house's office

House picked up the first pill and swallowed it.

This is the air I breathe,

This is the air I breathe.

Then the second.

Your holy presence living in me.

Now the third, and the fourth.

This is my daily bread,

This is my daily bread.

The fifth.

Your holy word spoken to me.

The sixth, the seventh.

And I, I'm desperate for you.

And I, I'm lost without you.

The eighth, the ninth.

This is the air I breathe,

This is the air I breathe.

The tenth.

Your holy presence living in me.

The eleventh, the twelefth.

This is my daily bread,

This is my daily bread.

And the thirteenth and final pill.

Your holy word spoken to me.

Then he drank all of the whiskey.

And I, I'm desperate for you.

And I, I'm lost without you.

House felt tired, dead tired.

Stifling a yawn, he laid down on the floor and closed his eyes.

And I, I'm desperate for you.

Wilson leapt over the brick wall that seperated his and House's balconies. He opened the door just as House stopped breathing.

And I, I'm lost without you.

"HELP HIM, WILSON. HE'S DYING," said a famillar voice from across the room.

"Kyla?" exclaimed Wilson in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"IT IS OF NO IMPORTANCE RIGHT NOW. HOUSE IS OF IMPORTANCE RIGHT NOW. YOU WILL NEED HIM MORE THAN EVER SOON," replied Kyla.

And I, I'm desperate for you.

And I, I'm lost without you.

Then Kyla was gone.

Wilson raced to House's side. He checked for a pulse. He couldn't find one.

And I, I'm deseperate for you.

And I, I'm lost without you.

Wilson began to compress House's chest, counting, "One-Two-Three."

This is the air I breathe,

This is the air I breathe.

"Breathe in, breathe out."

Your holy presence living in me.

"Compress, one-two-three."

This is my daily bread,

This is my daily bread.

"Come on, House! LIVE!"

Your holy word spoken to me.

Wilson checked for a pulse a second time.

And I, I'm deseperate for you.

And I, I'm lost without you.

"Weak, but it's there."

And I, I'm desperate for you.

And I'm lost without you.

Cuddy unlocked the door to House's office, since she had a key.

And I, I'm desperate for you.

"What happened, Wilson? Is he alright?"

"He...He tried to kill himself."

And I, I'm lost without you.

"I suppose it's a good thing House's unconcious. He'd only get in the way of the doctors in the ER."

"Why's that?"

I'm deseperate for you.

I'm lost without you.

"Kyla was shot. She's lost alot of blood. And the bullet's lodged in her spinal cord.
