A/N: I'm so sorry ... There were just so many things on my mind ... But I'll be trying to update earlier from now on!

Chapter 5

Silence.

I love to wake up before the sun has risen. Sometimes, not even the birds are singing at that time of the day. There's such a feeling of peace in the air.

It's even better than the fresh air after a big storm.

There aren't a lot of moments of silence in my life.

It's always "Dr. Cuddy, could you please …", "M'am, I need …", "Cuddy, can you …", "Lisa, you really have to …" … It's my own fault. After all, I have chosen to have this job, to lead this life …

But sometimes, I need a break.

When it all falls apart or I simply feel like I'm losing my mind, I take a run in the middle of the night. I run for hours through the streets and the park. And it's almost silent. And then, I'm almost able to forget all the chaos in my life. I almost feel free.

I need these runs.

Just like House needs his music ...
