House's War: Battle of Plainsboro
House opened the door to his apartment. The entire ride home Moriarity's words kept rolling through his head. As his bag and helmet hit the floor, House shook out of his jacket. Why does it happen with her? He thought it was finally over – he had convinced her to move on. Now he had to convince himself.
He walked back to his bedroom. Sitting down, he shook off the shoes and his pants. A good night sleep is what he needs, everything will look better in the morning. He closed his eyes.
He found himself outside a small building unsure of what he was doing there. He witnessed the doors open
and people were filing out. House saw Cuddy talking as they walked away. He couldn't hear anything.
Curiosity got the better of him, so he walked inside. "Great a Funeral Home." – House mumbled.
People mulled around the front, some he recognized and others he didn't. A sense of dread filled his heart,
But he continued forward.
House recognized Chase and Foreman stand the front, chatting with a few of the nurses from the hospital. It
was then that he turned toward the coffin – hoping not to see what he knew he would.
Suddenly everything and everyone had vanished. House watched as a small figure rolled though the door. House saw himself wheel to the coffin. Slowly the 'older' House pulled out a red rose and placed inside the coffin. "I'm sorry."
House stepped up to take his place, looking inside. She looked like she was just sleeping. He reached down to brush a stray hair from Cameron's face. He had almost touched her when everything went blank.
House woke with a start. It was going to be a long night.
