A/N: Ok, This chapter is again very personal. So please...

It's been a few weeks since the team met Danielle. House and her have been getting along very well. But Today was a rough day. So on his way home, He picked up some liquor, hoping that Danielle would want to have a drink with him. He was thankful it was Friday so neither of them had work the next day. To his surprise,when he walked into his apartment, Danielle was sitting at his island, looking at a notebook, drinking some of his Scotch.

"Danielle?" He asked. She looked up. Her eyes were rimmed red and her nose was red as well. He could clearly tell that she had been crying.

"Hey Gregory." She said with a slight sniffle. "hope you don't mind, I was out of liquor and I really needed a drink." she drained the glass. He put down the liquor he bought on the table.

"I got Some more scotch and Some vodka." He said. Danielle gave a small smile. He slid into the bar stool next to her. "So what happened?" Danielle shook her head.

"After school today, Some kids beat one of our students to death." House Poured her a new glass. "The fight started right outside my classroom. I thought i had broken it up. Apparently the bullies were just waiting for him outside when he was walking home. Beat him to death." She Drained the glass. She looked at him. Something was off. "What's going on with you?"

"Lost a patient today." He said, refilling their glasses. "We thought he had cancer, so we gave him radiation. He ended up having a infection."

"The radiation killed his immune system." Danielle finished. "And the infection killed him."

"Yup." House said. As they finished off the bottle and he opened the new one, Danielle asked about the details about his leg. He explained it, and all about Stacy. Which led to talk about Cuddy.

"So what's with Dr. Cuddy?" Danielle asked. "I feel like there's some tension between you."

"I was in love with her." He said plainly. "And it was like She didn't even care. I mean at one point we dated and I was clean for a while until she broke my heart. Then Jimmy had tyo help me get clean again." He sighed. "I was an addict. I was addicted to Vicodin. It helped with the pain in my leg. I guess she just didn't want that around her daughter." He shrugged. Danielle reached over to him.

"I know what it's like to be hurt by people you love. Especially someone you are in love with." She said.

"I highly doubt you have any idea what I went through." House said draining his glass.

"I do. I dated this kid Henry. I thought he was perfect but then he left me randomly for some fat chick who was supposed to be one of my best friends."

"That isn't that bad."

"You're right." Danielle said. "Henry hurt me but it wasn't the worst. That was done by William, my first boyfriend."

"What'd He do?" House asked as Danielle drained her glass.

"I fell in love with him." Danielle started. House refilled their glasses again. "I was young, He was my best guy friend freshman year of high school. He gave me everything I had wanted at the time. So I gave him everything. My money, and worse, my virginity." Danielle's eyes began to tear up as she talked. She drained the glass and House poured her another. "He cheated on my multiple times. I knew it. I felt it in my gut, in my heart. My friends and family told me he was. I didn't want to believe them. I couldn't believe them. I pretended like nothing was happening. I lost my two best friends, Zoey and Keesh Because of him. I mean i have them back now, but I had to go two years without the. Then he was telling people he was with another girl when we were supposed to be engaged. So I told him I had had enough, I went out with Henry and then he says it's my fault we didn't have our little family." Danielle Scoffed. "Yeah right, it's my fault you abused me and hurt me." She threw the notebook on the floor. "Screw you William." She started crying heavily., House put an arm around her.

"He abused you?" He asked. There was a tiny hitch in his voice. And Danielle noticed it. She looked up at him.

"Emotionally, mentally, and verbally. I left before it got to physical." She wiped her eyes. She noticed something about him. Something in his face that he wasn't telling. "Were you abused?" House didn't answer but his blue eyes clouded. Danielle saw it. "You were. Who? A parent?" He didn't say anything for a while.

"My parents drunken fights sometimes got pretty bad." That was all he offered her. In her mind, Danielle put the rest together.

"I know how hard it is to trust someone after they have burned you so badly." Danielle said. House nodded in agreement. The sat in silence for a while, and all that was heard were Danielle's sniffles. Then She looked up at him and just stared. House noticed.

"What?" He asked.

"Your eyes," Danielle said. "Are the most brilliant color blue." She leaned in towards him and he took the opportunity and kissed her, hard. Hew went to try and pick her up but she pulled away. "Greg," She whispered. "I know I'm light, But i don't want you to hurt yourself. Come on." She was only 100lbs but she was right, he couldn't afford to mess up his leg anymore. She led him into his bedroom. Danielle gently pushed him down onto his bed and straddled him. She knew that they were most likely only doing this because of the amount of alcohol they had in their systems. But she also knew that this wasn't something that they'd- or at least she'd- Regret. She was becoming more and more attracted to him. And as the time went on, More Clothes fell to the floor.
