Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. School has been insane. AND.. Sorry that this chapter is sort of short . We had to get some filler stuff out of the way in order to really dig down deeper. ALL HOUSE AND DIOLOGUE IS OWNED BY DAVID SHORE AND THE LOVELY PEOPLE AT FOX AND HOUSE! :)

I hope you are enjoying. (I'll have the next chapter up soon I promise and it will be much better than this one…)

She arrived at Trenton and saw just what a mess it was. Debris was everywhere. Fire trucks, ambulances, flood lights. Police officers, blockades, danger signs. Helicopters flying overhead searching for survivors. It was bigger than she had expected.

Okay Lisa, pull it together. Look at this. You need all your focus going into your patients not your love life. She took a deep breath pushed her bangs behind her ears and went in search of one of the firefighter on staff when the accident occurred.

All the sudden she heard the hum of a motorcycle. Knowing exactly who it was she made sure she had all her focus on the firefighter.

She looked over at House and knew she had to get to work. Too many lives were in danger here. She was frightened by the screams of pain, the moans and utter fear that people were experiencing. Her problems were nothing compared to this. She looked around again at all the destruction and then threw herself into the craziness of what was going on around her.

She found an older man who had been carried out of the debris and began examining him.

"Sir, we have to get you to the OR. You have a bad wound but we are going to pack in and transport you as fast as we can." The man looked at her, still in shock.

She got up and began talking to a paremedic when all the sudden behind her she heard House's voice.

"Move on. This guy's dead"

She began to come back "His wounds are…"

But she was interrupted immediately. "Forget the wounds. Look at his toes. Athroscalotic emboli. He'll never survive the surgery."

She attempted to come back at him but he persisted. She knew he was right but she couldn't let him know that. But as soon as the ambulance drive came over she knew she had to tell him not to take the man. He was right dammit. He was right; it would be a waste of an ambulance ride, surgeon's time and could honestly take away from someone who really needs the surgery.

She ran off and treated a few more people. She mainly found some minor scrapes and scratches, a few people needing stitches. She treated a few head injuries and packed up some wounds for transport back to the hospital and OR. She saw a couple of people with broken bones and got them ready for transport.

Though she was focused on the patients she was tending to, she knew her mind was wandering off. What is my future like with Lucas? Is this honestly what I really wanted? I know House doesn't seem like a logical choice but…

In the middle of her thought she heard House talking about the crane operator and going back to Princeton-Plainsburo.

"House. No, I need you here."

"But he needs me there."

She was getting frustrated. This is why I need to forget these feelings. He makes me so angry sometimes. Gahh. "There were over 100 people in that building only 76 have been accounted for. Your team can handle the crane operator for now."

House rolled his eyes. She knew that she had taken away his fun. She took away his challenge. He walked away and she saw him pull out his phone. Knowing that he was off to call Wilson she walked away to tend to other patients.

But it was moments like this she really wondered what she saw in him. He was an asshole to her. He always had something rude to say. But she looked past all that. She knew he cared about everything he did. She knew deep down he did care. He cared about the patients. Even if he made it seem like a game to everyone else, when he lost a patient it really got him and it took him a while to get over, if ever.

Little did she know that she would see the extent of what a patient could to him….
