Two hours earlier.
House walked after Foreman as they walked into Chase's new apartment. He had ordered Cameron and Foreman too go but honestly, he was way too curious about his employee. Cameron was doing his bloodwork now and hoped that she had found something when they arrived.
There was boxes around the living room and because they knew that he had just moved and he had been sick the last few days, they were almost surprised that he had even managed to unpack some boxes. Foreman scavenged through the kitchen while House walked to the bedroom. The bed was still unmade and there were clothes laying around, especially a lot of ties and House smirked when he saw all the colored ties.
In the bathroom there was not much important either and he heard Foreman walking up behind him.
''How many hair products does Chase have?'' Foreman asked then, almost sarcastic.
''Well, more than you.'' House said then and they finished, looking everywhere for anything that could give them a clue on what was wrong with you.
''His fridge is empty.'' Foreman said then, the only thing he had really found out.
''Well, he only moved in a week ago, has been sick, maybe he didn't do groceries.'' House said as it was not really a clue.
''You look concerned.'' Foreman said then, squinting his eyes.
''That is just because I don't want to be bored by more interviews for a new member of the team if Chase dies.'' House said, pretending he didn't care.
''Besides, I don't want to be sued by Rowan Chase-''
''His dad is dead.''
''I was going to say widow. You know, his stepmom. Not that I think she cares about Robert, but I think she cares for money if she could marry Rowan Chase.'' House said, frowning as he looked through the bedroom one more time.
''Must be a big disillusion that Chase is just as boring as all of us.'' Foreman scoffed.
''His weird toys and drugs are probably still in a box.'' House said sarcastic as they walked out.
Now
Chase laid in the bed, his nosebleed had finally stopped but he was even more worried now. The worst part of this all was probably that he really was a doctor and that the most horrible diagnosis went through his head right now. He turned his head, looking at the hallway again. Some people were walking by and a nurse walked past, looked inside. Her eyes met his and she looked down to the ground, rushing past the window. It was like he was the new main attraction of the hospital now.
Suddenly he saw Cameron walking by and she almost ran. His room was between the lab and the diagnostics office and he started to window ir she was the one that had done his bloodwork. Something inside told him that House had gone to his apartment because his boss sure wouldn't let pas this Opportunity to look through his apartment.
It all took so long and he really wondered how their patients could stay this calm. He sat up slowly, panting by just moving and looking down at his hand he sat how bad the bruising around the needle of the IV was becoming.
Again, his mind raced through all the diagnosis that could be related but he shook his head, tried to forgot about it. He felt nausea and was still sweating and when he wiped the sweat from his forehead and le this hand go through his hair he looked a little started at the clump of blonde hair that was now between his fingers.
The door opened and Cameron looked a little surprised as she saw him with the blonde hair in his hands. Foreman and House walked in right after Cameron.
''I think my hair is falling out.'' Chase said a little startled.
''Oh, are you really that concerned about your hair?'' Foreman said then.
''not about my hair, but I am scared I might be dying.'' Chase said then, angry. Foreman backed off a little. Chase looked at Foreman with one more angry glance.
''Oh, your hair.'' Cameron sighed then.
''Doesn't matter, this is just a clump of hair, maybe it was just this.'' Chase said then. '''Think about a diagnosis.''
Cameron nodded.
''How did the bloodwork come out?'' Chase asked then, scared that it might be bad, trying not to think about his hair. He could be sad about it now but they first needed to get a diagnosis.
''Your platelets are really low.'' Cameron said then.
''It wasn't before.'' Chase said then. ''Get the board, I want to help you DDX.''
''no, you are sick, you are our patient.'' Cameron said.
''No, I can help you.'' Chase said then, his voice almost breaking and House shook his head.
''You need to get some rest.''
''No…there is my kidneys…my blood…my hair. Think.'' Chase said then, but he started to cough because it strained so much on him.
''Rest.'' House said then.
''At least take my bone marrow…if there is something wrong with my blood it could affect my kidney's. Maybe that will figure out what is wrong with me.'' Chase said then.
''You know we can't do that, if we take your bone marrow now, you could keep bleeding.'' House said.
''I know you can't do it the way you should do it…but you are House, I was sure you could figure something out.'' Chase said so sad it Cameron tilted her head again and for a second, it seemed like House also felt really bad now.
''Platelet transfusion.'' Chase said then. ''Get a donor as quick as possible and give me platelet transfusion. That could mean I could have the bone marrow biopsy.''
''You know how long that could take before we find a donor?'' Foreman said.
''You know how I don't want to be sick, or lose my kidneys, or die!'' Chase said, finally racing his voice, almost exhausted now and House nodded.
''If we found a donor fast, we can give you the transplant and then hopefully we can do the biopsy very soon, hopefully.'' He said then.
''Go look for a donor…please.'' Chase said then and Foreman and Cameron walked out, House standing there a little longer.
''I am not going to let you die. Don't say that you are scared to die.''
''I have seen you being wrong before…and I really don't want to die.'' Chase said then, scared and House felt bad because the man seemed to vulnerable now.
''We will find what is wrong with you.'' House said then and Chase nodded slowly.
''Promise?''
''Promise.'' House said then and he walked out.
''So, we are going to look for a donor now?''
''Don't waste any time. Chase and I both have A positive. Just take mine.'' House said then.
NOTE: We find out that House actually went to the apartment with Foreman. Nothing was found there. Chase is struggling in the hospital, trying to be a patient while he is thinking like a doctor and he is scared for what is coming. A bone marrow biopsy is something chase wants them to look at but they can't do it because of his low platelets and they are getting ready for a platelet transplant…with house being his donor…?
