Chase was becoming more and more convinced he was a Valentine's jinx. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't remember really having a successful Valentine's Day and he began to wonder why the fuck he still tried to make an effort. Of course, the
whole day didn't go down the crapper. In fact, the
day was fine. Excellent, actually. He spent it in New York with Rogue and they'd basically had a ball, mostly spent unable to keep their hands off each other, no matter what the location.
But it had veered off onto the path of crap after that. He had since discovered that House had paid one of the med students to spike his and Wilson's drinks, which explained why Chase got so sloshed so quickly and had little to no recollection of the events of the night.
Especially that bloody voicemail.
What had he wanted to say to her? He had no idea. He even toyed with the idea of getting drunk all over again to see if Dr Idiot showed himself again and finished his sentence. But the sensitive gut leftover from the raging hangover stopped that train of thought.
He peeled off his mask, gloves and hat, tossing them in the contaminated waste. It had been an arduous surgery and now he had to put in three hours of Clinic duty before he could go home because that had been part of the deal he'd made to get House to come to the party. For the fucking life of him, he now couldn't remember
why he wanted House there in the first place. He decided not to bother changing out of his scrubs and just pulled his lab coat on over the top of them and pushed his way out of the Operating Theatre.
