Jesus fucking christ, House!

Imagine you're Wilson. Your self destructive best friend just got dumped. He's been hiring hookers and drinking and who knows what else. You can't pull him out of his latest self destructive bender. You tried. He turned you down and you come find him again, pushing your way through a crowd of partiers. Suddenly your attention is drawn to a fourth, maybe fith floor balconey. It's your friend, who you're searching for, standing on the railing.

Imagine the dread that must course through you. You think, this is it. He's going to go too far. He's going to jump. Maybe you think he won't really do it. Maybe you think he's just looking for attention when he waves at everyone below. And then he jumps, and you realize he's going to kill himself. Right in front of you, your best friend is going to kill himself and leave you alone. You watch him plummet, full of dread and fear and grief, and you scream. Like your desperate 'NO!' can stop him now, midair.

And then, slicing through your horrible devastation, he yells 'cannonball'. And he splashes into the water.

Imagine the cold shock of that. Imagine you try to get his attention, ask him what he's doing when he comes up for air, grasping for reassurance after that moment of certainty, of devastation cut short. But he brushes you off, and people jump in with him, and someone hands him a beer. And all you can do is turn around and walk. away. No answers, no apologies, nothing. You have to deal with thinking your best friend was going to kill himself infront of your eyes and the fact that he feels no remorse for putting you through that.
