I do not own any of the characters of House I'm just a big fan who enjoys using her imagination. Please, feel free to review!
Cuddy walked down the hall passed the diagnostics department only to be met with the memories of what transpired only a few weeks ago. A bus accident had caused House to suffer a concussion while, Amber to die and Wilson to blame House for what he remembered of the four hours prior to the crash. A sound from within caused the dean of medicine to look up into the eyes of one doctor Eric Foreman who gestured for her to come in. Once inside the conference room Cuddy had a seat at the table while watching her employee poor two cups of coffee. Handing one to his boss Foreman had a seat, crossed his arms over chest and sighed. Smirking to herself Cuddy replied "I've been doing a lot of that lately."
"(pause) How is he?"
"Better, House has come out of the coma but he still isn't talking."
Shaking his head at this comment Foreman replied "How could he do it? How could House have risked his life to save Amber."
"Because he and Wilson are friends, at least they were at the time."
Foreman shrugged "I guess I was wrong about House, he's not…..evil."
Arching an eye brow at this comment Cuddy took a sip of her coffee while peering down at her pager which had just gone off. "Well, you two can kiss and make up later, right now I have to make a "house" call."
Meanwhile, House sat up in his hospital bed massaging his temples while starring at a picture in a magazine one of the nurses had given him. The picture was of a man and a woman sitting on a blanket holding each other and smiling towards the camera. The couple reminded him of Wilson and Amber, but non of that mattered now that she was gone. The sound of someone entering the room diverted the diagnostician's attention towards Cuddy as she slowly walked over to his side.
"You wanted to see me?" Nodding the diagnostician picked up the mini white board which had been conveniently placed on the bed and in a bold hand wrote what was on his mind.
I NEED TO GO HOME
"House, you still haven't fully recovered give yourself time to…"
BEEN IN BED FOR TWO WEEKS, PLEASE, LET ME GO, CAN'T STAY HERE, NOT WITH HIM
Now Cuddy understood completely after all having Wilson angry with House made for a very hostile work environment for everyone in the hospital. Nodding her head at this comment the dean of medicine held House's hand for a moment while replying "Okay, I'll give you a ride shortly, but there's something I need to take care of first."
"He's your best friend!" It took a few moments for Cuddy's heart to stop pounding after she had stormed into Wilson's office. The dean of medicine knew she had no right to be up set with the Oncologist sitting before her. It was obvious that Wilson had loved Amber but still, Cuddy missed the way things were before.
"(Sigh) What's your point Cuddy? You think I don't what an ass I'm being? Look, I'm not mad at House if anything I'm mad at myself for not being there instead of Amber but I….I just can't look at him without thinking of her."
At this point in the conversation Wilson's eyes began to fill with tears as he wiped them away with his hand "I'm going to need some time off."
Nodding her head Cuddy placed a comforting hand on her friend's shoulder "Of course, take as much time as you need. (Sigh) I would just hate your friendship with House to end because of a technicality."
"Technicality?"
"House didn't cause the crash Wilson and neither did you."
(Well, that's it for now. What did you think? I'd appreciate hearing what my fellow writers and readers thought of my first submission. Thanks)
