I am so mad! House hasn't done clinic duty in over a week! Now I have to walk all the way to his office just to yell at him. Uhh! Sometimes that man makes me so mad, but other times. Other times I can barely control myself,sometimes he makes me melt. During these last few years, I kind of hoped that one day we would be together, but as the years to on, it seems less likely. We probably wouldn't work. We would get together, be happy for a while, break up for some stupid reason, and then we wouldn't talk for weeks. Eventually one of us would so something drastic, and then one of us would leave and never come back.

After the elevator opened I made the short walk to his office. It was almost midnight and only a few doctors were left, most had went home. House always stayed late, and there he was, sitting at his desk, reading a case file. I walked in and he looked up.

" To what do I owe this pleasure?" He was always using sarcasm to hide his feelings.

" You haven't done clinic duty in over a week." He removed his glasses and I took a seat across from him.

" Sorry if my patient is dying at a bad time. He's bleeding and clotting, pretty soon he will be dead." I laughed.

" You'll make up any excuse to get out of clinic duty won't you?" He laughed.

" Why are you even here so late?" That answer was simple.

" Same reason you are, no one to get home to." He nodded.

" Okay Cuddy, you didn't just come up here to yell at me, what did you really come up here for?" Maybe he's right, maybe I came here to say something else.

" Well, I do have a-" Just then a man walked in, he looked familiar but I couldn't place him. He pointed to House.

" Your House right?" He shook his head.

" Nope, the brunette." He pointed to me, I shook my head at him.

" No, that's Dr. Cuddy." Wow, he knew who I was, House laughed.

" Sorry, it's just the last time someone asked me that they shot me." House and the guy started laughing.

" Well, I'll leave you two alone to talk." I stood up and walked towards the door but the man walked in front of me.

" Excuse me!" That was rude. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a gun.

" No one's leaving, especially you." Oh my god. House stood up from his desk.

" What the hell do you think you're doing? Let her go!" The man shook his head.

" She's the reason why." He lead me to House's desk. House looked confused.

" What do you mean?" This wasn't making sense to me either.

" About a year ago, you treated my wife, she died. You took away what I loved, no I'm going to take away what you love. " He pointed the gun directly at my head, House jumped.

" What make's you think I love her?" Thanks House.

" I have been following you for a while now, it's pretty obvious." He pointed the gun at me, and it fired. I just felt myself falling.

Then there was another shot, at first I thought it was House but the man fell to the floor and his gun went flying to the other side of the room, wow House kept a gun in his desk. Then panic hit me, I couldn't move, everything felt numb, but I could still speak. House was at my side in a matter of seconds, he looked like he could cry any second.

"Cuddy, I'm sorry, you were right, everyone around me does get hurt. Im sorry I love you."

"House, you can't decide who you love, trust me I have tried. "He smiled. Just then Wilson came running into the room.

"Go get help!" He ran out of the room, leaving House and I alone. He ran his fingers through my hair, I sighed. The pain was starting to feel I overwhelming.

"House, it hurts, I'll always love you." He shook his head.

"No Cuddy, don't you dare talk like that. " Without my control my eyes began to fall.

"Cuddy no! Don't you dare close your eyes!" There was nothing I could do, the world was fading away. The last thing I saw was House's lips, they were speaking something, but I couldn't hear anything. Then there was nothing but blackness. The world as I once knew it was gone forever.
