Last Goodbye
"House? I… I found this in Cuddy's office… It's for you…" Wilson whispered, another tear slipping silently down his cheek. He handed House a small, cream coloured envelope. Ever since Cuddy's tragic death, the hospital hadn't been the same. Everybody's spirits had been dampened; Nobody seemed to smile anymore. Not only had they lost a great doctor - They had also lost their mentor and mother figure.
"Thank you, Wilson," House said, faking a smile. He, along with Wilson, had been suffering the loss the most. There were so many things that he had never had a chance to say to her. After Wilson left to complete his office-clearing task, House tore the letter open. As his eyes followed the writing on the paper, he was shocked to discover what Cuddy really had to say…
Greg,
There's so much to tell you, but I guess I'll start with why I need to write this. The board are frustrated with me, thanks to the insurance deal, and, deep down in my heart, I know I could never keep up with Rachel, my career and you. It's too much to cope with, and the pressure's piling up too high. I've thought about this for a long time now. I can't stay at Princeton any more in the same job. People will lose their respect for me, if they had any in the first place. I feel like I've gotten all out of this job that I possibly can.
So I'm leaving Princeton for a while. I don't know if and when I'll be back. I'm going to stay with my parents for a while. You never know, I could come home in a couple of months. But just in case I don't, there are some things that I need to tell you whilst I had a chance…
House's eyes were wide with surprise. Cuddy was going to leave Princeton. She was going to give up. And it was partly his fault.
Thanks for everything. I don't know if I could have survived this past year without you. It means a lot to me. You don't understand how happy I am every time you walk through my office door. It's the best feeling in the world.
House smiled at this comment. How he wished he had gone to bother Cuddy more. She was worth it, and he asked himself why he didn't manage to see her every day.
I think I've worked out why it is that your opinion means so much more to me than anyone else's. But it's too difficult to explain in a letter. I suppose, one day, I'll get the chance to tell the truth. How I really feel… However, if I never see you again, I guess it's better if I tell you now…
Holding his breath, House silently prayed that Cuddy's feelings had been the same as his own. The feelings that he had been trying to cover ever since they first met…
See, the thing is… I think there's something there… We're more than just colleagues or friends. That's what makes it so hard. What hurts the most was being so close and having so much to say… And watching myself walk away… Gosh, that's so cheesy! I must be in an unoriginal mood!
At least Cuddy seemed like herself…
Anyway, I'm sure I'm confusing you now. I'd better get going, after all, I don't want to miss my train, do I? I guess this is goodbye… There's just one more thing I need to say now.
I love you.

She loved him. She'd finally admitted it. But now, she was gone, and there was no possibility of her coming back. House glanced out of the window and up at the sky, uttering the words that he'd wished to for so long.
"I love you, too…"
