"What do you mean you can't do this?"
House gaped had Wilson not heard the last thing he had said, he froze, this could be Wilson's way out. "It's just a joke Wilson; it was all a big joke"
Wilson blushed, his face dropping heart lying crumpled on the floor "W…W…What?"
House stared at the floor "Get out"
Wilson bit his lip his eyes starting to tear up "B…but" had he got it wrong? He was falling and couldn't breathe, oh god it hurt.
"GET OUT!" House yelled staring down, for the fear that Wilson would see the truth if he saw his eyes.
Wilson turned blindly and stumbled out of the flat leaving House panting heavily and slumping into his chair. Sighing House reached for a bottle and two vicodin, tomorrow is better day he thought as he drifted off into a comforting haze.
House grunted as he heard Cuddy heels clipping on the floor , hurriedly he glanced around before disappearing into a abandoned stairwell, the last place she would look for him.
House had been avoiding Cuddy all day, since she had found out what had happened. Wincing painfully at the memory he started down the stairs when suddenly everything went black.
"House, HOUSE!" Wilson was leaning over him tugging his arm "Wake up you idiot" Wilson was peering at him with a mixture of concern and anger "Try eating next time"
House blinked confused, trying to remember the last time he ate something. Wilson sighed loudly and hoisted House to his feet,
"Come on" Wilson deposited House in his office and walked away, not saying a word. House tried to say something, anything but found he couldn't make a sound.
Staring after Wilsons retreating back a thought struck him, he had just made the most important and possibly worst decision of his life.
Before he even had a chance to wallow in his own self pity Cuddy burst through the glass doors and stared at him, hands on hips.
"House you had better tell me how you are going to fix this. You said this wasn't a joke, I know this wasn't a joke so you'd better start explaining this to me before I scream"
House stared until she was silent then looked up at her the pain in his eyes softening her a little "I couldn't do it"
"Do what?"
"I couldn't let myself get invested; I know he will cheat on me"
"House that ridiculous, why would he do that!?"
"What if this is just a phase!? I mean im not his key demographic am I? I am an old cripple with an attitude problem and addictive personality, I don't have boobs, I'm taller than him and I have grey hair. Im not exactly a model partner for him am I?"
Cuddy stared aghast at Houses outburst "You are and idiot and you have made a big mistake"
House just stared back at her grumpily, "Like I didn't know that"
Frowning Cuddy seemed to regain some of her anger from before "Just fix it, I don't care what you do, just...just fix him" and with a stern nod she was gone leaving House pondering how exactly he was going to get the love of his life to forgive him. Looking down at his desk an idea struck him. Perfect.
