Part 9 choice
Apologies for the late update and once again thank you for the reviews :D
….
Cuddy was still sitting in her car. She had left House's apartment half an hour ago with her eyes misty. I probably should have listened to Wilson's advice Cuddy miserably thought.
She watched House walk away and knew that even if she stayed, nothing good could come of their encounter.
She sat in the front seat of her car and pondered her and House's interactions since House came back from Mayfield. He couldn't be right, she thought.
Through every conversation they had, Cuddy realised that she hadn't give House any reason to believe that she had told him today.
From the moment she and Wilson accused him of taking Vicodin; to the second she pranked him on Thanksgiving. Nothing Cuddy had told or shown House in the past six months proved in any way that she even considered him a friend never mind something more.
At this, she took one last look at the apartment with sadness in her eyes and drove back to the hospital knowing that she may have lost her last chance at anything with House.
….
As soon as House heard the front door close, he let out a sigh of relief before running to the toilet once again to dry heave.
She thinks that she can waltz in here and proclaim that she loves me! He thought angrily.
He sighed angrily to himself and went to grab a shower and left the apartment an hour later.
….
"Did you find him then?" Wilson asked as soon as she walked through the door to her office.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Cuddy asked.
"About fifteen minutes after you left." Wilson finished.
"Why? How did you know what would happen?"
"I told you he wouldn't believe you." Wilson said albeit a bit tauntingly.
"I could have easily gone home." Cuddy questioned his theory.
"You could have but you had already paid the babysitter to stay till 8 and you didn't want to go home as Lucas could still be collecting his stuff." Wilson said knowingly.
"He, he didn't believe me." Cuddy said sorrowfully.
"You haven't given him any indication for him to think otherwise."
"I just didn't realise how much I had hurt him over the past 6 months until this week."
"And that's partially why he doesn't believe you." Wilson said before rising to his feet to go back to his office.
"What do I do? He doesn't believe me or anything I say about how I feel about him."
"Just try and prove he can trust you."
"He doesn't though. He doesn't trust me or you and he is still hiding something Wilson. I got there and he was throwing up and it can't be food poisoning because its gone on for too long." She said sadly.
"We could hack into his medical records" Cuddy said hopefully.
"No." Wilson said sternly.
"He won't trust us ever again if he finds out we sneaked into his medical records." Wilson continued.
"The nurse he has been spending time with told me herself. She knows that House doesn't trust us. But she knows what is wrong with him and she is respecting his wishes, maybe we should do the same." Wilson ended with such a determination that Cuddy hadn't seen for a long time.
"Ok."
