Chapter 10: What Light From Yonder Window Refuses to come on…

Wilson left House's apartment with his stuff neatly packed away in his car. HE needed a place to stay and figured a hotel is as good as anything. As he checked in he realized how real all this was. There was a real chance that Greg would choose Stacy over him.

He checked in and hauled his stuff to his hopefully temporary room.

All night his mind flittered about the tow directions his life could take. Not a moment in the passing time did he even think about sleeping.

The next morning Wilson called Cuddy up.

"Hello?"

"Cuddy, it's Wilson. I can't come into work today. I'll call all my patients and reschedule but I don't think I will be in."

"Wilson, is something wrong?"

"It's just a personal emergency. I have to go. Bye. Call me if you need me." Wilson hung up the phone with a sigh.

O:-)

House walked into Cuddy's office. "Will you do me a favor?"

Cuddy looked up at him nervously. Favors for House were typically a scary thing. "What?"

"Can I use your phone and call Wilson?"

"What?"

"I called on my phone and he won't answer. I have to talk to him."

"I can't. If you call him and he answers and hangs up what am I going to do when I need him and he refuses to answer. It'll be the boy who cries wolf all over again. I'm sorry Greg."

"Yeah thank…" He turned and reached the doorknob, "Do you know where he is staying?"

"No," Cuddy felt bad for both of them.

O:-)

By the middle of the day House's leg hurt so bad, he thought he'd pass out. Cuddy showed up at his door. She knocked on it softly. "House, you didn't hear this from me but Wilson is in his office." With that, she left again.

House stood up quickly. He knew that if he went to the front door he stood no chance against the locked wooden front door, but maybe out on the balcony he'd might at least be able to see him. But his leg hurt so bad he couldn't get it over the wall that divided the two landings. So he stood out in the rain with a few pebbles that were sitting on the ledge and chucking them at Wilson's glass door.

Wilson was in his office and could hear the stones pelt against his door. He figured it was House and was glad his blinds were shut so House couldn't see him inside. As he watched House through a small gap, he noticed House was getting more and more desperate it pained him.

Again, House tried to get over the wall taking two vicodin and then with all he had, he tried it.

Wilson knew he must be in a whole world of pain if he couldn't get over. Though he wasn't sure he wanted to go out there.

"Jimmy, I know you're in there." House cried out. Still there was no sign of him from the office.

"Can you come out here? Please?"

Wilson still didn't come out. House figured Jimmy probably left out the other door when he saw him come out on the balcony. Giving up House gravely sulked inside.

Wilson watched as House gave up. He watched as his former lover gave up and went back into his office defeated. Wilson watched the display and it pained him.

House's ducklings were in his office when he went in "What?"

"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's foolish to play in the rain?" Foreman questioned his extremely wet boss.

House glared at his team.

"So why were you out there anyway?" Cameron asked. Trying to get Jimmy's attention.

"Can we help?" Chase offered.

After a few moments of thought House realized he couldn't do this with out someone else's help.

"Alright, here's the game plan…"
