House didn't sleep well that night. He kept walking up because Cuddy always came to his mind. She always had to way to overpower not only his mind but his heart as well. House was confused. He never thought that he would be able to get his chance with Cuddy. They had 20 years, why would it all work out now? House never believed in coincidences. Just when he found Lydia, she comes back in his life. He's scared because he has no idea what to do, he doesn't know what's the right thing. So the first thing in the morning, he got up and got dressed for work. He checked in at 8 sharp and went directly up to Wilson's office for advice. He knocked on the door and walked in.
"House?! Wow, I've never seen you here so early, what's up?" Wilson greeted him, knowing there was a reason to his visit.
"Hey Wilson… I know how to put this… but I'm quitting." He blurted out.
Wilson immediately stopped what he was doing and got up from his chair. He rubbed his forehead in confusion.
"Why?" He asked.
House did not answer he just started at Wilson.
"Does this have anything to do with Cuddy or Lydia or both?" He asked. Wilson nodded his head, answering his own question realizing that was the only possible reason.
"Maybe" House answered, sitting down on the couch puzzled.
"What happened?" Wilson asked.
"I went over to her House last night…" He started.
"We talked for once, we finally got somewhere, I almost told her how I felt but isn't the best thing that I can do is let her be happy? I told her I was quitting and she… I… I hurt her again Wilson… Why do I always hurt her? I always find a way! It doesn't matter what it is about, I always make her cry… And I don't think I can do this anymore Wilson…" House admitted, letting everything flow out of his heart.
Wilson just looked at him. He didn't know what to say, House never admitted his feelings like that. They were deep and they obviously are hurting him. Wilson was shocked; he'd never seen House confused or no knowing what to do. Wilson never saw House in a moment of doubt and guilt.
"I don't think you should leave House." Wilson suggested, knowing nevertheless that House would do the exact opposite.
"You're wrong. That's the only way she can be happy…" House said.
"You're the one who's wrong. The best thing for her is to not give up on her and that's what you are doing. You are making her even more miserable, not happier. Leave Lydia and try and make something with Cuddy…" Wilson told him.
"No. I can't leave Lydia… She never let me down and I need her. I like being with her because I know I can't hurt her. She's like bulletproof…"
"No one's bulletproof House…" Wilson said before House walked out of the room.
He rode the elevator and made his way to his office. He knew what he had to do. He sat down at his desk and started writing. He wrote his resignation letter and another letter. A personal letter, dedicated to Cuddy. He would give it to her the day he would leave which would be a week from today. But for now, he set the paper that had his heart laid out in the top drawer. He laid back thinking about his decisions. He turned around and dug into his pocket and took out a key, which he placed in the lock on the bottom drawer. He took out an envelope. He opened it just like he always would in moments of doubt. He kept a double of each picture for this specific day. He split them half and half. He did as so, so he could have a copy and so could Lisa. He put his back in the drawer and the others in the envelope. He got up with the envelope and the resignation letter in his hand and left. He went to Cuddy's office. He made sure that she wasn't there before he walked in and placed those two things on her desk. He left her office, already missing her…
TBC…
