A couple minutes after House left Wilson's office, Cuddy arrived seeking for advice as well.

"Hello Wilson." She said walking in.

"Hi Cuddy. You just missed House." Wilson told her.

"…But that's probably not why you are here…" He continued.

"Indeed that is not why I am here." She said, but stopped talking not telling him anything more.

"So, why are you here?" He asked.

"I need you to replace me for a while…" She said, hesitating.

"What?! Why?" He asked. This was the second surprise Wilson had receive today. He did not like it at all. He hated surprising, especially these ones. Both of his friends were leaving.

"I suppose it's because of House." He said.

"Yes, it is… he made his final choice." Cuddy said sadly. She forced herself not to cry. She wasn't supposed to be this vulnerable. She was taught to not depend on men, but that's exactly what she was doing. It seemed like she didn't have the strength anymore. Lisa Cuddy, even at a very young age, she was mature. She cared and worked hard on her grades. She didn't break down because she was being mocked insulted. She never cried over a break up. She didn't cry when she left her parents when she went to college. But she did cry for one guy. She cried for Greg House. She didn't know why not did she understand it. But she had to live with it and so she decided to take some time away from him.

"And what would that be?" Wilson asked making sure they were talking about the same thing.

"He picked Lydia." She said, controlling herself.

"And not you…" He said.

She nodded, as if she was ashamed.

"And not this hospital." He added.

She looked up surprised. She knew that House was going to quit but this soon?

"You know?" She asked, surprised.

"Yes. And probably other people, I got a call from the main desks saying he dropped something in an envelope in your office. I have a feeling it's a resignation letter…" Wilson said, opening her wounds once again. Cuddy got up and ran to her office, letting her tears drop to the floor, as if they were drops of sweat after running a marathon. She arrived at her office and smelled his sweet cologne fading in the darkness. She walked towards her desk and picked up the piece of paper. It was in fact the resignation. She set it back down as if she was just defeated. She noticed something else on the desk however. It was another envelope. It was thicker than the previous one. She picked it up and opened it. It was pictures. Wondering what they were, she took them out and looked at the first one. She gasped. She never expected House still having pictures of them back in Michigan, let alone this many. She sat down on the couch and looked through them. Each picture she looked at, it was as if a knife was plunged in her heart. Cuddy didn't know whether to think it was sweet of House or very mean. She didn't know if House did this to make things better or worse. She didn't know if it was to make her sadder. The only thing she did know was that House kept these pictures all these years.

After looking at them what seemed to be 100 times, she finally put them back in the envelope. And while she did, she saw a letter at the bottom. She took it out. She hesitated, afraid of what it might hold. She took a chance and opened it.

Lisa, you might not believe what I have to say and that's okay.

But what I am about to say really is the truth. I don't want to leave

But I know I have to. My heart needs to let go of you. And I have

A feeling it never will and that's killing me. I always hurt you.

I always make you cry. I make you miserable. I don't want to anymore.

That's why I'm leaving. It's not all because of Lydia… It's you and me.

I hope you saw the pictures. Please, even if you are really mad at me,

Don't burn or throw out the pictures. My heart will burn down and turn to

Ashes if you do. Think of the pictures as good memories not bad. Do that last thing for me.

I hope someday you will forgive me. I don't know how much longer I can be like this.

I'm trapped in emotions. That's where I am. I am in a prison. There's no way out Lise.

I wish there was. Lydia is my fresh start that's why I'm leaving with her. But never forget

You are always my first. You were the first to steal my heart.

You and I both know I hurt you. But you hurt me as well… and I will never recover.

Scars heal but they never go away. I will never forget the ones I marked on you…

I am sorry for everything.

These are my last words so keep them engraved in your heart forever to always be remembered:

I love you.

~Greg House

Cuddy lay back on her couch and started to cry because never has House been so truthful and right.

He drove home earlier than he had planned so he stopped by a super market to buy flowers. He got Lydia a couple of roses and went home. As he parked in the driveway, House noticed there was another car that he had never seen before. He became curious to whom it belonged to. Lydia never told him that they were supposed to have any company. Nonetheless, House walked to the door and opened it. He set his things down on the floor, keeping the flowers in his hands. There wasn't much noise in the house, which surprised him. He walked towards the bedroom thinking that she might've taken a nap. He opened the door. The scene before him made him sick.

Lydia was naked. She was on top of some other guy kissing him everywhere. She was making love to someone else…

TBC…

Cliffhanger? I can say that! Who is surprised? I would love to know! :) Thanks for reading and please review!
