Argument

AN: Sorry i didn't update yesterday. I had a SERIOUS case of the Monday blues, but i'm better now :) Also because of yesterday i'm going to be posting up a second chapter later this evening.

Quote of the day: "Why be perfect when the flaws define you?" - Me.

"I take it from his walking out that you did suffer those symptoms." Erica said looking at the spot where Wilson had walked out.

"I think he walked out because you're being a bitch to him and me." House replied twirling his cane on the spot.

"I'm a bitch because I learnt from the master."

"Who's that?"

"Alice."

"Should have guessed." House shrugged.

"Stop changing the subject!"

"I'm not changing the subject."

"Yes you are!"

"Who says I am?"

"I can't talk to you when you're in a mood like this."

"Fine then, leave."

"I will."

Erica went to walk out the door and doubled back on herself.

"No, I am not going to leave because that's what you want me to do."

"Whatever you say Bloss."

"I know you too well Gregory."

"What is it with you calling me Gregory?"

"Stop it!" Erica said stamping her foot on the floor. "I'm getting nowhere with you. Are you or are you not an addict?"

"Not. I take these because my leg hurts, not because I want them. I take them because I need them. There's a difference."

"So why do you take so many?"

"What part of I'm in pain don't you understand?"

"You sure it isn't psychological?"

"I can feel it. Its phy-si-cal" House responded talking to Erica as if she was three.

"Don't patronise me!"

"Don't talk to me like you're the doctor here; because we all know Erica that you could never be bothered to attend medical school! All you had to do was batter your eyelashes and everything was handed to you on a plate!"

"How do you think it felt being the stupid child?" Erica shouted back. "I remember how proud Mom and Dad used to be when talking about you and Alice. I used to remember Mom giving me a pitying look when the teacher said how I needed help in various classes. Yeah sure, I may have had the beauty, but it doesn't go very far without the brains."

"Erica…"

"No! Alice had all the book knowledge and you Greg…you have natural intelligence. Alice knows she could never compete with you. That's why she's secretly glad you stuffed up your life, so she could always look the smartest one."

"How long have you been bottling this up?" House asked out of the blue.

"A while."

"You really need to vent more often."

"Greg stop turning this into a game."

"I'm not turning it into a game. I'm just saying it looks like you need anger management."

"These are my feelings over the past twenty years, and all you can do is make fun of me?" Erica asked feeling hurt. "I thought you understood me. I thought you understood me better than anyone else in the world. I'm sorry I was mistaken."

With that statement Erica picked up her bags and headed towards the front door of the apartment.

"Where are you going to go?"

"Away from you!" Erica called back.

"What about Wilson?"

"You can tell him what happened."

"Erica…"
