I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU…
As she skipped down the hall and made her way back to House's office she noticed the stares that the nurses and staff were giving her, like she shouldn't be happy, that maybe being with House should make her miserable, and maybe it did make her feel a little uneasy knowing hardly anything about this man, but she knew he was her father and that's what made it okay.
'He didn't seem like that bad of a guy' she thought to herself as she opened the door to the conference room, realizing no one was in there or in House's office. She sat down in a chair at the table after pouring herself a cup of coffee and loading it with sugar, as she didn't like the bitter taste.
She sipped at it, while making a face of disgust, but kept going as she had no money and the coffee was free. She laid her head down on top of her arms that were folded on the table and closed her eyes.
She fell into a deep sleep and was very comfortable, when someone jostled her and she looked up blurry eyed, "Gary?"
She heard laughing, and knew instantly that it wasn't Gary's. 'Crap!' she thought as she rubbed her eyes and looked up at the blonde haired Aussie, whose seat she had occupied.
"Oh…sorry." She whispered softly as her face turned a light shade of red and she stood, grabbing her coffee and making her way out the door, when House stopped in front of her blocking her way from the door.
She bumped into him and looked up for her eyes to reach his. "Excuse me." She said dryly and went to move around him. He moved in her way and she stepped back a couple of steps and put her hands on her hips, looking very annoyed. House's expression however never changed once.
"Your in my way!" She said firmly and kept her eyes locked with House's. He turned his head away from her and looked all around the room, to the ducklings and then back at her. "Where are you going to go this time?" He looked down at her and his face stayed emotionless.
"Well first I went to the bathroom, then I came back and you weren't here so I sat in that chair," She pointed over at the chair that Chase was sitting at.
"Until the English guy woke me up, and now I'm, here, and going anywhere I can sleep." She rolled her eyes, when Chase yelled back at her. "I'm not English!"
A smirk appeared on House's lips as he figured out that everyone was wrong about her. She was exactly like him, she was stubborn, and she was very sarcastic, and most of all she was damaged.
She smiled back at the expression she had made come to his face and walked past him as he stepped to the side.
"Wait whose Gary?" Chase yelled after her. She turned on her heel and looked back at all the expecting eyes that fell upon her, including House's. A smirk now fell upon her lips and she turned back around and started to walk towards the cafeteria.
