I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU…
He stomach dropped as House stepped into the car and started it, idling there for a moment, but it wasn't something he said that caused it to fall it was the deafening silence that filled the space between them.
They stopped in front of the apartment and she could feel her whole body get tense, as he opened the door for her when she wouldn't get out on her own. She wanted to sit there for eternity, and let the time pass as it had before, but right now it was crawling by, until the moment they began to talk.
It was hard not to be afraid, especially of someone who brought fear to everyone at the Hospital he worked in, whether it be staff or patients they were cowards when it came to facing him.
The loud noise that came from the door as he closed it and they were inside echoed through her mind. "Sit!" He demanded and she did what she was told, knowing there was no way out of this one, after what she had done, or tried to do.
She felt as if he could hear the pounding of her heart outside of her, the way it hit her chest methodically. Pound after pound, it would hit and hit, hard enough that it made her chest feel tighter.
The look on his face said it all; from the one glance she took of him. He was angry with her, furious even.
She looked up at him expectantly, waiting for him to say something, but instead he paced the room in front of her, trying to think of just the right words before he spoke.
He stopped pacing and stood directly in front of her, leaning on his cane so that he had eye contact with her.
"What were you thinking?" He started off yelling but his voice steadied when he saw her back away slightly into the couch and hold her face down to keep her eyes away from him. He didn't want to scare her, just get his point across for once and for all.
He sat on the coffee table keeping his eyes on her the whole time. "Kay, I want you to be able to tell me things…" he said in somewhat of a saddened tone, which showed her how hurt he truly was when she had ignored him and went to Cameron.
She titled her head up and looked into her eyes, his eyes, to answer him when she felt a wave of relief wash over her. "I want too…it's just hard."
