Well here's a new chapter, some things will be clarified, for your delight I hope. Leave a comment : )
Foreman, Taub and Chase look at each other, and Foreman says: I'm not sure that's a good idea. These both are on edge; we would better go to see what happens. And they all leave the room to follow House. Marta, who arrives at this moment, asks them what's going on, and as none of them answer her, she decides to follow the group.
House enters brutally Wilson's office. His friend is working at his desk.
-House, can't you simply knock at the door before you come in! he says irritated and at the same time on the defensive. He feels that House is angry and his aggressive attitude augurs no good to him.
-Wilson, you're a traitor! says House in a voice filled with anger.
-What? replies Wilson pretending not to understand what House means.
-You know what I mean, says House with eyes glistening with anger and fury.
Wilson stands up and nears House. Attack is the best defense isn't it?
-I don't understand what you're talking about! Can you behave like an adult once in your life and explain to me what you mean and what I've done to make you in such a state?
-After the ceremony, you took Cuddy to your apartment; you took advantage of her weakness, of her deep pain because of my stupid behavior, and then you …. you …, House says in an ice-cold voice.
Wilson is petrified, how does he know for him and Cuddy? And suddenly he feels the fist of House striking him violently in the face, Wilson almost falls, but he manages to remain standing. He stares at House, then he hits him, he throws himself on him and they fight as two cocks would fight to prove their ascendancy, but Wilson and House fight for Cuddy. And they don't hold their blows back, destroying Wilson's office, wounding each other mutually.
Some doctors and nurses are coming to see what makes so much noise. They don't understand at once what it happens and it's then that Foreman and Chase clear itself a road and succeed in separating House and Wilson, but not without difficulties and not without taking some blows by doing it. Chase holds Wilson and Foreman holds House. House and Wilson give each other murderous looks, any friendship between them disappeared. The doctors and nurses know how House can be, but Doctor Wilson? What happened between them so that they fight! They look at them horrified and dumbfounded.
-Oh my God! exclaims Marta. What did you do? What happened? See, you're bleeding! You need some care. Please, we need some help here, she says to the nurses around who stare at both men.
House and Wilson are taken to the emergencies where Marta and Taub clean their wounds. And Marta finally asks them:
-Why were you fighting? That's completely insane!
But neither House, nor Wilson answers her.
-Marta, I think you should shut up, says Taub.
Meanwhile, Chase is going to Cuddy's office to explain to her what happened.
-Chase, you again! Cuddy says as Chase enters her office. I'm gonna press charges against you for psychological abuse…But … what happened to you? It looks like you fought! Are you hurt?
-Well, I didn't fight, I've just got some blows by separating House and Wilson who fought as two fanatics, Chase replies.
-Oh my God, says Cuddy by going pale. Because she knows why they fought, they fought because of her!
-Doctor Cuddy? are you ok, Chase asks as he sees Cuddy pale and apparently unable to move. He nears her and shakes her slowly. Are you ok? I think you have to go to the emergencies to talk to them.
-To the emergencies? Oh my God, no, what did I do? she says in a voice torn by the pain and the fear. She stands up and goes straight to the emergencies. Chase feels sorry for her, he likes her.
She isn't aware that some doctors and nurses are following her, eager to learn the reason of this fight and to see how the boss is going to react. When she arrives in the emergencies and sees her two men wounded, she faints and collapses on the ground. Before whoever is able to react, House and Wilson are by her sides and take her head in their hands
-Cuddy! shouts House and at the same time Wilson shouts : Lisa ! And the silence. Nobody speaks.
They looked at each other threateningly before they begin to rail violently under the dumbfounded glance of the people around.
-That's your fault! Wilson shouts to House.
-No, that's yours! replies House in the same ton.
-You hurt her deeply with your stupid behavior, with your stupid wedding! You don't deserve her!
-But you betrayed me, you took advantage of her weakness and of her pain to put her in your bed!
The people around can't believe what they hear! Marta expresses aloud what people think:
-What? Wilson and Cuddy are together! Doctor Wilson! He's kidding! You didn't do that!
-Yeah, he did, House says disgusted. They sleep together since Friday night.
-Yes, we are together! says Wilson annoyed and angry. She was so down, so bad, so heartbroken, I couldn't let her alone! You don't imagine how deep you hurt her! She needed someone by her sides, and I was there. But I would never have taken advantage of her pain, she was deeply hurt, but she knew what she was doing. I haven't rapped her!
-No, of course not! You just got her drunk then you played her the friendly comforter, House says ironic.
-Is that really what you think of me? I thought we were friend. I was always there for you, I always defended you! What thankless you are! I LOVE LISA, Wilson articulates firmly and aloud so that everybody hears it, and I don't want you to hurt her anymore. I'll take care of her, you got your chance with her and you screwed it up like always. This beautiful woman deserves better than you.
-And you are the one she deserves, of course!
-Just remember that you married Domenica last Friday, you didn't even try to make up with Lisa, you just cheated her! So go out of her life now!
-You know that the wedding was just business, that I married Domenica so that she obtains her green card. You know that I don't love her, and you know that I LOVE CUDDY! And you betrayed me, House yells. And to crown it all you intend to marry her, he adds in a low and cold voice.
Wilson seems petrified, how can he know this, he talked to nobody about his wedding plan. Wilson is about to reply when Cuddy comes around.
-Please, she says and sits down with House's and Wilson's help. Please, stop arguing! I'm sick of your fight for me, I'm not an object! I'm a woman, maybe a stupid one, but still. And more important, I'm your boss!
-Lisa / Cuddy, you need to calm down, Wilson and House say with some fear in the voice. You need to rest.
-I know what I have to do, and to display our private life in public is not the best idea which you had! she replies angry and she wants to stand up but everything begins again turning around her and she faints again.
-Lisa / Cuddy!
The nurses, the doctors, House's team, even the patients, they are all root to the spot in front of this hallucinating show. The curiosity to see what's going to happen, who's finally going to choose doctor Cuddy prevents them from moving, nothing better that the famous love triangle to captivate the crowds. And some of them even begin to bet!
Finally Wilson takes her in his arms and carries her to a bed. House can't move, he just sees his friend carrying his love. He knows Wilson is right, he understands Cuddy's feeling about all this mess up. He screwed up all as usual. Cuddy opens slowly her eyes, Wilson is upon her and caresses her cheek, talking softly to her.
-It'll be ok now, my sweetheart, he says. I'm gonna take care of you, don't worry. And he kisses her softly, tenderly.
House looks at them, he won't give up so easily. He loves Cuddy and he can't bear that someone else touches her, makes love with her, even more if this someone is his best friend. House goes straight to Cuddy and Wilson. The attention of Wilson is completely focused on Cuddy so that he doesn't see House arriving. House comes Wilson to grips and throws him on the ground, and then he hits him violently on the face under Cuddy's horrified eyes and in front of the dumbfounded staff of the hospital.
-House, what the hell are you doing? Cuddy yells.
-YOU ARE MINE! NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO TOUCH YOU! yells House with crazy eyes.
Cuddy stares at him, she's very scared. Wilson fainted under the violence of the shock and is laying spread on the ground. House stands up and goes straight to Cuddy who's sitting on the hospital bed. She's petrified, she can't move. When he's close to her, he puts softly his hand on her face, caresses her cheek, then he puts his other hand on her neck, looks at her straight in the eyes and says with a voice filled with despair:
-Cuddy, I love you, I will always love you, and he kisses her.
Cuddy remains still, she's too scared by House, Wilson can't help her, he's lying on the ground, he needs help, but she can't move! House holds her now in his arms, she can't breathe. And suddenly, someone pulls House away from her, he tries to resist but he can't… NOOOOOO, CUDDY! he yells!
-Noooo!
-House! House! Wake up! Says a woman's voice, but he can't recognize it.
House looks around him frightened; he doesn't know where he is.
-House! Are you ok? Repeats the woman next to him. House recovers slowly his sense; he's sitting in a bed, his bed, in his room. He turns to see who is speaking to him, first he doesn't recognize her, then he remembers what happened the day before: he married Domenica, that's why she's sitting next to him.
-What… What are you doing here? I told you I never sleep with married woman! House replies angry.
-I… I heard you crying like hell, I thought you might need help, I came…
-I'm fine, it was just a nightmare, go out of my room. I don't want you here.
Once Domenica left him alone, House tries to analyze the situation. What if this wasn't a nightmare but the truth? What if Wilson really took Cuddy to his apartment to seduce her? What if all this was a premonition?
