I wrote half of this today during economics, and decided I needed to finish because I felt I owed you guys a chapter =) I had my friend Reg beta it and she made it make more sense and helped it flow so I thank her!!! I hope you like the chapter. Anyway I’ll stop rambling here is chapter 5

House took Cuddy back to his apartment so he could protect her and so that she would feel safe. When they arrived at House’s apartment House was tired and his leg hurt so he walked around the couch to sit down. Cuddy stood still frozen in House’s doorway, not quite believing she was actually in House’s apartment, but she realized for all the wrong reasons she wanted to be here because House wanted her here not because of what had happened. She was there because someone tried to rape her. He was just around to be a good friend to keep her safe, her mind kept trying tell to her heart. As she was thinking about why she was there in House’s apartment it brought back memories of what happened not even two hours ago. 
 
House noticed Cuddy hadn’t moved since he sat down. He called her name but got no response, he got up from the couch and walked up to her. 
 


“Cuddy” he said, raising his hand to caress her cheek. 
 
Cuddy was brought out of her thoughts still she didn’t comprehend that, the events had already been dealt with by the police. The thoughts of that man fresh in her mind and quickly made her slap his hand away. She started to struggle to get away from House. 
 
When House felt her slap he knew something was wrong. He told himself that she was thinking about what happened in her bedroom two hours ago. He quickly wrapped his arms around her so she didn’t try leaving the apartment. Cuddy started freaking out when she felt his arms wrap around her and started hitting him . She hit him in the chest over and over. She was so desperate to get away she bit him in the shoulder. 



“AH!” House cried in pain as her teeth dug deep into his shoulder. He didn't know how to get her to release, but he knew this wasn’t really the Lisa Cuddy he knew. After she felt she had bit him long and hard enough Cuddy let go and yelled

“Let go of me you bastard.” It broke House’s heart to see the woman he loved breaking down in front of him. Even though he had pain in his shoulder, he brought up his hand to caress her face trying to get her to come back.

“Lisa,” his voice broke a little “Lisa its Greg. You’re safe, you’re in my apartment.” 
 
For some reason when she heard his name she stopped struggling and let herself become enveloped in his embrace as she quietly cried.

“I’m so sorry” she cried. “I….I didn’t realize… You just came out of nowhere and I panicked. I-I don’t want to be alone. Please stay with me House.” 
 
It hurt him hearing her sound like a five year old girl who had just gotten a tongue lashing from her father.

“I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere if I wanted to Cuddy.” He responded feeling proud of being her sustain . House hated showing his caring side especially her, but Cuddy needed someone and he was going to be there for her. 
 
Cuddy moved her head from his chest up to his shoulder and kissed where she had bitten. “I’m sorry House, I didn’t mean to-”




“Shh. It’s okay Cuddy don’t worry about it I’m glad I was there for you.” 
 
“Do you think I could take a shower? I feel dirty and really want to clean my body.” Cuddy asked still feeling dirty from where Danny’s hands had touched her. 
 
He looked down thoughtfully “Yes the towels are in the bathroom under the sink. Are you going to be okay alone?” House asked with genuine concern. 
 
Cuddy responded by getting out of his embrace and saying “Yes, I’ll be fine.” 
 
House rolled his eyes when she turned her back to walk toward the bathroom. There is no way she can bounce back from almost getting raped just like that. Something is going on in that pretty little head of hers.

House heard the water running in the bathroom and went ahead and walked into the kitchen to make Cuddy something to eat knowing she needed something in her stomach. Looking through his whole kitchen all he had was edible and cooking wasn’t a really difficult science project; peanut butter, jelly, water from the tap, and beer. Her choices will have ti be pretty limited. He smirked knowing there was no way in hell Cuddy would eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich he decided to order take-out. Knowing Cuddy loved egg drop soup he ordered her a bowl of that as well as two egg rolls just in case. For himself he ordered kung pow beef, fried rice, and two egg rolls. 
 
After ordering he grabbed a beer from the fridge and walked out to his living room to watch some TV while waiting for Cuddy. House had watched already an episode of General Hospital as well as Sponge Bob and Cuddy was still in the shower. He had begun to worry so he got up and walked to the bathroom door. He knocked. 

“Cuddy are you doing ok or do you need some help in there?” No response came from inside. 

House’s heart beat faster. No. he thought She wouldn’t have, she couldn’t have. She is Lisa Cuddy Dean of Medicine she can overcome anything including this damn it!

As he was standing outside his mind was only giving him the worst possible case scenarios. 

He knocked again to see if he could get an audible response of movement , anything. Again there was no response. House was near panic he tried the knob and she hadn’t locked it.

“Cuddy” he said while opening the door slowly, when he opened the door all the way. The sight before him took his breath away.

So I end it there so you have to wonder what happens and maybe you’ll come back to find out  I know that sounds evil. I guess I am evil smile Anyway I hope you liked the chapter Read and Review. Tell me if you like it.
