Chapter 2 – When it all comes back -
House was in his office sitting on his little couch with is iPod in one hand and his cane in the other. The accident had made him think about the life he had been living up until that moment and it suddenly hit him.
He realized that he wasn’t living life as he should. He was a jerk, but that he already knew and it wasn’t something likely to change. He had only two friends, Wilson and Cuddy, his ducklings were always around him because he just couldn’t be with a patient alone, only God knows what he could do to them if that were to happen.
House was thinking about life and his iPod gave him a soundtrack to that moment.
“House, are you ok?” Cameron asked.
“Yeah, I’m alright. Do you have a case?” House replied.
“No. Nothing yet.”
“Are you a whore?”
“What? No.”
“Then you can go.”
Cameron left him, and went to her books again. Foreman and Chase were talking and laughing near the coffee machine, and House envied them for being able to have fun. He had to do something about this; he was tired of being a miserable cripple that did nothing but annoy and be a jerk and an ass to everyone around him.
He got up and his iPod began playing a new song. Over My Head (Cable Car) by The Fray. ‘Nice one’ House thought. He headed to Wilson’s office and entered.
Wilson was alone, sitting at his desk making some notes in a patient’s file. He looked up when House walked in.
“Hey. What happened to you? You were very late today, later than normal I mean.” Wilson said as House sat in front of him.
“I got in an accident, but I’m ok if you wanted to know. I didn’t come here to tell you that though.” House quickly replied.
“Oh. Ok. So what do you want to tell me?” Wilson put his hands over the file and moved forward in his chair, giving House his full attention.
“Sometimes I’m an ass, but… well…, do you wanna have dinner tomorrow or hang out or … something?” House finally broke.
“Ok, sure. It’s been a long time since we hung out. Should I bring drinks?”
“Yeah, of course. Do you think that I’m going to buy everything? I’m not your mother. If you want to have a little party with me you have to contribute.” House said as he was leaving Wilson’s office.
‘It wasn’t that bad, I could get used to it. Talk. It seems easy enough.’ House thought. Now he was heading to the lobby, with his head phones in place inside his ear and his iPod on. All At Once by The Fray. ‘Humm, I like this one too.’
He knocked on Cuddy’s office door before entering for the first time ever.
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her
Maybe you need her
“May I?” House asked
“Yeah, sure,” Cuddy answer him. She noticed that he actually knocked on her door and found that strange, ‘Since when does House knock?’
He sat on her couch and relaxed. She was at her desk talking the phone and writing on some paper he could not see from where he was sitting. He stared at her and the only thing that came to mind was ‘Damn she’s beautiful.’
But she won’t keep on waiting for you without a doubt…
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her
Maybe you need her
Maybe you so her in front
Perfection will not come
‘Well if this isn’t perfection I can’t wait to see perfection.’
“House? Are you ok?” Cuddy asked after looking at House and realizing that he was staring at her for a few minutes but seemed to be lost in thought.
Maybe you want her
Maybe you need her
Maybe you had her
Maybe you lost her to another
Oh to another
“I’m ok. Sorry this music is… well it doesn’t matter. I have a little pain in my arm; I think that it is from the accident.” House said.
“Ok, let me take a look at it.” Cuddy said getting up to sit near House.
He toke his jacket off but when it came time to take off the long sleeved shirt the pain became evident on his face. Cuddy saw this and helped him take it off.
“This doesn’t seem good; we should do an X-ray to be sure that nothing is broken.” Cuddy answered him while touching his arm.
“Well, you’re the boss so you’re in charge. Are you sure it’s necessary?”
“It’s better to do it. Let’s go. After that you can go home, it’s almost 5pm.” Cuddy winked at him while she was helping him put his shirt back on so that he wasn’t walking around the hospital half naked on the way to take the X-Ray.
Everything looked good, he hadn’t broke anything, and his muscles seemed ok from the tests Cuddy did on them. He was just sore. ‘It was just a big bruise that hurt like hell’ House thought.
“Well you’re going to give me a ride home, remember?” House said after they exited the x-ray room.
“Yeah I do. Go get the things you need from your office since we’re already here and I’ll wait.” Cuddy replied.
House nodded, he entered his office and picked up his things while his ducklings looked at him and Cuddy, who had stayed by the doorway. She was smiling slightly at him and moved to allow him access when he was finished.
“See ya tomorrow. And find me a case.”
The ducklings were still looking House and Cuddy as they walked side by side down the corridor and missed the opportunity to answer him because they were in shock from seeing them together.
