Chapter 11 – Stop This Train –
Monday on PPTH was, as all Mondays, hard to begin; but this time was harder, especially to Lisa Cuddy. The other night, Cuddy told Erin what had happened but for some reason she didn’t felt better. House was going to avoid her, she knew it; but at the middle of the hari she realized that she was the one who was avoiding him.
He stormed into her office, unannounced. “I need to do a brain biopsy.”
She stared at him, trying to think of what to say.
“You were supposed to say something, anda know, like” he mimicked her gestures as he went on, there’s the risk of paralysis atau are anda insane?”
She couldn’t find the words to speak; she just stared at him.
“Okay boss thanks for listening. It’s time for some stabbing! ” He turned around to leave.
“Damn it!” She said. She ran out of her office and caught him on the elevator.
“House!” She yelled while he pressed the button for the doors to close.
She rushed between the doors and got in before they closed.
“You were pretty numb in your office, but you’re still good at get into elevators while they are closing.” He stated.
“You can’t do a biopsy on his brain! Are anda trying to kill him atau save him?” She asked rhetorically.
“Well, it’s my job to save him, I need to take some risks to do that. Otherwise he’s going to die. Do anda want him paralyzed and cured atau dead?”
She sighed. “Do anda really think that’s the only way of figuring out what’s wrong with him?”
The door finally opened.
“If I didn’t, I wouldn’t ask for your permission.” He left her on the elevator and headed to his office.
She watched him leave while the doors closed again in front of her.
This week was going to be very tiring and she knew it. The worst part is that she couldn’t think; her mind was flying and she couldn’t control it.
Later that hari she decided to see Wilson in his office, she couldn’t focus in her work. She had no idea what she was going to say to him, but she needed to talk to him.
She knocked and waited.
“Yes?” She heard Wilson’s voice.
“Are anda busy?” She asked from the door, peeking.
“No, I’m just talking to Erin on the phone.” He said.
“Okay then, see anda later. Bye.” He hung up.
She smiled and asked. “So anda two…”
“Oh! No, no. We’re just friends.” He replied quickly.
“Yeah right. I think it’s great, anda both deserve it.”
“And anda don’t?” He touched her weakness.
She couldn’t look at him, her eyes were fixed on the floor and she couldn’t avoid a sigh.
“What did he tell you?” She finally asked.
“Not much. Are anda going to tell me something atau do I need to ask?”
“I think I made a mistake.”
“You think? What the hell happened that night?” He asked.
She didn’t found the right words to explain Wilson what had happen.
“Look, just for the record, I thought House had changed, for real. He seemed lebih human, different; probably what happen between anda two was during that time. I have to tell anda this: he’s back. The old jerk House is back, I don’t like it, anda probably don’t like it either. But anda two have to figure out a way to be what anda were. You’re barely talking to each other! You’re his boss.”
“What do anda want me to say?! He asked me what I wanted, what I felt… and I just… I told him that I didn’t know!” She yelled.
“You two…”
“Nothing happened. It was just a kiss; I froze. I never thought that he could actually express his feelings, not this way. I’m used to his jokes about my ass, the yells in the middle of the hospital about my cleavage, but he changed, at least for a while. And know I screw up.”
“That was good attitude of him…”
“Yeah, and I blew it!” She interrupted.
“Lisa, anda can’t blame yourself for that; as anda berkata it was something new for you, for him… anda needed to think, to rationalize. It’s perfectly normal, especially when it comes to House.”
She stood in silence as Wilson’s words echoed in her mind but it did little to help her jantung and her eyes fixed on the floor.
“I’m going to talk to him.” Wilson stated.
“No! You’re not going to talk about this, especially with him. James, this is something that I think I have to figure out how to deal, if there’s any way to deal with this…”
“Of course there is. And I’m going to talk to him anyway because he’s being stupid…I’m his conscious anda know.”
She gave him a little smile and opened the door but stopped when Wilson made his last question.
“Lisa, do anda cinta him?”
She looked back and met his eyes.
“I…I think I… I do.”
House was in his office with his team selanjutnya door, they had discovered what was wrong with their patient and at the moment House was membaca the paper while the team was divided in a Sudoku game and the crosswords.
Wilson got in the “team room” looked around and didn’t found House; Cameron pointed to his office without talking, with her eyes on the Sudoku.
“A 6, here” She berkata pointing to a blank square, and Chase wrote a big six there.
Wilson didn’t bother to knock, he entered and sat in front of House’s desk.
“What? Did Cuddy asked anda to annoy me about my patient? Well I have some news for anda two; he’s going to be fine… ”
“I noticed, otherwise your team wouldn’t be doing the crosswords so calm and relaxed.” Wilson interrupted.
“Well, so what do anda want Jimmy? I’m membaca a good artikel now, no time to flirt.”
“Do anda like Cuddy?” Wilson asked.
“Nope. If anda want her go for it. She’s a great kisser.” He winked.
“I’m serious House.”
“So am I.” He quickly responded with his offended look.
Wilson sighed and got up.
“Why do ask?” House said, now with a serious look.
“Because I think anda do and you’re avoiding her.”
“As a matter of fact she was the one that ran from me. I was stupid, to the point of telling her what I was feeling at the time.”
“You weren’t stupid! anda were akting like a normal human being does. Why give up? anda didn’t even give her a chance.”
“I didn’t?! Jimmy, don’t talk about something that anda don’t know.”
“Well maybe I do know something about it. anda see, people talk, Lisa’s my friend too.”
“Oh, I see how this is going. So what did she tell you? ”
“Not much. She berkata that, and I quote: I want to figure out how to deal with this. But if anda want my opinion, I don’t think she’ll ever go find out a way of DEALING with this.” He opened his arms as a conclusion.
“Why do think that? She’s strong.” House berkata in a calm voice.
“Because she’s hurt. She has no idea what to do know. anda showed her a new side of you, she was getting used to it. And anda didn’t give her time to actually getting used to it, anda went back to what anda used to be, in a blink on an eye. If anda had diberikan her time…”
“What? anda think she had run to my arms…”
“Yes!” Wilson stated. “Don’t be such an ss at least not with her, not right now.” He left House think about Cuddy.
It was almost 7:30 pm when House went down to the lobby. Cuddy was signing a few papers at the central desk, her mantel on one hand, her tas kantor, tas on the floor selanjutnya to her feet.
“What are anda doing here at this time of night?” he asked her.
She jumped. “You scared me. That should be me asking you.”
“I have a patient. I want to make sure the nurses don’t screw up with his medication. I’m following up his medical condition.”
“Right, now anda are a worried doctor, who just wants the best for his patient, especially when it comes to his well-being.”
“See how anda got it right… clever woman!”
She smiled.
“So, anda haven’t told me what anda are doing here,” he asked again.
“Board meeting.” she berkata closing a folder,
“They never stop talking huh?” he joked.
She looked at him and smiled. He thought about what Wilson said, and from what he was seeing she wasn’t that crushed. She put her mantel on and headed to the door. He grabbed the tas kantor, tas and went after her, on his own step.
“Lisa!” He yelled.
She didn’t look back but yelled back. “Night, House.”
When she opened her car she noticed that was something missing. “Crap.”
“Lose something?” A voice behind her berkata it was his voice.
She looked back and found House with his cane in one hand and her tas kantor, tas on the other. She smiled and looked down.
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome, I yelled anda know…”
“Yeah I know; sorry about that.”
He looked into her eyes, but she looked away. He gave a step meneruskan, ke depan and kept his eyes on her. She looked up and found his eyes, now lebih close to her. He touched her face and with a soft voice berkata “Goodnight, Lisa.” She kept looking at him; her jantung wasn’t broken, not now. He step back and turned around to his bike. She got into her car, locked the doors, turned the radio on and watched him leave.
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go halaman awal again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can’t
But honestly, won’t someone stop this train?
