Chapter 3- Administrative Questions
(Cuddy’s POV)
Disclaimer: Sorry for not mentioning before but I don’t own House M.D or any of its characters… sadly
Everything was surprisingly quiet today. House hadn’t come in to drop by, which made me feel somewhat empty… what the hell am I saying?! Why would I want this dia to be ruined por his constant bickering?! ‘Because the day’s never ruined when House is around’ said a voice inside my head. I tried to ignore it and got back to working when I heard the door open. ‘House?’ I happily thought as much as I wanted to deny it, only to be disappointed por seeing Thirteen at the doorway.
“How may I help you Dr. Hadley?” I asked professionally.
“One of our patients has some perguntas that she thinks only the Dean of Medicine can answer.” She said. Hm, a patient with administrative questions? Not something you see everyday, but it was my duty to answer them.
“Alright, what room?” I asked.
“204. The patient is Alexis Harrison.” She informed me.
“Alright, thank you Dr. Hadley.” I said as I got up and opened the door to leave.
“You’re welcome.” She said as she left to go do her Clinic Duty. I took the elevator to the segundo floor and found room 204. When I entered, I wad surprised to find the young teenager that used to be House’s patient. I had expected someone… older. I closed the door behind me and walked towards her.
“Hello Alexis. Dr. Hadley told me you had a few perguntas for me.” I greeted as we both smiled.
“Yes, well, I was just wondering how does one donate to the hospital? I was thinking about talking to my parents about it.” She told me. I saw this as a perfect opportunity. The hospital needed donations. The conversation went on for about half an hora when it suddenly took an interesting turn.
“So what does one do to donate to the Department of Diagnostic Medicine? That’s Dr. House’s department, right?” the pergunta surprised me. No one ever wanted to donate anything to House’s department, especially after meeting him. I realized I hadn’t spoken yet and decided to answer her question.
“You take the same steps as all the other departments except you have to get a different code for when filling out the papers.” I replied hoping that would answer her question.
“He doesn’t seem very nice, but I know he cares deep down. He does a great job no matter what his motives are and he cares about the people close to him. Are you his friends Dr. Cuddy?” this pergunta definitely caught me por surprise; the whole thing did. Someone actually thought House had a caring side. I was happy that someone noticed this.
“Yes… I am.” I smiled, happy to have said that although some part of me earned for it to be something mais than that.
“He cares about you a lot Dr. Cuddy. I can tell por the way he looks at you. He doesn’t want to show it but the gleam in his eye says it all… do you like him Dr. Cuddy?” I was speechless. House… cared about… me? All I could think of were his beautiful blue eyes shining as they looked at me. A patient, a 14 year-old patient had just asked me if I liked him. I was frozen. I had to say no, I wouldn’t admit it. It wasn’t right. I couldn’t. Say no Cuddy, SAY NO!
“No… but he’s still my friend.” I said as I quickly got up and exited the room so I could no longer be asked any questions. I walked faster than usual to my office and took a big gulp of coffee as I sat down in my chair trying to grasp everything that had just happened. The image of House’s eyes staring at me popped into my head and m coração melted. I had never felt this way. How could I not have noticed?! He had the most beautiful eyes. Staring into them was like staring into his soul, where deep down I could see the care Alexis had told me about. I tried to focus on something else to get my mind off of House but ended up back where I was before… sonhar acordado about him. Now, everything reminded me of him. I took m car keys into my hand and rushed out of the hospital telling the nurse I was going início early. Once I got início I took a chuveiro and lay down on my cama as I drifted off to sleep. That night I dreamed of Gregory house.

Here I am,
So close, but so far from you.
In the cold I am standing,
Outside your stone brick mural
I cannot break through.
So I just stand there foolishly,
Peering through your window.
Loosing myself in your deep blue eyes,
My eyes fixed on your broken smile,
You are simply all I desire.
The pain inside floods me,
I am drowning in my misery.
But when I see your face, it all seems to fade,
And when I taste your red lips,
My coração skips a beat
As the rest of me goes numb.
The amor I feel for you is real
But so are fears of hurting you.
So all emotions are pushed aside,
Right seguinte to all the tears I’ve cried.
In this life of wrong I live,
You remain the one thing I got right,
The only one I let inside.
Now heartache and hate has filled its place,
And I never want your smile
To fall from your face.
