Learning how to say Goodbye Part 3
April 10
House's POV
Abba began to ring throughout the study.
"This is the voice of Dr. House. If bạn are Wilson, leave me alone. Otherwise leave a message after the beep. Beep"
"House, you're not going to fool me with that again. I know it's not the machine."
"Wilson, how can I make your life hell today?"
"We need to talk!"
"I'm listening ..."
"This is not something that we can talk about on the phone!"
"I know bạn have same-sex tendencies, so I'd prefer it if we can talk on the phone ..."
"I'm not kidding. 5pm on the roof of the hospital ..."
"Wilson is everything, ok?"
"5pm on the roof."
What did Wilson have in mind? Hopefully it wasn't going to be another one of his speech on ethics and the fact that one of his patients died again.
Cuddy's POV
"Cuddy, we have to talk about your wedding."
"Ok. Give me five phút and I'll be in your office"
"I'm on the roof of the hospital ..."
"What are bạn doing on the roof?"
"It's the only place where House won't bother us. He will have already thought of plans to sabotage your dress hoặc your shoes."
"Ok. I'll be there in 5. Are bạn ok?"
"Yes."
What the hell does Wilson have in mind? Why does he want to meet on the roof of the hospital to talk about my wedding? He's right though, House will never think we're up there. But I feel like we're not being honest with him. House seems to have abandoned any idea of sabotaging preparations for my marriage, and I'm grateful for that.
I glance at my watch and continue to check over documents for a liver transplant tomorrow. I can't concentrate so I get my áo, áo khoác and climb to the roof.
"Wilson it's 5:05! You're late!"
"House? What the hell are bạn doing here?"
"Cuddy? I could ask bạn the same question."
"Wilson đã đưa ý kiến he had to talk to me."
"That little bastard manipulator."
"House, tell me what's going on."
"He told me the same thing. 'House we must talk. Meet bạn at 5 on the roof'. It seemed strange, but I didn't think he was planning anything like this."
"Yeah, we should both just go back to work. Or…we could try to talk about us."
"Cuddy, there is nothing to clarify ..."
"Oh yes we do. It's been two months since we talked and those were the two ugliest months after your return from Mayfield."
"I have nothing to say ..."
"So let me speak."
House didn't answer but let Cuddy begin her speech. They sat on the edge of the tường and stared at the sky until she began to speak.
"It's been thêm than twenty years since we first meet, and we've never been able to get along. I don't understand if it's because we are too complicated for one another hoặc if we are incapable of having a relationships at all. We have had other stories, with other people and some of them seemed to last. We could manage our relationships for a short time, but I couldn't keep going like that. And now I'm going to marry a person who I met just last year. I don't know if I am in love, if I'm doing it just so I don't have to spend the rest of my life alone, hoặc if I'm doing it for Rachel. I can count on my fingers every time I have fought with him. With bạn I need a computer to keep a record of them all. But when we yelled at each other I felt a lot better. Your jokes and your impossible demands fill my day. It's not a bad thing; they give me something to distract me from the tediousness of my day. I need the distraction bạn provide."
Cuddy stood up to leave, but House's voice stopped her.
"I've always thought I'm not capable of having a relationship with someone, especially after we met. In the gần đây months I tried to stay as far away from bạn as possible, for fear of creating the biggest chaos I ever have. I'm trying to behave maturely, but bạn and your conversations with Wilson have made it all even thêm complicated. The only thing I can do is let everything go. I have to overcome the crush that I've had on bạn that lasts a lifetime. Like bạn said, that thuyền sailed long ago."
House has reached the roof access door, and Cuddy stares at him as he looks at her with tears in his eyes.
"The piece bạn played on the piano, it was a serenade to me wasn't it? That night, when bạn gave me the score, it was my serenade?"
"Yes."
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me."
"House, will bạn come to my wedding?"
"I don't want to ruin the happiest ngày of your life." He đã đưa ý kiến quietly and stepped through the door, letting it lung lay, swing shut behind him.
And with that bạn have removed all my certainties. Everything I thought solid and strong, bạn made it all collapse.
