Later that hari 7:00 p.m.
House had already woken up from his nap that lasted nearly twelve hours. He had woken up about fifteen minit before seven, and made his way back to his office. As he finalized some paperwork and threw his signature here and there, he got visited sejak his three sebelumnya employees. They all came to visit at the same time, without notice and without hesitation. He wasn't even paying attention when they arrived, he was lebih focused on signing his paperwork that he didn't even care for, rather than listen to what they had to say.
"Hey."
They all lined up around his meja as Cameron had taken the first approach. Would he bite? atau swim away like always? You'd expect the most likely choice wouldn't you?
"Hey." He replied. He refused to look up, but still carried the conversation with them. They all took turns saying something, rotating from Cameron, to Foreman and to Chase.
"Um. Are anda okay?"
"You wanna know how many times I've been asked that?"
"You think anda could actually answer our soalan instead of posing new ones for us to answer?"
"No."
"Shut up Foreman, his girlfriend's dying. anda can't really expect him to be less irritable."
"Same Ciuman keldai Chase."
"How anda been holding up?"
"I'm fine."
"No you're not."
"No, seriously, I'm fine."
"We don't need the sarcasm, alright? Were trying to help anda here."
"By feeding me your sympathy? I feel I'll do much better without it anyway."
"Say whatever anda want House. Were not leaving."
"I know your leash on Chase. What's yours on Foreman?"
"The fact that I might care?"
"Nah."
"No really, he doesn't have a leash. To be honest, neither do I. She didn't put us up to this."
He finally looked up at them. They saw the exhaustion in his eyes and the pain that rested. He had finally finished up his paperwork and closed a file and set it aside. He kicked back and listened what they had to say to him, with the occasional remark.
"Were sorry, House."
"And we know what you're going through."
"To see a loved one--in pain, in distress the whole depressing deal."
"And why are anda apologizing to me?"
"Because we feel bad?"
"We are human House."
"And, we give sympathy."
"But out of what? anda guys didn't do anything. anda didn't give her the cancer. anda didn't allow it to metastasize."
"We're apologizing because we know how much this is hurting you."
"We feel bad about, everything that's happened to anda in your life."
"This has added to that misery."
"So out of guilt?"
"No!"
"Even when you're this miserable, you're still impossible."
"Oh yeah, deflect."
Cameron and Foreman turned to Chase. House just grinned at his cunning prodigy. Back and forth, it was Chase and House.
"Elaborate."
"You're not doing this because you're an ass. And you're not doing this to piss us off."
"Go on."
"And the only reasonable explanation left is--"
"Yes?"
"You're--afraid. Afraid of--all of this. How it will turn out--despite the fact that anda already know how it will end up."
He paused, and he left his mouth open about to say something, but he took a breath instead and finally spoke.
"You're afraid of the truth. This particular truth. And to deflect, anda obsess over why we are apologizing. But anda know we do care. anda just--want to piss us off, so that we can leave, and anda won't have to say anything."
Cameron and Foreman were shocked and curious at all his retorts. House smiled gladly.
"Well done. Now, we can talk about it."
"That simple?"
"I feel stupid."
"You should. We've been working with him for how long and anda didn't catch that?"
"I knew I had an impact on you."
"Okay. Anyways. She tells me that--you've been trying to find a cure for her?"
"If scientists all around the world can't, what makes anda think anda can?"
"Well, he is a famous diagnostician known world-wide, and he's solved unexplainable cases and saved lives that your average doctor couldn't. I think he has a fair chance in finding it."
"Give me the statistics."
"Honestly?"
"Don't."
"I'd say--one in a million chance anda could find the cure to cancer, as opposed to all the other scientists, one in a billion chance they could find the cure. Just focusing on you, forty percent chance anda could find it, sixty percent says anda can't."
"God, you're such a Ciuman ass." House complained.
"I believe it." Cameron defended.
"Couples ALWAYS back the other up. With--the exception of me and Cuddy."
"Oh I believe that." Cameron confessed.
"Don't we all?" Foreman added.
"Not all the time. No, sometimes anda do."
"Barely." House retorted.
"I never really expected anda two to ever get together but--"
"Please tell me were not going to go all mushy on this. Can I leave now, you've gotten my sympathy atau whatever anda wanted from me."
"No one's stopping you."
"Good," he berkata and walked towards the doors.
"Later Homez."
Now it was just Cameron and Chase. Chase finally took his place over on House's recliner as Cameron and House discussed some things. He didn't get involved, but he added in the occasional remark.
"As I was saying--you two fit well. I mean, you've been a major pain in the keldai to her before but--she's cared about anda a lot for a while. Goes the same for anda towards her. I don't know why anda guys didn't make something of it a while back."
"Because he's a narcissistic pain in the keldai that doesn't tunjuk his feelings. It's his own damn fault."
"You're brilliance tonight is--irrefutable. I like it."
"You call that brilliance?"
"What else would anda call it?"
"Acting like you?"
"Not necessarily Berlakon like me--analyzing and thinking like me however. That's the brilliance of it."
Chase gave a smirk as he laid back on the recliner. Cameron managed to break a smile too.
"And she told me."
"Which was?"
"What anda told her."
"I tell her a lot of things. I told her--something about marrying Wilson I think?"
"What?!?"
Chase had shot up from the chair and looked at House. His face was shocked, but shocked with a grin.
"I don't remember, but, go on?"
"How anda told her, anda loved her."
"WHAT?!?"
Chase had yelled even louder this time. He stood up from the recliner and decided to sertai the conversation.
"This is true."
They both smiled to the revealing of the truth. House was capable of feelings. Those deep, deep emotions we all feel at one point atau another in our lives.
"She was pretty happy when she told me about it."
"Why am I always the last to find out about things?"
"No you're not."
"Yes he is."
"I was the last to find out that--you two had got together. I was the last to find out that she had terminal cancer and now this."
"Well, I'm sure Foreman doesn't know."
"No, no, he does. That's kind of why he left. He had run into my conversation with her."
"Damn it."
"Well, I don't know what to say kid. Brilliance, again, irrefutable, however your ties to the loop. Those still remain to be seen."
"Well, it's getting late so. We should be going."
"Of course."
Cameron walked behind his meja as he stood up from his chair, grabbing his cane. She stood in front of him for a second, and Chase followed close behind.
"What?"
Cameron went and hugged him. House surprisingly, hugged back, after a couple seconds. Then they released and she just looked at him.
"She's in our prayers."
"God, don't get me started."
She laughed, and moved aside for Chase to give him a hug. They patted each other on the back, like how every other guy hug would be. Then they released.
"Were sorry."
"And I know."
They struggled for a half smile to give to him and then turned around and made their way out of his office. Chase put his arm around her as they opened the doors and walked out of his sight. Within minutes, he packed up and turned off his lights, and went home, to get a full nights rest.

House to Cuddy point of view (House's POV):
You're hopelessly lost, because today
The world seems a bit too big for you
I was pretty sure I've seen it all
Until anda came, opened up my heaven
And ironically my hell
I get torn down
You're glad to get torn down with me
Well that's something I've never seen
It seems that I'm a bit wrong about the world
As of toady
Because anda came and showed me wrong
anda take me down, anda bring me up
Well, at least anda made a change
Despite the things anda cannot see
Despite the world attire
And despite the truths anda wish to change
anda hide well, that i have to admit
But I can see right through you.
