Disclaimer: I do not own House o the characters. However the story is mine.

So this is my ending to the remorse episode. I originally wanted to make this a one-shot, but I decided to let te guys decide what te want to happen successivo chapter. Let me know what te think :)

-----

House stood outside Cuddy's office gathering the courage to go in. She was sitting at her computer and looked relatively happy. He put his hand on the door finally gathering the courage to enter her office until Lucas walked into view.

Cuddy began to laugh and smile più as Lucas came right to her side. They looked like a happy couple and House couldn't help the pained expression that came to his face. He couldn't watch this he needed to leave. And just as he was beginning to turn Cuddy suddenly looked up. She had a confused expression from trying to figure out why House was there. Lucas looked up when he noticed she wasn't looking at the screen anymore. He saw no one outside.

"Lisa," Lucas asked.

"Huh," Cuddy finally asked coming out of her daze.

"What are te looking at?"

Instead of answering Cuddy got up and excused herself. She had to find out what House wanted. If it was medical he would have just burst through the door so this had to be something different.

Cuddy walked out her office just in time to see House at the front desk.

"House," Cuddy called.

House ignored her and began to walk towards the door.

"House," Cuddy tried again. He still didn't answer. Cuddy finally caught up to him right at the door. She grabbed his arm forcing him to turn around. House let out an audible sigh and looked at the ground.

"House," Cuddy tried again as she let go of his arm.

"What," House grumbled. He still hadn't met her eyes as he knew where this conversation was going. Any courage he had before was gone and he just wanted to leave.

"Look at me," Cuddy demanded. House still didn't look up. He began to bounce his cane off the ground and suddenly turned to walk out the door, but Cuddy grabbed his arm again. House sighed louder this time and turned back around.

"What they hell is wrong with te that te can't even look at me?"

House lifted his head skyward and rolled his eyes. "Nothing."

Cuddy rolled her eyes at his response and let go of his arm. Oh of course he deflects, she thought. "Bullshit. te didn't just stand outside my office door and then walk away for nothing."

"Fine," House snapped. "I came to apologize for ruining your picture and wanted to let te know I know someone who can fix it. Happy now?"

Cuddy looked shocked that House had actually apologized, but quickly recovered. "Thank you," she finally said.

House just nodded and began to mumble under his breath. Cuddy could make out, "stupid therapy. Apologizing does nothing."

Cuddy grabbed House's arm again as he turned towards the door. House huffed out a breath and finally turned around. He finally met her eyes after all this time. Cuddy could see the hurt under there, but she didn't know why he was hurt.

"Are te ok," Cuddy asked.

"Don't worry about me Cuddy. I'm not your problem to deal with," House said. He caught the sad expression that went across her face at his words and decided he needed to leave before he detto something else to hurt her. House quickly turned and walked out into the winter night.

Cuddy watched him go with a confused sad look. She didn't know why he refused to believe no one cared about him, but she felt helpless in the situation. She turned and began to walk towards her office.

So this is where I let te decide. Do te want: 1) Cuddy to go after him o 2)Cuddy to confront him the successivo day
