House's War

By Caroline

House fan fiction

(Missing Scene from "Half Wit") All normal and abnormal disclaimers apply. Besides I'm presently unemployed – I got no money.

This is all from House's POV – after "The Kiss"

What have I done?

House stood on the roof of the hospital, staring at yet another Princeton sunset. His mind was flying through the last few moments, trying to figure out what he did wrong – how he lost control.

Why didn't I move out of her way? Why didn't I stop her?

She bewitched him, he finally decided. Just for a few moments but it was just enough for him to question himself ever since.

"Damn her." She took a chance and it worked. He had responded to her and he wanted more. Thank God she went for that needle. It gave him the out he needed. He wanted to talk with Wilson about what happened. Alas he couldn't trust him. Wilson had talked to Cameron when he knew about the brain cancer diagnosis. He was on his own.

Cameron had won this battle. House's war was just beginning.
