One night out of a million
AU season 1.
Summary: Wilson does something completely out of character and hurts Cameron.
1. The room is cold; the single blanket draped over her naked shoulders doesn't do much to protect her from the cold winds outside. The grey curtain dances in the wind coming from the half open window, and busy traffic seems too close. The sky is grey, and the sun that has just begun to rise is unable to be seen through the thick clouds.
She takes deep breathes, hiding her mouth and nose in her pillow, trying to stop herself from crying out. It seems so unreal.
The glass with water on the table next to her bed is knocked over, and the water that once had been in it is destroying the wood. The door out into the hallway is wide open, and she can see a pile of clothes here and there in the hallway. A few books in the bookcase next to the door are lying on the floor, and the sheets are a mess.
The arm draped around her waist hugs her closer to its body, and she tenses visibly, holding her breathe, willing him not to wake up, but to wake up anyway.
She eyes the blue numbers on her alarm clock, 6.32, her alarm clock will go off in three minutes, and she will have to get ready for work, she will have to forget this... No, she is on vacation for three days; she is going to see her mother.
She closes her eyes and mouth tightly as a single tear falls, it looks painful.
As the numbers change to 6.35 an upbeat song starts to play, and the man next to her grumbles disapprovingly, and she tenses even more.
"Hm?" she hides her face in her pillow as fresh hot tears falls. "Oh" he say realizing what she is doing in the same bed as him, and reaches out to touch her hip, and she jumps slightly at the contact, moving closer to the edge of the bed, making it clear that she doesn't want him to touch her. "Are you all right?" he asks kindly, and she grits her teeth, still facing the pillow.
"Leave" she whispers, begs him, she wants it to come out angrily, like a hiss, but she does not just hate this man now, she fears him now too.
He dresses silently, goes into the bathroom to wash up, and then leaves. He didn't utter anything close to an apology.
She turns off the alarm, and stares at the open window; she hears a dog bark outside.
"Merry Christmas" she whispers to the sky outside.
