Hey, new story, finished school for the year so now I have way too much time on my hands! Please tell me if this is any good!

Chase stood at Cameron's apartment door, holding a bunch of flowers and wearing the nicest tuxedo he had. It was their 3 month anniversary, and it had been the best three months of his life. He had never been so happy! He knocked three times, heard a loud crash of something metal inside, and then silence. So he knocked three more times, and this time he heard whispering as well, followed by Cameron's voice saying, "Who is it?"

"Robert,"

"Didn't you say you would come at 7 to pick me up?"

"It's ten past," Chase said, glancing at his watch to double check.

"Oh, um, Robbie, I'm not quite ready yet, can you go down to the car and I'll meet you there in a couple of minutes, ok,"

"I love you Alison Cameron," Chase said, handing her the flowers through the little gap in the door she had open. She looked behind her and then reached her arm out the door to hold them. She was only wearing a dressing gown.

"Can't I come in?"

"Oh, no, Robert, I want to surprise you, and besides, you probably want to go and listen to the baseball on the radio don't you?"

"Alison, you know I'm not interested in that crap," she gave him an innocent pout. "If you don't want to, we don't have to go out for dinner, we can stay here."

"You know what Rob, can we put the dinner off till tomorrow night, you look dashing and everything, but I don't feel 100 and I don't want you to get sick-" Cameron was cut off by something, "you know, Chase, I have to go, There is no point in us talking here anyway,"

"What's wrong with you Ali?! As long as we've been together, you've never turned down a dinner and a bunch of flowers." Chase said, now almost playfully.

"The flowers are beautiful Robert, and you look dashing, I just don't feel quite up to it toni-"

"Cameron, you are out of Milk," Chase heard a voice say from inside Cameron's apartment.

"No, what the hell!" Chase said in disbelief.

"Robert, I can explain," Cameron said, with a look of vulnerability.

"You don't have to," he said, turning around and walking away. He ignored her calls after him, and when he heard saw her running towards him as he got in the lift, he shut the doors. He then put his hand in his pocket, taking out the wring box containing a beautiful diamond wring.

"Good morning everyone," Cuddy said as she walked into the conference room on Monday morning. She had, for a change, had a very good weekend. She wondered to the front of the room and stood in front of Cameron and Foreman.

"Dr Cuddy, has Chase called in sick?" Cameron asked. She had been trying to call him all weekend, but had always got no answer. Even using pay-phones so he didn't see the caller ID and visits to his apartment had proved unsuccessful.

"Where is House?" Foreman followed her with.

"House is in the Clinic"

"And Chase?" Cameron asked.

Cuddy paused before answering, "Is working in the ICU because it is short-staffed until House comes back" Cuddy said quickly.

Cameron got up to leave, "He doesn't want to see you, he asked me for a transfer," Cuddy said to Cameron, as a look of despair appeared on her face.

"Did he say why?" Cameron said, with almost a tear in her eye.

"No, and I didn't ask," Cuddy said, walking out of the room as Cameron sank back into her seat and put her head in her hands.

"Don't worry Cameron, you know Chase, he can be a jerk," Foreman said, getting up and putting his arm around her.

"I made a mistake now I am facing the consequences,"

Lunchtime. Chase wasn't really hungry; he still had sickening thought of Cameron cheating on him going through his head. How could she? He kept asking himself. Several nurses throughout the morning had come up to him, asking if he was ok. He walked out of the ICU and down to the cafeteria, hoping Cameron wasn't there. He looked around the corner, checking she wasn't there, heading to the queue he picked up a tray and shoved a packet of chips on it and a drink.

Meanwhile…

Cameron stood on the other side of the cafeteria, looking at Chase, and then looking across at House who was sitting on the other side of the cafeteria talking to Wilson. How could I have been so stupid? Cameron turned and headed in the direction of Chase.

Chase felt a tap on the shoulder. He knew that gentle touch. "Go away Cameron," he said without turning around.

"Please Robert," she said, following him as he walked towards the main doors of the hospital.

"What," he said turning around abruptly, "Quite frankly, I don't see much point in talking,"

"I'm sorry, if that means anything," Cameron said, looking into his blue eyes.

"Who was it?" Chase asked.

"I don't think that's really important," Cameron said.

"I put my heart on the line, only to find you shagging another guy, and the most you can do is say that who it is doesn't matter?"

"Chase, please," Cameron said, looking around to see half of the people in the lobby staring at them. Chase also looked around.

"Look, Cameron, I'm tired," he said in a loud whisper, walking out the door and not looking back at her look of despair.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

A week had gone by. House had long returned from his expulsion by Cuddy to the clinic, and Chase had returned when House did. Cameron still hadn't told him her little secret, and the two had adopted a method of ignoring echother.

"You'll have to talk sooner or later," Foreman said to Cameron as they sat waiting for the MRI machine to show the results.

"I'm okay with later," Cameron said after a rather long and awkward pause.

"I'm on your side all the way," Foreman said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm fine," Cameron said, shaking it off, not even giving him eye contact.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Cameron and Chase worked on the patient together, in silence. The most they said was instructions to each other. The silence was getting to Cameron.

"How are you going?" Cameron asked, with the same smile that made Chase fall for her in the first place. Chase just looked up, giving her the look that made her fall for him.

"Fine," was all he said. Another long and painful silence ensured.

"It was House," she said, turning around and leaving the room, not wanting to receive Chase's wrath.
