Chapter 1: Playing house with House
Wilson found his friend in one of his hiding spots, comma guys room. "Why are you hiding?" He asked taking the empty chair. It really was sad that no one ever came to visit the comma guy besides House. Did the man not have family?
"I'm not hiding, just relaxing." House said not taking his eyes from the television. General hospital or one of House's soaps was on. Wilson quit trying to keep up with the shows, the same plot lines were recycled over and over. Said something about his friend who hated change, even in his television show plot lines.
"Sure so you just came to visit the comma guy. Been a long time thought you might catch up."
"Yeah. I asked him what he's been up to he said just laying around." House said turning his eyes to his friend, commercial break he could give Wilson a few minutes of his attention.
"Cameron was looking for you, and so was your team." Wilson smiled he noticed House's shoulders tense. His patient was not doing well, and they had yet to find a diagnosis. The new team had gone to the old team members in hopes of finding something they had not thought of, and nothing came of it. A teenage girl would probably be dead by the next evening if House could not figure out what was killing her. Wilson knew not to lecture House about his diversion from work. It was in fact not a diversion. Despite watching television, Wilson knew the patients systems were running through House's mind. Compartments in his memory opening and being emptied onto the floor in search for the right diagnosis.
House leaned back in the chair, gently stretching his bad leg in front of him, "What did Cameron want?" House had started to see his former fellow shortly after Wilson and Cuddy started to date seriously.
"She invited Lisa and me over for dinner tonight." Wilson said watching House to see if House could see that he was not giving him the entire story.
"Why would she do that?" House said knowing that it would be at his apartment. Cameron had taken to almost living there, much to House's dislike. Sometimes he needed his space from Cameron, at least that was most days. Nights spent laying in bed faking sleep because she was next to him filling the room with her smell, her soft snores, and her clinginess even in sleep was enough to keep hi awake all night.
Wilson just shrugged his shoulders, it was better then lying to his friend. "I'll see you tonight." Wilson said as he got up ducking under the television so House could continue to watch is soap that had just returned from commercial break.

"How are things with House?" Foreman asked over his chicken salad sandwich.
"Good." She would be damn if she told Foreman that House was increasingly becoming distant from her, more so then usual.
"I can't believe you left Chase and hooked up with House."
"Well I did." Cameron said annoyed by Foreman. They had gone over this a billion times. Chase was a good guy, but not what she wanted. He learned after awhile that she was not what he wanted either. They parted as friends. He left Princeton and went back home to Australia to take a better position. A few months later House had asked her out for a drink one night, and things just started to happen after that.
"And you are playing house with House." Foreman laughed, it was funny, he expected one of them to come up dead. Which one he was not sure. He had learned about the darker side of Cameron one night when he took her out for some drinks.
"I am tonight." Cameron said smiling as she saw Cuddy and Wilson walk into the room holding hands. It was the only sign of affection they showed to each other at work, and only when going to lunch. She felt a twinge of jealousy, they were so happy, why couldn't her and House be happy? Why couldn't House ever be happy?
"Did the new slaughter come to see you?" Foreman asked changing the subject.
"Yeah. I have no ideas about the patient." Cameron answered. She was happy that they had come, she was bored in the emergency. There were no interesting cases like House had. Occasionally she would sit in on the differential when things were slow in the emergency room.
"I don't know if we are going to be able to help this one." Foreman said morosely. He may act like he cared about the patient, but what he hated most was losing. Each death was a loss, he had not been good enough to save that person. It had nothing to do with the person, but all about how he had not won the game.
