Okay, this is my first shot at fan fiction, so bare with me:). It's a Cameron-centered story, and I wasn't really planning on Cam/House, but it just sort of happened that way. I'm not totally finished writing it yet, but the first few chapters are done. It might not even turn into a romance, I'll keep it just a friendship, we'll see.
Disclaimer: House is not mine. Boo-hoo.
Reviews are welcome, and enjoy!
Why Allie? Why did you have to do this to me?
Allison Cameron bolted upright, gasping for air. She'd had another nightmare, and it was worse than the rest. She'd seen her again, but it was more graphic this time. She was so pale, and there was a bullet hole in her head, and blood all over her.
She couldn't escape it. She never could. For 15 years it had been haunting her, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Her friends had suggested therapy, but she refused, it was hard enough for her to tell the story to them, let alone a complete stranger.
She looked at the clock. 2:30 am. There was no way she'd be able to get back to sleep now. She got up and headed into the bathroom to splash some cold water on her face.
She let the cool liquid hit her skin and her thoughts drifted. It wasn't my fault. I can't keep doing this. It has to stop. But what could she do? She was not going to a shrink. That was decided, but her greatest fear was that it might start affecting her work. She couldn't put her patients in danger, and would never forgive herself if anything happened to them because of her. And what about her co-workers? What if they found out? She was a good actress, but not that good. If she didn't do something, they'd eventually start noticing. They weren't that stupid. And what about House? Oh God, House. He couldn't know. She'd rather die than have him know about her sins.
Turning off the water, she leaned back against the opposite wall and closed her eyes. It was so long ago. Why couldn't she get over it? Of course, she knew the answer to that. This was just something you don't get over.
So that's it, hope you liked it. Yes, it's short, and so is chapter 2, but they'll get longer after that.
