Chapter One – Coldplay
When you try your best but
you don't succeed And the tears come streaming down your face Lights will guide you
home And
high up above or down below Lights will guide you home Tears stream, down your face Tears stream, down on your face Lights will guide you home
When you get what you want but not what you
need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in
reverse.
When
you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it
goes to waste
Could it be worse?
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
When you're too in love to let it
go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're
worth
And ignite your bones
And
I will try to fix you
When
you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
and I...
I promise you
I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and
I...
And ignite your
bones
And I will try to fix you.

Prelude
Seattle
,,Derek…'' Bailey said tentatively. ,,You have cancer.''
Princeton
It was just a normal day. No cases occupying any ones thoughts and actions.
Cameron walked into the diagnostics room and started making coffee for the men. While it brewed she started the computer so she could start checking up on House's mail.
At eight precisely, Foreman walked in and two minutes after Chase came in, stifling a yawn. He had never been much of a morning person, as he'd informed her.
Her phone rang and she picked it up absently, writing a decline to some talk conference someone wanted House to go to. ,,Dr. Cameron speaking.''
,,Ally?''
Cameron froze. ,,Jenny?'' she asked surprised.
,,So you became a doctor after all,'' her sister said, sounding resigned and tired. ,,That's pretty amazing.''
,,Yeah.''
,,Listen, I'm calling about… Derek. He was diagnosed with cancer. I don't know… I didn't understand what the doctors said, but I understood one thing. He'll probably be gone in the next three months.''
Cameron closed her eyes and felt the stinging in her eyes. She tried not to cry, she wouldn't. Not here where House would probably mock her for being so weak. ,,Where?'' she said, voice trembling.
,,Seattle Grace.''
,,I'll be there as quickly as I can.''
She let the phone fall from her grip, her older sister's words ringing in her ears. Derek was dying, her strong big brother who protected her and was her rock when their father died.
,,Cameron?'' Chase asked, sensing her mood. Foreman looked concerned at her. ,,You alright?''
,,I need to speak with House.'' She stood up dazed, grabbed her bag and walked away from the office.

She didn't know how she got to the apartment; she was just suddenly there. She hesitated before slowly raising her hand to knock. She could barely hear it the first time, even though she had knocked. She knocked considerably harder and kept doing so, until she heard the shuffling of his cane on the wooden floor.
,,What on Earth are you doing here at this God forsaken hour of the morning?'' he asked gruffly, when he had opened the door.
,,It's nice o'clock,'' she said, looking at her silver watch.
,,And I ask you again; what on Earth are…''
,,House!'' she said forcefully. ,,Please stop.''
He frowned at her behaviour. ,,Is it that time on the month?''
She rolled her eyes. ,,My brother… he's dying. I need time off.'' She looked down after having said what she came to say. She could feel his eyes on her and it made her nervous like it always did.
,,How long does he have?'' he asked, almost softly.
,,I don't know exactly. Three months?'' she pulled her arm around herself and felt the tears trying to spring forward. She mentally tried to think them away, knowing if she started she wouldn't be able to stop.
Something warm and comforting touched her shoulder and her head wiped up.
House swallowed. ,,I'll talk to Cuddy. Go.''
She needed and sniffed slightly. ,,Thank you.''
She could still feel his eyes on her, when she walked away from him.
--
,,Cameron's taking a paid vacation,'' House said, when he barged into Cuddy's office two hours later.
Cuddy looked up, mouth agape, but he was already gone.

Cameron stood in the airport, patiently waiting on the words Go To Gate to appear on the big blue screen. Coldplay played from her IPod, the words from Fix You, ringing in her ears.
Tears
stream, down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
She sighed and rubbed her forehead, trying to lessen headache that had been worsening since Jenny had called seven hours earlier.
,,How can I say I'm okay with you marrying a guy who is going to die? You have no idea what you're getting yourself into! This will follow you for rest of your life. The what-if?''
Derek's words would forever lie between them. She hadn't seen him since then and that was nearly… many years ago. She could never go back to being Allison Shepherd, the girl who'd known no despair. She was Allison Cameron now, someone who'd felt and seen her love fall apart and die.
Something bumped into her leg and she looked annoyed, only to see House standing before her, scruffy looking and brilliant blue eyes piercing her.
,,How did you get in?'' was the first thing that jumped into her mind. ,,With security and all that.''
He held up a ticket. ,,I figured going to Seattle with you was a good excuse to get out of clinic duty.''
,,Right.''
And that was how a perfectly normal day became one of the most obscure days in Cameron's life.
