Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, because if I did, I'd have House (with Wilson and Chase in my closet, you know, just in case)

The song is BYE NOW by Atomic Kitten.

Spoilers: Not that I'm aware of

Content Warning: None…right now…

Summary: House and Cameron part ways.

There's two parts to this…except the last paragraph is Wilson. Please let me know what you think. I'm still learning the characters and their interactions with each other and their history with each other.

Lately in my life I'm

Finding it harder to be

Certain of feelings that I

Thought would always be

Playing the game was easy

Saying the things that pleased me

But through it all

I can see the love has slipped away

HOUSE

Gregory House watched Allison Cameron walk off. Twice in his life he watched a woman he loved walked off. What caused Stacy to walk off was a distant memory to him now, but he knew that Cameron was walking off because he couldn't do it. He couldn't tell her what he felt towards her.

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Take this love away from me

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Set my soul and spirit free

Take this love away from me

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Let me be what I can be

Go make it easy on yourself

CAMERON

She couldn't do it anymore. She knew she loved him, but he apparently didn't fell the same way. All his defenses and sarcasms hid who she was sure he was, but he never showed her. Allison Cameron walked away, trying to hold her head up while her heart fell to her stomach.

Lately in my life I'm

Finding I'm stronger if I

Picture myself no longer

Underneath your spell

HOUSE

He sat in his office, trying hard to concentrate on General Hospital, but he found it useless. All he could see was her walking off. He knew it was his inability to emote feelings, but he had, over the years, successfully learned to shut people out. Feeling, emotions – these were what killed people. He threw a pen at the door, causing Chase and Foreman to briefly look up to see what he was doing. How did she do it? How, despite the 'I could care less' façade he put up, did she fall in love with him? And more importantly, how did he fall in love with her?

Did she even realise the power…the control…she had over him? Or, like most everything, was she obliviously nice about it? He threw the red ball in between his hands. She was leaving…not just his team, but Princeton all together. Some job in Chicago. And he was going to let it happen.

Or was he?

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Take this love away from me

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Set my soul and spirit free

Take this love away from me

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Let me be what I can be

Go make it easy on yourself

CAMERON

She had been telling Wilson 'Bye' when she heard her name being called. She looked over and saw House wobbling towards her. A part of her wanted him to stop her. To say what she wanted to hear, but she couldn't. The job she was being offered was too great of an opportunity to pass up for the 'maybe' of Greg House. She looked at him, his blue eyes no longer dancing or sarcastic. "House."

I can't stand to see you

Couldn't bear to feel you

It's tearing my heart and soul in two

HOUSE

"Cameron." He looked over at Wilson. "Jimmy." House suddenly felt like something was wrong. He couldn't…he couldn't seriously be thinking of asking her to stay, could he? "I forgot to tell you good luck in Chicago. You'll be missed here, obviously, but you're a great doctor and they're lucky to be getting you." And I love you. Please stay. Don't leave me. I'm nothing without you.

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Take this love away from me

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Set my soul and spirit free

Take this love away from me

(Bye now - gotta say, say goodbye now)

Let me be what I can be

Go make it easy on yourself

CAMERON

"Thank you, Dr. House." Dr. House? What am I thinking? He's always been just House. Sometimes Greg, but always House. Does he know? Does he want me to stay? "It's been great working with you." But you could never love me the way I wanted you to, could you? I'm not her. Resentment set in her bones. Cameron glanced at her watch. "I have to go. I'll keep in touch. I promise." She quickly kissed Wilson's cheek. "Thanks for everything."

She looked at House, resisting the urge to kiss those lovely lips of his. She stuck her hand out. "I'll write you when I get settled."

Take this love away from me

Can't you see what I can see?

That with you I'm never free

So take your love away from me

Go and just leave me

Go and make it easy on yourself

WILSON

He watched her walk off, knowing that his best friend, Gregory House, would never admit to loving Allison Cameron. And Allison Cameron could no longer allow House to control her emotions. Moving to Chicago was best for the both of them. Allison was choosing to make life a little easier on herself without Greg House, but only Wilson knew that was easier said than done.
