Heartless

Summary: The last time Remy Hadley saw Allison Cameron, she broke her heart. Remy swore she'd never let anyone else get close to her again. However, when the two are reunited, an old flame is rekindled. Does time heal all wounds?

A/N: Let's see...I took a little creative licensing with time frame and other things. Like Cameron and Chase never got married...blah blah blah. The team's going to be Thirteen, Taub, Kutner and Foreman. There may be some implied Huddy too. You'll get it as the story goes on.

There will be flashbacks in this story, indicated in italics. There may be some girl/girl action at some point in this story, and if there is, I'll change the rating. Oh, and time changes will be indicated by a line. That's it; enjoy guys! Oh and please, please, please R&R! 3

"Are we just some college fling or do we actually have a future together?" Remy shouted.

"Remy, keep your voice down; you're making a scene!" Allison barked.

"Keep my voice down? God Allison, you're a piece of work. So you're telling me the two years we've spent together have meant nothing to you?" Tears began to stream down Remy's face, and she never cried. She stared at Allison; her blue eyes piercing a hole in the other woman's soul. "Dammit Allison, answer me!"

"I'm sorry. We're just not right for each other," Allison responded bluntly. She turned on her heels, and walked off. The heels of her boots clicked on the sidewalk in the silence. Remy watched her until she turned the corner of the quad, and was out of sight. Remy staggered back slightly and sat on the steps of the university library. She buried her head in her arms and shivered in the cold, winter's night.

But what Remy didn't know was that when Allison reached her apartment, she too broke down and cried.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Remy groaned and slapped the snooze button on her alarm clock. She rolled over in bed and look at the red digital numbers on her clock; it read 5:08 AM. She slowly forced herself out of bed and into the shower. After showering, she pulled her long auburn hair into a ponytail and got dressed in a pair of black slacks and gray, long-sleeved sweater. She topped off her ensemble with her white lab coat. She went into her kitchen and made herself breakfast and a cup of coffee. For a Monday morning, today was starting off suspiciously well. She opened her fridge to get some milk for her coffee and shut the door with her foot. She lost her balance for a split second, and she instinctively reached towards the counter to regain her balance. That was the wrong move; her hand knocked over her mug of coffee, spilling the contents all over the counter and floor.

"Shit!" Remy swore and went to grab some paper towels.

Now it was officially Monday.

About an hour later, Remy arrived at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, ready for another usual day of medical drama enhanced with sarcastic commentary by her cantankerous boss. As she signed herself in, she heard a conversation taking place behind her. The first voice she recognized as Janet, a nurse from the ER; the second, however, was a voice she had not heard in almost seven years.

"Oh my god," Remy breathed and she panicked. She quickly sprinted behind the potted plant in the corner of the lobby, crouched down and hid. The two women talking walked right past her.

"Janet if you can get me those files ASAP, it would be great."

"No problem, Doctor Cameron!"

Allison Cameron. Her first love. The woman who shaped her feelings on relationships was here...again. Remy knew she had been one of House's fellows, but she was told Allison had quit months before she was hired. What the fuck was she doing back here? Remy never wanted to see her again.

"Uh...Thirteen? What are you doing?" a voice asked from behind her.

Remy jumped from her crouched position and whipped her head around. She was relieved that it was only Kutner, eating a corn muffin.

"God Kutner, you scared me. I'm, uh, looking for my contact lens," Remy responded, standing up.

"Oh...okay," Kutner answered suspiciously.

"I've got to go talk to Cuddy," Thriteen said and she quickly walked away.

Kutner stood in the lobby and watched the young doctor get into the elevator. "Wait...Thirteen doesn't wear contacts?" Kutner asked to no one in particular. He shrugged, and took another bite of his muffin.

Remy stormed into Lisa Cuddy's office, slamming the door behind her. The Dean of Medicine looked up from her laptop, visibly irritated.

"Good morning to you, too. What'd House do to piss someone off this early in the morning?" she asked.

"It's not House," Remy responded.

"Oh. Well then, what do you want?"

"Cameron," Remy simply said.

"Excuse me?" Cuddy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's not what I meant. What is Cameron doing here? I thought she moved to Arizona," Remy said.

"Her job offer there fell through. Even though she resigned from House's team, she's still a damn good doctor. The position for senior attending the ER opened up, and I offered it to her. She accepted," Cuddy responded.

"I can't work with her," Remy said.

"Look, Dr. Hadley, whatever personal issues you have with Dr. Cameron need to be worked out between the two of you," Cuddy said, matter-of-factly.

Remy sighed and stormed out of Cuddy's office, slamming the door again.

"I really wish she'd stop doing that," Cuddy said, and resumed typing.
