Disclaimer- I do not own House, I wish I did though maybe I will one day. I also do not own the song From This Moment On by Shania Twain.
A/N- I was sitting on the bus listening to this song on my ipod and this story came to me. I hope you like it.
Dr. Allison Cameron entered her apartment after a long day at work. House had been extra irritable this past week and he was making even more comments about her then usual. It should have bothered her but it didn't, it was probably because she loved him with all her heart even if he didn't love her. No one ever said love was smart.
After depositing her stuff by the door and hanger up her coat she headed into her studio. She had loved to paint for as long as she could remember, everyone told her she should be an artist when she grew up, but she has wanted to be a doctor. She had never told anyone that she was an artist it was her little secret, her way of reliving stress and expressing emotion.
As soon as she entered the room she saw the painting that she had painted about a year and a half ago. It was after her non date with House
From this moment
Life has begun
From this moment
You are the one
She had painted the best part of the date the end. House had been relaxed completely; it was the first and the last time that she had seen House relaxed. And as she looked at the painting she smiled. She had just stolen her cotton candy back from House and they were both smiling. After that she had told him she would race him to the car and he had limped after her telling her she had an unfair advantage but when she had looked back at him he was smiling and she had smiled and slowed down telling him he walked to slow. 'I'm a cripple' he had replied and they had made their way to his car in comfortable silence.
From this moment
I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for you only I give my last breath
From this moment on
That night on their 'date' she had realized that she liked House as more than a friend, but she knew that it would never go anywhere because he didn't even like her. So after House had given his speech and she knew he would be forced to fire someone she had quit, so that she could get over House even though she knew that she never would. When she had held out her hand for him to shake and he hadn't it had hurt more than anything but she had not pushed it she had just left.
I give to you my hand before my heart
I can't wait to live with you
I can't wait to start
When he had come to her apartment to try to convince her to come back to work she had been full of happiness. That was probably what had given her the courage to 'set her terms.' She had been so happy when he had agreed and she had felt the need to tell everyone she could; of course she had later regretted that because the date had been a disaster. She never told anyone what had really happened on the date and she had not told anyone what she had learned. She had learned that she loved him.
From this moment
As long as I live
I will love you
I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
As she looked at the picture she realized that she would have to tell House how she felt about him. She could not keep it a secret any longer because even if he did not feel the same way about her she would still always love him. The only problem was how she would tell him she loved him. Suddenly looking at the picture she had an idea. She could tell him and if he rejected her she would not have to face him while he did it. Then quickly before she could change her mind she grabbed the painting, wrote something on the back and ran out the door, grabbing her coat on the way.
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
