Loved Someone Else
Disclaimer: I don't own House, M.D.
Chapter 1: Watching
He'd been watching her for longer than he could remember. Must've been since she started working at the Hospital. But she never noticed him watching. Maybe it was better that way.
At the same time, she was doing watching of her own. She was watching the guy that she loved. That guy noticed her watching. But he never did anything about it. He was too busy watching the woman he loved. And the woman he loved was watching the man that she was married to. She was too confused to know who she loved.
It was an obvious vicious circle. He wouldn't have been surprised to find that the circle went deeper than anyone else thought that it had. But there was never any honesty in Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. It was all lies and secrets.\
And he'd been holding on to one for years. Seeing her pain, never made anything any better. Maybe that's just the way things were like when you worked with House: pain and disappointment.
He sat in his office, mapping out everything from his mind onto paper. It was completely confusing.
He was in love with Cameron. Cameron was in love with House. House was in love with Stacy. Stacy was married to Mark. Mark loved Stacy. But Stacy was torn between Mark and House. Lies and secrets ruled the day, hell, they ruled months at a time.
He prayed that his secret would never reach Cameron's ears. Or House's for that matter. He would never let him live it down. It seemed best for it to stay hidden, possibly forever, depending if he never thought that it was the right time. Maybe it would never be the right time. Is there ever really a right time to tell someone that you've been in love with them since you first saw them? Who really knew.
But as long as Cameron didn't know, Dr. James Wilson would feel safe.\
AN: This fic actually came to me because of my mother of all people. We were watching an episode of House tonight and she mentioned that Cameron was her second favorite character besides House. I mentioned that Wilson was my third favorite character after House and Cameron. She then said, "Then why didn't you make your story a Cameron/Wilson story?" Parents can have the weirdest affect, can't they? Anyways, enough rambling, please R&R!
