Disclaimer: I wish. Geez.

More cursing. Nothing terrible. Read and review!

His heart raced as other cars flew past him. His motorcycle had never been on a quest so purposeful. It seemed like it had been eons since he had spoken to her and with every passing second his heart grew more agitated.

At long last he reached Cameron's apartment. He limped up the stairs as quickly as his bum leg would carry him, pain notwithstanding.

He reached her conveniently open door and stopped short, aghast.

Glass and wood shards littered the hardwood floor. There was blood everywhere, puddling around a single object.

Alison Cameron.

Every surface of her body seemed abused, broken or bleeding in some way or another. She was unconscious.

"CAMERON!" He yelled, attempting to wake her as he hopped to her side through shattered glass and blood droplets. Feeling for a pulse, he spoke to her roughly. "Alison, I need you to wake up. Now." After finding a slow and weak but constant heartbeat, he pulled his phone out of his pocket, smearing the faceplate with blood. He frantically dialed the Princeton-Plainsboro Emergency Room.

"House…" A strangled, choked noise came from the prostrate figure on the floor.

"Cameron. Stay with me. Don't fall asleep," he begged.

"No…no hospital. Not Princeton," she sighed tiredly.

"Don't be ridiculous."Turning his head away, he replied to the idiot woman answering the phones. "Yeah, ambulance to 3606 Orleanna Road. Apartment number 601. Extreme blood loss- bring B negative. Just bring it, damnit!" Cameron made feeble efforts to pull his phone away. He hung up angrily.

"Why in the hell wouldn't you call an ambulance first?! Why not the hospital, you stupid woman? Not that you have a choice, of course." He gingerly inspected her head wound. She cringed as he gently wiped off some of the blood from her forehead with his sleeve.

"Chase…"

"Shut up about the damn wombat. I don't give a bloody fuck where he is or why he isn't helping you. What's been hurt?"

"It's… it's cold. I'm tired, House." He stared into her glazed eyes.

"No! No- Don't sleep, Cameron." Her eyes drooped. As they closed he spoke again. "Stay here. Stay with me. Please." His voice cracked and he bit his lip.

He slapped her. Hard.

"Wake up, damnit! Don't make me tell you again!" A single tear rolled down her cheek.

"My leg, House. Glass… femoral artery…" He cursed himself.

"Fuck. Stay awake, Cameron. Listen for the sirens." He shuffled his way down to her left thigh, which was dark with her blood. The mutilated gash was obscured by the slacks she wore. He ripped them apart savagely. Cameron did not protest, but merely clenched an invisible handhold on the floor.

The shard of objecting glass was sticking straight out of her pale thigh.

"Cameron."

"Yes…" she breathed.

"Take a deep breath. I want you to hold it." She did as she was told, and as she held her shallow breath, he tore the glass out of the disfigured leg.

She did not scream. The small whimper she released from her mouth was feeble and decreased in perfect time with the newly heard ambulance sirens.

House removed his belt and made a tourniquet of it for her leg. As he finished, a troop of ambulance attendants and firefighters pushed him out of the way. He limped hurriedly to the ambulance waiting below, realizing that his favorite pair of jeans was ruined, stained with blood and riddled with glass shards.

That was nothing.

He didn't know what had happened to her. He didn't ask. All he knew was that if she died, he would die too. He already died a little every time he saw her with him… just a little more wouldn't matter.

If she shattered, he would lie down in the shards and surround himself with her.
