Chapter 2

House was silently following Cameron down to the clinic. He couldn't believe Jimmy had the nerve to accuse him of being in love with her. He wasn't in love with her. Why would anything think something as crazy as that? House didn't love anyone. He didn't need to love anyone and therefore didn't need anyone to love him. Love was a waste of his time. Or was it? Did Wilson and Cuddy have a point. Did he have feelings for her? She was 20 years younger than him. She probably didn't even like him anymore. Well, there was only one way to find out. Ask her.

"So, Cameron, you said you needed me for a consult? What's wrong, can't tell if its the flu or just a common cold?" House knew exactly what to say to push her buttons. He wanted to see just how far he could push her. Maybe today he would find out.

"Get a life, House. There is no consult. I needed to talk to you about something. Its rather important and can't really wait. So, do you have time to talk?" Cameron really didn't want to have this conversation now, but she knew waiting would only make it worse.

"Sure. I got time. Wanna buy me some lunch? It is lunch time after all and I am hungry. You pulled me away from Wilson and he always buys me lunch. So, lunch?"

"Whatever. As long as we can talk while you eat, I don't care." Cameron wasn't really hungry and if food got him to sit and talk, then she would buy him whatever he wanted.

"Alrighty, then. Lead the way."

Allison didn't know how their conversation was going to go but she was hoping he didn't make a scene. She didn't want everyone knowing what they were talking about. It was hard enough for her to have to tell him this anyway. You see, Allison was in love. She was in love with her boss and her boss hated her. He had even admitted the only reason he hired her in the first place was because she was hot. What a reason. They had went out on a date and it turned out to be a disaster. House would never believe she loved him for who he was. She didn't want to change him. She would never even think of asking him to change. She just wanted to love him and for him to love her in return. But she had had enough. After 3 years after pining away after him she had come to a decision. She was leaving. Her time was up on her contract to work under House. Three years would be up in exactly one week. This was the hardest thing she had ever had to do.

"Alright, you got me here, you bought me food, now what do you want to talk about? I really hope its something important, because I have better things I could be doing." He didn't really, but she didn't need to know that.

"Oh really? Like what? Playing your PSP? Listening to you iPod? Get real, House, I know you. You can't pull one over one me." It was true, Cameron knew everything about House. Even things he didn't want her knowing, but he didn't need to know that.

"Fine. You got me. Whatever. Get to the point. What do you want to talk about?"

"Well, I'm not sure if you realize but my contract with you is up in a week." Cameron started, only to be cut off by House.

"Yeah, I know. Not just yours, but Chase and Foreman's as well. They've already spoke to me about it. They decided to stay. That's what you were going to say, right? You want to stay on as well." However, House was not prepared to hear what she was about to say.

"No, House, I'm leaving." There it was. She said it.

"Like I said, you want to stay...Wait, what did you just say? Leaving? What, Cameron! Why?" House was floored. Never did he expect to hear that from Cameron, Chase maybe, but not Cameron. She couldn't leave him. "You can't leave me! I mean, why would you want to leave the hospital?"

"More like, why would I want to stay? House, you treat me like dirt. Your mean to me. Your cruel to almost everyone around you. Why would anyone want to stay and work for you? Because that what it is. We are working for you when we should be working with you. You know that." Cameron was starting to get annoyed.

"But I thought you liked me. I mean, we did go out that one time. Doesn't that count for something?"

"Oh yeah. And once again, you were mean to me. Cruel even. Not the best thing to bring up right now, is it? Anyway, I've made up my mind. I'm leaving once my contract is up. Looks like you have one week to find my replacement." And with that, Cameron walked away. She knew House wasn't done talking, but if she stayed any longer, she knew she would start crying and that was one thing she didn't want House to see.

Once Allison got out of the cafiteria, she ran all the way back to the diagnostics room. She needed to get away for a little while and she knew no one would be in there for a while. Or so she thought.

"God, what is wrong with me! Why do I still love him? He's mean and nasty. He's cruel to everyone who even tries to get close to him. How can Wilson stand him?!" Not expecting anyone to hear her, she fell out of her chair when someone answered her rant.

"Its hard, that's for darn sure." Came the voice of Wilson.

"Christ! Scare me to death, why don't ya?!" She didn't mean to yell, but that's how it came out. "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm a little frustrated at the moment."

"Sorry for scaring you. And let me guess...House?"

"Of course, its House. Its always him. When is it ever not him. Is there something wrong with me? I mean, I must be crazy, right? To fall in love with someone like House. Anyone would be out of their mind to love him. Right? Please help me. Your his best friend. You must know something, anything as to why he is so stubborn."

Little did either of them know, but House had walked into his office right as Wilson walked into the room with Cameron. Once he heard the raised voices of Cameron and Wilson, he knew he had to listen in. Wrong, yes, but it was after all his department and he needed to know everything that went on there. Ok, not needed, but wanted...not that big a difference to him. So, he listened, not prepared for what he was about to hear.

"Truly Allison, I wish I knew. I've been friends with House for nearly 20 years and I still can't figure him out. I have never been able to figure out what's really going on in that thick skull of his. All I know, is that he is the most stubborn man on the face of the planet. I'm going to let you in on a little secret...I believe House is in love with you. Now, don't freak out on me, I never said he told me or anything, its just what I think. He's just afraid to admit it."

"In love with me? Yeah, right. Your crazy, Jimmy!"

"Yeah, I must be, cause House said the same thing to me this morning when I called him on it."

"And he was right, you are crazy. House doesn't love me. He never has and he never will. Its not for a lack of trying on my part. I've done everything he's asked of me in the three years I've been here and its gotten me nowhere."

"Allison, please try and understand something. House isn't like you or me. He's been through so many things that, in the process, he's just stopped caring. About hisself and everyone around him. I may be the only person here to have known him for a long period of time, but I honestly don't believe House considers me a friend. Just someone he's known for a long time. And it hurts knowing he doesn't trust me enough to open up to me. But one things for sure, he is my best friend. I don't keep anythng from him. I know I must sound like a girl talking about all this, but its true. And what hurt even more was to realize it all one day." Wilson had never told House any of this. He wasn't prepared to deal with the outcome of it all.

"James, I'm so sorry. That's alot to deal with. How do you do it? I can't take it. Its too much for me and it finally got to me about 6 months ago. Remember when I missed close to a month and a half of work? I told everyone my grandmother died and I had to fly back home and help take care of her things and be with my family. That was a lie. Wilson, my grandmother has been dead for years. Something happened. It had been a long day and House had only made it worse. I hate to sound like a school girl, but he was picking on me and just being down right mean. He yelled at me and even went as far as to say I didn't deserve to be someone's doctor. That I didn't know what I was doing and he couldn't understand why he had hired me in the first place. When I got home that night, I was a mess. I did something terrible. James, that night, I tried to kill myself." Cameron couldn't believe what she had just admitted.

Once she saw the stunned look in Wilson's eyes, she rolled up her sleeves. And there on her wrists were two of the deepest cuts he had ever seen in his life.
