Cameron had been absent two days and Cuddy was beginning to worry. She wouldn't even bother asking House, he had been particularly crude and vile since his return to work on Monday; Cuddy didn't want to get into it. It was a bad start. But Cameron's absence was especially troublesome, she had barely ever missed work in the two years since she had begun; mince the brief time when she had "quit." Cuddy picked up the phone and dialed Cameron's number.

"Hi, its Allison, I'm not here right now mostly likely I'm at work so give me a call on my cell or leave a message after the beep." The phone let out a loud beep.

"Hello, Dr. Cameron, its Dr. Cuddy, I was wondering if you were ok….You haven't been in these last couple days…well if you are sick I hope you feel better please call in as soon as possible." Damn she hated leaving messages.

The clocked ticked by and Cuddy saw four different nurses running down the hall crying, no doubt the work of House. Cuddy got up and went to go talk to him. She saw Chase and Foreman waiting outside. She smiled and past them, but Chase said something to her.

"What?" Cuddy asked not sure what Chase had said.

"I said I wouldn't go in there if I was you, he's in a foal mood today."

"And yesterday," Foreman grumbled under his breath.

"Well, let's find out why." Cuddy continued, Chase grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"It's because Cameron isn't here. Something happened between the two of them. They fought or something, when we asked where she was he nearly bit our heads off."

"Really?" Cuddy looked amused "Maybe I'll go check on our Dr. Cameron instead. She said her goodbyes and left the hospital driving over to check on Cameron.

Cuddy knocked on the door and no one answered.

"Cameron are you in there?" No answer "Its Dr, Cuddy." Cuddy pressed up against the door and heard Moon River playing softly in the background. "Cameron I know your there, I hear Audrey Hepburn." She heard scuffling and Cameron slowly pulled the door open. She looked awful.

Cameron's usually beautiful well kemp hair was pulled back into a messy frizzy not. Her nose was red, her mouth raw and dry. She was in Flannel Pajama Pants and a large Black T-shirt, covered in Chocolate Stains but most noticeable was her eyes. They were red and leaking tears and full of pain. Cuddy was speechless.

Cameron had always seemed very cool and collected.

"I'm sorry I didn't call." Cameron whispered looking almost like a child. "I haven't been feeling well." Cuddy ignored her.

"What happened?" Cuddy let herself in a led Cameron over to the couch.

"Its not important." Cameron muttered.

"Cameron, anything keeping you out of work is…" Cameron interrupted.

"House and I got into this fight. It seems ridiculous now but then it just. He said these things and after the last few nights. It was just horrible. Its not just his fault." Cuddy looked confused and Cameron elaborated. "House and I well are, well we were, kind of, well defiantly…" Cameron kept rambling but suddenly Cuddy understood,

"Oh, Wow." Cameron began her story. She told Cuddy all about the last few nights.

"Everything seemed so good, which is surprising considering its House, what happened?"

"He tripped."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

House fell hitting his arm on a rock. He cursed loudly and Cameron was down next to him in an instant. The thigh throbbed but only for a few moments then it disappeared. Its memory stung, House could feel his insides turning cold, anger running through him.

"Are you ok?" Cameron asked worriedly. She tried to help him up. He roughly pushed her away. She looked like a pained puppy. He got up on his own and dusted himself off. He turned and began running back towards the Hospital. He heard Cameron spiriting behind him.

"House wait up…what happened?"

"I tripped."

"Oh ok." She didn't say anything else not sure what upset him. They reached his apartment and she turned to him making a decision.

"I'm going to go home for a few hours, give me a call later if you maybe want to do something. Or maybe I'll just see you Monday." Cameron turned hoping he would stop her. He did.

"Your wearing my clothes."

"Oh"

"Can I have them back?" Things got very quiet then.

"I don't have anything to change into." He left her then and walked up the stairs. Cameron waited not sure what to do. Should she follow? Should she stay? Everything had gotten really messed up. Earlier today it had been perfect was had ruined it. He returned holding her clothes. He held them out to her.

"Here" She wasn't going to let him do this.

"What happened?" He turned around.

"I'll see you on Monday, I start work."

"House what happened?" There was no snide comments, no silly remarks, Cameron looked at him and only saw fear.

"Cameron I don't want to talk about it."

"House everything was great, everything was perfect."

"Perfect…Perfect what are you 14? Nothing was perfect."

"These past few days" Cameron starred. What was he doing.

"Were nothing, We had sex, it was fun."

"House, you don't mean that." Cameron could feel tears pulling at her eyes wanting to be released. She wouldn't give in.

"Cameron I'm twice your age, Your beautiful, your smart, there is no reason you would want to be with a cripple like me."

"Your not a cripple anymore." Cameron pleaded.

"You can't fix me Cameron."

"I'm not asking to fix you House." Tears of sadness were beginning to be replaced by fury. He always brought this up.

"You may not now, but you will. I am an ass. I am an ass with a cane who is mean and harsh. You will want to change me. You marry dying college students and help old ladies cross the street."


"Don't ever mention him. Ever. He and you are nothing alike. He was kind and sweet and gentle and he was capable of love. I knew I couldn't fix him, but I wanted to marry him. He didn't want me to. He pushed, he tried to get away but I loved him I wouldn't let him. You I have never tried to fix. I have tried to get to you like me for me. You want me to change to be more like you to be meaner and curler and you have succeeded a bit. Look at it. Now I've tricked patients into hurting themselves so I could prove they were inducing themselves. I have gotten high, I've slept with two of my colleagues. House I have never tried to change you." With that she stormed out.

------------------------------------------------------------

Cameron broke down crying. She had messed it up. It was her fault. Cuddy rubbed her back.

"Its ok Cameron its not your fault. Its ok."
