Chapter 4

Foreman and Chase were sitting in the office waiting for House to show up when both of their pagers went off at the same time. Closely followed by Wilson and Cuddy's voices from the hallway. They looked at each other and ran out the door, "What happend?" Foreman asked as soon as he saw House lying on the gurnee.

"Hit and Run" Cuddy informed them in a scared yet calmed tone. "Shoulders broken, probably has massive internal bleeding." she stated.

House opened his eyes and could make out the faint voice of his collegues, "Where's Cameron?" he asked groggly.

Wilson looked at Chase who just shrugged as he ran with the gurnee. "Hasn't showed up yet." he said as they wheeled House into an E.R. room. "Don't worry your going to be fine." he said, trying to make him feel a little better.

House gave him a small grunting noise, "Don't say that." he said as his breath's became more rigged. "That's Cameron's job" he finished before promply passing out.

Wilson glanced over at Cuddy who in turn gave him a look. As if they both knew what had happend the night before. They both knew it was a huge hurdle for House to admit his feelings for Cameron and let alone act upon them. But now that he was a patient verses a doctor they both didn't know what to think.

Just Drinks Chapter 4

Cameron showed up at the hospital about an hour after House was brought in. Her headache had subsided a little, she ignored her usual cup of coffee and went straight to her lab coat. Pulling it quickly over her creamy skin. She glanced around the break room and didn't see the usual occupants. Cameron furrowed her brow a little in confusion and walked out into the hall. Foreman and Chase were coming out of Houses' room when she found them.

Cameron was about to ask what was going on when she saw Chase take off his gloves and threw them angrily to the floor. She glanced over at Foreman as if in slow motion and noticed the sad demnoir that had crept over his usual professional like face. She had no idea what was going on but she could tell by her heart rate that had suddenly increased something wasn't right.

"Guys...what...what happend?" she asked nervously.

Both Chase and Foreman looked over at her and then back at eachother. Foreman took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "House was in an accident on his way to work." he said gently, so not to alarm her. Cameron felt tears come to her eyes instantally and her stomach drop. The reason why she was late was because of him. He had gotten into a car accident...she watched the ambulance take him away and she thought nothing of it. "Cam...he's in a coma" Foreman finished.

Cameron looked at him like he had just diagnosed her with cancer. She looked down at the floor quickly and back up at them before turning on her heels and walking away. She wasn't sure where to go but she had to get away.

Just Drinks Chapter 4

Half hour later and 13 blocks away Cameron found herself sitting on a bench at the city park. Memories of last night flooding her brain again. Just as a small smile would cross her lips Foreman's words would echo in her mind, "Cam, he's in a coma" For just a few little words they sure had a huge imact on her life. Was the driver drunk? Was he to hung over from the night before? This was all her fault. She should never have showed up at the bar. She should have just stayed home, on the couch, with her book where she was safe. Where he was safe.

She didn't realize she was crying until the old woman next to her handed her a kleenex. "Here sweetie." she said simply.

Cameron gave her a warm smile, "Thank you" she said polietly and wiped her eyes.

"Love trouble?" The woman asked with a small inviting smile.

"You could say that." Cameron stated.

The old woman gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "Tell him how you feel honey. He'll understand." she said honestly.

Cameron laughed a little, "He already knows" she started, "He was in a car accident. He's in a coma." Cameron noticed how the words had come out without a problem. It felt like she was telling another family member about there cousin or something. Which was weird for her because she normally had trouble telling people there relatives condition. Cameron felt her eye brows furrow once again and hot tears spill down her cheeks.

The woman gasped a little, "Oh." she said, coming out as a gasp. "I'm so sorry. I had no idea."

Cameron shook her head lightly. Dissmissing the woman's comment, "You didn't know."

The woman looked at Cameron and squeezed her hand reassuringly, "Go see him sweetie" she suggested. No it wasn't a suggestion it was a command. And the way she said it made Cameron listen. She gave the mysterious woman a small smile and made her way back to the hospital.

Once Cameron got to the gate of the park she turned around and looked at the bench she was just sitting at. Not seeing the old woman she was just talking to before. Cameron looked around for a second before turning and making her way back to the hospital. She realized she still had on her lab coat and wrapped her arms around herself.
