Cameron woke up especially early the next morning, getting ready. She was in the bathroom drying her hair. House woke up to the sound, and his heart. It had literally stopped for a few second's. Than he remembered the hard truth. It wasn't Wilson. Wilson wasn't here anymore, he had left him, he was gone. Forever. House sighed deeply, running his hands over his face, before popping a few Vicodin, he sighed again. Almost out. He got up and limped into the open doorway of the bathroom.
"What are you doing? It's five thirty in the morning!" House groaned.
Cameron turned off the blow dyer. "I have to go back home."
His eyes grew, and his lips parted.
"To get my stuff." She finished.
"Oh."
"How long will you be gone?"
"Till tomorrow night."
"Okay." He began to limp away, but he turned around scratching the back of his head. "Do you..." He shook his head, with his eyes shut. "Do you think you can get me some Vicodin?" He looked at the wall. "I'm out and I can get any." He looked back at her, and shrugged. "Since I'm dead and all."
She stared a him for a minute, he was about to speak, she nodded. "I'll see what I can do."
He nodded. "Thanks." He turned around and limped to kitchen.
He sat down at the island, kneading his missing muscle with his knuckles, Cameron in.
"Hungry?" She asked.
He just nodded, with squeezed shut eyes.
"It's worse in the morning's isn't it?" She asked, cracking eggs into a lightly greased pan.
He nodded. "How'd you guess?" He asked, sarcastically.
"After years of working for you, I sort of guessed. You showed up work late, so I'm guessing you waited for the Vicodin to kick in, and I noticed your limp is less noticeable as the day progresses."
"Quite the observer."
She shrugged. "I learned from the best." She smiled behind over her shoulder at him, he smiled back at her, turning back around. She cut up onion, tomato, green and red pepper, and shredded some blocked cheese.
She set a plate in front of House and herself. Before sitting down she checked on Alex, he was still sleeping. Luckily he hadn't woken from the sound of the blow dryer. She came back and sat in front of her plate of fruit and omelet, and began eating.
"What time's your flight?" House asked, stuffing a big piece of omelet into his mouth.
"Seven. After I eat, I'm going to change Alex and then we're heading out. By the way, thank's for letting us stay here till I get back on my feet."
He nodded, as he chewed. She smiled at him. After eating, she did the dishes, got Alex up; changed, eaten and dressed. She walked out the door at six. House stared at the door for a few moments. Then he limped to the couch, and turned on the television. He watched t.v. for most of the day. He passed out sometime in the afternoon, the rest of the day went by fine. He watched t.v., played his piano, showered, and passed out with a glass of whiskey in hand.
xXxXx
Cameron arrived in her house she once called home. The place that once held warm memories, now seemed colder, it made her heart break. Looking around at the framed memories of their life, the life they'd never have again. She spent all day and night, packing, talking to movers, playing and attending to her son. By two the next day she had everything packed.
The next day went by slowly for House, he spent the day doing random stuff. Cameron arrived around seven that night, she was putting Alex down. House was sprawled out on the couch, when he heard a knock on the door. He paused, before getting up, looking through the peephole he spotted her. How did she find him? Another knock on the door. He limped to the window, peeking through, no cops in sight. He couldn't believe she was on his porch, but why? Only one way to find out. He sighed before cracking the door open.
"What are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too, can I come in?"
"I'm not alone." He stood up straight.
"Hooker?" She arched her eyebrow.
Cameron walked up behind him. "Who is it?"
The woman on the other side of the door, pushed at the front of the door opening it. "Cameron?"
"Cuddy!" Cameron was shocked.
To Be Continued...
