AN/ I am sorry about the grammar and I will try and fix it and go slower. I would ask a beta reader except I am not sure I would be able to work with on because when I come on her it is to write my story for whatever amount of time I have and then I gotta get off. I am getting to be very busy and I am now writing chapter 15 and I will probably end it by 16 or 17 and then I will post it all at once. I am excited because this will be my first finished story and that was my goal with this one I made myself a promise that I would finish it and I am going to. So again thank you all for reading and reviewing. I hope you like this next chapter but the next is going to be a really good one:)
Flash Back!!!
"Tritter I need a favor." House heard himself in desperation as he saw Tritter walking curiously to him with a small smile on his face.
"This has to be good." he said with a tooth pick in his mouth
"You hear about Dr. Cameron?" House asked trying to keep his cool. Hoping he could get what he wanted.
"Yes, and I am looking for him." he said and House could tell he was a reasonable guy when it came to domestic abuse. So House decided to take the action he had hoped for.
"Lunch?" House asked as he saw Tritter look back at the other officers.
"I'll be back guys." he said following House out of the building.
End flash back
House knew from that moment he owed Tritter a lot but it was worth it and he would never forget what he did. He wish he could have killed the son of a bitch because he knew he would be out in no time and Cameron would have to always wonder if he is watching and that was a pain House hated and quickly shook it from him. He turned down his street and parked his car and noticed the curtains in the front of his apartment was drawn and he saw Cameron sitting at his piano and he felt his heart burst with something he had not known for awhile.
"House, what happened?" Cameron asked as he walked through the door as Wilson stood up and looked at his best friend.
"Nothing." House said taking his coat off as Cameron's face harden
"You can't say nothing..." she said and for some reason that hit a note in House and he snapped back
"You did." and it was like something hit her across the face
"House you better back off." Wilson said stepping up and House sighed
"Dominick is in custody." he said walking to the mirror in the hallway checking his now swollen eye which was turning purple.
"House what did you do?" she asked as she felt her heart race.
"Nothing he didn't deserve." he said facing her and she didn't know what she was feeling. She was hurt, scared, angry and proud but in the end anger won over.
"You have no right in what you did. I know he didn't just get a cut and a black eye." she said and didn't know why she was defending him.
"no he got a lot worse but he deserved it and he had no right to leave you broken and bloody." he said walking off to the bathroom with Wilson in tow.
" You got him good right?" Wilson asked as he joined House in the bathroom and House gave a satisfied smile and he then filled him in about how Tritter came through for him.
"I would have never thought Tritter to help you." he said leaning over and taking a glimpse.
"You are going to need a couple of stitches." Wilson said and House shook his head.
"He did it for her not me." he said looking back into the mirror.
"I will be fine it is not that deep." he said taking some gauze down and he saw Wilson thinking.
"I know, she got worse." House said pointing out the door and
Wilson sighed as he left. "I know"
Cameron was now sitting by the window lost in thought when she saw Wilson emerge from the bathroom looking sad and heading to his coat.
"Go easy on him, he has your best interest at heart." Wilson said walking over to her.
"I know I have so many different feelings going on and it scares me." she said and he rested his hand on her shoulder gently, he knew she was still in a lot of pain.
"He will listen give him a chance." Wilson as an odd expression came on her face
"House, listen to me?" she asked with a sarcastic laugh
"Yes, he cares a lot about you Allison." he said and he left.
"He cares a lot about you." is all that went through her head as her gaze followed Wilson out to the street, why would he say that? I know he cares a lot about me but the way Wilson said it, could it mean more? she asked herself. No, House has made it clear he was not interested and she was not going down that path again. She sat by the window for awhile as she saw the rain start to drip and her heart sank with sadness as she crossed her arms and felt the stone that would have been her happiness. She pulled it out and looked at it for a moment when her phone rang.
" Maddie?" she asked as she opened her phone
"Hey, how is that hand and leg healing?" Maddie asked in a chipper voice
"good and they just caught him tonight to." Cameron said trying to keep the emotion out of her voice.
" I know it must be hard and I wish I could be there for you Hun." Madison said and Cameron felt a tear run from her eye.
"I wish you could to but soon right?" she asked her little sister.
"That is why I am calling I am thinking about coming out sooner but was wondering if the apartment was coming along okay" she said with hope in her voice.
"I will be setting up next week, how much sooner will you be able to get here?" she asked excited as she saw House standing in the hall.
"Ummm, by the end of next week if the next two days go as planed." she said
"I can't wait." Cameron said with a smile
"How is House? Is he treating you okay?" she asked her voice getting serious and Cameron saw him walk into the kitchen.
"He has been very nice but when they caught Dominick tonight I guess he went down and kicked his ass." Cameron said in a lower tone
"Good he should have killed him. I now look at him in a different way, when is the arraignment?" Madison asked
"He will see the judge tomorrow I guess." she said with a bit of sadness in her voice
"Oh Allie, I wish I could be there and I hope you can heal soon I know how hard this must be for you. Are you going to go to the arraignment?"
"Me go to his arraignment? Why?" she asked in a louder voice then she wanted to
"Because you are going." House shouted from the kitchen and Cameron was shocked.
"Maddie let me call you back tomorrow and let me know when you will be coming." she said hanging up.
"What do you mean I am going?" she asked trying to wheel herself in the kitchen.
"What I just said, but I will spell it out Y-O-U A-R-E G-O-I-N-G." House spelled it out as Cameron sat there dumb fonded
"No I am not." she said raising her eye brows
"You have no choice you can't walk so I can put you in the car no problem." he said widening his eyes.
"You have one good leg and I am a pretty good fighter." she said crossing her arms
"But I have a sedative" he said walking away
"You wouldn't." she said with a sly smile
"But I would"
She rolled her eyes and scooted herself in the kitchen along with him as he made a snack and she watched him and knew he did really care for her and she had always cared about him no matter how stubborn he was.
"You wanna sandwich?" he asked her and she gave him a small smile and nodded.
"I am scared House." she said as he made her sandwich and sat down at the table next to her.
"It's natural to be scared but you know he can't hurt you." he said taking a bite of her sandwich
"I know and it is not that, I still care for him and feel bad he is going to go to jail because I turned him in." she said poking at her food once again.
"He should go to Jail and it is good you turned him in because he needs someone to set him right ,hopefully someone will beat the shit out of him in there." House said looking at Cameron
"You already beat the shit out of him, plus he might not get anytime and it is my fault if not." she said ans she saw House get a little angry
"Listen to me Allison it is not your fault and don't say that again that is how victims become victims again." he said standing up .
"I'll see you in the morning." he said and walked off as she sat in a half lit kitchen.
She opened her eyes slowly she heard House yelling for her to get up and to get dressed for court and wear a skirt so they can see the cast but as Cameron undressed she saw the many cuts and fading bruises on her and closed her eyes knowing most of her wounds was going to be scares. Who would want her? Her body was now ugly and she could see she had lost weight because her ribs where protruding more and noted she had to eat more as she dressed.
"Come on or we will miss it." he said as she came out of her room.
"Good you look nice." he said staring she had put on a white fitted shirt with a knee length skirt but since she was sitting it rose to her thighs and she had her hair pinned back with very light make up on.
The drive to the courtroom was much shorter then she had hoped but knew it would be she had got barely any sleep that night and was dreading see him but they enter the courtroom and took their seat as they brought him in she tense as he looked at her and she took a hold of House's hand and held it tightly. She saw that both of Dominick's eyes where swollen and he had what appeared to be a wired mouth and she looked to House who had a small smile on his face.
"You broke his jaw?" she whispered to him in shock
"Shhhh... and some ribs." he said his smile getting bigger not taking his eyes off of him and the hearing started.
She notice he kept looking back at her and she could not find the nerve to look at him but she could feel the whole borrowing into her head. She griped Houses hand hard when she heard the judge release him on his own recognise but had to stay 1,000 feet away from her. House started to rise when Cameron jerked him down.
"Don't go to jail for something so small." she said as the judge walked out.
"But it is not small, he beat you." House said still holding her hand and she saw for the first time the sadness it caused him and she felt bad that she had caused it.
"I am sorry House." she said as he sat back down and was about to say something when the attorney turned around to them
"It was not what I wanted but it was expected he has no prior arrest or warrants , we are going to have to fight hard or he may get off, But I will do more checking around and dig deep." she said packing her stuff as House stood up.
"When is the next hearing?" House asked as Cameron saw Dominick wink at her as they lead him out
"I am not sure when, maybe a month, but I will have something more by then." she said wishing them luck and said she would keep in touch.
"Oh and by the way nice handy work but you might want to be careful it could hurt your case." she said as she left the courtroom
"Don't think so." House said reassuringly as he wheeled Cameron out.
"Well to work we go." he said as he rolled her out to the car.
"Am I still on clinic duty?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"Of course you really didn't expect me to do it now did you?" he asked in a sarcastic tone and she smiled to herself.
"Wouldn't hear of it." she said with a small laugh but she could not hide the worry in her face and House knew she was but he was going to make sure she was safe along with her family if it was the last thing he did.
