House sat on his sofa, a bottle of beer in one hand and the remote in the other, dull voices from General Hospital penetrated his thoughts, "We don't have much time to getout of here."


"You know what, Faith? You've been stabbed twice. You're in no condition to go anywhere but to the hospital"

House wasn't really listening to it, he was more concerned with his conversation with Stacy earlier, and did he really still love her? The sharp pain that shot through her leg seemed to answer that for him, he opened his vicodin and sighed grateful for when heard the door knock.

He opened it, trying not to trip over the enormous amounts of medical text book, CDs and DVDs that littered his apartment. Cameron looking at him, wearing a knee length pencil skirt with a smart blouse, her hair was pulled back and her glasses were on, she was pulling off the nerdy chick look and he was momentarily taken aback, why was he always like this when he saw her?

They never spoke as she entered the room, the tension too much for them both. He went to the fridge and pulled out a beer, he went to hand it to her, but turned around and decided to pour it into a glass.

Walking out he saw that she was looking around at the bomb site that was his apartment; he just never had the time or the energy to clean up.

"Thanks," she whispered, as he handed her the glass and she sat down leaning forward cradling the glass in her hands, and he noticed how tired she looked but they hadn't had any cases so what was wearing her down?

"You're tired." He said.

"How did you ever guess?" She snapped, and House was surprised at her tone but it soon softened, "I'm sorry, it's been a very odd day." He grunted sitting down next to her taking a swig from his bottle of beer. "Do you really like this program?" She asked indicating General Hospital and he nodded, "How can you not?" He asked as if she was man but they both knew they were avoiding the real conversation, but for once House didn't want to discuss the truth.

"You saw me didn't you? At the elevator." He said suddenly and Cameron choked on her beer, surprised at how forthcoming he was "Yes."

"Did you hear what she said?" He asked.
"Yes."
"And?"

She looked at him a confused expression on her face, "And what? She said she was in love with you, which isn't that big of a shock to be honest. What did you say?"

"I said I didn't love her any more." He took a swig of beer.

"Is that true?"

"Why would I lie?" He asked and she smiled, but it was cold.

"Everybody lies," She said repeating what he said so often to them all and suddenly he leaned in and kissed her roughly, knowing she had spilt a bit of her beer on his couch but not really caring.

They pulled apart and Cameron was breathing hard. "I never lie." He said again and her smile this time was kind and genuine as she took another sip of her beer, leaning back on the couch and grabbing the remote quickly before he had a chance to grab it. The conversation was now forgotten between them, she believed him; after all if he had any feelings left for Stacy he had missed the perfect opportunity, and this was all the proof she needed.

"General Hospital." House whined trying to get the remote from her but Cameron shook her head holding her arm out straight so he couldn't reach it, flicking through the channels, choosing a channel after while that made even House smile, "Monster truck races." She said putting the remote back on the sofa, the sounds of roaring engines filled the apartment.

They sat there in silence for a few moments, watching the carnage and mayhem on TV, he put an arm around her after while, and she was shocked by this sudden show of affection. "This has been an odd day, even for me." He said and she giggled,

"I know what you mean, I got so many stares, and I can't tell if the nurses are jealous or are giving me pity."

"Pity?" House asked, and Cameron nodded resting a hand on his leg and it tingled under the pressure of her hand.

"You've got a very distinct reputation Doctor House."

"I thought it was about how fluffy and sweet I am." Cameron laughed out loud, and the sounds caused House's heart to flutter, dammit I'm getting soft. He finished his beer and raised an eyebrow at her. "That's just plain mean, you just ask Cuddy and she'll tell you how lovely I am."
Cameron just shook her head.

Yay, they made it through the first hurdle, but can they keep it going? I'm planning on bringing in a new character soon, maybe to spice things up abit.
