Well, here I am again with chapter six. . . this chapter's going to be taking place during the surgery. The end if the chapter will finally tell you what happened to Jason! Or didn't happen. . . but I'm not giving anything away. I'm not even sure yet.
Chapter SIX
Chase panted as he ran up the stairs to the third floor. He knew he could've been using the elevator but he didn't feel like waiting for it. He had been to the first and second floor bathrooms and done what he needed to get done. Finding the third floor door, he opened it, panting, and proceeded to the nearest doctor.
The doctor's back was to Chase and it looked oddly familiar. Chase tapped the shoulder and Chase found himself face to face with House. House had gotten bored sitting in his office and there was nothing good on television so he decided to go for a walk.
"so, what are you up to good doctor?" House leaned on his cane.
"licking bathroom doorknobs, flush handles, and stall doors." Chase answered truthfully.
"Uh ah. I see. . . I'll just let you carry on then. . . licking." House watched as Chase walked away. He shook his head and decided to follow Chase just to make sure that he wasn't lying.
House watched as Chase entered the bathroom and sighed. There had to be reason for this, I mean, not many people just go around licking bathroom objects. Highly germ infested bathroom objects. Walking in, House was waiting to see Chase on his knees licking things but instead heard the sound of someone trying to throw up.
"Sick already? That was quick." House waited for a response, which took longer than he thought.
"I. . . just realized. . . what I . . . did." Chase panted, exhausted already from trying to force himself to throw up. "And. . . it's really . . . gross. Have to. . . get it out. . . of my system." Chase put no hesitation in trying again, this time making an awful noise while doing so.
"Well," House began to talk in between the retching noises. "If you do throw up, you do know there is a chance the germs won't leave. Build themselves a comfortable home in you." House walked out, the sound of someone else trying to make themselves sick making him nauseous in return.
Chase heard House leave but didn't bother in getting up to say good-bye. Glad that Cameron wasn't around, Chase tried once more, unsuccessfully, before leaning back and giving a deep sigh. It wasn't working and he needed to get whatever germ it out of his system. Not feeling like walking around everywhere to find something to make him throw up, he leaned over the toilet and tried again.
This was going to be a long night.

Despite what she did, Rachel had come during the last hour. She was waiting outside to hear the news. Cameron had walked out into the waiting room as well, not being able to watch anymore. Wilson had understood and let her go. He, on the other hand, was not allowed to leave.
Rachel saw Cameron come out and tried looking away. She didn't want any confrontation at the moment. But Cameron moved up next to Rachel and at down, giving Rachel no choice but to look at Cameron.
"Is he doing okay?" Rachel asked.
"As far as I know." Cameron responded. They're conversation was like a blast of icy air on an already freezing day. It wasn't very comforting. "That was a great time to divorce him." The sarcasm so obvious and harsh in Cameron's voice it almost hurt Rachel's ears.
"I just wanted to get it done. He lied to me. To his, what I thought, only daughter."
"Did you give him a choice? Did you show him that whatever he did or told you, you would still love him?"
"I don't know. Now that I think about it, I suppose it is partly my fault." Rachel looked to the floor. Cameron had a comeback ready but that wasn't the answer she was expecting to get. Maybe this woman isn't as cold hearted as she thought.
"I'm sorry I was mean to you." Cameron heard herself say.
"That's okay." There was a pause. "He loves you, you know." Rachel looked up at Cameron again. Cameron was startled.
"What?"
"And it really hurts because I was sitting here thinking about him and what was happening. And. . . I still love him. Very much. Jessica still loves him. But he's found someone else. I hope. . ." Rachel was about to say, but stopped short as both women saw Wilson walking out. Knowing that he wouldn't leave for any other reason Cameron knew it was over.
They both went to stand up, but Wilson motioned for them to stay seated. House turned the corner and watched Wilson's lips but he was never good at lip reading. Wilson stopped talking and Rachel stood. She asked Wilson something. Wilson answered and Rachel hugged him. House couldn't tell if she was crying or not.
House turned his direction to Cameron who was still sitting in her chair. He just shook his head and walked away before she noticed him. Cameron sat in the chair, thinking hard. She couldn't believe it. He actually. . . but her thoughts were interrupted by Rachel. Cameron stood up.
"Thank you for being there for him. It helped him a get through this a great deal. I should call the baby sitter and tell her the news. She should probably bring Jessica over." Cameron could see tears falling down Rachel's pail cheeks.
"You want to go in and see him?" Wilson asked but Cameron shook her head and ran off to find Chase. She had to tell him what happened.
