Part 7

Around 3am Cameron started to toss and turn in her sleep, restless, incoherent to anything around her seemly this wasn't a regular dream.

She isn't at House's place no longer, this time she is back at her apartment reading when she hears sounds.

The masked intruder ties her up against the bed mumbling something in a tone she cant describe.

"You'll pay, you will"

She wants to scream but cant her voice is silenced nothing will come out no matter how much she tries.

The floor trembles because the panels in the wood isn't that stable, she always forgot to tell the landlord about that.

Pacing back and forth like waiting for something, she could only wish he would leave her alone.

"Cameron Cameron ill get you for what you did, I'm going to make sure you never forget about me.. NEVER you hear"

He laughs but not in a normal way, but evil cackling in his voice it scares her to death because she cant figure out why he whoever he was hate her so much.

Stripping her clothes off her body she hears him moan as he lands on top of her , while she squirms trying to get the smell of her.

Although no matter how much she tries, she cannot stop him if she wasn't tied up then maybe she would stand a chance but this way she is helpless, vulnerable unable to do anything but block out the pain and dirt , to go to a happy place..

House… she thinks back their argument, even with their tension that was better than what she was enduring here.

Later as he finishes he tears off her gag giving her a chance to speak.

He was so superior so confident, cocky and self centered and he knew it but didn't care.

"Was that how you like it babe?"

That tone the roughness in his voice the arrogance made her sick to her stomach.

She knew he was enjoying every second of this, torturing her and knowing that she had no say in it.

You Filthy, disgusting bastard… how I like it right?.. THIS is how I like it" She announced and released one hand that was a little looser than the other and hit him right in the mouth.

"BITCH.. That's it you asked for it"

In return he smacked her across the face, making blood drip from the edge of her lip while tightening her wrists once again to make sure THIS time she wont get free.

"Get the hell off me and put those sick hands somewhere else" She spat out of her mouth.

"GET OUT, GET THE HELL OFF ME YOU BASTARD"

House wakes up to the sound of Cameron screaming and thrashing around in the bed like a maniac.

"Cameron, wake up"

He tried to shake her once but that does no good, so attempt number 2.

"Cameron… Allison, Please wake up"

This time House is in hysterics having took her into his arms shaking her time after time but to no avail unable to think of anything else to get to her to come out of whatever was going on in her nightmare.

"AHHHHHHH, GET OFF ME, GET OFF ME"

All of a sudden her body jumps up shaking and shivering at once.

"Cameron , Oh my God Its me House.."

Her lips are blue, face all pale like she had seen a ghost or had been sea sick or something.

She looks around at her surroundings at first unable to recognize where she was or why.

"House?"

This was more of a confusing question for her like trying to comprehend that he was really there.

Was this a dream?.

"Help me, get him off me.. Please"

She begs him, tears streaming down her cheeks .

"Save me, will you?.."

He is confused for a moment before finally figuring out that her mind is still stuck in her nightmare but he has to convince her it wasn't real, that she is here with him and that she is safe.

"Cameron, please look at me"

Grabbing her face to look directly up at him, hoping this works.

"You had a nightmare but your safe with me okay? I'm going to protect you I wont let anything or anyone else hurt you do you hear me?"

Her face is expressionless but the nod of her head was a sign that he was starting to get through to her so with that he continued.

"You scared me, please don't do that again will you otherwise I'll have to bring out my cane, I know you like that"

Trying to put in a joke to make her laugh, smile or some sort of positive feedback but it doesn't bring what he was after.

"Okay, well if I knew my jokes were that bad"

She starts crying and he isn't sure why but he knew he had to get her talking about her nightmare.

"Hey, tell me what happened. In your nightmare, I think it will help if you talked about it."

There was a long pause before she responds as if she was trying to find her voice to say something.

"Oh god, I am so sorry"

House shakes his head , kissing her tears.

"Its not your fault, you have no need to be sorry"

He pushes stands of hair out of her eyes and sees the horrid and scared look in her eyes. He wishes that he could protect her from everything but knew that was not possible and hated it when she is in this state.

She clears her throat while wiping the tears from her eyes.

"I…umm it happened. The attack. He was so cruel laughing and tormenting me just because he could and even though I don't know who it is I will not forget the way he said my name."

Kneeling on the bed and needing comfort she wraps her arms around him, needing safety and warmth.

He holds her tight around her waist to make sure she knew he was there and wasn't leaving her.

"Go on"

He encouraged her while putting his hands through her long hair as he smells her aroma.

"It was the worst thing in my life..um..my mind is so mixed up I don't know what is what"

He understood the pressure she was under and didn't trying to push her because he knew that was the worst thing he could do.

"Its okay"

Although opposite to what he expected she insisted on going ahead and trying to remember the details.

"No, its not.. I can do this, just have to focus…I hit him in the mouth but he retaliated with the exact same thing.

I had never been hit in my life and I never want to again"

This time she was mad rather than sad or depressed.

"You know what he said after he….did me?"

She asked him, with anger in her eyes.

"Was that how you like it?"

Can you believe that asshole the nerve, what the hell did he expect me to say… oh yes, do it again… hold me down, tear me apart… it turns me on., yeah right "

He didn't know what to say to her, he cant imagine what she was going through and he never would.

His heart was breaking for her, he felt so many things most of all anger that he couldn't do anything he felt so helpless.

HA, helpless and Cripple sound almost the same.

"Look at me"

Pulling her backwards so that they were face to face, Cameron now saw his eyes and knew from that moment that he would do anything for her.

"I'm going to help you get through this okay? And you will because I have faith in you I know you can and I'm going to be with you all the way like I promised and I never step out on promises."

She saw the truth in his clear blue eyes.

"Oh, Thank you I really don't know what I would do without you"

She replied meaning everything she says.

"And I cant imagine my life without you in it"

There was no more tears.

"Me neither"

Before they knew it they had fallen asleep in each others arms content, her head was perfectly laid out on his chest hearing his heart beating profoundly.

The following morning the sun shines through the window brightening up the room making things much clearer than the night before.

House is now awake because of a familiar screaming pain in his leg.

"Great"

He moans before reaching for his pills on the nightstand popping a few into his mouth then putting the bottle back , he looks down and sees Cameron still asleep.

Thank god she had no more nightmares after that one during the night, he knew she had a long road ahead of her before she would be fully recovered.

Trying not to wake her he slowly attempts to slide out of bed but then caught when he feels someone reach for his hand.

"Morning, leaving me already?"

She smiles as she tries to get him back in bed.

"Yep things you got to deal with when taking on the job of becoming a doctor"

Cant help but let out a laugh and giving her a kiss on the lips.

"Mm, I think I need medication, care to provide it?"

More of a statement then a question or what it seemed to him, he didn't have the chance to reply before she pulled him back down sliding her tongue into his mouth.

He moans trying to control his hormones.

"God, this is not good"

He pulls away , trying to avert his attention to something else.

He knew this cannot happen as much as he wanted it to, he just couldn't let it for a lot of reasons.

"Yes its good.."

House smirks and groans seeing the look on her face.

Damnit, god help me .

"Cameron, we cant do this… not yet , Work wont wait trust me ill tried just ask Cuddy she is like a man woman he boss from hell. and I seriously wonder sometimes.. Hmm exchange, you never know"

Smiling at his banter and at his attempt to change the subject, so she reluctantly let him take a shower.

"Sure you don't want me to come scrub your back"

She gives him a look that makes him weak just at the thought made him all funny.

Fantasizing is not good, especially when the object of that fantasy is in the same room.

"Cammmeron"

He raises his eyebrow staring at her before taking off for the bathroom leaving Cameron laying on the bed.

It was half noon and House was trying to avoid the gang especially Cuddy because he didn't want to have to go through the question and answer thing that she likes to do.

Especially when it came to Cameron everyone wanted to know the 911 for everything that was going on.

Just wait till Wilson finds out if she hasn't told him already.

He could just see their faces when they find out Cameron's living situation and he really didn't want to tell them the story.

Just facts, stick to the facts.

"Hiding? And no let me guess, you did something and Cuddy is after you"

Speaking of the devil, James Wilson peaks into the room of exam room 2 apparently looking for him.

"Not in such, just don't want to deal with the wrath of talking to people"

He comments sarcastically giving a face although he knew that he would have to tell him the real reason.

He just looked at House as he knew there had to be more to it.

"I'm surprised she hasn't told you, I figured it would be all over the hospital by now"

Taking out his Game Boy he begins to play a usual routine he has something to keep him occupied from being too bored during the day.

" No?. Cant have been that bad, I haven't heard any new rumors about you today .. Well not from the usual ones"

House sighed putting the game boy down on the table, looking up at his friend, his confidant .

" Hah funny, okay well you'll find out sooner or later. I.uhh ..Cameron is staying with me from now on"

Almost didn't get that out, watching his face for a reaction.

"Excuse me?. she's staying with you?. Are you sure that is a wise decision based on your feelings for her."

He rolled his eyes at his friend regretting that one weak moment when he had admitted his feelings for Cameron although he was hoping Wilson had forgotten that conversation.

"Well she cant cope by herself as yet and I can control myself but the real question is, can SHE?"

Cracking a smirk, he winked at him.

" I think its good that your beginning to show some emotion toward her"

For the first time during the conversation, House become serious Wilson never thought it was possible.

"To tell you the truth Ever since that day when she was brought in, it made me think about the possibility that she may not have been here today and that thought scares me to death more than you could ever know."

He took a breath while Wilson took a seat next to him, listening intently to his friend.

"I cant explain it, sure when Stacy left I hated her she was a lot to me but this is different with Cameron I'm not sure if I can put it into words but when I could have lost her, a part of me felt like was lost as well"

House stands up and paces the room before leaning back on the door.

"Wow, Greg I hate to tell you tell because I'm not sure how your going to handle it.. But I think your in love . I always knew there was something strong between you two because you have always treated her different than the others, sometimes bad and sometimes good but its always different"

They sat in silence for what seemed like forever when in realty it probably was just a few minutes.

"Okay, enough of this seriousness otherwise I'm going to throw up so sickening"

Wilson laughed, figuring a comment like that had to come sooner or later as he wasn't the type to stay in a conversation like that for too long.

"So, how she doing?"

There was a lot he told Wilson but last night it wasn't his place to tell and I don't think she would want him to either.

"Well, its hard for her she is improving physically but emotionally she isn't doing very good but she has me, I think I'm the only one she trusts."

He nodded realizing that Cameron is definitely changing House weather he likes to admit it or not.

"Okay, well better get back to work… you two otherwise Cuddy will be looking to have your head"

Hey both walked out of the room, heading in separate directions House towards the Diagnostics Department and Wilson to Oncology.
