Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the storyline. If I owned House, would I be sat here writing this fan fic?

This is a sequel to You Found Me. You Brought Me To Life. If you haven't read it, you probably wont understand this one ok? So go read the first one first!

Chapter Eight

They sat in the car in silence; House was driving and kept glancing at Cameron unsure of what was going on inside her head. She looked so small against the leather of his car, her tiny frame contrasting with the big luscious leather of the seat. She had her back to him one hand resting on her knee the other holding her chin resting on the window ledge. Her eyes were fixed on the window, looking at the scenery, he was sure she hadn't blinked in over two minutes. He reached out to turn the radio up, but she assumed he was reaching for her hand and flinched away from him. House pretended not to notice and carried on turning up the radio as before.

Cameron gently closed her eyes; the radio had begun playing a song that had haunted her past. She felt more tears fill her eyes, she had been sure that she had dried up and was unable to cry anymore obviously she was wrong.

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall, the major lift
the baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

A tear slipped from her closed eyes and she quickly brought up her own hand to wipe it away.

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Softly she began to hum along with the song, her eyes still shut, it was a low noise, deep from her throat.

Baby I've been here before, I know this room
I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah

She knew he was startled by her humming, she had felt his head turn to look at her. She didn't care, she wanted to be lost, lost in the music, she wanted to just seep into it, and forget about everything else.

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah

By now she was singing along with the song, her voice, unlike her speaking voice was low and husky, clouded with pain. As the song reached the climax her voice began to break, cracking under the weight of all her pain. She flung her arm out and snapped the radio off. She couldn't handle this, she couldn't take anymore of this pain, she wished she could turn back time and change what had happened. Thankfully House didn't say anything to her sudden action, he simply carried on driving, ensuring they spent the remainder of the journey in silence.

Pulling up in front of House's home they climbed out of the car. They didn't say anything as they made their way up the steps, she was grateful that he hadn't pushed for details, but as he opened the door to his home she found she couldn't step over the threshold. All this pain had begun ever since things had happened with House, she knew she couldn't blame him for her pain but it still made it hard for her. How come with so much happiness in her life she is also burdened with so much sorrow.

He turned and looked back at her, she stared at him, and as he stepped forward she stepped back. He gazed at her inquisitively, the wind was blowing her hair in front of her and she folded her arms around her keeping her coat pulled around her. He spoke softly not wanting to scare her, she looked like a frightened animal ready to flee, he reached out his hand slowly.

"Alison?" Her eyes flitted from his cane to his hand then to his eyes quickly, he was surprised to find himself nervous, he didn't know what she would do and it scared him. Swallowing he repeated himself. "Alison, come on."

His voice was soft, trying to coax her into the house, she knew it was what deep down she wanted and she knew that he wanted it too but she couldn't do it. If she entered his home, she would be with him and that made her happy, but after happiness sorrow always followed her, and she couldn't handle anymore. There was no reply from her just an icy stare, he found himself using his work voice on her. A sharp powerful tone so she knew he was the boss. "Cameron!"

He had snapped, he hadn't meant to, he was just scared and had lost it. He had called her by her last name as well, a last ditch attempt at trying to get her to snap out of the trance she was trapped in. Her eyes glistened with tears and she stepped back once more, he feared the tears were going to spill but they didn't. She looked at him her face dark and shook her head slowly. She knew this was hurting him, it was hurting her but to be with him caused her heartache somewhere along the line, and at this moment all he did was remind her of the baby she lost and the pain she had endured, she had to do it.

"I'm so sorry." She took another step back and he stepped forward straining to hear her mutterings. "Sorry." She said it once more and he realised she was going to bolt, he stepped forward once more to stop her but it was too late she had gone.

He made it to his doorway and from there he could see her running down the street, her hair flying out behind her, her coat billowing like a cloak. He thumped the doorframe and shouted.

"Cameron!"

She didn't turn around, she didn't stop, and pretty soon she was gone, he looked around people were staring at him confused as to what had just happened. He snarled but didn't say anything to them just turned and walked into his house shutting the door behind him.
