Chapter 10: Boy am I in trouble now

House limped into the elevator at 7 A.M, ready for another day for a change. After leaving Cameron's house last night, he could safely say that he was more confused with Cameron than he was before he went over there.

As he limped onto the elevator he sighed. His eyes closed as soon as the doors shut. The elevator opened and he didn't even notice. It was the smell that made him look up, bad idea.

One second, he was looking at a very angry Cameron with her hand raised. The next, he was looking at the wall after a loud slap was landed on cheek.

"Wilson made me do it! I told him not to mention your name!" House said as he shrank back from the beautiful, but angry woman.

"I can't believe you called me that House!" Cameron shouted, as she glared at the man huddled in the corner of the elevator. "And what's worse it that Hannah knew what it meant too!"

"Well, at least one of you is cool." House said, as he smirked at Cameron. Cameron was normally beautiful, but a feisty Cameron was even better. "This will make conversations with at least one of you interesting."

With that the elevator stopped and the doors opened to reveal Stacy and Wilson. Cameron looked at them both, scowled and made a bee line to the door. Leaving House to limp out of the elevator alone to face the two of them.

House limped to them and leaned towards Wilson and exhaled. "I'm sorry Wilson, I tried. But, I am afraid Cameron won't sleep with you."

"House, I'm shocked! I thought you could talk anyone into anything." Wilson said after he rolled his eyes.

"Well, what can I say; immunologists aren't as easy as lawyers." House said, "Why good morning, Stacy. I didn't see you there."

At that, Stacy rolled her eyes and huffed. "Have a nice day James." With that, she glared at House and walked down the hall to the elevators.

"Ouch House. That one won't help you in her good graces." Wilson said as he watched his friend stare into the conference room," Or is it not Stacy that is catching your interest?"

House just shrugged his shoulders and limped over to the conference room, but not before he was stopped by a frightened nurse who advised him that Cuddy wanted to see him in her office immediately.

After a few minutes, the nurse was still standing by them. "You know, standing there isn't going to force me into action. But it will help me decide what I really want to do with my cane next." House said to the nurse, who paled and ran towards the stairs.

"Wow. The things you do to women amaze me. But, what I don't understand is how you manage to keep Cameron by your side." Wilson said as he walked away. "Play nice with Cuddy now."

House took one more look in the conference room before limping towards the elevator. What fun he could have with Cuddy.

Cameron stormed into the conference room, completely ignoring Chase and Foreman. The two men looked up and then looked at each other. Foreman just smirked and looked at his paper. Chase was feeling a bit braver than his counterpart.

"Is something on your mind?" Chase asked, as he watched Cameron throw her stuff in her locker and grab her lab coat.

"Nope." Cameron replied, getting coffee and sitting next to Foreman.

Chase just looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. Eric looked at her over the rim of the paper with questioning eyes. "Something is up." Chase thought.

"Really you two, everything is fine." Cameron groaned as she leaned her head back to look out the window. "Chase, go get the mail please, I don't feel like walking down there."

With that, Chase sighed but left the conference room. That left Foreman and Cameron staring at each other. After a few minutes, Foreman put the paper down.

"Is something on your mind Cameron? Tell me the truth." Foreman said as he gave her that look. 'That look' being the look that a brother gives their little sister when they know something is up.

"I received Hannah's acceptance letters from Waldorf yesterday. School starts in 3 weeks." Cameron sighed as she rested her chin on her elbows.

"And that is a bad thing? Waldorf is one of the best high schools in the country." He said, as he looked over at her. "There is something else, right?"

"I am just stressed about the whole "school" thing. Plus, we haven't had a "talk" yet. I know that it is coming; I can see it in her eyes. Plus, with House knowing now. I just don't know." Cameron said.

"Don't worry about it. You have enough patience to deal with House and still love him." Foreman said as he gave her a pointed look, "Don't even begin to deny it either. Everything will work out, trust me."

"I just don't know Eric, sometimes he can just ... "

"Good Morning children! I just had a run in with a hot mom in the elevator, really can light my fire." House said. It delighted him to see Foreman roll his eyes and Cameron blush. "Now for the fun part, Sebastian Charles is here. Don't you all jump at once?"

The days passed quickly. The team trying to fix Dr. Charles, while House trying to get him off his back. More importantly off Cameron's back. It was news to him when Wilson came to his office and advised him that the doctor had asked out Cameron to dinner, as well as a position working with him.

That news hit House harder than he guessed it would. The thought of Cameron actually with someone didn't settle with him well. When he approached her on the matter, she pulled a 'House' and completely skirted around the fact. This brought a smile to his face as he stared at the rain.

This was where Wilson found him the day after the good doctor left, alone in his office, playing Ray Charles on his ipod.

"Do you ever notice how much it rains in this state?" House said without turned to his friend. Wilson just took a seat across from him.

"So, Dr. Charles left yesterday and without Cameron too. I am surprised." Wilson said to House, as he watched him turn around to face him.

"He probably won't realize what he has lost until he is on the plane. No, I don't think he will ever realize. Not fully." House sighed, that was not really what he wanted too say. But, it just came out instead of the barbed comment that he had ready.

Wilson's eyes widened once he heard that. He knew House cared for Cameron in a way, in his way. House is trying to let her in. "Well, if he realizes, maybe he will come back and correct his mistakes."

At that House sent a look to Wilson that put the breaks on his next statement. That same look was on his face when he had suggested to House that he was interested in Cameron, the look that promised pain.

"You went over there and she didn't kill you. In the midst of everything you have done to her, she is still by your side. She cares enough to get angry, to stand against your decisions and to be there for you." Wilson said.

"Wow Dad. I feel like you are about to talk about the birds and the bees. I so don't want to go back to that time in my life again." House said, hiding his true meaning behind sarcasm.

Wilson just rolled his eyes and got up to leave.

"Wilson." House called before he left the room, making him stop and turn around.

The words didn't come out but the feeling was there. The look in his eyes told him what he couldn't say. "Your welcome, House." He said as he left the office, the door shutting behind him.

House stayed in the office for a little while longer before packing up to go home. As he left, he looked to Cameron's desk. 'Now or never' he thought. Sighing, he limped over to the desk and wrote a quick note.
