The Show

By Lenka

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

Slow it down, make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause its to much, yeah its a lot
To be something I'm not

I'm a fool, out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know, I've got to let it go

And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky
Just like a giant spot light
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time

It's a joke, nobody knows
they've got a ticket to the
show.

Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know, I've got to let it go

And just enjoy the show

Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know, I've got to let it go

And just enjoy the show

The next morning had Cameron puzzled. He had been almost pleasant to her. Was a little awkward at first, but after a couple beers and a few slices, they kept conversation to recent cases and he had blissfully not asked further about her distress. When he dropped her off at her apartment she had smiled at him and he even smiled back. Their goodnight was short and she went into her apartment in disbelief.

Thus was the current state of affairs for her as well, trying to pour over patients' charts at her desk, sucking down a frozen coffee. She eyed the matching drink sitting on her desk, debating whether she really wanted to go to his office and give it to him. She didn't know what to make of him sometimes, and instantly groaned at the warm twinge she felt in her stomach at his smile.

This was NOT what she needed right now.

House would always be House. She would probably always love him for it too.

She sighed heavily and grabbed the coffee before getting up and walking towards the Lion's den.

House sat at his desk, bouncing his ball against the wall in thought with his right hand while conducting the orchestra blaring through his speakers with his left.

He had been nice to her. Not overly nice, but not overly caustic either. He hadn't really known how to behave and picked a middle ground. Something told him she didn't need his razor edge sarcasm last night, and he surprisingly found himself not wanting to give it. With her it was always puzzling. She wasn't like normal women. It unnerved him that he willingly went out of his way to not be himself to make her feel better.

"Well Good morning maestro." Said the object of his thoughts through his doorway.

She practically pranced to his desk to place the coffee upon it.

She quirked her head a moment to listen.

"Rachmaninoff?"

He nodded before pausing it. He picked up the coffee and sipped.

She bit her lip nervously.

"Listen um..I just wanted to say thanks for last night. I appreciated the company, and the obvious attempt at niceness…" she said with a smile.

"Momentary loss of rationality on my part, don't expect any repeats."

She smiled wider.

"I also wanted to say.." she took in a deep breath.

"I broke Chase's driver side windows."

He almost choked on his coffee.

He coughed a bit before replying, "you broke the Wombat's windows?"

She nodded.

"Well that was unexpected."

"Yup caught him sleeping with someone else and I just let it out on his car."

"Next time use a bat and break them all, maybe even the headlights." He said smirking.

"Well, there won't be a next time because I broke up with him yesterday too."

She sat in the chair by his desk and picked his ball up from where he had laid it down.

"He left just before you came in yesterday."

"Ah so the waterworks weren't about doing my mail."

"Nope, afraid not."

"Well, and here I was going to exempt you from ever doing it again. Ha, here you go." He tossed some letters at her.

"Hey!"

"is for horses. Listen um, Wilson and I are going to have lunch together today.."

"When do you not?"she asked playfully.

He gave her a look before continuing.

"You should eat with us..we could scheme to get the little Wombat."

"Right like 10 year olds??

"no….like bored, love to screw with other people…people."

She rolled her eyes.

"I can't. I'm having lunch with my friend Rose today. But we will raincheck this revenge session for another time. Have a good day House." She then got up and strolled out of the office.

He watched her leave for a moment before walking out to go to Wilson's office.
