So, I know it's been a wile, but school has been crazy. And I get distracted by twitter and forget things easily.

I still don't own [H]ouse or any of the characters, believe me I would LOVE to! Enjoy!

Chapter 5: Crash

Why does she seem so weird today? Chase thought to himself as he unlocked the door to let them into his apartment. Remy sat down on his couch quietly as he went to get them drinks. They had spent the day together; after they got breakfast they walked around the park together and then grabbed a late lunch. After that they had headed back to Chase's apartment.

"Here you go." Chase said handing Remy a beer as he sat down next to him.

"Thanks…" She muttered. She looked deep in thought. Chase studied her face. He noticed her beauty was not harmed by the look of worry and concentration on her face.

"What's wrong?" He asked and put his arm around her.

"Nothing…just tired, I guess" Remy shrugged.

"How can you be tired? We slept for a while last night." Chase joked.

"I don't know." She sighed. "Just need some energy." Remy said staring at her hands in her lap.

"Well I can think of something to get your blood pumping…" Chase pulled her head up and placed a kiss on her lips. Remy kissed him back slowly but was focusing her attention somewhere else. Chase could tell she wasn't getting into it; he slowly pulled away from her. "You sure you're okay? You seem weird…" Chase asked her concerned. Remy sighed.

"No, I'm not…" Remy looked away from Chase and swallowed back some tears that were already starting for form.

"Remy…talk to me baby, I can help you how ever I can." Chase took her hand in his. Remy continued to look away, she was thinking, trying to organize her thoughts…she just wanted to say something.

"Chase I'm going to die." She blurted before she could stop herself.

"We're all going to die someday- Oh." Chase caught on to what she meant. He knew that she had been diagnosed with Huntington's chorea, she probably only has about eight years left. Remy continued looking down at her hands.

"And I was wondering, if you'd want to be with me, like forever…" Remy said with tears threatening to spill. Chase sat there and thought. She's right, I do. I thought I was sure about Allison, but this is something different, something new. Chase smiled.

"Yes, Remy. I do." He pulled her face up to look in her eyes. He noticed they were filled with worry and hurt. "Remy, I don't understand…" She looked away from him, biting her lip.

"Chase……..I can't…..be with you…….." Remy finally managed to choke out. Remy felt a single tear slip down her cheek and she quickly wipes it away. Chase just stared at her. He was shocked. He was confused, and hurt and he didn't believe her.

"Bu-But….Remy…why?" Chase was numb and confused.

"I'm not right for you Chase." Remy found herself lying so that it would be easier for both of them.

"Remy, you are you really are…we love each other remember?" Chase was almost pleading. What Remy was about to do was going to be the hardest thing she has ever done. Her heart was pounding. She was going to tell her biggest lie ever.

"I don't love you." Remy said as firmly as she could, she felt her heart rip in two as she looked at the expression on Chase's face.

"Remy….you said you did last night…what's changed?" Chase asked, he was confused and hurt. He didn't want this happening to him again. Remy forced herself to look in his eyes.

"Nothing changed. I was drunk last night, I didn't know what I was saying." Remy had to look away to wipe yet another tear away.

"Then why are you with me? These past few months have been wonderful. I thought you felt the same." Chase just wanted an explanation.

"I was using you. You helped forget. I liked forgetting. You were healthier than drugs and liquor and random unprotected sex. I let this go on for way to long. I'm sorry Chase. I'm going to leave know." Remy had pulled this lie out of thin air. She knew that each word had hurt him as much as it hurt her. She had to do it this way so he wouldn't come after her, and try to get back with her. Remy gathered her coat and shoes and headed to the door. She stole one last glance at the man she loved, she saw him just staring at his hands. She looked away and went out of the building and into her car. Remy could feel herself breaking down. She couldn't hold the tears back any longer. She just hurt the man she loved so she wouldn't hurt him much more when she was gone. Remy leaned her forehead on the steering wheel and started sobbing.
