Ok. I'm not going to lie. taking a 6 month break from writing, than coming back with a crappy chapter isn't nice of me. I apologize. here's a little memory refresher from previous chapters:
House (currently in mayfield psychiatric) was given a choice by amber to either have Cuddy or no leg pain. before answering, he begins seizing.
Cuddy and wilson are worried sick about House until realizing that he is being admitted to the hospital. after finding out about the seizure, Cuddy panics. without anyone else knowing, she goes to House's apartment to pick up some things- basic necessities along with 2 mystery items that will be revealed (or not) in later chapters.
while this is going on, Chase and Cameron have a big secret for Cuddy that Cameron is nervous about telling. Chase also questions Cameron's idea of "caring" about House.
Wilson frantically searches for Cuddy. as he comes across chase and cameron, he tells them that only he and Cuddy know House's full story and why he was missing for the past week. He couldn't tell Cameron and chase OR the team, and the team said they wouldn't diagnose him until they get a story as to where House was and why he was being admitted into PPTH. Cameron is pissed that he wont get treatment and decides to make up a story to tell the team so they will diagnose House.
For further detail, reread the chapters :)
once again, i apologize and promise that this will never happen again!!! hope you enjoy! R&R!
ps- sorry for any major grammatical mistakes. i felt bad and i was trying to post this asap.
"So.....you're saying that House is here because he got into a motorcycle crash…?"
Foreman questioned Cameron, not believing one word that came out of her mouth.
"…Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. " Cameron wasn't very good at this. She began to wonder why she volunteered herself up for this in the first place.
Thirteen and Taub exchanged confused looks and then glanced at Foreman, who raised his eyebrows and stood up with his arms crossed to meet Cameron's height. "So, he got into a crash. He'll be fine. We just need to test for brain damage and internal bleeding."
He smirked and turned to meet the terrified eyes of his team members. "You heard me. Oh, and while you're at it, give him 130 mg of Morphine for the pain."
Thirteen and Taub once again gave each other surprised looks, but didn't know what else to do. As they got up, Cameron gasped.
"What?! You can't give House that much morphine without knowing what's wrong with him! That could kill hi-" Shit.
Foreman sighed, and signaled the team to sit back down. "So he didn't get into a crash. You have no clue what happened to him." it was obvious to Foreman that she was lying. This is getting ridiculous, he thought.
Cameron walked over to meet Foreman's inquisitive eyes. "Fine. I don't know. Wilson came looking for Cuddy and it slipped that House was here. He wouldn't tell me what was wrong, but the last thing all of us need is for House to get even worse and possibly die due of lack of medical attention from his own employees. " Her eyes brimmed with tears as Foreman scoffed and sat back down at the glass table in the diagnosis room next the Taub and Thirteen.
"Look, if we don't know what happened to him, than there's nothing we can do about it." He obnoxiously added, "plus, we don't work for him anymore."
Cameron was in awe. "There's a file in his room from the EMT. Maybe you could go and look at it, find out what brought him here, and diagnose him!"
Foreman shook his head. "We were informed before you arrived that Cuddy and Wilson had made sure the file was limited to information only pertaining to the current condition of our patient. No history, no information on where the patient came from."
The patient? Cameron's heart pounded in fury. So now House was just a regular patient? She had enough of the crap that Foreman had been giving her. Without thinking about what would come next, she walked over to where Foreman was sitting and got down to his eye level.
"Look, asshole. He's not a patient. He's House. I don't know what's going on either. I'm just as confused as you are. Will I let that fact kill your boss, the best doctor in the entire Hospital? No. Will I let your bitchy attitude get in the way of his health? Not a chance. So you better do your job or I will make sure that you no longer have one by the end of the day. Now stop PMSing, get off your ass, and haul it into our 'patient's' room to do whatever you can to keep him from dying before we can find Cuddy and sort out this mess."
Slowly but never breaking her vicious gaze, Cameron stood up defiantly and waited for a reply.
Foreman simply stood up as well, looked Cameron in the eye, and said, "No."
And just as quickly as the word was spoken, Foreman had opened the door and let it shut behind him. Cameron was speechless. As she watched him stride down the hallway to the elevators, she felt a hand tap her on the shoulder.
" Thanks for telling him off like that. He's been… PMSing ever since House didn't show up this week and Cuddy put him in charge. " Taub meant every word, too. Whenever Foeman was put in charge, he became an egotistical jackass in Taub's opinion. Even more of one than House ever was.
Thirteen smiled. "I'll talk to him later. But for now, no one is dying. What should we do?" She knew that her Boyfriend was overreacting, but would never let his pissy mood get in the way of saving her boss's life.
As Cameron sighed with relief, she tore her gaze from the glass doors and looked behind her at Taub and Thirteen. "Thanks. Umm….Go and see what's on the file. Do whatever you can to hold off any emergencies until Cuddy and Wilson arrive together. " The two doctors nodded and began making their way to the door.
Cameron spoke again before they made their exit. "I know it'll be hard treating him without knowing what's wrong. I wish I knew also. But you did learn from House. I'm sure you can figure something out. Thank you for doing this. As soon as Cuddy and Wilson come, I'm sure it'll all be cleared up."
Taub gave a slight nod and left the room. Thirteen made her way over to Cameron and wrapped her arms around her. "I'll talk to Eric later. Don't worry about House so much." And with that, she walked out the door as well.
Cameron stood frozen in the middle of the room. Until now, she didn't realize how…defensive she was about House. Why did she care so much about Foreman not wanting to treat him? Cameron knew she cared for House, but it never occurred to her that maybe it was still more than just caring.
Determined to take it all off of her mind, the puzzled doctor began making her way to the surgical wing. Hopefully the sight of her Husband would get her mind off of her former boss.
Husband? Cameron felt sick to her stomach as she stepped into the elevator and took a deep breath, preparing for the worst.
