I'd like to thank theshowpopper, Alipeeps, J. Daisy, and HouseCat for their reviews. I hope you like this next chapter.
Dr. Robert Chase struggled with the fact that he couldn't do anything to help Cameron. He had hoped that when she could breathe on her own that she would explain the hostility towards House to him. He knew she liked him, and that they had once dated, and he ruined it, but he didn't understand why she still kept after him. He remembered that a week ago Foreman, Cameron, and himself discussed this matter...
One week ago...Chase POV
Foreman: We heard about your...tests. We're really sorry. I asked if she was okay.
Cameron seemed to hesitate at the question, but she, then realizing the pause, quickly answered it.
Cameron: I'm really not upset about that...well not alot...it's just...House.
House. The misanthropic son of a bitch that broke her heart. The guy who couldn't just tell Cameron his feelings, though everyone knew he had them. Except Cameron.
When are you gonna get over him, I asked. She stares at me then before she can answer Foreman decides to say that she was wasting her time with him. I hear and see something, but I dismiss it. Who was that? Is there someone here?
Cameron: You think I don't know that?
She seems hurt and innocent, yet raging with fire. I tell her that I had heard House and her speaking and I ask her why she told him that she hated him. "I was angry," she responds, "He makes me so crazy." Foreman asks why not forget about him?
I stare in her eyes searching for the answer myself, but I come up with nothing. She just looks at the floor and quietly whispers, "I don't want to." Foreman says that she's more insane than he is. I just look at her wanting to comfort her and I know that there is nothing I can do. I guess I didn't hear the door open because House asks Foreman and I to go to the exam room. I look at Cameron for one last look and I see her smile. I smile back. Maybe I did do something...

Present
Dr. Lisa Cuddy didn't hate anyone. She didn't like House, but she never hated him. He often made her go crazy, but she still never hated him. She didn't approve of House's non-existent relationships. She and James Wilson knew that he secretly liked Allison Cameron. She liked Cameron; Cameron was a hard worker and somehow got House into line. Lisa hated that Allison was sick; House was a mess, in her mind, she needed Cameron to help him.
Cuddy: And how is she now?
Wilson: Worse. She's not breathing on her own. I believe now is the time for a biopsy.
Cuddy: I agree...Was there anything else?
Wilson: I would like Dr. House to accompany me to do it.
Cuddy: That's fine, but once he's done he's got clinic duty. (stares at House)
(House sticks out his tongue)
Cuddy: Nice, House. Now, leave. Clinic duty, okay?
(both leave)
Wilson: Greg...do you think Cameron would have done a biopsy on Mary Lollman without your consent?
House: Why yes...before she was admitted she told me that she needed to finish something. That was probably it.
Wilson: I'll get started on the biopsy, if you want to look through the records.
House: Where's Chase and Foreman? I'll just get them to do it.
Wilson: In the office discussing possibilities of Cameron's case.
(House leaves)

House's POV
Foreman: So she remembered House?
Well of course she did, it's me for goodness sake. Not particularly the reaction I wanted, but hey, one can only hope. I continue listening.
Chase: sort of. I'm quite sure. I think physically her heart was telling her, but mentally her brain could not remember him.
What is he on? Crystal meth? No, that was Cameron...
Foreman: What did House say?
Now's as good as time as any to come in...I walk in.
"So I need you guys to check the biopsy records. Look to see if Cameron had a biopsy done to Mary Lollman."
(Chase and Foreman leave)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still House's POV just one hour later...
(Wilson enters House's office)
Wilson: Cameron did not do the biopsy for Mary Lollman.
Damn. "Oh really? I would have sworn that she would have done it to spite me. I guess not..."
Wilson: You did the biopsy.
I knew it wouldn't have taken them long. "I may reacall that."
Wilson: Well?
Well, what? Come on James, I'm not that easy... "The...uh...tests haven't come back yet."
Wilson: What? Oh...okay...ummm...why did you do the biopsy?
Well for many reasons...I'm not gonna tell you. "She couldn't do it, that's all I know. The thing she had to finish was just her way to get out of talking to me. I thought she still hated me so when she left and joined Chase and Foreman, I followed. I heard them discussing me, so I listened. After I sent Chase and Foreman to an exam room, I did the biopsy. Five minutes later, Cameron admitted herself, I forgot about the biopsy test papers. I sent them in yesterday. "
Wilson: Well, I'll check with Cuddy to see if they're back...I knew it...
yeah yeah..."Yeah, yeah."
