I walked out of the hospital as normal as I could but the second I got in my car and on the road my nerves took over. Instead of butterflies in my stomach I had a swarm of bees and my cool attitude was lost. What do I do? I just decided for the second time to avoid her and for the second time I'm thrown together with her. I took a deep breath to try to calm myself. It didn't work. As I got closer to the Hilton my heart was pounding. I spend 20 minutes in the parking lot trying to calm myself down but I ended up freaking myself out more. Finally I decided it's now or never. I would have preferred never but got out of the car anyway. Once I found out where Cameron was I took another deep breath and started toward her. As I walked into the room my breath caught in my throat. Cameron had changed out of her scrubs and into a pair of tight jeans and a tank top it didn't seem like much but my god to me she looked like a super model. She must have felt someone staring because she looked up and when she realized it was me a smile came across her face. Knowing that I caused her to smile like that was enough to kill my nerves. At least until she started toward me then they came back from the dead with a vengeance. "Hey Thirteen." I gave a barely audible hello and she just kept smiling. Her stare got to be too much for me and I had to speak up. "Cuddy sent me to help so what do I need to do?" "Well, since you're a little taller than me I bet you can hang the banner. I'm not quite tall enough even with a ladder you'll be perfect." It didn't seem like too hard of a task so I walked over. Upon further investigation however I realized that the ladder wasn't very stable as it was just leaning against the wall. I should have asked Cameron to hold it but no. I had to be the tough thirteen and within a minute I regret not asking as well as my choice of shoes. On about the tenth step the ladder started to lift away from the wall and I knew I was about to make a fool of myself for the millionth time in front of Cameron. The ladder fell on top of me and broke apart. I might have been able to play it off but when Cameron came running over to me I was still gasping from having the breath knocked out of me. "Are you okay? Do feel like you broke anything? Did you hit your head?" "No I'm fine." I started to sit up but Cameron pushed me right back to the ground. "Hold on you might be hurt let me check you out." "Cameron I'm fine it was only a few feet." "Are you sure?" "Yes. Now we just need to figure out how to get the banner up so that we can leave." I didn't mean to sound like I wanted to get away from her but I couldn't think of anything more embarrassing happening. Actually I could but I didn't want to think about it at the time. Unfortunately my remark seemed to have affected Cameron more than I thought it would, she acted hurt and the last thing I wanted was to hurt her. So despite the risk of sounding like an idiot, I was going to talk to her. "Look Cameron I…" "Do you like me?" My jaw hit the floor. "What…what do you mean?" Cameron started to walk toward me and I felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. "I mean I thought you liked me, like really liked me and now you seem like you can't wait to get rid of me." "No Cameron I don't like you." Cameron stopped a foot away from me and started to turn away. "I don't like you. I'm in love with you that's why I don't want to be around you." The hurt look on her face changed to one of confusion as she looked at me. "That doesn't make any sense." "Yeah I know but that's the way it is and now that I've acted like an idiot in front of you I know that there's no chance that you feel the same way about me so I-" I was cut off by the softest, sweetest lips in existence and I just knew I had died and gone to heaven.
