The door opened to the rooftop, and Chase and Cameron walked outside, the light breeze hitting their faces. Stars lit up the night sky, with the moon glowing softly over the lake across from the hospital.
"Wow... it's so beautiful out here." Cameron said, stunned. "I've never been up here at night."
"I've never been up here at all." Chase told her.
Cameron looked at him, surprised. "You mean that you've never been up here? Not once?"
He nodded. "Yeah. I guess that I was so busy with my job that I never took the time to, you know... explore this place."
Chase sighed. "I would never hurt you."
Surprised, Cameron turned and looked into Chase's eyes. "Really?"
Nodding, Chase walked closer to her. "Really." Leaning in, he saw Cameron close her eyes and leaned in as well. Their lips met in a soft kiss, but began to grow more passionate and intense. After a couple of seconds, Cameron gasped and pulled away.
"Is something wrong?" Chase asked her.
"I... I can't... I can't breathe." Cameron choked out, and she fell to the ground, with Chase supporting her lightly, making sure that she didn't injure herself.
Kneeling down right next to her, Chase began to panic as he watched Cameron begin to hyperventilate. "I need some help up here!"
"Is she okay?" Foreman asked Cuddy.
She nodded. "Her lymph nodes swelled up enough to close her throat up. But we put her on a ventilator for a little bit. She should be able to breathe on her own now."
"What the hell were the both of you doing up there?!" House yelled, pacing in front of Chase.
Chase sat in a chair in the conference room, with Cuddy, Wilson and Foreman sitting in the room as well. "She needed to take a walk, she was sitting in that bed for days."
House kept pacing back and forth. "You could've gotten her killed up there. Do you know how dangerous it is for-"
He was interrupted by Cuddy. "House!" She turned to Chase. "As of now, you are no longer a doctor for this case."
"But-" Chase began, but was cut off by the glare coming from Cuddy.
"Maybe it would be for the better, Chase." Wilson suggested, and Chase sighed, resting back in his seat.
Foreman glanced at the door. "What are you doing up?"
Eveybody looked where Foreman was looking and saw Cameron standing in the doorway.
"You're not supposed to be out of bed." Chase said and stood up, walking over to her. "You're supposed to be resting."
Cameron shrugged. "I couldn't sleep, and I was bored. I was totally sick of watching General Hospital."
"Now who can ever get sick if General Hospital?" House asked, grinning. "Best show on the planet... duh!"
"You should really be back in bed, Cameron." Cuddy told her. "You're in no shape to be walking around."
Foreman stood up and walked over to Cameron. "Come on, I'll take you back to your room."
Sitting back in her hospital bed, Cameron sighed as Foreman checked her charts once again.
Foreman looked up at Cameron. "Well, it doesn't seem like the treatment is working, so we're going to take you off the acetaminophen and antidepressants."
"Why the hell did you even put me on antidepressants? You know that I'm not depressed... so does House." Cameron grumbled.
"We're just trying to help you, Cameron." Foreman told her, and noticed her scratching her arm. "What's on your arm?"
Cameron shook her head. "Nothing, it just itches... that's all."
Foreman looked suspicious, and walked over to the side of the bed, taking her arm in his hand. He glanced at it and noticed a rash forming all over her arm. "You have a rash."
She nodded. "Yeah. Everybody gets them."
Scoffing, Foreman wrote something down on the chart. "Not those kinds of rashes."
Back in the conference room, Cuddy, House and Wilson still stood in there. Cuddy rested against the wall, sighing as she continued to hear Wilson and House bicker.
"He cares about her, House." Wilson said. "He just wanted to do what's best for her."
"If he wanted to do what was best for her he would have told her to stay in her hospital bed!" House shot back.
Wilson rolled his eyes. House could be so stubborn at times. "House, if you were in Chase's position, you would want to do whatever it took to make Cameron happy... love makes you crazy, you know."
"How would you know?!" House shouted. "You've had more than three divorces!"
"Well how would you know either?! You've never been in love!" Wilson shot back, but immediately regretted it when he saw the pain in House's eyes. Wilson knew he crossed the line. "Look-"
House shook his head, silently telling Wilson to not continue. "I have to go and figure out what's wrong with Cameron."
Before both Wilson or Cuddy could say anything, House was already out the door and hobbling his way towards his office.
Wilson bowed his head down in shame. "I never should have said that."
Cuddy sat down next to him, sadness in her eyes. She felt bad for House and knew that this was hard for him. "I know... but it's not your fault. This... ordeal is making everybody a little edgy right now."
"I knew that it wasn't true... he has been in love before." Wilson told Cuddy.
"With Stacy." As Wilson looked up at her, she knew that she was wrong. She had said the wrong person. Cuddy leaned back in her chair, running her manicured hand through her dark, curly hair. "You're not talking about Stacy... you're... you're talking about Cameron, aren't you."
Wilson nodded his head. "Although he doesn't like to admit it, he is... House is in love with Cameron."
Hope you liked it so far! There really wasn't much medical stuff in this chapter, but I didn't want it to be just about the medical things... I wanted to add some little relationships and stuff. I'm sorry that I haven't written in so long, I apologize. I have been very busy with tests and school, and now that it's over I can focus on my stories!
PLEASE R&R!!
