Hey all, thanks for reading this far. Hope you like this chapter, it is mainly another chapter filled with confusion, wonder and a little suspense. I am sorry if Thirteen is a bit OOC, but I like to portray her as a bit of a mess, like everyone else in the world. She is extremely strong, but her internal struggles have to be shown somewhere.
Rated: T
Hope you like it, sorry about the spelling mistakes.

Apparently Year 9 English is really easy too, so my teacher let me hop online and finish this chapter =]

DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

Chapter 6: What If's?

Cuddy couldn't help but smile at the scene before her. Cameron and Thirteen were incredibly close, she could feel the charge of the moment from across the room. As Cameron's face paled, Thirteen's lips curled into a smile so small she wasn't sure if it was actually there.

Cuddy didn't know how to react. She was so happy one or both of her friends had finally made a move, but so guilty for ruining the moment. She had just realised she was standing there, staring. She blushed a 'sorry', before stammering with some meaningless words, while Cameron returned to a sitting position. The friction of the movement elicited a sharp intake of breath from Thirteen, which she tried to cover with a sigh.

Thirteen seemed to be the only one unfazed by this awkward moment.

"Sorry, Lisa." Cameron sounded slightly scared.

"No, No, I'll... just..." She motioned a hand towards the door.

"It's okay," Cameron stood from the couch, keeping her eyes on the ground, "I have to get back to the ER."

Thirteen zoned out as fantasised images flashed through her mind. Chief of which being her pulling Cameron down onto the couch and kissing softly, yet passionately. She didn't even notice Cuddy say her name. She was too confused about her very placid fantasy. Most of her fantasies were rough, and slightly fierce, dripping with lust. But this, this was different. She didn't just want to fuck Cameron and go. She wanted to kiss her, hold her, know her.

"Remy?" Cuddy tried again.

"Yeah?" Thirteen finally snapped out of it.

"What happened?" Cuddy asked, eyes slightly wide, indicating it was an obvious question.

Thirteen was silent for a while, before looking into her boss' deep blue eyes and admitting, "I don't know."

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thirteen walked quickly through the hospital, with no real destination. She went upstairs walked around, looking as if she had somewhere very important to be, she then resolved to going back down in the elevator and into Cuddy's office. She marched straight past the assistant, ignoring the disgusting look she was given. She entered the office and sat on the couch, in silence.

Cameron was trying desperately to keep busy in the ER. What am I doing? I almost kissed her. I wanted to kiss her! I still do... Maybe I should go talk to her? No, no, it was an accident, she didn't want to kiss me. Or did she?

Cameron was so absorbed in her confusion that she lost track of time. Before she realised it, she had been standing at the nurses station for over ten minutes.

Thirteen tried having a calm conversation with Cuddy, but it didn't work out so well. Her entire life had been spent avoiding unwanted subjects, so she was very good at it. Every time Cuddy mentioned Cameron she managed to swing the conversation to talking about one of the nurses, or a fairly odd patient.

"Remy, what's going on?" Cuddy was trying to be kind.

"I don't want to talk about it, Lis." She was still not entirely there.

"Okay, fine. If you don't want to talk to me, then I have news for you. You are still scheduled to work in the ER. I am sorry for ruining your moment earlier. Personally I was really happy that you two had finally started talking, or... something. So either let me help or get to the ER and sort it out yourself." Cuddy didn't want to use her administrative tone with her friend, but it was the only way to get through to her right now.

"I'm sorry. Okay fine, can we talk about it? I can't face her right now..."

"You didn't seem have a problem with 'facing' her earlier today!" Lisa laughed as Remy shot her a fake dirty look. "So, give me all the details."

"I really don't know what happened. We were just standing around, she seemed nervous, I dunno why. And then, she tripped and we ended up on the couch and... I, she, we, got closer, and..."

"And?"

"And then you walked in." Remy finally looked her in the eye.

"Rem, I'm so sorry." She shook her head gently.

"No, well, it would have been more awkward if we had actually kissed."

"So, you did want to kiss her?"

"Well... I think so. But she's straight! Isn't she? If I did kiss her what would happen?"

"I really don't know, Remy. I really don't. But, you never know unless you try." Lisa raised her eyebrows and placed a hand reassuringly on the younger womans shoulder.

"I hate that saying."

"I know. But I think it applies in this situation. If it were me, I'd just want to be surprised. No talking, no complications."

"Oh god, not you too! What is it with straight girls suddenly thinking about kissing other-" Remy laughed and threw her head back. Her eyes sparkled as she thought of a certain straight girl kissing a certain not-so-straight girl.

"That's not what I meant and you know it!"

"I know. I just, I don't know what to do."

"See, I think you do. And when you do, let me know how it goes." She gave Remy a quick, stood, and walked quickly out of her office, having just received a page about House.

At the end of her shift, Cameron walked into the locker rooms, happy to finally be able to change out of her pink scrubs. She was meant to be doing her paperwork before going home, but really didn't feel up to it. She took a quick glance into the common room and saw the silhouette of a young dark haired female. After studying the shadow for a while, she decided she wouldn't go home just yet. With her heartbeat in her ears and her face red hot, she slowly turned the handle, and entered the room.
