Today she wasn't herself, the events of the previous night haunting her mind. Her eyes were worn, not being able to fall asleep, and when she got up to go to work she just didn't feel the need to put on makeup. Cameron thought she was over this... over him but the truth was even though everything she told him last night was true a part of her had also lied. Cameron inwardly kicked herself but she couldn't just be persuaded so easily by him, it would've been to easy for her... for him.
Cameron finally tore her view from the window and found herself looking into a mirror on the desk. "God I am pathetic," she though finally noticing her appearance for the first time but was she pathetic or was this her just being honest with herself? House had been right about almost all he said about her... maybe even everything.
Her job was boring and her life was just as boring. She lived in Hawaii, an island paradise, but in past ten months for the most part she had either been in her apartment or at the hospital. Cameron took another look at herself again and what she saw ended her internal struggle.
Cameron turned her chair towards her desk and picked up her phone and dialed the hotel House was staying. She didn't know what she would say or what he would do but she knew she they couldn't leave thongs they way they were.
"Hello Mauni Lani Hotel how may I help you?" a young girl's voice answered on the other end.
"Uh hello," Cameron began uncertainly before gathering her voice, "Can you connect me to Greg House's room?"
"No problem just one second..." the girl said and Cameron could hear her tapping on a keybord. "I'm sorry miss but our records indicate Dr. House checked out early this morning."
"That can't be he supposed to be on a week long vacation," Cameron said almost speechless.
The receptionist could hear the distress in woman's voice on the end, "Actually I remember him, I processed his checkout... not many people leave this hotel early."
"Did he say anything to you about why he was leaving?" Cameron questioned hoping to get something.
"Not really he barely said a word, but he did say Hawaii just lost its' appeal," the girl said somewhat confused as how anyone could make such a statement.
Cameron thought for one last string of hope, "He didn't happen to leave a message... for a Dr. Cameron?"
"I'm sorry," the receptionist said sadly, "hope I've..."
"What about Allison," Cameron asked cutting off the receptionist knowing it was a longshot.
There was silence for a few moments, "Actually there is."
"Can you tell me what it says," Cameron said impatiently.
"It is in an envelope I think it is meant for you to pick up in person," the recptionist said examining the envelope.
"Can you just open it and tell me what it says... please it's important," Cameron said her voice almost full of desperation. To Cameron's relief she heard paper ripping.
"Ready," the receptionist asked.
"Ready," Cameron said automatically.
"Take care of yourself... I hope you find happiness Allison," the receptionist finished and turned the note every which way looking for more to the message. It seemed like alot of trouble for a note so short.
"That is all there is," Cameron told the receptionist knowing House. "Do you know what time his plane left?"
"He got the first flight that left this morning... I'm sorry," said the receptionist catching on why this woman on the other end was upset.
"Thank you," Cameron said softly hanging up the phone.
Cameron sat there stunned that message was so unlike House. Leaving a vacation early was not like House, he would of ran up the bill just to piss of Cuddy. "Why did he leave," Cameron thought. "Was this part of his plan or did he actually leave because of her? He said Hawaii lost its' appeal, was she that appeal? This so wasn't like House... maybe he actually had changed," Camerons thoughts raced through her head a mile a minute.
A/N: Short chapter because it makes things more dramatic. Thanks to all who reviewed, it really gives me guidance. VisualDentification thanks that was on of my favorite lines also. I am trying to clean up the mess the writers of the show had Cameron leave under.
