I'm sorry that it took me so long but after I was with my parents until sunday, I slept at a friends for two nights. So I just came home a few hours ago from university. But here it is. Chapter 13!


When Remy woke up the next day she felt pretty good. She felt as if everything was going to be okay. She turned and when her eyes fell on the clock on the night stand next to her, they went wide.

"Fuck!"

She was late for work. She couldn't be late. House would mock her all morning, oh screw that, he would mock her the whole day. She dressed and tried to make herself nice to look at in record time.

"Bye dad," she called as she walked past Victor in a rush and pecked him on the cheek.

"Bye kiddo," he said a bit confused. "Don't wait too long to visit again."

"I won't, I promise. I left my card in the guest room. Private cell and home number is on the back of it. Just call me."

With that she left and climbed into her car. She drove to the hospital as fast as possible and jumped out of her car as soon as it was in the parking lot. When she entered the lobby she saw Dr. Cuddy walking over and mumbled a silent "Shit!".

"Dr. Cuddy, good morning," she gretted her faking a smile.

"Good morning, Dr. Hadley. You're late. After calling in sick for two days."

"I'm sorry Dr. Cuddy. Look, I was really not able to work the last two days."

"And now you are? Why are you late? Which bar were you at?"

"Yes, now I am. I'm late because I was not at home and therefore had no alarm in the morning. And I was not at some bar. I was with my dad since the day before yesterday. Was that all, Dr. Cuddy?"

"Don't forget who you're talking to Dr. Hadley. But I'm satisfied…for now. And for god's sake: Talk to Cameron! Otherwise I will go crazy."

"I will, Dr. Cuddy. I will!"


Cameron was talking to one of her nurses when she saw her walking in and talking to Cuddy.

God, how can she possibly look so good in the morning? How can she possibly look so good at all? Like it doesn't even bother at all. Maybe she just never really loved me.

She saw her walking to the elevator and before she could look away, their eyes met. Remy stopped in front of the elevator, pressing the button, not taking her eyes off of the blonde. Cameron noticed the meaningful look on her face and the half smile that was thrown at her. She thought she couldn't return it but her lips worked on their own.

Just as the blonde was about to walk over to her, the elevator doors in front of Hadley opened and after one last glance the brunette stepped into it and let the doors close behind her.


The brunette walked through the halls and stormed into the diagnostics office.

"Where were you the last two days?"

"Not at work," she answered House's question, smirking at him.

"You're late," he continued.

"Yes. Do we state the obvious now? You're an ass," she said grinning at him.

"How old was she?"

"22, red hair, the body of a model and I fucked her senseless all night," she said bluntly.

"Very funny Thirteen. I think I have to tell-"

"Cuddy already knows. I met her in the lobby. But go ahead. Harass her because then you at least won't harass me anymore," she cut him off.

"What is up with you today? Someone seems to be in a good mood. How come?"

"Well, I just missed you House and now I'm happy to see you again. So, do we have a case?"

"No," Kutner answered because House was occupied with examining Thirteen's every move. He just couldn't figure out why she was in such a good mood.

"Great, I'm going to help out in the ER then. See you later guys," she said and was out of the door in no time.

"What the hell was that?" Kutner was stunned.

Taub had a funny smirk on his face and Foreman just sat there, not impressed at all. His face showed no motion. But well, it's Foreman, he is a robot.

"Taub, Kutner, go to the clinic. Foreman…do whatever it is that you do."

With that House left the room and walked to the elevator.


As Remy walked to the ER she had a goofy smile on her face. Everything would be alright, she just knew it. She loved Allison and her father was right, it's all that matters.

We will make a brand new start
From the pieces of our hearts
The break of day is before us

Cast your sorrows to the wind
Let the highway take us in
As we escape the disorder*

She walked out of the elevator and straight to the ER doors. When she entered the department and Cameron was nowhere in sight, she went over to one of the nurses, who told her that Cameron just went to the cafeteria to have lunch.

Great, lunch with her. That's just pefect. That will give me time to explain myself to her.

As she arrived at the cafeteria and looked around for the blonde, her eyes stopped at one table. The table which was occupied by Allison, but not only by Allison. Chase was with her. Of all people, she was having lunch with Chase. She stood still for a moment, not moving an inch, just looking at the two of them. Her hands came to a fist when Chase took Allison's hand in his. How could he? When Chase looked at her, she still didn't move. She just kept staring, well more glaring at them. Suddenly Cameron turned around to look at her and when they locked eyes Remy's heart felt as if it might stop beating. She realized that her eyes were starting to build tears and turned around, walking out of the cafeteria immediately.

She ran, just ran all the way, coming across House who just looked at her surprised. Before he could even get out one word she barked at him, while running past him. "Shut up, House. Just don't say a thing."

Finally she wondered where she was even running to. She looked around an found the stairs to the roof top beside her. She went through the door and began climbing up.

Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.**

When she arrived the roof top she was out of puff. She leant down with her hands on her knees and took some deep breaths. As she calmed down a little she took a few steps forward, looking over the city from up there. She just stood there, watching the chaos down in the streets when she heard the door behind her open. She knew exactly who it was so she didn't feel the need to turn around.

"Leave me alone," she said defeated.

"It's not what it looked like Remy," she said in a pleading voice.

I've seen your world with these very eyes
Don't come any closer, don't even try
I've felt all the pain and heard all the lies
But in my world there's no compromise**

"It should be. It's better that way. I'm okay with it. You're better off with him." Remy still had her eyes all over the city.

"I don't want him. I want you."

"Well then why did you run back to him after I was away for just two days?" The brunette turned around, glaring at her former girlfriend.

"We're friends, he was just being nice," she said trying to explain herself.

"I'm sure he's a pretty good friend."

"Well, what did you do these last two days? Was it just the 22 year old girl with red hair or were there even more?"

"God, you really believed what House told you? I just mocked him so he wouldn't try to find out where I really was."

"And where were you? At a strip club, at a bar drinking yourself senseless? Come on, am I close?" Cameron got angry, really angry. How could Remy accuse her for searching someone to hold on to. How could she blame her for that?

"You have no idea where I was the last two days so stop accusing me. You have no right to do so."

"Well, then tell me," the blonde said, crossing her arms in front of her chest, looking at Hadley challenging.

"I was at my dad's. I figured he might want to know that his daughter is dying of the same disease as his wife did after not seeing me for 6 years."

Allison was outraged. She was at her father's?

"Yeah, I thought your answer would be something like that," she said, walking past the blonde and back into PPTH.

As she ambulated through the lobby about to leave, she saw House hobbling over to her.

"Well, well, where did that good mood from the morning go to?"

"Shut the fuck up House!"

"Who allows you to talk to your boss like that. I could fire you," House said in a mock tone.

"You don't have to. I quit!" And without another word she walked past him, leaving PPTH.


"I quit!"

Cameron heard her words all over again in her head as she stood at the same place from which she watched the brunette walk out about 5 minutes ago.
