House walked into the office with a smile on his face and a bit of a chuckle, "Morning. This is funny." He held up his coffee cup, "People don't—"
"Not done reading. Go away." Cameron said as she kept her face in the file. She was being pissy because of all the time he'd been making her spend with Chase… she knew that he was showing her just how annoying he really was… but she knew…
~0~0~0~0~0~
"Now a good time?" Cuddy asked as she walked into the office, interrupting the differential.
House… being the jackass he is, "If you can tell me how blood can mysteriously appear..."
"Now." She turned to Foreman, "This includes you."
All three of them got up and walked to House's office.
"What's going on?" Cameron asked, looking up at House.
As House was closing the door, "Feel free to speculate amongst yourselves."
Cameron and Chase watched Cuddy and Foreman discuss something then him sign papers.
"Doesn't look promising."
They watched as Foreman handed Cuddy back the document and talk a bit longer before House and Foreman walked back into the office.
"So, where were we?"
"Polish sophomore coughing up blood." Chase supplied.
"Not the case, the speculation. The palace intrigue. The rising self doubts. Did Foreman get a promotion?" House said in his usual sarcastic way.
"I resigned." Foreman looked from Chase to Cameron.
Cameron gave a sad, surprised, "What?"
"Personally I can't believe I've had the same 3 employees for 3 years…" House said to break the silence before it started.

Cameron and Remy were at their favorite diner dive of restaurant.
"Foreman quit…"
Remy looked up and dropped her jaw, letting a fry fall from her mouth, "What?"
"Yeah…"
"Why?"
"I don't know…" She shrugged, "He'll tell me when he wants to."
~0~0~0~0~0~
"I didn't expect House to beg me to stay, but it seems like he's in a better mood since I quit. Nothing in the axial view." Foreman said as he and Cameron started the MRI. "You haven't asked me why I'm leaving."
"Figured you'd tell me when you wanted to."
"I don't want to be like him."
She gave him a sympathetic look, "You're not a jerk."
Foreman laughed, "Thank you."
"I mean... sometimes you are, but I don't think we can pin that on House." She grinned, "And you're a better doctor than when you came through the door."
"Better at some things worse at others."
Cameron nodded along, "Again, not House's fault. It's a job. You're supposed to take the good and leave the bad."
"It's easier for you."
She turned and looked at him angrily, "Why, because you think I need to toughen up? You think I'm weak?"
"Yeah." He nodded, "See? I am a jerk, I've got to get out of here."
Cameron stared at him a moment longer before she nodded and accepted that that's what he thought he needed to do.
~0~0~0~0~0~
She walked into Remy's apartment and plopped down on the couch, "He thinks House has turned him into House Jr…. he thinks he's a jerk…"
"Well… If that's what he thinks, there's not a lot we can do about it…" Cameron nodded and burrowed into her girlfriend, "I know you like him, Babe… but you gotta let him leave if he wants to."
"I know…"
