Take Me Back to the Start (Part 3 of It's Tuesday)

Chapter 11

Cameron's Flashback:

"Dr. Cameron dating Chase?" Cuddy asked confused.

"House told you?" I said.

"This ends in one of two ways..if you guys can't work together I have to fire one of you"

"Is there really a need for you to get into my social life?"

Everyone did start to know about me and Chase then.

House started the gossip, and then it spread.

But that's what House usually does, right?

Now this was after the janitor's closet...

No comment.

That is something I kind of want to forget at this point.

"One of you is going to get hurt" Cuddy warned.

"I'm sorry that Chase.." I got interrupted.

"Chase is going to be the one getting hurt here" She warned.

And to this day, I knew she was talking about.

It was me, and yes, I was hurt.

Did I even realize this would happen?

Nope, I didn't.

So, I decided to go the park, which is normally where I am when I need "thinking time".

Or, simply just some time to myself, as I held the photo.

Suddenly, I saw Jen walk by with her stroller, carrying Justin inside.

"Everything alright, Allison. You left" she asked me.

"I'm alright" I smiled taking a breath.

"A lot has happened in the past few days, I just needed some time to think" I continued.

"I understand, especially with this burden you have taken, things can be difficult" Jen told me.

"You're right" I replied.

"Look Cameron, if I were to encourage you to do something, would you do it?" she asked.

"I would sure try" I told her.

"I want to let you know that no matter what hardships you encounter..."

"You know that there are people in this world that love you very much, I included" she smiled.

That was, I guess, what I needed to hear.

Ultimately she noticed I felt like I considered myself not strong,

But, she assured me that I am.

She called me warrior woman, who fighting tough battles, trying to save lives.

I considered myself a person who likes damaged people.

She assured me that I was not damaged, and that I am fixable.

She saw that in me, and I guess I didn't seem it in myself, as much as she did.

"You don't have to be aggressive for people to like you, be the person you are destined to be"

And since the beginning, I had always been the "non aggressive" type.

I've always been that innocent little girl, who wanted to become more than that.

I really realized I needed to hear those words, especially in a time like this...
