Unchain My Heart

Leaving the Scene.

"Cameron, I would like to have our little agreement just between us."

"Sure." House looked at her knowing this was all gonna fall apart within minutes. He limped away leaving her with just one thing on her mind. Allison Cameron is going on a date with her boss, the man she wants, the one with a heart so damaged thinking she can pick all the pieces up and place them in a word that spells 'Cameron'. But knowing her, It won't be easy. I watch their little conversation through the glass window in house's office. House did not look like he enjoyed that conversation. Cameron walks back into the office and looks at me, then she sits down and fixes her lipstick. I break the silence.

"So, What was that all about?" I asked curiously, as if I didn't already know.

"House and I are going on a date. Yeah, that was the condition I made in order for me to come back and work for him. I hope it goes well, cause god, all I want is him." She looked like she was pulled into an alternate universe where it was just her and house. Living the couples dream of being on a cruise or in a beach house with four kids.

"You really are in love with him aren't you?" She looked at me with a face of curiosity.

"You like House!" I turned away my face hiding the blush that was creeping up to my cheek. I got up and made a coffee while still trying to not face her, trying not to give her the satisfaction that she's right.

"Cameron you have one wild imagination. Don't worry, you have no competition with house. He's all yours. But I don't know why you would wanna date an arrogant ass." I turned around to see Foreman and Chase in their chair, not making a peep and listening to Cameron and I's conversation. I turn around when I feel the blush leave my cheeks. Foreman looks at Chase and gives a face of saying I'm sorry. Chase has liked Cameron from when they first started at PPTH. I got all the information from Foreman, even though I've only been here a few weeks. Chase returns an expression of sadness, but then turns his head to Cameron.

"So what was the deal? You come back and he gets to go into your pants, or you go into his pants? Either way, it sounds about right to me." Foreman looked at me and I just stood quietly drinking my coffee. He and I are about best friends. I know he doesn't give off the best friend type but he is truly a great guy and I'm thankful for having him in my life. And he knows my crush on House has grown from a nonsense liking to every time I look at him, I can't feel my legs. House and I get along fine, but we bicker and argue about cases nonstop. One time I was proven right and tried to explain my theory to House and he gave me information stating that all my facts were wrong. We were arguing and stepping closer to each other with every statement that we made. Then Cameron stepped in while we were just meters apart, jealous of the attention House was giving me and not her. And I turned around and left with my white coat flying behind me, I could still feel house's eyes on me burning a hole into my back. I went into the locker room and looked at myself in the mirror, thinking to myself 'is this job worth it'? I splashed water onto my face, still thinking that same question. I get out of my little trance and see House, Foreman and Chase all sitting around the table discussing a case that had already been solved. Cameron is no where to be seen, I asked chase where she went and he said to talk to Cuddy. Foreman decides to play a little game with House. 

"House, where are you taking Cameron for your date? Stripper Bar? Hooters? Lesbian stripper club?" House looked at him.

"Why? So you can come in and sweep me off my feet in front of the one woman who truly loves me?" House said sarcastically. His smile went into a little droop with his lips when he said in front of the woman who truly loves me. I'm sitting back, kind of enjoying this conversation.

"Just answer the damn question." Foreman said. House looked at him and went into his normal face.

"I booked us a little reservation at a fancy restaurant. Hoping that it will take her pants off easier. Well since she's already, you know, "in love with me" it won't be that hard." He said while staring at Chase. Giving him a little wink while sipping his coffee. Chase just stared at him, then looked back at me.

"Kallo, what do you have to say in all of this?" Chase said. Foreman and I looked at each other. My legs going numb once again. I look at House,

"I say go for it, there's nothing you really can do if it's a deal right? If Cameron likes him and if House is capable of actual human love than there's really nothing to debate about." House just looked at me.

"What a wonderful statement, coming from the girl that lost her first and only boyfriend to suicide. You know?" House put his finger to his lips then put it into the air acting as if he just got an idea. "Maybe he died cause he couldn't deal with your emotions anymore and didn't want to hurt your feelings. So he took the easy way out." I just looked at him, tears running down my face. Giving him the look he wants. The satisfaction he's been waiting for ever since our first argument. I sprinted for the door, pulling the glass behind me. Running down to the bathroom, thinking about Dylan's belt around his neck. Remembering the note, his family's reaction towards it.  Blaming it all on me. I get to the bathroom and head into a stall, Letting all the whimpers and soft cries out. I can't believe House just said that to me. I've never seen him be so cruel for his own self, I only have seen it when he wants something. Then I question it. Why am I here? I wanna be with Dylan again, see his smile, giving him all my love. Is that too much to ask for? I sit in there for about fifteen minutes then I eventually get the strength to get up. I walk up to the mirror and saw my mascara smeared and my lipstick is all across my cheek from when I was wiping my nose. I take a piece of paper towel and ran it over hot water. I put it up to my face, wiping the sadness away but tears kept coming down. My eyes were puffy and swollen, I just look at myself and think 'I'm hungry' I know, kind of random but I haven't eaten all day. And all this crying wasn't making it better. I wipe off the sadness and put on a face of a functional  normal human on. Thinking about what I was gonna do later that night. I get out of the bathroom and make my way down to the cafeteria. As I was making my way down a few people looked at me, clearly a look of judgment. I got down to the cafeteria and ordered a salad with a pink lemonade. I paid at the register and picked up my food looking for a place to sit then I saw Wilson sitting by himself, I strolled to where he was sitting and asked if I could sit down.

"Of course." He said.  I took a seat in the booth across from him. He just stared at me. "Are you alright? So I take it he's heard about house's remark.

"You Heard?" I replied. Looking at him with tears re forming in my eyes. I swallow it away.

"Foreman came to my office asking if you were there. I said no and he explained what happened. I know House can be an ass, he picks at people's pressure points for fun. And there's no excuse for what he said, I've never seen him be so cruel towards you." I'm looking down at my salad, feeling a hand on top of my own for reassurance. "Kallo, Listen. If you need anyone to talk to or just be there with you I'm always here. I know that it was pretty recent and it still hurts. I care about you." He looked into my eyes while I looked into his. He had a face of hopefulness, giving me a thought that maybe it could get better. I squeeze his hand.

"Thanks Wilson." I took my hand away and went for my Lemonade. Letting it flow through my dry throat. Wilson and I just talked for about thirty minutes or so. I laughed when Wilson pointed something out on a guy's fork. Saying that there's a bug on it. A few moments later I heard a walk of three coming down to our booth. And in my mind there's only one person who has a walk of three. I hear a deep voice and look up to see House. He looks in between Wilson and me.

"Finding another one Kallo? It hasn't been long since-" Wilson budded in.

"Shut up House." House looked at him then turned back to me.

"Don't take my best friend now. I don't want him going anywhere if you know what I mean." Wilson looked at him with a disgusting look. I looked at him and got up. I walked out of the cafeteria and said to myself 'tonight's the night.'
