I woke with a start, the sun peaking in through my blinds. I looked over at Spencer and I smiled and kissed her. I looked over at my clock, it read seven twenty-eight.
“Fuck,” I shouted and Spencer jumped. I got up quickly.
“What’s wrong baby,” she asked groggily.
“I overslept! I have to be at work in thirty minutes,” I said frantically. I hurriedly jumped in the shower. I got out, changed quickly and was going for the door and stopped. Spencer had gone back to sleep, I put my spare house key on her key chain, and gave her a kiss and bolted out the door. I sped the whole way to the hospital and just made it to my seat at eight oh five. I sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I remember that look,” Taub said with a smirk.
“Uh huh,” I replied.
“Had a good weekend,” Kuttner asked, trying to break the awkwardness Taub created.
“From what I remember,” I said and laughed. House walked in and slapped files down for our new case. I read my file as House went over it, but all my thoughts went to Cameron. I was in a daze all day; I went down to the lobby to log in some clinic hours when I saw her standing in the nurse’s station. I went right for the files and picked one up. I could feel her staring at me when I felt a warm embrace. I turned to meet the eyes of my lover.
“Hey baby,” she said as our eyes connected.
“Hey,” I said full of surprise.
“Surprised?”
“Very. What’s the matter?”
“Nothing, I just woke up and you weren’t there. I missed you.”
“I know, I overslept.”
“I know, which is why I brought you this,” she said and held up my watch.
“Oh thanks! I knew I was missing something,” I exclaimed and stared at her.
“Yep. So you left a key on my key ring.”
“I didn’t want you to rush out with me, and I wanted my door locked when you left,” I said, avoiding the key exchange scenario, “but I’ll call you later. We can go grab sushi or something.”
“Sounds good, I’ll see you later,” she said and kissed me. I watched her walk away, I turned to see if Cameron was still there, but she was gone.
As the month went on, I still hadn’t heard a word from Cameron. I was still with Spencer and we had become regular ecstasy users. Our sexual escapades never went without it, it gave both the excitement we needed. I really needed it, it was the only way I could fully enjoy sex with her. She wasn’t Cameron. I tried not to become sluggish at work, but on my third day of going without sleep, I knew I had to stop. I lost track of how many pills I had taken and it scared me. I needed to get hydrated quickly; I went into work late that night and snuck into an exam room. I hooked myself up to an I.V. and lay there. I flipped my phone open and stared at a picture I took of Cameron. Her smile lit up my life and now I’ve lost it. I was still a little high, and I started tearing up because I missed her so. My heart ached for her. I sobbed to myself for a minute, when I heard the doorknob rattle. I panicked and pulled the I.V. out of my arm just as the door opened.
“What in the hell are you doing,” asked a voice so familiar. It took a while for my eyes to focus.
“I..Umm...Chase?”
“Yeah, what are you doing in the exam room? Why have you hooked yourself up to an I.V.?”
“I am not feeling well. I think it’s the flu. Just getting some fluids in me, I can’t afford to call in sick,” I said. I probably shouldn’t have offered so much information. I knew he could tell I was lying.
“Thirteen, that’s a load and you know it. You wanna tell me what’s really going on,” he asked as he shut the door to the exam room.
“Nothing’s going on,” I said as he sat on the rolling doctor’s stool.
“Come on. We’ve all noticed a change in you. Late night partying with Spencer. Some days you’re upbeat and energized and others you’re sluggish. You haven’t been the same since you split with Alison.”
“Whoa, hey, I don’t really want to talk to you about me and Cameron ok?”
“Talk to me. I’ve been there. Remember?”
“Yeah, ok, how did you get over her?”
“It wasn’t easy. But I have come to realize, I wasn’t meant to be with her. That there’s someone else out there for me.”
“But I can’t come to grips with that.”
“But you have to. This pain won’t go away overnight, trust me. But you have to let go. It will eat you alive.”
“She was everything to me,” I said and started to sob, “I felt that she was that one person that I was meant to be with. With her, I felt that what little time I had left was worth living.”
“Hey, you’ll be ok,”
“I don’t know if I will. I spilled my feelings. Something I never ever do. I told her how much she meant to me and I told her that I loved her.”
“Well, Alison’s never been good in the feeling department,” he said I sobbed harder and he embraced me, “you’ve got Spencer. She seems to be starting to fall for you.”
“But I don’t want her,” I said looking up at him. Our eyes locked onto each other, our faces were so close together. He cupped my face with his hands and kissed me. For a second, I hadn’t realized what happened. But the next thing I knew, we were full on making out and I was removing my clothes. I started to undo his tie and unbutton his shirt and removed them. I had nothing but lust in my heart. I laid back and pulled him on top of me.
“Are you sure you want his?”
“Fuck me Chase,” I said and proceeded to kiss me. I can hardly remember why I had sex with Chase. But he was a great lover. He brought me to the edge and back the whole time we had sex. I tried to remain as quiet as I could but there were times I just had to cry out. Most of the time he muffled my cries with a kiss. But with each and every thrust, brought an even louder cry of excitement and pleasure. As he reached his climax he pulled out and spent himself. After that we both passed out. I woke and there was barely light coming in through the window, I looked down and I was naked, with arms around me. Oh God, what have I done? I got up slowly and quietly. I started putting my clothes on when I heard Chase stirring.
“Hey,” he said, getting up. I turned quickly and covered myself, “what’s the point in that? We slept together, we already saw each other naked.”
“I didn’t mean for it to happen, I was still high on X.”
“I don’t know whether I should take offense to that, but that doesn’t make this situation better,” he said pulling his pants up. As Chase picked his shirt up, the door knob to the exam room started to jiggle.
“This isn’t happening,” I exclaim, freaking out. I scrambled to get the rest of my clothes, and the door swung open as Chase was buttoning his shirt up.
“Oh my God,” Cuddy exclaimed. This really isn’t happening, of all people, I’d have rather House catch us.
“Oh God,” I stammer as Chase stood silent, red in the face with fear in his eyes.
“Dr. Chase, Dr. Hadley, after you sterilize this room, I want you both in my office.”
All of a sudden, I saw my career and any chance of getting back together with Cameron flush down the toilet.
