I'm back! I guess I couldn't stay away for long… we all need some hameron stories when we're getting nothing of the show, I'm I right? Anyway on with the story.

I don't own House md

Sometimes what you want isn't what you need.

Prologue

There's a knock on the door and House grunts at the interruption. He's been playing the piano for hours now trying to organize his thoughts.

"Hi." Cameron greets him and walks past him inside.

"I thought you had work to do." He notes how she's not comfortable like the other times she's been at his place, she standing in the middle of the room looking like she's about to go to the guillotine.

"I heard about Cuddy." That explains her current state.

"Everybody has by now."

"I love you." She says and it's the first time she says it to him. He's a little taken aback by it. She pauses for a moment before continuing, what she's about to say isn't easy.

"I love you, you made me whole again, you helped me when I didn't even know how to help myself. You once said I wanted to fix you, turns out you're the one who fixed me. How ironic is that?" She's fighting back tears now but she needs to tell him all this before she loses her courage.

"You make me happy and there is nothing more I want than for you to be as happy as I am when I'm with you…, even if it's not with me. When you left Mayfield you were a different man, I mean the core of what you are is still the same but there were these differences that showed you were actually trying. That you believed you deserved to feel some happiness that you don't have to be alone." Her voice starts to fail but she continues.

"You wanted to be with Cuddy, but she was with Lucas. And now she's not and you have your chance. I love you and I want to be with you, but because I love you I need to let you go." By now silent tears run down her face.

"If she's the one you want to be with I'm not gonna stand in your way. I'm not gonna force you to choose. You should go to her and tell her how you feel, you shouldn't waist time. You deserve to be happy."

House is stuck to the floor in shock, he sees Cameron stepping closer to him and she kisses him softly on the cheek much like she did when she left Princeton a year ago, and once again he's too stunned for a reaction.

"Bye House." She has said that too many times.

Cameron closes the door behind her and House is left there alone. For what it feels like forever he doesn't move, too much in shock to process what just happen, she said all she needed to say and he couldn't even get a single word out. Yet somehow he's relived. He can go after what he wants without feeling guilty.

I know right now this could be a bit confusing, the prologue is in italics for a reason, its set one year after "Lockdown" and from the next chapter on we'll see how House and Cameron got to this particular point, so next chapter starts right after that episode.

Constructive criticism is appreciated, particularly when it comes to my English, as it's not my first language. So if you see any major mistakes, misspells, etc… please point them out so I won't make them again. Hopefully this story will show some improvement from my last one… hopefully.
