"It's Spencer," I hear the people whispering behind me. But I can't take my eyes off of Ashley. So many questions are running through my mind right now. Why is she here? Who are the other people? Well I guess I can turn around and find out. I turn and am surprised to see everyone from my past. Glen, Clay, Aiden, Kyla, and Chelsea all stand before me. They all look different in some way. Glen has a beard, Kyla's hair is a little longer, Aiden has a beard as well, and Chelsea has shorter hair. Clay looks the same. Wait why are they here in Boston?

"Um, I'll go get another doctor"

"No wait." I turn to see Ashley with a desperate look on her face. Maybe I can give this a chance.

"Spencer……what are you doing here?" I guess its time to face my past.

"I work here."

"Wait…..you're a doctor?" I hear Kyla pipe up

"Yeah."

"Okay wait. We need to clear some stuff up. Where have you been all this time?" Aiden asks.

"Look I'm just here to help the patient" I say pointing at Ashley

"Spencer we really want to talk to you" Glen says. I sigh.

"Okay…..how about dinner at 6 at Andy's? It's across the street."

"Okay" I hear Clay say

I turn to check Ashley out. Not like that. She has a broken arm and a big gash on her face. It's stitched up and her arm is wrapped.

"What happened?"

"She went to the coffee house a few miles away from our hotel and she crashed her car." Aiden says.

"Wow. So looks like you just have a broken arm and a few cuts and bruises. And 18 stitches on the cut on your right cheek."

"Yeah."

"Okay well because these aren't extremely serious injuries we will release you at 4 o'clock which is in about an hour."

"Okay."

"Okay I'll see you guys tonight I guess," I say about to walk out

"Wait."

"Yeah?" I say turning around.

"Thank you" Ashley says sincerely

"You're welcome" I walk back into the employee lounge only to find Jen eating her 2nd pudding cup. Figures.

"Hey Jen"

"Hey so what was up with the patient?"

"You're not going to believe this"

"What?"

"They're here"

"Who is?"

"Ashley and them"

"The evil LA people?"

"They're not evil, and yes, them."

"Whoa. What are they doing here?"

"I don't know. They wanted to talk to me so I'm meeting them tonight at Andy's"

"Wow. Do they look different?"

"Yeah some of them do but some look the same as I remember. It just makes me wonder how much their lives have changed in 7 years. They could all be married for all I know."

"Yeah maybe Ashley is married" My eyes went wide. I never thought about that before

"Ha yeah maybe" I say nervously

"So were they all there or just a few of them."

"Well Aiden, Kyla, Glen, Clay, and Ashley were there but not my parents"

"I guess they're all still friends"

"I guess so"

"So are you nervous about tonight?"

"Very. I mean what if they are really horrible about me leaving and everything."

"Well maybe they've changed"

"I don't know. Even after 7 years it's still hard for me to believe that they didn't support me in being a doctor. It was just so unlike them."

"I know. But maybe tonight when you talk to them you can find out why they didn't support you"

"I sure hope so"
