A/N: Once again, I left you with one of my infamous cliffhangers.
It really is him, Val thought. Why now? I've finally gotten my life settled, gotten over him. But it is great to see him again.
Val stared at Tyler. He looked even better than he did in high school.
"Tyler?" she said making sure it really was him. "Oh my gosh, it really is you!" She gave him a quick hug.
Both of them stood there, staring at each other, recollecting past memories. Breaking the silence, Kenny cleared his throat. They both snapped back to reality. Val was the first to say something.
"Oh… well… since you're here," she was trying to come up with an excuse to escape the situation, "I better go now." She grabbed her clipboard. "I'll tell you my story later Kenny," she said before leaving.
She wasn't fast enough to hear Kenny shout, " Don't forget to tell me his role in your love life." Tyler looked at Kenny confusedly, wondering what his new patient would know about his old crushes' love life. He was about to say something when Val popped her head back through the door. She looked at Tyler then at Kenny.
"Hun, he was never part of it." Kenny laughed. Val eyed Tyler to see if there was a reaction to her comment. Tyler's expression was set as stone, but in the inside he was hurting. Val rushed forward on the hallway once again.
I can't believe I let her run out of my life again, Tyler thought. He was still staring at he door then he laughed to himself.
Great! Another weirdo doctor. How come I'm the one in the hospital? Kenny thought.
" So Doc," Kenny said, " since she won't tell me anything, you will. What's your side of the story?" Tyler was offended by what Kenny said but let it go.
"Sorry son, I'm your doctor, not a storyteller."
"C'mon Doc," Kenny was beginning to get on Tyler's nerves.
"Doctor Connell."
"Fine, Dr. Connell," Kenny replied ignoring the tone of anger in his voice.
"Mr. Logan, Dr. Lanier told you everything you need to know," Tyler said annoyed.
"Fine since you won't tell me I'll find out myself," Kenny said matter-of-factly. He got up from the bed and walked out of the door. Tyler sat in a chair next to the bed. He was so confused. It had been eight years since they had seen each other. He loved her so much in high school and he was beginning to feel the same way again.
