When Topanga and Shawn came both sister and best friends broke down. Shawn kept repeating "I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill the-"and Topanga kept repeating
"my Corey, my lovely Corey" Morgan said nothing preferring to let them talk away the guilt. She just hugged them both.

After the crying and guilt had stopped they walked in on the doctors talking to the Matthews and Feeny.

"The surgery went well… we just don't know if and when he will wake up again" the room was silent as Mrs Matthews cried in to Mr Matthews shoulder. The Matthew children held each other as a life line and Feeny fell back into a chair. Topanga and Shawn frowned attempting to keep back tears as they hugged each other.

They stayed like that for a while until Eric offered to drive the younger generation back to the Matthews'.

Since it was midnight they were all sent off to the respective rooms. Eric and Morgan slept in their rooms Topanga slept in Corey's bed and Shawn slept on the couch. Around three o'clock in the morning Morgan came downstairs for a drink only to find Shawn sat in darkness with a beer in hand.
"You know that can kill you?" Shawn remained silent. He couldn't find anything to say. Morgan sat opposite him and grabbed the beer out of his hand
"HEY" Shawn shouted
"do you really think this is going to help?"
"it helps me!." Morgan raised an eyebrow and said quietly "will it help me?"
"I dunno maybe, you aren't-" before he could finish Morgan had downed the can in one.
"This" she said raising the can "is disgusting and does not help!" suddenly Shawn laughed. Morgan stared at him confused "what?"
"You did what Corey did when he caught me with alcohol last time…" Morgan raised an eyebrow "yeah well…. He cares about you" Shawn frowned muttering "I know."

Morgan got up and emptied any can she could find down the sink before attempting to go to bed. Shawn grabbed her hand "please stay… I uh I want you…" Morgan blushed.

"No you don't you want Corey you want him here playing video games, reading a comic or whatever you do. You only want me because you need comfort. I'm eleven Shawn I can't provide you comfort I'm sorry" Shawn smiled.
"I'm sorry I think it's the alcohol talking…. I want comfort but I want to understand"
"Understand what?"
"Why this has happened…. Why I wasn't there to help" Morgan smiled and leaned up to kiss his cheek.
"You will understand just not tonight and especially not under influence now go to sleep and tomorrow I'll tell you everything" Shawn nodded. Morgan watched him climb into bed and walked upstairs to find Eric.
"How did you grow up so fast squirt?"

"I didn't…. Corey did" she kissed Eric on the cheek and went to bed leaving Eric gobsmacked.
