Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to the Boy Meets World show.
AN/ My first Boy Meets World fic! Yea! Everyone is about twenty. Cory and Topanga are not married just dating. Angela and Shawn aren't together. Jack is single. I'm not sure if Rachel is going to be in this story yet. In my story they aren't in college yet.
Topanga Laurence sat staring at the empty booth across from her
She was in Chubbies thinking about her relationship with Cory.
There was something wrong she could tell.
Things weren't the same between them.
He seemed distracted, and he didn't show up for a lot of their dates.
He said it was because of his new job.
Cory worked for a bank, and it ate up a good chunk of his time each day.
They were supposed to meet at Chubbies today at 6:00 p.m.
She glanced at her watch. It was 6:45 p.m.
He was late again.
She waited for another hour before finally getting up to go home.
Just as she started up the staircase Cory started down it.
"Cory, this isn't working anymore!" Topanga said quietly meeting him in the middle of the stairs.
"I know! This place really should get an elevator!" Cory replied.
"No! I mean us. This is the seventh time you've either stood me up, or was late." Topanga said.
"I'm sorry, but the bank made me stay late today. So, how about I go buy you some flowers, and everything is okay again." Cory smiled.
"No! Everything is not okay! What you did can't be excused with flowers or candy! Don't you get it? Flowers won't replace my time with you!" Topanga said getting angry.
"Topanga, I told you the bank made me stay late." Cory said.
"And you couldn't have called? You couldn't have picked up a phone and said, 'Hey I'm going to be late, why don't we reschedule?'" Topanga asked.
"I guess I could have." Cory said shrugging his shoulders.
"You really don't care. Do you? Topanga asked.
"Of course I do! But…" Cory started.
"No buts! You either care or you don't care. And it looks a lot like you don't care right now." Topanga said.
"Topanga, are you trying to break up with me, or something?" Cory asked.
"I'm not trying to break up with you. I am breaking up with you!" Topanga said pushing past Cory, and running up the stairs, and out of Chubbies.
"Topanga!" Cory called. But she was already gone.
She arrived home a few minutes later in tears.
She bounded up the stairs, and into her room, shutting the door behind her.
How could he not care? How could he love his job more than he loved her?
There was a soft nock at her door, and Angela appeared in the doorway a moment later.
"Are you okay?" Angela asked softly as she stepped into the room.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Topanga questioned crying into her pillow.
"Because I was at Chubbies, and I saw the whole thing." Angela admitted.
"Oh, great! Was there anyone else I know there?" Topanga asked.
"Yes. Shawn and his half brother, who just moved here, named Jack." Angela said gently patting Topanga's shaking shoulders.
"Shawn saw that?" Topanga asked horrified.
"Yes." Angela replied.
"He has a half brother?" Topanga asked.
"Yes." Angela repeated.
"And he saw what happened to?" Topanga questioned.
"Yes." Angela said again.
"Oh, no!" Topanga wailed.
"It's alright! It's going to be okay. Why did you break up with Cory in the first place?" Angela asked.
"He had no time for me anymore." Topanga cried.
"Topanga, It'll be all right. You're a great girl, and you'll find someone else." Angela encouraged her.
"You really think so?" Topanga sniffed.
"I really think so." Angela smiled.
"You're right! I'm not going to sit around here, and cry! I'm going to find someone who has time for me!" Topanga said sitting up triumphantly.
"I can even introduce you to a guy!" Angela grinned.
"Like who?" Topanga asked.
"Like, Shawn's cousin Jack! He is really cute!" Angela said.
"Can I meet him in about two weeks, or so. I think by then I'll probably be ready to date again." Topanga said.
"Sure." Angela replied.
"Thanks." Topanga said.
"I'll tell him about you. I think you'll like him, and he's single." Angela said.
