Tasting Reality-Chapter 4-Cory's Many Problems.
Cory gazed at the note. Reading those three penetrating words over and over again. He just couldn't take in what they meant! Then, it hit him. Topanga knew. Those words resounded in his head so many times that it was as though those were the only words he had ever been taught to say. Cory didn't know what to do. His thoughts got tangled somewhere along....who knew. But Cory just couldn't think straight. Too many things were happening at once. He was confused about his feelings more than anything. And in disbelief that he had been so stupid to leave out his bag! But then, he didn't know that she had slipped a note into there. And if she had.he didn't remember her saying anything. But wait. It was Topanga that had gone into his bag. She didn't have any right to be rooting through he stuff. Cory realized what he was thinking, and instantly felt discusted with himself. This was his fault. His doing. Not Topanga's. Cory sighed and tried to keep his mind away from the situation. He knew he was being a coward. Running away from the only active important thing happening in his life. But it was just too much to deal with right now.
Absentmindedly, he walked over to his computer, sat down, and opened up his Inbox. He snorted. It was almost all spam! For a moment, he thought all the emails were. And deleted them all without even looking at who they were from and the subject anymore. But was he deleted the last one, something caught his eye. He didn't know whether he was imagining it, but, the last one looked like it had been from... Lauren. Yes, it was from Lauren. Cory dragged the email back into the inbox from the deleted items. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should open it. 'Don't be stupid'. Said a voice in the back of his head. Cory knew he had to open it. So, bracing himself, he did. But what he found in the contents of the letter would change his life.as he was soon to find out.
Topanga tore down the street. Tears swam in her eyes. Pain surrounded her. She stopped at an apartment building, unlocked the door, ran up a few flights of stairs and unlocked another door. She looked around the apartment. Dark.not one light. Her Aunt Prudence must have gone shopping. Topanga automatically shut the door behind her, and groped around the wall for the light switch. Her hand and something bumpy made contact. She flicked it on. Light pored into the room. Sure enough, taped to the door, was a note saying that her Aunt Prudence had indeed gone shopping and wouldn't be back until Topanga was 'surely in bed'. Topanga found it highly unlikely that her Aunt Prudence would be gone that long, and knew that she wasn't shopping. Her Aunt Prudence had probably drove up to visit her parents. Topanga knew the house was hers for at least a couple nights. Then Topanga did what she had been longing to do moments before. She ran down the hall, into her room, slammed the door behind her, and dropped onto her bed. Crying out what heart she had left.
Shawn stared out the window and into the night. He hadn't heard from Cory yet.but as though some force beyond his sight answered his unasked question, the phone rang. Shawn jumped towards it-ripped out of his thoughts. Then he took some deep breaths and told himself to get a grip. He walked as calmly as he could have possible mustered to the phone. Sure enough, Cory was on the other end. "Shawny".. His voice sounded terrible. Panicked. Afraid. Shawn had never heard him like that. "What's wrong man"? Cory just shook his head-forgetting Shawn couldn't see him. "Core". "Tell me right now what is the matter with you". But Cory just kept shaking his head. Now muttering "my fault". "my fault it happened". "Topanga's gonna kill me". "I've made a mistake". "dunno what I've done.." "C'mon man". Said Shawn. "What's the problem"? "It's her". Said Cory. "Who"? Asked Shawn. "Lauren".
~*~Oh my what a cliffhanger! Lol. I promise y'all I won't make you wait as long as I did the last time.Expect the next chapter up within a week or maybe tomorrow. Please review! It's really what keeps me going. Thanks very much everyone and I hoped you enjoyed~*~
