Topanga, Cory, and Eric entered a white room with little slashes of pastel colors everywhere. Shawn was there, in bed, resting his head on a few pillows.
"Hey, guys," he said softly.
"Hey," replied Cory, "How ya doing?"
"I've had better days," Shawn said smiling. He sits up as Cory sits down on the bed and Eric in the chair by the bed. Topanga leans against a wall looking into a barren corner of the room. Shawn catches her eye and says, "Topanga, you can look at me, I won't be disgusted, I promise."
Topanga looks up at Shawn. "Huh? Oh sorry, just got...stuff on my mind."
"Stuff? What kind of stuff?" Shawn asked her.
"Oh, just...well...stuff! It's hard to explain, and if I could explain it I would but...I cant," she responded.
"I see... You know, the last time I was in a hospital was the day that my dad died," said Shawn quietly.
Cory, Topanga, and Eric all look down, they were all there when the doctor came in and told them the news. Chet Hunter had died of a massive heart attack. Shawn and his half brother Jack took it very difficultly. They were all silent.
"Shawn, about today, you know, the whole Turner thing..." Cory said but was interrupted.
"Yeah, I know, I mean...it was...it was... odd, weird, I don't know...I was just...well...yeah," Shawn said trying to make sense but not.
"Wait. What are you talking about?" Topanga asked completely confused.
"Umm...Shawn saw Mr. Turner today. When we were running to class he bumped into him...or so he claims," Cory said filling her in.
"Oh good," Topanga said.
The other three looked at her questioningly.
"Well, I thought I saw him just now but Eric pulled me away. And the more I thought about it, the more I thought I was crazy. Least now I know I'm not alone!"
"You saw him?" Shawn asked surprisingly. "Here?"
"Yea, just a few minutes ago. He had crutches...you don't think that it was from the...well...you know..." Topanga winces, "...the accident?"
"I...I...I don't know. Maybe. It's possible," Shawn said turning to put his legs to the floor. "Cory, can you hand me my clothes?"
Cory handed Shawn his leather jacket, jeans, and red shirt. Shawn finished getting dressed as the doctor came in. "Shawn Hunter? It seems you just started to hyperventilate, not a big problem but I am going to give you an inhaler. Take this every four hours with the exception of sleeping hours. Do you know how one works?" the doctor asked Shawn.
"Yeah, I know. So other than this am I free to go?" Shawn asked impatiently.
"Yup, you already have your clothes on so I just need you to sign here and you can be on your way." Shawn took the pen the doctor handed him and signed on the dotted line.
Shawn, Cory, Eric, and Topanga left the hospital at 6:45.
"You want to order in?" Cory asked the others.
"Sure, why not?" Eric answered.
The four headed back to the apartments after a day full of surprises and excitement.
