Hope you enjoy chapter 4 :)

"Cory? Dude wake up!"

Cory hears a familiar voice and flickers his eyes open and they become huge due to who he sees standing right in front of him; Shawn! And he has the biggest smile on his face!

"Shawn? Is that really you? Cory asks desperate.

"Yes Cor, it's me and I heard everything you said and I forgive you." Shawn reassures but then Cory notices a huge glow around Shawn's body.

"Umm that's great Shawnee, but why is there a glow around you?"

"Oh well you see"- a doctor walks in with sadness in his eyes and interrupts.

"I'm really sorry Mr. Matthews but Shawn passed away while you were asleep last night."

Then Cory realizes that wasn't really Shawn, it was his ghost. No! This can't be happening Shawn was supposed to wake up, not die! How can he live without his best buddy? He won't be able to considering that he is the one that put him in the hospital and basically killed him! He jerks out of his thoughts when he hears, "Goodbye Cory, I love you man, have a great life with Topanga!" Shawn says and waves as he vanishes out of sight and into the air.

"No! Shawn come back! Don't leave me! Shawn! SHAAAAWWWNNNN!" Cory screams and cries.


Cory wakes up breathing heavily and all sweaty and looks over to see Shawn still unconscious, "Thank goodness it was a horrible nightmare" Cory thinks to himself. He leans his head back against the wall until Topanga walks in and says, "Morning babe, sleep well?" and hands him a cup of coffee.

"No, I had a horrible nightmare about Shawn dying and I saw his ghost."

"Oh I'm sorry, but don't worry it was just a dream."

"Yeah." Cory says and takes a sip of his coffee

"Anyway, your mom called while you were sleeping. She is allowing you to skip school today to be with Shawn, but she wants you to go home and freshen up."

"But I can't go home, what if Shawn wakes up while I am gone, I can't risk missing that."

"Cory, you can't stay in the hospital forever. You're going to have to go home eventually."

"I will once Shawn wakes up."

"Ok but still, your mom is going to make you come home."

"I know she will." Cory says sighing.

For the next few hours Cory and Topanga talk about random stuff and did a little bit of kissing until they realize that they're in a public place. They continue to talk until Amy walks in and says, "Hey guys, has Shawn made any progress?"

"Nope the doctor says that he is still the same." Cory answers putting his head down

"Aww Poor baby! Anyway are you guys' hungry?" Amy says

"Yes, actually we are considering we didn't eat breakfast." Topanga responds.

"Oh well then it's a good thing I made you both sandwiches with fries and lemonade." Any replies holding three boxes.

"Is the third one for you?" Cory asks.

"No, it was supposed to be for Shawn in case he woke up."

"Well I am not hungry."

"Cory!" Amy warns giving him a stern look.

"Alright fine!"

Cory and Topanga take the sandwiches and start eating them when Amy says, "Cory honey, I want you to come home and freshen up a little."

"But mom, what if Shawn wakes up while I am gone?" Cory wonders.

"Then you can come back and see him." Amy replies.

"But I want to be here when he does."

"Honey, you didn't shower at all today, don't you feel dirty?"

"No I haven't even focused on that."

"Right, just come home and shower, then you can come immediately come back."

"But what if he wakes up while I am gone?"

"Baby, your body is also important to. Just come and take a quick shower."

"Alright fine."

So the car ride home is silent considering the fact that Cory is too worried about Shawn to even talk to anyone. Once they are home, Cory rushes upstairs and takes a quick shower not even bothering to wash his hair. After 10 minutes in the shower, he puts on a fresh red t-shirt and jeans and tries to rush out the door until Alan stops him, "Freeze!"

"What is it Dad! I have to go back to the hospital!" Cory whines.

"I know, but I just need to tell you that you're not staying at the hospital overnight tonight." Alan says.

"What! Why!"

"Because Amy is and you're going back to school tomorrow."

"Oh No! I refuse to go back until Shawn wakes up."

"Let's get something straight. You're going back to school tomorrow and that is final!"

"GRR! YOU'RE THE WORST! I HATE YOU! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT SHAWN!" Cory yells and storms leaving a shocked Alan.

"What happened?" Amy asks coming into the room.

"Cory got angry when I told him that he has to go back to school tomorrow." Alan answers

"Aww! Poor thing."

"Yeah and he also thinks that I don't care about Shawn and he hates me."

"Oh no he doesn't hate you. He's just worried about Shawn."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah, once Shawn wakes up he will forget that he said that to you."

"Ok."
