Hey lovely people! Thanks to all that reviewed Chapter 3! The support I have gotten for the story so far is amazing! Can't thank y'all enough! Also shout out to Awesome Sauce for finding those words that rhyme with Seth, and that amazing poem! Also to Torigagged, if you can't handle the angst in my story, please don't read it. Critism like that I do not take lightly.

Anyways, there will be a person from my poll that will be in this chapter, and you will have to read to find out who. Here is Chapter 4: Love All Around.


"Daddy, is Riley going to be okay?" Auggie asked Cory, and tears formed in Cory's eyes. Why did this have to happen to his family? He has a son who is only five and loves his big sister to death.

"We can only hope son," Cory said, patting Auggie's back, as Feeny walked into the room.

"What is for dinner tonight?" Feeny asked, and Cory couldn't help but smile. After years of taking care of him, Cory couldn't resist not taking care of Mr. Feeny. Mr. Feeny, after all, is back to take care of him, again.

"Chicken," Topanga said, with a smile, setting it down on the table, and Mr. Feeny, Cory, and Auggie stared at it.

"Mrs. Matthews, are you sure that is chicken?" Mr. Feeny asked, and Cory nudged him.

"Yes, Mr. Feeny, why it is. I'll feed you like how I feed Cory if that-"

"Alright, let's just eat," Cory said, with a smile on his face. Then remembered, they were missing one. Technically, they were missing two, but there was one who should be here.

"Where's Miss Hart at?" Feeny asked, and Cory looked at him.

"Probably in Riley's room. Feeny, do you want to go give her a little pep talk?" Cory asked, and Feeny nodded his head.

"Oh no Mr. Matthews, that is your place, for now," Feeny said, and Cory got up and went into his daughter's room, where he found Maya, looking out the window, drawing.

"Did I ever tell you that you were an amazing artist?" Cory asked Maya, before putting his arm around her shoulder, and she leaned back on his chest. Like Riley does.

"Mr. Matthews, do you feel like part of you is missing?" Maya asked, and Cory looked at her. Of course part of him was missing, but he knew that she knew that.

"Yes, how about you?" Cory asked, and Maya made a sarcastic laugh.

"Mr. Matthews, all of me is missing," she said, as tears began to roll down her cheeks. Then, Cory realized something. Riley was Maya's life. They were always there for each other, and it reminded him of someone. Shawn.

"Maya, there is a thing about this world. Its messed up. I met this world, and I am still meeting it. You do realize though one thing, I don't have my best friend with me as I meet it," Cory said, and Maya looked at him, puzzled.

"What about Mrs. Matthews?" Maya asked, and Cory laughed.

"Maya, I mean my best friend. My wife, she's my best friend, but I have a friend who at times, I love more than her," Cory said, and Maya stared at him.

"Well anyways, I have no one right now. My mom works too much, and she's all I have, other than Riley," Maya said, and Cory looked at her. How had she not realized yet that she had him, Topanga, Auggie, Farkle, and Lucas.

"Maya, you have us," Cory said, and Maya laughed.

"Thanks, Mr. Matthews, but I just don't want to be a burden to you guys," Maya said, and Cory embraced her into a hug.

"You aren't a burden. You are basically my second daughter. I love you so much, and I am so thankful to have you in my life," Cory said, and Maya looked up.

"Why are you so hard on me then? Sometimes I feel like you don't like me," Maya said, and Cory smiled.

"Mr. Feeny always pushed me to do my best. He pushed me to the point that I felt like he didn't like me at times. Then, I realized that he did it to show my potential. That's why I do it with you. You have so much potential," Cory said, and Maya smiled. Someone actually thought she had potential.

"Mr. Matthews, this is the picture I drew, I want you to have it," Maya said, ripping out the picture. It was a picture of Riley, her right arm resting on a tree.

"Wow, Maya," Cory said smiling, "I told you that you were a great artist."

"Yeah, and you also told me I had great potential, two things only you and Riley have told me," Maya said, and Cory hugged her.

"Its because its true," Cory said, "Now lets go eat."

"Alright," Maya said, smiling.

Dinner was different, no one really talked, they all just sat there and ate. Then, Topanga looked at her phone, and read a text. It was from Shawn Hunter, and he said he was in NYC and he would be there in a few minutes.

"So, Cory, I think I know what might cheer all of us up a bit," Topanga said, smiling, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Cory got up to answer it.

"What's happening?" Mr. Feeny whispered, and Topanga smiled.

"Just watch," Topanga said, and as Cory opened up the door, his friend was on the other side.

"Shawny!" Cory yelled, as he embraced Shawn in a hug, and they walked in.

"Hey Topanga, and Mr. Feeny, you don't look a day over-"

"Alright, Mr. Hunter, don't start," Feeny said, and Shawn smiled.

"So, let me get this straight," Cory started, "I lose one, and I gain three?"

"Oh you know you're glad to have us," Shawn said, and Cory smiled.

"Yeah, I am." Cory said, as he checked his phone, where he got a text message.

"Leave the money at John Quincy Adams Junior High, every second you waste the more I get mad and the more your precious little girl gets hurt."


There is Chapter 4! No Riley, but there was Shawn!
