So... I'll just cut to the chase...

Here's Chapter 7: We Are

"No! Shawn!" Cory yelled, and Shawn tried to grab Cory's shoulders, but Cory ran out the house before he could.

"Cory!" Shawn yelled, chasing after Cory. Shawn knew that this was hard, but Cory needed to stay strong. For Topanga's and Auggie's sake, after chasing him, he finally caught Cory.

"Shawn, how can I handle it?" Cory asked, and Shawn looked at Cory.

"Cory, do you realize that you ran out before I could even tell you what was happening?" Shawn asked, and Cory looked at him, puzzled.

"Shawn, you told me she was dead," Cory said, and Shawn grabbed Cory's shoulders.

"Cory, she's alive. She got there right in time. Cory, why do you think I said she was dead?" Shawn asked, and Cory looked out in the distance, and saw a human, running.

"Umm, Shawn," Cory said, pointing at the character running. It looked like a familiar person.

Seth. After running to the police, one of the cops stopped them.

"You two need to leave, we'll take care of him," the officer, Officer Musty, said.

"No," Cory said, "He'll just go after my daughter again."

"Cory, we have to go. Your daughter is still in the hospital," Shawn said, and Cory looked back at Shawn, then out in the distance, where Seth was running.

"Alright," Cory said, then he grabbed the officer's collar, "You better call me once you find him. If you don't, you better call me so I can get my daughter into safety."

"Will do sir, now let go of my collar!" Officer Musty yelled, and Cory let go of his collar, before turning to Shawn.

"Let's go see Riley."

Like all the other car rides Cory had since Riley was kidnapped, this one was silent also. Cory and Shawn weren't saying a single word to each other, there was too much on their mind. Riley, Mr. Feeny, Seth, Topanga, and basically everyone and everything.

"I know is this about to be a touchy subject," Cory said, breaking the silence, "What are we going to do about Feeny?"

"Cory, we have to give him the best send off he's ever had. He was the best person I know," Shawn said, looking out the window. Mr. Feeny had always been there, and always pushed Shawn to do his best. Not only Shawn though, he pushed all of his students, mainly Cory, Topanga, and Eric, along with Shawn.

Once they got to the hospital, Shawn expected Cory to get out the car as fast as possible, but he just stayed there.

"Cory? Are you alright?" Shawn asked, and Cory turned to Shawn, and looked deep into his eyes.

"I can't do it," Cory said, then the two of them heard a voice from outside the car.

"And why not?" the voice said, and Cory turned around, to see his big brother, Eric.

"Eric? Why are you here?" Cory asked, and Eric smiled.

"Topanga called me and filled me in. I got here as quick as possible. Where's Feeny?" Eric asked, and Cory turned to Shawn, knowing that this would hurt Eric.

"Umm, Eric, Feeny died," Cory said, and expecting Eric to start going crazy, he was shocked by Eric's reaction.

"Oh, well anyways, why can't you see Riley?" Eric asked, and Cory turned out his head towards Shawn, then back towards Eric, before taking a deep breath.

"I'm scared. This isn't a little scared neither, this is like the day I found out scared. Or the day that I told everyone bye and moved here scared. He's escaped, Eric, and I don't know where he is," Cory said, and for once in his life, he felt like there was no one who could help him. Anytime something bad happened, Feeny could help him. There was no Feeny now.

"Mr. Matthews, do you seriously think I'm not with you? I'm going to be with you the rest of your life," a voice, Feeny's voice, rang through his head.

"Even when it feels like your not there?" Cory asked, out loud, not realizing Shawn and Eric was right there.

"Even when it feels like I'm not there. Now, you won't be able to hear my voice, but anytime you feel helpless, just remember I'm here," Mr. Feeny's voice said, then suddenly Cory knew that he wasn't going to be speaking to him anytime soon, not right now at least.

"You've always been there," Cory said, before realizing that his brother and best friend were giving him weird looks.

"I am going to put you in a mental hospital," Eric said, and Cory rolled his eyes.

"It's just- Y'all wouldn't understand," Cory said, and Shawn smiled.

"I bet we wouldn't, anyways, lets go see Riley," Shawn said, and they walked towards the hospital. Then once they walked in, Cory immediately found Topanga, his parents, and Maya.

"Hey," he said, and Topanga grabbed his neck, with tears in her eyes.

"We almost lost her, Cory, we almost lost her," Topanga said, and they hugged for about five minutes, and then Cory heard his son's voice.

"Daddy, everything is going to be okay," Auggie said, and Cory smiled. He knew the cops were going to get Seth, and that he had his daughter.

"Yes, Auggie, everything will," Cory said, with a smile on his face, then his phone rang.

"Hello?" Cory said through his phone, it was Officer Musty, Seth had been found and killed.

"Thank you so much," Cory said, before hanging up, and turning to his family, "Justice was served today. Feeny is dead, but the person who almost killed my daughter is dead too."

"Everything is okay, and it always will be," Mrs. Matthews said, and then Maya looked up at Cory.

"Hey, um, Mr. Matthews? Can I talk to you for a second?" Maya said, and Cory looked at her.

"Come on," Cory said, grabbing Maya's hand, and then leading her away from the others.

"Is Riley going to be okay?" Maya asked, and Cory looked at her.

"Of course, Maya," Cory said, with a smile, before wrapping Maya in a hug, and hearing Riley's name get called, "Let's go see Riley," Cory said, as they walked to the doctor to go see Riley.

The thing was, Riley wasn't going to be as okay as Cory thought.

Oh no, what does that last sentence mean? By the way, Seth is gone, Riley is safe, but this story is far from over. We still have Feeny's funeral, Riley's moving on from being kidnapped, and A LOT more.
