Cory was really pissed at Topanga about saying they would go to dinner, but he was even more upset with Emily. He was literally it shock. He felt like he couldn't move his body, it was as if he was paralyzed. He decided that he wasn't ready to go back to the apartment and see his soon to be ex-wife. So he decided to go to Maya's and tell her what happened. It was pouring down rain outside and he didn't have an umbrella. Luckily he had his car keys. When he made it so his car he was sopping wet, but that didn't matter right now he just had to get away from this building before he had a heart attack.

He drove to the not so great part of New York, or as some people call it Maya's neighborhood. Cory parked his Lexus on the side of the rode and went into Maya's apartment building. Unlike Cory's, Maya's building didn't have an elevator. So he had to climb like 4 flights of steps.

He felt like he was going to pass out by the time he made it to her apartment. He frantically knocked on the door, hoping that Maya would answer. As he was knocking he remembered something, Riley was here! "Crap!" he thought to himself. The door immediately opened and Riley stood in the threshold. "Dad what are you doing here?" She asked. "Umm… I'm here to pick you up." Cory replied. "Oh, you don't usually pick me up though." She said as Cory made his way into the apartment.

Cory tried to look for Maya when Riley wasn't looking. "So, where's Maya?" Cory asked. "Oh she's in her room, why do you care?" Riley replied in a sassy tone. "You're not getting an attitude with me, right?" Cory said to her. Riley rolled her eyes and didn't reply. "Aren't you going to answer your father?" Cory asked starting to get angry. "I don't have to answer to that if I don't want to." Riley snapped back. "You don't ever talk to your father like that!" Cory yelled. "Ugh I hate you!" Riley screamed before she stomped out of the apartment. "Whoa, what the heck has gotten into her?" Cory thought to himself.

"Maya!" Cory called out. Even though he needed to talk to Riley, he desperately needed to talk to Maya. She came out of the bathroom; her face had mascara running down her cheeks. She was shaking and holding something in her hand. "Maya what's wrong?" Cory asked concerned. She handed him the object in her hand and then slowly sat on the couch. It was the cell phone Cory had given Maya. "Why did you give me this?" he asked her. "Look at the screen." She said quietly.

Emily: Riley is my best friend and always will be, and even if she thinks of crawling back to you I have something you hoped would never get out…. Until now! Xoxo Emily

Underneath the text was a picture; a picture of Maya kissing Lucas. Cory's eyes grew wide. He wasn't sure who he should be madder at right now. Riley for saying she hated him, Emily for torturing him, or Maya for kissing a guy and that guy being his ONLY daughters crush. "Mr. Matthews, just please hear me out it's not what you think." Maya said. "Not what I think! I think you just kissed my daughters crush!" Cory yelled. "I didn't really kiss him, I was at school and I tripped and he caught me. Our lips were literally a centimeter from toughing. When he was leaning down to get my books our lips touched, on accident. It lasted almost less than I second, I promise!" Maya told him. Cory bit his lip and then sat next to Maya on the small couch. "I know you would never do anything to hurt Riley on purpose." Cory said as he put his hand on her knee. "Then why did you just get so upset?" she asked.

"Maya I have much bigger issues than that kiss right now; my whole life is turning upside down. I'm gonna lose my wife and my daughter, to some little girl." Cory told her. "What are you talking about; you would never lose Riley or Mrs. Matthews." Maya told him. "Yea well according to Emily, once Topanga see David she's going to forget all about me and… divorce me." Cory said as he put his face into his hands. "When did she tell you that?" Maya asked. "When we were in the elevator, that's why I came over here. She told me that Topanga was going to leave me and that Riley was going to leave you too. And there's nothing we can do about it." Cory told her. "There is got to be something we can do, I won't let that happen!" Maya said to him. "Yea well there isn't anything we can do, I've got to go Maya enjoy Riley while you've got her."He said as he walked out of the apartment.

Maya ran up behind him and pulled him into a tight embrace. She cried into his shirt. He kissed the crown of her head and said "I'm gonna miss you Maya Hart." "I'm going to miss you too." Maya said in between sobs.

They eventually pulled away without saying another word. Cory soon made it back to his apartment. He would very shortly have to face Riley and Topanga; 2 of the three most important girls in his life.

When he walked in Riley was sitting on the couch crying into Topanga's shirt while Topanga held her in her arms. Topanga had this furious look on her face. She mouthed something to him and then gave him the evil eye. "It's ok sweetheart, mommy's here." She told Riley as she patted her back. Riley turned her head and stared at Cory; she slowly rose from the couch and went over to him. "I thought I was your daughter!" she said as tears streamed down her face. He tried to reach for her hand but she ran away too quickly. She slammed her bedroom door and then Topanga slammed Cory's face. "Owww, what the heck did you do that for!" he yelled out as he held his cheek. "How on earth could you tell our daughter you hated her!" Topanga shot back. "I didn't she told me she hated me, she lied to you!" Cory told her as he made his way to the kitchen to get some ice. "Riley would never lie, and that's not the only thing you did." She told him. "What else did I do?" Cory asked. "You've been spending so much time with Maya that you don't even notice your real daughter!" she yelled.

"She's been having issues and she wanted to come to you but couldn't because you've been missing all day!" Topanga told him. "Ok let's get something straight, she's the one who's been lying to you, she's the one who's been missing all day, and maybe if she hadn't of run off with that Emily kid I wouldn't have been over at Maya's house trying to comfort her because she didn't have a best friend anymore! And you would have known what's really been going on if you just would have listened to me instead of making me walk that devil child out of the building!" Cory screamed. "So that's what's this is about! Emily is not hurting anything; you're just a crazy lunatic!" Topanga snapped at him.

"When you're ready to apologize to me and Riley, I'll be in our room and she will be in hers. But as of right now, have fun on the couch." She yelled as she threw a pillow at him. She stomped up the stairs not saying another word to Cory.

He slumped down into the couch and then he threw his phone at the wall. His lock screen flickered on and off of the picture of him and Topanga. After a few moments the phone went off.

It was official the phone was broken; and so was Cory.
