Can I Trust You With My Heart?

Chapter 15

Back in the States- Philadelphia

After they spent the new year day with Sgt. Moore, Cory and Angela got on the first available flight back home. After the long trip, they were greeted at the airport by Allen, Amy, Morgan, Eric, Jack, baby Joshua, Rachel, and Mr. and Mrs. Feeny. Needless to say there was plenty of celebrating to catch up on and do. By the time school got back in, they all were partied out. Eric, Rachel, and Jack went from newly graduated to leaving for Jack's old home state to start work on the new company.

Morgan was busy with high school and Allen and Amy had their hands fully with baby Joshua learning how to sit up then walk then getting into everything. While Cory and Angela moved back into their old dorm suite and got ready to finish up their sophomore year of college.

By junior year, Cory and Angela had aced through most of their classes, taking summer courses as well. Joshua was wearing Amy and Allen out as they secretly loved still having a little one in the house since Morgan was a sophmore in high school and soon she'd follow the path of her older brothers.

That summer, Mrs. Feeny quit as Dean of the college and Mr. Feeny followed suit, quitting his position as teacher. They both decided to travel the world before they get too old to do so. Cory was heart broken that his most favorite teacher in the world wouldn't be around to teach any future children he had. Or even teach Joshua.

Cory stood with Angela outside the Feeny's driveway as they packed the last of their stuff. "You have one Matthews to go, Mr. Feeny . A few more if I get to have a kid or two with Angela." Cory said to his mentor. "Ah, yes Mr. Matthews. Young Joshua. And your little future Matthews. Well, All good things must come to an end, Mr. Matthews." Mr. Feeny stated. "But know that I would love to visit you whenever we get a chance." He said as he place a hand on Cory's shoulder. "Yes, all good things."Cory repeated some of the sentiment. "Good luck, Mr. Feeny. Mrs. Feeny." Cory said with a smile. Mr. Feeny hugged him then Angela as Cory kept a brave face.

"Good luck." Angela repeated as she moved in to hug them both. "Oh, you too dear." Mrs. Feeny said to them as she hugged them both as well. "We'll see you for your graduation." Mr.Feeny said as they got into their car. "This isn't the end, Mr. Matthews. Only the beginning." He yelled to Cory as they all waved good bye before driving off into the distance. Cory just held Angela tight as he looked down the road, not be able to see them anymore. "You'll see them again, Cory. We got graduation then our wedding." She reminded him as she glanced up at him with affection. Cory looked down at her as he gave a small smirk. "Yeah, we do Angel. Yeah, we do."

Senior year was a blur as they got through each semester while Cory and Angel started to plan out their wedding. They had decided on a year after graduation since they were swamped with work and school and couldn't slow down enough to find time. Morgan was a Junior now with a steady boyfriend that Allen kept a tight watch on. Jack, Eric, and Rachel's business was thriving well and kept them very busy, but not too busy for fun, family, friends, and life.

Mr. and Mrs. Feeny sent post cards and video cards to everyone about their travels. They even got to visit Sgt. Alvin Moore for a while as they loved the experience of visiting the base as well as the rest of Italy. Joshua was finally talking and walking as Amy kept him busy with lots of activites ,since he was a ball of energy.

Graduation day

Finally the day had come. Graduation. Cory and Angela got to sit next to each other since their last names both started with M. "I can't believe we finally made it!" Angela whispered to Cory as she squirmed with excitement in her seat. "Yeah, me too. Especially making it together. I love you, Angel." He smiled at her as they leaned their forehead together.
