⌜ chapter eighteen ⌟
Letty walks into the kitchen at the Matthews' house and she sees Morgan eating a grilled cheese with a huge chocolate cake sitting in front of her on the table. "What's going on, kid?" The older girl asks as she shuts the door behind her.
"Cory's dying...or something." The little blonde shrugs. "The boys are in the living room." She tells her, and the older girl walks over and quietly makes her way into the room.
"No, Cory, I think you gotta hear this one." Eric tells his younger brother, his back to the brunette who just walked in.
"Alright, then tell me. As long as it doesn't have anything to do with Shawn or Topanga, I should be okay." Cory smiles, and his brother takes a deep breath.
"Okay, um... Have you ever heard the expression..." He sort of imitates Japanese as he then fakes stabbing himself in the stomach with a sword, then he falls on the couch.
"What meds is he on?" He asks as he looks at Letty, and she shakes her head.
"Actually, I think that's what meds should he be on." She tells him. "Sorry, kid, I've been busy at the bookstore since Tyler got sick."
"Alright, well, you certainly have my attention." Cory sits beside his brother on the couch, who then has to tear his gaze away from Letty.
"Cor, I saw Shawn at Chubbie's." Eric starts, and he nods. "He was there with Topanga, she seemed upset. Uh, they were hugging, and he kissed her."
"What?" Cory turns to face him as Letty stands up straight.
"He kissed her."
"What?" He gets up from the couch and starts toward the phone.
"Kissed her how?" Letty asks. "Remember after we broke up? Jason kissed my cheek, and you thought it was something that it wasn't."
"I don't know exactly, his back was to me. But he definitely kissed her." Eric says as he stands up as well and then turns to face his younger brother. "You know, normally I love telling you this stuff, but this one's killing me."
"Pick up the phone, Shawn. Are you there?" Cory asks, talking into the phone. "Pick up the phone."
"Cor, I-I know how upset you must be."
"Eric, listen, nothing happened at all, alright?" He says as he starts dialing another number, having gotten no answer at the Hunters' trailer. "You heard Scarlett. You saw something wrong." He leaves a message for Topanga, and then hangs up.
