Author's Note: Hello all. Thank you for the kind comments. I did see the challenge and got so excited to write about it that I wrote it and then published it. I did send a PM to the person who wrote the challenge and the other story. I realized that there were two after I had published but they did say they were going to read mine. There's was a one shot and, as you can tell, this will be a multi-chapter one. Probably 7 or 8 chapters total. Depending on how much J/E is fitted into the chapters.

I Got the Boy
Chapter Two
The Fight

It was quiet. Eerily quiet. Nothing like hustle and bustle of what she considered her new home. She could hear her heart beating in her ears. Why was she so nervous?

As the cab driver removed the last piece of her luggage from the trunk, she paid him and thanked him. The sound of the yellow vehicle helped calm her. You want to be here, she thought. Or that was what she wanted to convince herself. But, maybe that didn't need much convincing. She did want to come back to Point Place after learning her best friend and ex had decided to get hitched. Ex. Ex best friend. Ex boyfriend. She had to keep reminding herself of that. And then she needed to remind herself of why.

Flash Back

Eric's return had meant a beautiful reunion between the former lovers. Although Donna had planned on going back to school, she didn't see the harm in trying to stay a little bit longer. Just so they could bond. Every second together was listening and learning about their time apart. As they listened to each other's stories and tried going back to what they were, they knew that their lives couldn't be spent in yesterday's dreams.

She went to school, visiting on the weekends when she could. It started out being every weekend, but as the semester's ran their course she was lucky to visit once a month. She had put off school for so long and couldn't risk falling behind in her courses. And half the time she didn't seem to mind not coming home. Her course load had reignited her desire for learning and loved being around people of similar interests.

Eric needed to finish his teaching career. He had been focusing his energy on trying to finish what he needed to be able to start up his teaching, spending time with an emotional mother who didn't want him to be gone for longer than a day and jugging being back in Point Place.

And then November came.

It was the 11th of November. It had been cold. The Forman house was getting prepared for Thanksgiving. Eric was looking forward to Donna's Thanksgiving break where they could function as a somewhat normal couple like they were. But he wasn't expecting her to come back a week or so earlier than usual.

They met at the park. That should have been the first sign of what could come.

"Hey Donna," Eric warmly greeted his girlfriend. His hands stayed in his pocket to keep warm, his lips going in for the kiss, only to be met with her turning her head and kissing her cheek.

Donna couldn't make eye contact, shuffling in a circular motion.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm late."

She didn't want to risk looking at him. She had already been freaking out enough. She didn't need to stress about him stressing out. After what seemed like forever to her, she heard him chuckle. Using all the courage she could muster, her eyes left the squirrel she had been studying and their eyes met. She could see a smile on his face.

"Eric. This is serious. WHY are you laughing?"

"Because…" he started, his joy turning to confusion, "… Because, this isn't something to be… Upset about? Why are you upset?"

"Eric." She sternly said, stomping her left foot on the ground.

"How the hell are we supposed to support a child? My god, you aren't even out of your mom's house. We aren't done with school. Eric, I can't raise a child and go to school. How could you even be happy about this?"

"Woah, Donna, calm down. This isn't like when we were teenagers. Sure, we might not be done with school but we can find a way. I'm sure my mom can help us and-"

"Oh that's great. And what? I'll just take it to class with me? Oh no. I bet maybe we can trade the kid every other day. This isn't the best situation to raise a child. And I won't do it."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

If she had been cold, she wasn't anymore. Now she was pacing back and forth in the park. How could he not see how unprepared they were for this? And, more importantly, how could they been so careless to let this happen. She was going to be stuck in Point Place forever. Eric didn't change. Her never will.

She could see the worry and fear in his face, but she didn't care. He was being stupid.

"Figure it out."

And with that, she turned on her heels and left. Donna's head was swirling with emotions.

Anger. Heart break. Rage. Confusion. It consumed her.

She could hear him calling after her. At some point he had stopped in front of her. She could hear him pleading to reason with her. "No!" she shouted, going back and forth with him. What their points were or what they were shouting at, they both weren't sure. They had to get their points in.

She wasn't going to talk this over. She wasn't going to get swept up in this, her future had to come first. She couldn't let him do this. And before she knew it, her hand had made a connection with his face.

They're shouting had ceased. Her anger quickly subsided to regret and guilt.

"oh my god, Eric, I'm so sorry." She whispered. Her left hand clasped her right hand, trying to contain the beast. Her eyes were wide. "I didn't mean to do that, "she started, "Eric. I am so sorry."

Eric stood there, the red head who was once burning like a candle was now standing before him with no more spark. She was as shocked as he was. But the message was clear. Or to Donna it was.

Eric raised his index finger, his mouth ready to speak. But the words couldn't come. Before they could get any further, she left. No turning back.

She only contacted him once, a week later to confirm Aunt Flo had come. And she never heard from him again.

End of Flashback

Jackie stood at the window of her fiance's room. The red-headed woman who she had missed for years and filled her thoughts all night was finally here. She had been trying to reach her for three years. Ever since Eric and her had their first kiss. But she never answered. Although she had been ignored all those years of dating, and then some, she still wanted her former best friend back. This was a big moment in her life. Everyone had to come. And yet, here she was and all she could feel was nausea.

Kitty had convinced Donna to stay the first night at the Forman residence. Laurie's room was free (it always was) and Jackie and Eric were spending their time in Eric's old room as their house was being remodeled. Hyde had even gave in to Kitty's demands of staying in the basement. It was almost like it had been all those years ago.

Jackie checked her hair and make up in the mirror before rushing downstairs to greet Donna.
