A/N: again, i apologize for how long it's taken me to update.

DISCLAIMER: i own none of it.

Fez was waiting up for Jackie. Her note said she'd be home before dinner, so why was it almost three in the morning and she still wasn't back? Part of him was worried something had happened to her, but another part, the part that knew her, knew she was somewhere else

When she walked in the door, she was sopping wet and looking at the floor.

"Well, well, well," Fez said, "And just where have you been young lady?"

"I was with…Donna," she said, still not looking at him as she hung her wet purse on the coat rack by the door, "And Eric," she added, "Yeah, we were, um, getting drinks. I called Donna to tell her about our engagement and she wanted to celebrate. I guess I lost track of time," she shrugged and began to walk to her bedroom.

"That is very funny because I called Donna right when I got home and she said she had not heard from you all day!" Fez said, stopping Jackie in her tracks.

She turned around slowly, and began to say something, but Fez cut her off.

"Do not lie to me, I know you were not where you said you were!" He yelled.

Jackie gave him one of her looks, as if to say "how dare you not believe me," and then she said, "How dare you not believe me! That lumberjack is probably lying because I got engaged before she did! She's always been jealous of my effortless good looks."

"Well judging by the amount of mascara running down your face, they aren't as effortless as you like people to believe." Fez said.

Jackie gasped.

"I don't have to take this!" She yelled.

"Oh, you will take it as long as you continue to lie to me! Now just tell me where you were!"

"I told you, I was getting drinks!" Jackie insisted. "I wasn't with Donna, I was by myself, and I drank too much and passed out and the next thing I know it's two in the morning."

"Oh," Fez said, "Okay then. Why did you not just say that?"

Fez walked over to where Jackie was and put his arm around her, but she shrugged away.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"It's just," she started, then sighed, looking down at her left ring finger at the glittering diamond. She pulled it off and handed it to him.

"Wha-?" Fez asked, but Jackie put her finger over his lips to silence him.

"I know that we're young, and I know that you may love me, but I just can't be with you like this anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Fez asked, really close to hysterics. He honestly had no idea what she was trying to say.

"I mean I can't marry you," she said, looking sad.

"Why not? I love you!"

"I don't even know your name, Fez!" She said, "I've known you for who knows how long, and I've never known your real name! I mean what is it? Alejandro? Fernando? Roberto? I have no clue!"

"Jackie, I'll tell you my real name, if that's what you want!"

He tried to reach for her but she backed away.

"No, Fez. You know that I love you, you're hot like Mexico," Fez smiled at that, but his smile faded fast when she said, "But at this point I've gotta choose, and I really feel like I've got nothing to lose."

"Jackie!" Fez called, "Babe!"

"Don't call my name, Fez, I'm not your babe."

"Yes you are," he said, trying to kiss her, to touch her, but she just pushed him away.

"I don't want you to kiss or touch me, just hush," she said.

She tried to get away, but Fez grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Stop, please," she begged, "Just let me go. Fez, just let me go." So he did what she asked and let her go. She ran to her room, slammed the door and locked it.

Fez banged on the door, calling her name. She wasn't broken, Fez realized, but she was just a baby.

"Jackie, what did I do?" He finally screamed through the door.

"It's nothing," she said, coming out of her room with a suitcase in her hand. "But you're just like a dad, too controlling and you treat me like I can't take care of myself, but I can!"

She walked to the door, and just before she opened, she turned and said, "I'll be back in a couple of days for the rest of my things."

As she shut the door behind her, Fez's world went up in flames before him. It was right then and there that he decided he was going to fight that fire, cool the bad, and win Jackie back, no matter what it took.

reviewwwwwwwww :)
