A/N: So sorry it has taken me ages to update. I hope you enjoy this though!


The next day I decided to go over to the Foreman's. I knew things weren't going to go well between Eric and I. I had barely explained anything to him yesterday. And of course I was right. Eric didn't even acknowledge me, Fez glared at me, Kelso looked confused, and Hyde looked, well he looked Hyde.

"What are you doing here?" Eric asked in a disgusted tone. He was acting a lot harsher than I expected.

"I came over to hang out with my friends," I told him, "you're still my friend right?"

"I don't know Donna," he said just as Jackie walked in.

We made brief eye contact, but both looked away and tried acting normal. You could feel the awkward in the air between Eric and myself. I knew she could feel it as well as everyone else in the room. I decided that maybe I should go.

"Kelso, I'm breaking up with you," Jackie said before I got the chance to even move a muscle. "I'll see you all later." She left and Kelso just stared blankly after her.

"Um, I should go," I said walking past Eric towards the door, but he grabbed my arm to stop me.

"Can we please talk about this?" he asked.

"I'm sorry Eric, but there's nothing to talk about," I told him as I walked away.

Once I was outside I saw Jackie walking down the street. I ran to catch up with her and found tears rolling down her beautiful face. I was shocked, she looked so put together in Eric's basement.

"What's wrong?" I asked, stopping her by pulling her into a hug.

"I didn't think it would be that hard to break up with him," she told me.

"Are you having second thoughts?" I asked, she had seemed so sure of herself yesterday and she had convinced me to go through with everything.

"No, I just still have some lingering feelings."

"I know," I sighed. "It's hard to be around Eric. I hate how I hurt him, and I know that I could have loved him if I had given it time."

"Then why didn't you stay? We could have avoided this," she sounded a little mad.

"I know, but you convinced me, I want to be with you not Eric."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" I pulled her into a kiss right in the middle of the street. What more could I do to convince her?

"DONNA!" she scolded me, "Someone could see us!"

"To tell you the truth I don't give a damn," I told her. "If anyone has a problem they can take it somewhere else."

"Still, I don't want people to know yet, can you keep it a secret for me?" she batted her eyelashes at me.

"Yeah, I'll do it for you," I said giving her a playful shove.

Later that night I was at Jackie's and we were curled up on her couch watching TV. I loved being near her. Since her parents were never home we could hold hands and kiss openly. It was nice not having to worry about if someone saw us or cared. The only people there were the staff, and they knew if they even thought of telling anybody she would have them fired and they would never work again. It was a bit harsh, but it was what she had to do to keep our secret.

It was getting late and we made our way into her room to go to bed. She pulled on a simple silk nightie and I was just in a long t-shirt. Her bed was big, but we cuddled up and barely took up any space. We were making out and exploring each other's bodies when her finger looped through the side of my panties. I instantly tensed up.

"Are you okay?" she whispered.

"Yeah, it's just that I've only had sex once and I'm still really nervous," I explained.

"It's okay, we'll go slow," she said kissing me again.

It felt weird to be vulnerable with Jackie. She seemed like she would be the one who needed protecting, and was less experienced, but it was actually me. With Eric I had felt like I had needed to take charge, to prove that I could do it. Now I was just letting me feelings guide me.
