When Jackie, Kelso and Hyde got back to Point Place, the parked in the Foreman's driveway and Jackie helped Kelso out of the car. Kitty saw them when they parked so she ran outside and embraced Hyde in a tight fierce hug.

"Oh Steven I missed you so much! How dare you take off like that without telling me."

"I figured Red would tell you."

"Well he did, but that's not the point! My son Eric decided to up and leave me for Africa and the same day my other son runs off to
Chicago for some girl." She noticed Jackie and smiled sweetly at her. "Oh…Jackie…I didn't see you there."

"Hi Mrs. Foreman…"

"Good God Michael! What happened to your leg?"

"Oh Jackie and I got in a car accident on the way to Chicago."

"And no one bothered to call and tell me? Why have I been wasting my time taking care of you all if no one cares about me!"

"Mrs. Foreman…we just didn't want to worry you." Jackie said. "Were fine."

"Did you break anything?"

"No I'm fine."

"She just had some whiplash and got the wind knocked out of her but my baby is fine now." Hyde said pulling Jackie close and kissing her head.

"Oh so you two are back together?" Kitty asked.

"Yep were back together." He smiled at Jackie and she tried to smile back.

Fez, Donna and Red saw them and walked over to where they were all standing.

"Hey assholes." Donna said.

"Gee big Red it's good to see you too." Hyde said.

"Well did you really expect me to be nice? You guys up and left me alone here after Eric left, God…you guys suck."

"Donna I was here." Fez said.

"Yeah, yeah whatever."

"Sorry." The three of them muttered.

"So Jackie…Fez and Donna told us you got a job offer in New York City! How exiting!" Kitty said with a bright smile.

Jackie's heart plummeted to her feet and she looked at Hyde who looked both shocked and devastated. "What? You got a job offer in New York City? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Um…I just found out I was sort of waiting for the right time."

"The right time? When would that have been? When you were boarding the plane?"

"Steven just…let's not do this here ok?" Jackie asked pleading with him.

"Oh no…I think I ruined something." Kitty said.

"Alright, alright everyone shows over." Red said. "Let's go inside and leave these two alone so they can talk."

They all went inside except for Fez and Hyde stared angrily at him. "Get out of here man."

"I need to speak with Jackie."

"Yeah well so do I, so just go away."

"No I don't think I will Hyde…Jackie needs to see something."

"Fez…don't. Steven come with me."

She took Hyde's hand and led him over to Donna's house and into her old room that she shared with Donna. She shut the door behind them and turned to Steven not sure of where to start, but she didn't have time to say anything. Hyde started yelling causing her to jump back in fear.

"So that's it then? Your just gonna run off to New York City without telling me?"

"Steven-"

"No what the fuck Jackie? Is this why you were acting so distant before we left…you were feeling guilty about fucking me and then leaving me?"

"Steven-"

"This will be the second time you left me, God how could I be so stupid to think a rich girl like you would love me?"

"No Steven! How could I be so stupid to think that you would love me!?"

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"When Fez told me I got the job in New York, he also told me that he found another girls number and lipstick kiss on a piece of paper in your room. Does the name Samantha ring a bell?" She asked hands on hips.

"Jackie…"

"Yeah…so who is the one hiding things now?"

"Were talking about New York right now! Not Sam!"

"No I'm talking about Sam…wait oh so you have a little nickname for her? Tell me Steven…how long did it take for you to sleep with her after I left?"

"I didn't sleep with her." He whispered.

"Then who the fuck is she? And why didn't you tell me about her?"

"She's just some girl that I met at a bar after you left…we just…we uh…"

"You what? What did you do with her?"

"We just hooked up…"

"In what sense? What did you two do?"

"She gave me a blow job…and I fingered her."

"You're a pig did you know that? I wasn't even gone for a week, barley even a day and you hook up with the first thing with boobs that walks in front of you."

"Jackie it didn't mean anything…I was drunk."

"Where have I heard that before?"

"The nurse thing was different Jackie."

"Why because you actually slept with her?"

"Jackie look I'm sorry ok. Just please don't go."

"No I'm' going Steven…what do I have here that would make me stay?"

"Me!"

"I'm not so sure you're worth missing out on this job anymore Steven…"

"Jackie…don' say that."

"If it didn't mean anything to you…then why did you hide it from me?"

"I just didn't want to upset you."

"So you were never ever going to tell me about her?"

"Jackie…"

"Answer the question Steven."

"I don' know…"

"Ahhh…my three least favorite words in the English language. You never know Steven."

"I'm sorry…I just…please don't go."

"Steven if you could hide this from me…I don't know what else you could be hiding from me. I just don't think I can trust you."

"Please baby…give me another chance."

"I already gave you another chance with the nurse Steven…and it looks like you blew it."

"But this is different, you had left."

"I know I did…but you could have told me about it, but you didn't, you hid it from me and then pretended that you wanted me."

"I wasn't pretending. I do want you. You know I do."

"I don't know anything anymore Steven…I'm starting to think I don't know you at all."

"Jackie…come on. It was a stupid mistake, I was drunk-"

"Being drunk can't be an excuse for everything Steven…life doesn't work that way."

"Please…"

"I'm sorry…I'm going to New York."

"Why do you always run away when things don't go your way?"

"Steven don't…you do the same thing."

"But I'm learning, I know that's not the way to fix things."

"You act like you're a saint Steven, like you've never given up on us when we both know you have."

"Like when?"

"Like when you didn't try harder to win me back after the nurse incident, you let me go, you stopped trying to win me back. You gave up."

"You said you chose you."

"Because I didn't trust you…and you didn't seem to care so much anymore."

"Jackie…god damn it what do you want from me?"

"Nothing Steven…I don't want anything from you anymore. I'm tired…"

"What does that mean?"
"It means I'm tired of worrying about weather you love me or not, I'm tired of feeling unsure about us. I'm tired of crying over you, and being angry and fighting. I'm just tired Steven…I'm tired, and I'm done. I'm sorry…but I'm done."

"So that's it then? You're going to New York."

"Yes."

"There's nothing I can do to change your mind."

"I don't think so Steven…not this time."

"Please…I know I should have told you but…"

"No I'm sorry. I can't, not this time Steven, I can't forgive you this time."

"Jackie if you go, if you leave me again, I'm not going to come after you like I did before, we'll be done for good."

"Well then I guess were done for good then."

Hyde's heart felt like it had literally split in half, he looked at Jackie's serious and stern face and he knew there was nothing he could do to change his mind. Part of him was proud of her sticking up for herself, and doing something for herself. But…it killed him to know that once again he had screwed up, and he wasn't so sure if he could make up for his mistakes this time. He sighed and took off his sunglasses, rubbing his eyes feeling tired and defeated.

"Well…then…I hope that you find whatever it is you're looking for in New York."

"Thank you…and I hope that you find happiness Steven."

"You too. So…I guess that's it then."

"I guess that's it."

"Goodbye Jackie."

"Goodbye Steven."

He leaned forward and kissed her cheek gently and the tears welled up in her eyes. He lingered there for a moment before whispering in her ear. "I'm sorry…and just so you know…I'll always love you. No matter where you are, I'll always love you. No one else but you." He kissed her cheek again and then brushed past her to go back to the Foreman's.

Jackie put her hand to her mouth and let the sobs escape her mouth; she collapsed onto her old cot and cried until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Donna standing next to the cot. Jackie sat up and Donna sat down and let Jackie lean against her shoulder and cry.

"Fez told me about that Sam girl…are you ok?"

"If he hadn't of lied about her, I wouldn't go to New York. I would stay here and be with him…but I can't."

"I know…and I understand. I really do."

"It's just…I can't trust him anymore…I can't always worry about what he's doing or who he's doing it with…I just can't."

"I know…"

"I really wanted him to be the one…in fact I'm pretty sure he is the one."

"I'm pretty sure he is the one for you too…but I think your right in leaving. You need to get away; you need to do this for yourself."

"Why does love have to hurt so much?"

"I'm not sure…"

"God look at me…I'm a mess…and you probably need to vent too. How are you? Are you ok?"

"I miss Eric…but I talked to him last night."

"So are you staying together?"

"For now…"

"I'm sure it will work out, you and Eric are meant to be."

"Well then if you and Hyde are meant to be…than you'll find a way to be together eventually too."

"I don't think so Donna…not this time. Steven said if I leave then he won't come after me, that will be it."

"Yeah but you can't predict the future Jackie. I mean…what if you guys run into each other ten years from now…maybe you'll be together again someday."

"He said he'd always love me…"

"And I believe that…I really do."

"I do too…but I just can't…God why does this have to be so hard? Why can't it just work out? And why do people have to lie?"

"I don't know…but we should do something. You're leaving in a few days and you can't sit around here and mop until then."

"Your right…what do you want to do?"

"Let's go out dancing!"

"Really?! You want to go dancing?"

"Yeah why the hell not. We can take Fez with us."

"Sounds great."

"Yeah were two smoking hot woman and we deserve to have fun, not mop around about our stupid men."

"Your right Donna, lets do it!"

Jackie and Donna got ready and called Fez, and drove off to go dancing all night. They both had fun but when they got home, Jackie cried herself to sleep. She was scared, she was scared of her future without Steven…but she also knew she had to do this. She just hoped she wouldn't regret it in ten years…
