Everybody Loves Casey

~He is my Romeo.~

I was standing in the middle of the Forman's driveway while they were having their barbecue, arguing with Hyde. Again. It seemed like all we did was fight, just like Eric and Donna did before they broke up. And I really didn't want to end up like them.

"God, what the hell is your problem?" Hyde cried, angrily and I threw my hot dog on the floor.

"I don't wanna fucking look at you right now!" I snapped and turned on my heel.

"Good! Same here!" he called after me and I flipped him off over my shoulder before stomping away. I was about to leave the Forman property when I ran into Casey and Donna.

"Donna," I said, uneasily and she smiled at me.

"Hey, Sarah. What's up?"

"Are you-you're not mad anymore?" I asked, dumbfounded and Donna smiled and shook her head.

"Nah. I mean, I had a long time to think about it, and-while what you did was horrible-I don't want to lose my best friend over an ex-boyfriend." She glanced at Casey when she said 'ex-boyfriend'. "And it's not like I was perfect in our relationship, either. I kissed Fez when I was pretending to be his girlfriend.

"If you think about it, Eric and I were just as bad as Kelso and Jackie, and I really don't think that he and I are going to get back together."

I just stared at Donna, and then looked at Casey, who had his arm thrown around her shoulder. He doesn't love her, I thought, numbly. Not like she loves him. Eric loves her. Can't she see that?

"That's-that's so great that you forgive me, D. But...can I talk to you alone for a minute?" I asked.

"Sure," Donna replied and gave Casey a quick kiss before I led her to her front yard.

"Donna...you don't really think that you and Eric are never going to get back together, do you?" I asked.

"Uhh...yeah, I do. I mean, we cheated on each other. We're just like-"

"No!" I cut her off. "You're not like Kelso and Jackie! What you and Eric had...and what me and Hyde have, that's real. Kelso and Jackie will never last, just like you and Casey will never last." Donna looked shocked and then hurt and then pissed in a matter of seconds.

"Hey, hold on a second, Sarah. You don't know that me and Casey will never last!" she cried, angrily and I sighed.

"Yes, I do! He's Casey Kelso. Do you remember when we were fourteen and you, me, Eric, and Hyde all went back to Kelso's house to get popsicles and Casey was there with his girlfriend? And you were all disgusted and said, 'What kind of girl with a low self-esteem would ever go out with Casey? Doesn't she know he's just using her?'. Well, that girl is you now, Donna!"

"Casey's different-"

"No, he really isn't, Donna," I interrupted again. "Eric was drunk when he and I slept together. And anything you did with Fez doesn't count... You two are nothing like Kelso and Jackie, and if you guys got back together, you could really last. I don't care if you get mad at me for this...but don't rule out any chances of you and Eric getting back together because of Casey Kelso."

That was when I actually left.
