Point Place, Wisconsin
November 24th, 1976

The Bus Station

The bus was disgusting and it had the most horrible smell that I didn't even want to know what it was. It was freezing as I sat here and I regretted that I did because I should've had my family's limo take me back home. But I was never on the city bus before. My parents never made my little sister or I, but I always wanted to. Now, I understood their reasons. My mother didn't want herself or her children to sit with the homeless and the poor on the bus.

The bus was infested with germs. Ugh, I couldn't wait when I'm at home to have a nice hot shower. And there was a woman across from me who totally had a fake Gucci handbag. Who was she fooling? She probably dumpster dived for it. Poor thing.

Time passed and it was just about ten minutes left until we arrived at the bus station. Pretty soon, I was about to meet my family.

It gave me mixed feelings to see them again, but I was only happy to see one person who meant the world to me.

My little sister, Jackie. She was fifteen. Three years younger than me.

While I was in college, I mostly talked to her on the phone a lot because our parents would be away and she'd be stuck in that big mansion all by herself. Our father was a workaholic and our mother always took unnecessary vacations. She'd just drink when she return home. Both of our parents was neglectful and was way too absorbed with their lives. My mother would put her beliefs in Jackie's head and formed her into the person she was today. It wasn't a problem I saw until a friend of mine from Psychology class said that my mother was controlling and might even have narcissistic behavior. But I didn't fully understand the gibberish she said and denied it.

It wasn't a happy home that we always tried so hard to portray to the public. My father was a lawyer and head of the councilman. We had to keep up the appearance of a happy family. It got sickening and old after a while. But Jackie loved the attention since she was the youngest. At times, I thought even she could see through the façade.

What was worse on this bus ride was that I'm sitting with Laurie Forman and her best friend. The ditzy airhead Kate McGwire. I didn't know what Laurie saw in Kate to befriend her. They're both totally different people. But they're both sex craved. So that's similar. No surprise there.

As for Laurie and I, let's just say...we didn't have the best history. That's all. We could barely tolerate each other. But it's been better than it was before. We're talking at least so that's a plus.

"So, Robert, I'm going to be staying over at Laurie's," Kate was obviously flirting with me. She sat in between Laurie and I. "If you're bored or whatever, you know where to find me."

"Uh, no thanks." I knew what she implied. I rather not be in the middle of that drama between Laurie and Kate. I swear I saw Laurie's eyes sending Kate daggers, but she acted like the flirting didn't bother her.

Kate frowned, looking rejected and Laurie smirked. An evil and devilish smirk that I knew too well.

"Don't worry, Kate, Rob doesn't need to have you, anyway," Laurie said in a fake and sweet sympathetic voice. "He has loads of money, he can just get women by buying them."

I knew I shouldn't let Laurie's words get to me, but it always did. We fought most of the time and her words can be scathing and deadly like a sword to the chest.

"Oh, like how you can get your way to pass classes by dating a professor?" I snapped to her.

It was something I wished was a rumor. That just didn't sound like the Laurie Forman I used to know. But when I heard more about it from her close friends, I knew it was true.

She glared at me. A familiar expression I saw more than once from her.

"That's totally different."

"Eh, is it really?" I asked sarcastically, cocking my head to the side in doubt.

Her cold, icy blue eyes narrowed down to me.

"What will Red say when he finds out what his 'little girl' has been up to?" I teased.

"What will your Mommy and Daddy say about you that you don't want to be a lawyer?" Laurie countered.

I rolled my eyes. "They already know anyway so it doesn't matter. They gave me a gift to keep my mouth shut and just suck it up."

"What was it?" Kate asked with interest, batting her eyes at me.

I answered her question anyway because I was quite proud of the gift.

"A Trans Am." I bragged which made Kate's eyes beamed.

That was a total chick magnet car.

"Wow...that's like so hot."

Laurie rolled her eyes in disgust and it was my turn to smirk at her.

"I bet you look like...Robby Benson driving in the Trans Am or, like, Randy Mantooth or even Jim Morrison."

Laurie gave her a look and even I could see the hint of annoyance on her face.

"Jim Morrison is dead." She bluntly corrected, grumbling.

Later we had finally arrived at the Point Place Bus Station. It was about time, too. No doubt I got plagued with pneumonia because of the icy weather. The bus stopped at the station and everyone filed out and rushed to their cars so they could heat it up and get warm. Laurie, Kate, and I grabbed hold of our suitcases.

"Well, bye, Robert!" She sang in a soft voice while Laurie grabbed her arm and hauled her over to her family.

I just rolled my eyes at those two and went to find my driver. My father said that he would be the one to pick me up. Of course, it could never be my own parents. I knew it feels like the North Pole out here, but still. It'd be nice to have a family like Laurie's who waited for you.

My eyes spotted the driver who approached to me all bundled up in his coat.

"Hello, Robert. Glad you made it here safely. I can take your suitcases for you if you'd like." The limousine driver said, holding his hand and I gave my suitcases and bags to him.

"Thank you." I said and followed him to the black limo. He put my stuff in the trunk while I got inside.

"Hi, Robbie." To my surprise, my little sister, Jackie, was the only one in the limo for me. Only she was the one to use that nickname from our childhood. Jackie broadly smiled at me.

"Jackie? You're here?!" My voice was a mix of shock and joy. At least one of my family members was here for me. My arms threw around her body in a hug and she hugged me back.

"Of course I would be," Jackie replied in an obvious manner. "Sorry I didn't wait for you outside, but I just cannot afford to stand there freezing into an icicle and get frost bitten!"

Ah, still the same old Jackie. I figured she wouldn't be outside, but I didn't blame her. I wouldn't want her out in the horrible weather anyway.

"Here, I made you some hot chocolate." Jackie handed me a hot thermos.

"Thanks, Jacks," I appreciated, using her nickname. I was about to open it and drink it all, but I'd feel bad if she never had any. "Do you want some?"

"No, I already had some at the house. Our chef - uh, I mean - I made some more back at home." Jackie quickly corrected herself, but I caught her mistake. It amused me that she tried to take credit.

"Oh, really?" I humored her.

We talked on the way while heading home to catch up on our lives. It was like going through a blizzard here.

After we mostly filled each other in, I hated to ask the next question. I took a sip of the hot chocolate before I did to mentally prepare myself.

"So...uh, how are you and, uh, Russo?" It was like it pained me to ask because I hated Jackie was dating that whatshisface idiot.

"It's Kelso, Robert! Michael Kelso!" Jackie angrily corrected and always used my full name when she was in a mood with me. She knew I hated it, too.

I rolled my eyes, not caring. "Whatever..."

She huffed out a sigh. "If you must know, we are doing good. Really good." There was a dreamy smile on her face and I just knew she was thinking of him.

"You didn't sleep with him, did you?" I asked suspiciously and was a little scared. I dread for the answer. Guys like Kelso would use her then dump her within seconds. One of the reasons why Jackie deserved better. A lot better.

That got her pissed off and she narrowed her heterochromia eyes at me.

"So what if I did? Michael loves me and I love him!"

"He's the type of guy to use you and leave you, Jackie," I explained, trying to get it through her head. "Guys like him only wants one thing."

"But Michael isn't like that, Robbie," She insisted. "He's different. He loves me and we'll make love at the perfect time," A confident and proud smile appeared on her face. "I have it all planned out."

There was no point to change her mind. She was so convinced that Kelso was different. But she didn't hear what he talks about her in front of his friends behind her back. He would only immediately stop when I'd show up and would cower in fear for what I would do to him if he ever hurt my sister.

When President Gerald Ford came to town, I had to be there to play happy family for the public at the town hall. It was to give good press for my father. Jackie and I always hated doing that, but she loved the attention and the pictures.

I overheard Kelso talking to one his friends about breaking up with Jackie and that even his friends agreed she was a bitch. At that point, I was furious.

"What did you call my sister?" I angrily demanded at the three of them. Kelso, the foreigner, and the Afro-haired guy. I forgot their names, but whatever. For some reason, they wore trench coats and there's just some things you didn't want to know. But it turned out only Laurie's little brother, Eric, streaked naked during the Q and A.

"Hey, Rob, heh," Kelso chuckled nervously and his eyes avoided mine. They looked everywhere except for me. He uncomfortably scratched the back of his neck. "I didn't see ya there..."

"Yeah, I bet you didn't," I got up dangerously close to his face and my hand held the collar of his coat then I roughly pinned him against the wall. His terrified face pleased me. Pretty boy should be scared. "Listen, if someday when you're not a coward and have the balls to break up with my sister then go ahead and do it, but don't talk shit about her behind her back or mine or I'll ruin that pretty face of yours. Got it?" I threatened, meaning every word.

"Yeah, man. Got it." Kelso was able to choke out in a small, frightened voice.

I let go of him and he tried to compose himself, but was still scared out of his mind.

"Good." I sneered.

Then I remembered hearing the foreign kid said in amusement. "I believe Kelso wet his pants, yes?"

I hated that day. Jackie didn't realize what he would do or say behind her back. I couldn't let my little sister get fooled around like that. Her heart would get broken. She wore her heart on her sleeve.

When we eventually got home, the first thing I did was take a shower. I needed to feel warm again and let the hot water fall on me. After my shower, I let one of our caretakers, Brenda, do my laundry. The washing machines at the college was so confusing to use. I just never got the hang of it. Our caretakers mostly did the laundry for Jackie and I.

I got dressed using the clean clothes from my closet. Jackie asked me if I could drive her to the Hub where her friends were at. Usually Kelso would take her anywhere, but since I was here, she used the time as much as possible to spend it with me. It felt like it's been forever since I was at the Hub.

For the first time I was there, I didn't know what to think of it. My first impression was that the place was trash and the food had to be garbage. I was absolutely certain I'd catch something like food poisoning. But actually, none of that happened. It was a place for teens to hang out. Burnouts mostly. Till this day, I never ate anything from there because I didn't trust it; I only had the beverages.

I drove her there in my Trans Am and soaked in all the attention I got over my car. Not going to lie, the gawking stares of admiration felt pretty good. We entered the Hub and Jackie went over to her friends which were really from her boyfriend. They didn't seem like the type Jackie would normally hang out with. I went over to the counter where I saw a former high school classmate of mine, Frank, had worked.

"Oh, hey, look who's here?" Frank instantly recognized me. It was like he thought the Hub was beneath me. Which it was. "If it isn't pretty rich boy."

"Good to see you, too, Frank," I greeted sarcastically. "How's Karen?" Last I knew, she was his girlfriend.

"Broke up with me. Yeah, it turns out she wanted a guy who does not work in a slum with teen kids." He answered bitterly.

"Oh, wow, sorry, man."

"Eh, whatever," He muttered and lightened up a little when he said. "At least you're working to become a lawyer. If I ever get arrested, I know which lawyer to get."

"Thanks." I chuckled.

After we talked some more, I brought a coke from him and sat down next to Jackie. The guys were talking about Laurie's friend, Kate, and how hot she was.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all remember my big brother, Robert." Jackie introduced me.

"Just call me Rob." I quickly corrected. Hated my name with a passion. Then she pointed everyone out to me and we all greeted each other. I already knew who Kelso was since he's been at the house before many times.

"You must know who Kate is since you go to college?" Fez asked me.

"Yeah, why?"

"She's going to be sleeping in my bedroom." Eric answered and tried to control the excitement in his voice. I'm pretty sure that was for Donna's sake. Jackie told me all about their...'complicated' relationship. That was like trying to solve a difficult Algebra problem.

"Really?"

Then Jackie pulled Donna over away from the table probably for some 'girl talk'.

"So, she's hot?" Hyde asked once the girls left.

"Oh, so hot!" Eric assured with a nod and the guys grinned. Hyde gave a thumbs up in approval.

"Just be careful with her, Eric," I warned. "You'll just be a little boy from preschool to her. She'll toy you around more than anything."

"I wish she can play with me all she wants." Kelso said suggestively making his friends snigger, but I just glared at him.

"You're still with my sister." I reminded him, unamused at his innuendo.

"I said I wish!" He exclaimed in his defense. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head at his idiocy.

Whatever Jackie saw in him, I would never understand.

The girls returned to their seats and Donna asked them. "So, what do you guys want to do?"

Eric was about to dip his French fry into ketchup until he paused as if he saw something in the red sauce. He snapped out of whatever trance he was in when Kelso smeared his own fry and ate it.

"Yeah, well, pft...I guess I'm just gonna..." He made an unconvincing yawn and stretch before he got up with his coat. "Just gonna...I'm tuckered out...so I might as well go home." Eric practically rushed to the door.

He obviously wanted to see Kate. I guess I couldn't blame him. A college girl was like every high school guy's dream.


Back at home, it was eventually time for dinner. The four of us sat at the dining table. It was rare that all of us could eat together like a proper family.

"Hope you like today's dinner," My mother, Pamela, smiled with a glass of wine in her hand. Only my parents and I had wine. Jackie was underage for alcohol. "It's your favorite."

We got served beef stew and it was perfect considering the winter weather in Wisconsin. I hungrily devoured it and I ignored the looks my mother was giving me. She hated it whenever Jackie and I had gross table manners. I knew she thought I was eating like an animal. I was just starving. It's hard to live on ramen noodles, salads, and Mac n' cheese at college.

I even helped myself for some seconds.

"Pace yourself, Robert," Mom scolded me, but I ignored her. "You don't want to get yourself sick."

"How is college going, son?" My father, Jackson, asked me.

I shrugged. "Fine, I guess. By some miracle, I passed the First-Year Law Students' Examination. We did that last month."

"Excellent, Robert," He praised and then took a sip of his wine. "I take it you have a lot of reading to do?"

"More reading than I ever did," I grumbled. I always hated reading and the classes had pushed me more to read. "Thanks for giving me your copy of The Bluebook. I didn't realize how much I needed that."

"You're welcome, son. Since summer is soon approaching, I can help find you a summer job..." Dad rambled on about me having to intern with a judge. That'll apparently look good for me.

I vaguely listened to what he was saying when my social life during the summer would also be nonexistent. It was bad enough during school when I was so busy to constantly study and do homework. I had a couple of friends and never dated anyone since I started.

Well, I haven't dated anyone since Laurie and...

That's a topic for neither here nor there.

After talking about me had finally stopped, the conversation got turned onto Jackie, thankfully. It was stuff I already knew about her while we rode in the limo. It was like our parents heard it from the first time by her. Shows how much they really were present in her life.

The next day was Thanksgiving. We were the ones who hosted it for our family because my mother wanted to show off her brand new China plates and silverware. My mother and Aunt Kathleen (my Dad's sister - they hated each other) was arguing over who wore the Halston dress the best. They didn't plan to match (thank god they didn't have the same color on) so you could imagine that blowout. My father and cousin was trying to outdo each other because one was a lawyer and the other was a general surgeon. There's a lot of other family competition and bragging rights going on, too. Jackie and I tried to stay out of it and be with each other. The kids our age were even turning into them and the younger ones played with each other.

So, it wasn't exactly a fun Thanksgiving.

What made it slightly better was when Jackie asked me if I'd like to go to the Formans with her for dessert.

"Anywhere, but here." I desperately said making her grin. She was eager to escape, too.

My parents were okay that we went to the Formans after some of the family was gone. It was like a breath of fresh air when we were at the Formans. No fakery or show offs. It was normal people in a normal looking house. Well, this place did need some touch ups here and there and some things are extremely hideous and outdated, but they seemed to love it.

I helped myself to some pumpkin pie that Kitty Forman made and it was delicious. Laurie was sitting on the stairs with Kate and they were looking through a magazine. So I decided to check up on them, but I noticed an upset Donna angrily leaving the living room. What was her problem?

But then I remembered the issue with Kate and knew how she could get. I just hoped nothing happened with her and Eric.

I walked up to Hyde if he knew anything since he was the last to talk to Eric before he followed Donna.

"Hey, man, it may be not be any of my business, but is everything okay with Eric and Donna?" I asked.

"Forman made out with Kate and the lucky bastard got tongue. He was dumb enough to rat himself out to Donna." Hyde shook his head and rolled his eyes over his friend's actions.

"Kate seriously made out with him?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. Why do you care?" He wondered.

"I just know how she is. When we were on the bus to get here, she wanted to sleep with me. When I refused, she moved onto Eric."

"Well, she is Laurie's friend so I'm not surprised she's a slut," Then he smirked. "Which works out perfect for me."

I just chuckled at him and went to Laurie and Kate who were sitting on the stairs. They flipped a page of their magazine. When I approached to them, Laurie noticed and glared at me. I was mostly there to get on Laurie's nerves and it worked.

"What are you two ladies doing?" I casually asked them and take another bite of my pie.

"Oh, just looking at clothing." Kate answered friendly at me then glanced down at the magazine to browse.

I looked down at the page myself and there were many different colors, patterns, and textures of shirts. Guys were so much simpler. We didn't need all of that stuff. Especially, not from this magazine. It's not exactly Louis Vuitton-esque. I randomly pointed my finger at a blue shirt.

"I think you'd look great in that." I joked to Laurie and she glanced down at it.

"Ugh, that's hideous." I wasn't sure if she meant it or if it's because I showed that one to her and made her hate it.

"Really? It's blue. It'll bring out the color of your eyes-"

"Oh, shut up!" She scowled and Kate giggled.

"You two are so cute!"

Laurie glared at her with a raised eyebrow. I was too speechless to say anything and thank god I didn't choke on my pie.

Thankfully, we moved on from that and just talked until Kate excused herself to go to the bathroom.

"So, I heard some interesting stuff from Eric's friend, Hyde, about your brother and Kate."

"What have you heard from the juvenile delinquent?"

"It seemed that Kate tongued your baby brother."

"Like Kelso does all the time to your baby sister?" I cringed and got sick at that mental picture.

"Ugh, don't make me vomit my pie." I was disgusted.

"Well, you can't be actually serious," It was like she almost wanted to laugh. "I mean, Kate and my stupid brother?"

"That's what I've heard," I shrugged. "Why else did Donna stormed out of here?"

"She did?"

"Yep."

We stopped talking about it when Kate returned and sat on the same stair.

"So, what were you guys talking about?" She curiously asked us.

"You and Eric-"

"Oh my god, who told you about that?" Kate was clearly horrified and embarrassed.

"Does it matter?" Laurie scoffed and looks disgusted. "You defiled your lips with my brother's."

"Please, do not tell anyone, Laurie." Kate begged.

But Laurie had that evil smirk on her face, her blue eyes turned cold. "We'll see."

I didn't know Laurie cared that much about Eric. Sure, I knew they were siblings, but they have such a rivalry that Jackie and I never did. Laurie would've liked that Eric's relationship with Donna went downhill, but only for his expense. Maybe she couldn't believe Kate wouldn't have gone after Eric like that because I'm pretty sure Laurie told her that he was...sort of taken.

After that little dessert party, I was about to find Jackie and leave with her. Donna came back and seemed to have repaired things with Eric. Hopefully, they can work out...whatever their relationship was. When I walked into the kitchen, I saw Laurie outside of the kitchen smoking. I opened the sliding door and walked out to her.

The uncomfortable atmosphere between us was hard to ignore. It wasn't easy to start a conversation with Laurie.

"Uh...you know where Jackie is?"

"Probably with Kelso."

That made me groan. Think of something else.

"Looks like Eric and Donna are back together." I informed her.

"Good for them." She muttered and her red lips puffed out an air of smoke.

It had been a long time since Laurie and I were together. The first time we dated was in our freshman year. Things were so good with us back then...until it had all fallen apart. But we're on good terms now, even talking to each other. We couldn't have done that before. Maybe now we can...I hated to admit it, but I still have some leftover feelings for Laurie.

"Since Donna got back together with Eric, so can we," I said softly to her. "We can do the same-"

"It's not the same thing." Laurie had rudely cut me off.

"I know it's not-"

"No, you don't know, Rob." She snapped, her eyes flashed to me. I did know one thing and that's the moment I should back off.

"Fine." I stubbornly settled as she finished off her cigarette and mushed it to ashes with the bottom of her shoe.

"Robbie, there you are!" Jackie had found me and her sudden arrival broke off the tension between Laurie and I. "Take me home." She demanded.

I noticed Laurie rolling her eyes at my sister and went back inside the house.

"Okay, sure." I nodded and we went into my Trans Am to drive away.
