Chapter 3
At The Formans Home
Richmond, Kentucky
Jackie and Donna had Jerry to follow them to the Forman's. Jerry had the chance to meet Eric, Hyde and Fez. They were somewhat excited to meet him, maybe considering welcoming him as a new member of the gang. He soon got to talk with Donna more. However, he never did talk to, or he actually never had the chance to meet Kelso despite the fact that Kelso wasn't even there, probably at his house still pissed about Jackie breaking up with him. Jerry even got to meet Red, Kitty and Bob. Red did seem somewhat excited, maybe could be wondering if Jerry was a "dumbass" even though he really wasn't. Kitty was straight up excited to meet someone else as nice as Jerry, so excited that she even made him from fresh chocolate chip cookies, which he loved. Bob was also excited to meet him as well.
After those meetings, Jerry finally got to talk to Jackie one on one.
"Well Jackie, your friends are actually pretty nice, and I do like how much Fez loves candy, it's surprising that he hasn't really gained any weight from it, not to be mean though" Jerry said.
"Yeah, little Fezzie sure does love his candy" Jackie replied with a smile
A few more minutes have passed with the two chatting in the Forman's driveway, and that's when Jackie decided to tell Jerry about how she is wanting to take off to Florida.
"Jerry, I wanted to tell you about something. Ever since I broke up with Micheal, I have been wanting to take off to Florida for the summer, because I know that Micheal may try to make my life a living hell, and I just want some time away from here for a little while" Jackie explained.
Jerry looked at the small brunette with a shocked look on his face.
"Wait, are you serious, because I was just thinking about taking off to Florida too!"
"Wow, well that's great, why are you thinking about going?" The brunette asked
"Oh, well, I just thought of taking a little break from Kentucky and going on a vacation." Jerry said. "And by the way, I know that we just met each other, but since we are both thinking about going to Florida, I figured maybe we could go together" he added.
"You know Jerry, that would be amazing. We could probably make up as good friends!" Jackie said with her eyes dancing. "However, I think we may want to try to get to know each other first."
Jerry listened in on her, "Yeah I agree, I should try and get to know you and you try to get to know me" he said with a grin.
Jackie got in with Jerry in his older Chevy pickup truck and Jackie decided to guide him to the Burkhart Mansion. Once they arrived there, Jerry couldn't believe his eyes.
"So this is your parents mansion?" Jerry asked so surprised.
"Yeah, sort of. The thing is that my parents are barely even home, and I came to believe that I am possibly the least important thing in their lives, to my mom anyways. She has basically been doing nothing but going out and taking shots of tequila all the time. I do think that my dad at least tries to be there for me whenever he can, but in the long run he is trying to do his job as a lawyer" Jackie explained to him.
Jerry sat in the driver's seat baffled. "Wow, it sucks that your mom is not even trying to care about you, and at least your dad is trying."
They both walked into the mansion and Jerry looked at how big it was. Jackie showed him all around the whole mansion, and she would soon not long after lead Jerry to her bedroom. Jerry saw that her bedroom was colored pink, and it of course had some girly stuff on it, but her room also had rock and roll posters of certain bands such as Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Motley Crue, AC/DC, etc.
"You know, I am so glad that you are a big rock and roll fan just like I am" Jerry stated in an exciting voice.
Jackie smiled back at him with joy when he said that. He also saw some posters of older pop stars too, such as Madonna and Michael Jackson, and Jackie was a girl, so of course she liked some pop. They then got back in the truck and they drove to Jerry's small house. Once they arrived at his house, Jackie saw that it wasn't such a bad looking little house. It was a white split level home with the USA flag hanging over the porch.
Jackie noticed other vehicles sitting in the driveway of Jerry's house, including an older Ford F-150 pickup along with a couple others. Jerry told her about how his life has been going, which was actually pretty good. He said that it actually was owned by his dad, and his dad does make him pay rent every month, which happens to not be that much money that he pays for it, despite the fact that Jerry has a job at an AutoZone sorting out new vehicle accessories that come in as new inventory. He told her at times he would have friends over, in which they would play some video games, jam to some kick ass rock and roll music, and other cool things.
"So, this Michael Kelso guy, literally just kept cheating on you even know he knew it was hurting you? That is just so fucked up" Jerry stated.
Jackie looked at him of course feeling the same way.
"Yeah, your damn right he did. Every time he would do this to me, he would just keep coming to me saying he was sorry, when he really wasn't sorry, because if he truly was sorry, he wouldn't have kept fucking going out with other girls behind my back. He knew it hurt me and he straight up just didn't give a shit. And the worst part is is that I kept taking him back like a dumbass after all those times he cheated on time, but I mean it this time. I not going to keep kissing his ass anymore. We could probably still be friends if he'll accept it, but he will no longer be my boyfriend. Not anymore" Jackie stated.
Jerry thought of what to say, and he started to speak shortly after she finished her explanation.
"That was bullshit on how he treated you, I wish you wouldn't have gone through that. I'm glad that you decided to dump him for good" Jerry responded to her explanation. Jackie smiled at him, proud that he was doing his best to cheer her up.
"And besides, I'm sure that you'll find another boy who actually would care about you and give you the love that you deserve, and that would not cheat on you" he added while he smiled back at her.
"Thank you Jerry, I sure hope I could find someone else like you said" she said.
"Well, we are going to be taking a road trip to Florida not far from now, so you never know, you may meet someone in Florida" Jerry added.
"We sure are getting to know each other very well already" Jackie said grinning.
"We sure are" he replied.
"Wait, what about your parents, do you think they would be cool with you going on a road trip to the Sunshine State with a long haired teen boy you had just met?" Jerry asked her
Jackie went to answer his question, "They're barely even home at all, they're actually at home only like 2% percent of the time, so I don't think it should be a big deal."
"So, when do you think we should begin our road trip?" Jerry asked.
"I'd say we could go back to the Forman's, I can sleep in my bed at Donna's house next door, and I think Mrs. Forman would be more than happy to let you sleep on her couch. And then we could leave very early in the morning. We should try and get some very good sleep before than" Jackie replied.
Jerry looked at her with agreement. "Yeah I think that would be good, plus it's starting to get late anyway, so it's not a bad idea."
