Donna smiled softly as she held Eric on her lap in the Foreman's basement. It had been 6 months since the accident that she wasn't sure if Eric would ever remember that it was their anniversary the day of his accident. The doctors said not to push Eric, that he would remember everything eventually. Donna sighed. She didn't have eventually.. she wanted now. Hearing a bang she looked up and saw Jackie and Hyd e came walking in looking sheepish and holding hands. They sat down down in their usual places and Jackie looked at Donna with worried eyes.
" Donna, come on, you need a make-over!" Jackie said trying to cheer Donna up.Donna really needed a friend right now and Jackie knew that Steven and Michael wouldn't be any help. She touched her hair and smiled at Donna, wearing a pink tight shirt and blue jeans with her hair perfectly styled.
Donna forced a smile:" Sorry Jackie... I'm not in the mood. I want to stay here with Eric."
Hyde looked at Donna carefully..." Donna, you have to say Good-bye to Foreman. He needs some time away from you to remeber. I think that you should go with jackie, get your mind off of this. I'll stay here with him." Hyde said watching Eric, to see if he was really sleeping or just not feeling Donna's pain."Go on, get out of here. Go with Jackie." Jackie looked at Donna expectantly and waited for her to decided to come with her. Donna needed to get away from Eric, this relationship wasn't good for her anymore.
Donna stood up and let Eric's head fall wack against the pilliow. She grabbed Jackie's hand and walked towards the door but then paused at looked back at Eric again and began to sing,"Of all the things I believed in, I just want to get it over with. Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry." Donna sang as tears did form behind her eyes," I can't count the days that passed me by. I've been searching deep down in my soul. Words that i'm hearing are starting to get old. Feels like i'm starting all over again, the last 3 years were just pretend. I said Good-bye to you, good-bye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved, the one thing I tried to hold on to. I used to get lost in your eyes and it seems I can't live a day without you. Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away to a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right. Good-Bye to you, good-bye to everything that i knew. you were the one I loved, the one thing I tried to hold on too.ohhhhh... It hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time. I want what's your and i want what's mine. I want you but I'm not giving in this time. Good-Bye to you. Good bye to everything that i knew. You were the one I loved, the one thing I tried to hold on to. The one thing that I tried to hold to. Good-bye to you, Good bye to everything that I knew. You were the one I loved, the one thingI tried to hold on too. ohhh...The rain starts to fall and ruins light and day, your my shooting star."
With that the turns fell and Donna ran out the door pulling Jackie with her. Once outside Jackie grabbed Donna and hugged her tightly." Oh My God Donna! we had no idea.. You can't just say good bye to Eric. He loves you and i love you and you love him and you guys need eachother." Jackie was shaking and crying, Donna's song had hit her that much. Oh my God! I didn't know you could sing like that?"
Donna hugged Jackie but the tears still wouldn't fall." I know. No one knows anythingabout what i'm feeling right now. I have so many more feelings that need to come out and all I can do is sing about them...Jackie..I love him so much but I meant it,I want what's your and i want what's mine. I want you but I'm not giving in this time. I can't do this anymore Jackie! I love him but I can't... it's not...right..not ..fair... we were so in love! How can this happen to us! were just 17. we don't deserve this!"
Jackie broke down again,":Donna, oh,Donna, I love you so much. It's ok let it all out...It's not fair.. I know it's not fair to you or to eric but do you think God thought it was fair when Adam and Eve betrayed him? But he didn't loose faith he stayed with him and everything will be ok."
Donna shook her head," No, Jackie it won't! No matter what happens i'll always blame myself gor what happened.Jackie, listen to me," Donna paused and belted out another song," We're not going to take it. Hell no we ain't gonna take it. We're not going to take it anymore. We've got the right to choose it. There ain't no way were loosin'. This is our life this is our song. we'll fight the Powers that Be, jsut don't pick our destiny cause you don't know us, you don't belong. Oh We're not going to take it . Hell no were not going take it .We're not going to take it anymore. Oh your so condscending, your gall is never ending. We don't want nothin, nothing from you. Your life is tritgated, boring and complicated. If that's your best, your best won't do! we're Right! Were Free! We'll Fight! you'll see!" Donna stopped and smiled softly before starting to walk towards the mall.
"o..k..umm..donna that was really hard rock, no offense but I perferred the other one." Jackie replied
As they walked into the mall, Jackie dragged Donna to shop after shop and the left with so many bags it wasn't funny. Smiling at Donna, Jackie called for a Taxi and got them dropped back off at the Foremans. Donna was hesitant to go in but Jackie forced her and as she walked in, she saw Eric! He was sitting up and talking and Hyde was smirking. bounding foreward she lept onto Eric and began making out with him. Jackie had a self satisfied smile on her face and sat ontop of Steven and kissed him in greeting to.
Eric's eyes popped open wide and he raised his eyebrows," Whoa...Donna! What's wrong with you? Your acting like you haven't seen me in years or even months."
Gently drawing a circle around his face, Donna smiled softly," I haven't. I haven't seen you for real in 6 months. which felt like 6 years to me."
Hyde smirked and said," Foreman, you missed the nice song Donna sang for you earlier. It was beautiful. Right Jackie?"
Jackie hit Steven and surpressed laughter," Steven, wenot going tobring that up.
Donna smiled at them and then kissed Eric again, hoping that the world could stay that way forever.
