DISCLAIMER: I don't own That 70's Show or anything related to it. I wish I did cause then I could make Jackie and Hyde be together. Humph… Oh well. The last season never happened.

Summary: Takes place in the 8th Season, during and after Fun It. Jackie and Hyde bottle up their feelings because they can't stand getting hurt again by each other. The final season leads them through tragedy and self-discovery. But will it lead them together again?

Author's Note: I wrote this at work. I just thought you should know that, for you, I neglect my job. Haha. Anyway, thanks for all the positive feedback. Reviews are very appreciated. Thank you!

Chapter 13: Nobody's Fault

Eyes are full of desire

Mind is so ill at ease

Everything is on fire

Shit piled up to the knees

Out of rhyme or reason

Everyone's to blame

Children of the season

Don't be lame

"God Hyde, I can't believe your divorcing Sam!" Donna said. It was the morning after he told Sam to leave and they had already brought his soon-to-be ex-wife to the airport. Surprisingly, after their initial confrontation the night before, she hadn't made a fuss.

"If you wanna cry, it's okay. We won't tell," Kitty chirped from the stove. She was finishing getting the bacon she'd made for breakfast out of the pan.

"I will," Red said, not taking his eyes off the morning paper he had been reading at the table.

"Oh Red!" Kitty cried before letting go of the spatula and rushing through the swinging door.

Red folded the paper down to watch her run away. "Kitty..." he tried, with no success. "Damn."

"Lady problems?" Hyde smirked.

"Yeah... Eric," Red said before going off in the direction his distraught wife went.

At the mention of his name, Hyde saw Donna avert her eyes to the floor. "You still miss him?" he asked once Red was out of sight.

"No, I hate him," she quickly and coldly responded.

"I didn't ask whether you hated him or not. I asked whether or not you missed him." Before hearing her answer, Hyde got up from the table and went to the basement, not forgetting to snag some bacon on the way.

After she heard the basement door close, Donna sank her head into her hands. It was true. She missed Eric more than she'd ever admit. He had always been there for her, comforting her, helping her. Even when they weren't together, he was the one she turned to. And now he wasn't.

Hanging out with Randy was fun, but he wasn't Eric. He didn't listen as intently and when he offered advice, it didn't seem as sincere. With Eric gone, she realized, she didn't just not have a boyfriend. She also didn't have a best friend.

Sighing, she ran her hands through her hair and lifted her head. She almost screamed as her eyes met Fez's. Shaken, she said, "Fez, what the hell? How long have you been sitting there?"

"Not long," he said in an uncharacteristically monotone voice. "Donna, can I ask you a question?"

"Not now Fez, I'm not having a good day," she said.

"Please Donna, it's important."

Noting the seriousness in his pleas, she nodded and said, "Yeah Fez, what's going on?"

"Okay," he said, taking a deep breath before continuing. "What if you knew something that was probably good news but could potentially hurt someone you cared about? Would you tell them the news or not?"

Donna sat and thought about it. "Fez," she said finally. "Is this about one of those slutty salon bimbos?"

"Yes... you figured it out," he said in an unconvincing tone that no one ever seemed to pick up on.

"Fez, just tell the person. If it hurts them, then at least you were honest and let them decide for themselves what they want to do." Feeling a little better because of the great advice she'd given Donna said goodbye to Fez and went to find Randy. 'No need to think about old what's-his-face when he's not around, anyway.'

But Fez sat in the Forman kitchen for a while longer, thinking about what Donna said. She told him to tell Hyde what Jackie felt, but he still didn't know if he was ready to do that.

Up in the bedroom that they shared, Red tried smoothing things over with his crying wife. He'd noticed her crying more and more lately, which made him worried. He felt like he was talking her down from a cliff. But it wasn't working.

"Come on, Kitty, you know that's how I am. I'm a dumbass," he tried, incerting his own catch phrase to make her laugh but her sobs only intensified. "Uhh... I love you."

"You don't get it!" she screamed at him, turning to face him. Her eyes shone with pure hatred and anger and fear, something Red had never seen before.

"I'll leave you alone," he said, slowly backing out of the room. There were lots of things that Red Forman had seen in his life. Terrible things. Things that would make most men go insane after just a glimpse. But all those things never got to him the way the look in her eyes just then did. For one of the few times in his life, save Korea and his heart attack, Red was truly afraid.

Author's Note: Sorry it's kinda short. I wanted to switch back and forth before a JH chapter and the whole cast, while keeping theKitty sidestory in there.The next chapter might take a day or two because I don't have any ideas for what to do. Anyone have any ideas? I want to keep it light and fluffy between Jackie and Hyde for a few more chapters, then it's gonna get angsty. Review please!
