Chapter 5

"Jackie slow down" Eric said chasing after Jackie.

They had just seen something that they thought that they never would. As mad as she was she needed to slow down and talk to him about it. Jackie finally stopped and turned around to face him. Eric caught up to her and pulled her into a hug while trying to get her breath.

"How could they. Yeah I know they were both mad and hurting but, Donna is smarter than that and so is Michael." Jackie said pulling away from Eric.

"I don't know. I hoped that we would be able to stop her before anything happened but, I guess we weren't." Eric said taking Jackie's hand.

They turned around and headed back towards Eric's house. When they got there they found Hyde and Kitty sitting at the table talking. When Eric saw Kitty's face through the door, he quickly grabbed Jackie and led her towards the basement.

"Eric what's going on?" Jackie asked as Eric opened the door to the basement.

"I can't talk to my mom. Yeah she knows about us but, I don't want to know how she feels about Donna and Kelso not now." Eric said and Jackie agreed.

They sat on the couch and Jackie leaned on Eric's shoulder as The Six Million Dollar Man came on the television.

"Eric man you down there?" Hyde asked coming down the stairs.

Eric and Jackie looked up at him and just gave a dim smile. Hyde sat down on his chair and the three of them just sat there. None of them knew what to say about what happened. Finally Kitty broke the silence when she came down with cookies.

"Here you go guys. I know that you don't really want to hear my opinion right now but, Eric I think you and Jackie should go over and talk to Donna about everything." Eric looked at his mother and nodded.

He knew she was right and that they had to settle this thing. The three of them got up and went for the door.

"Steven do you think you should go?" Kitty asked.

"Mrs. Forman with all due respect. I have been waiting for this to end since it started so I have to go." Hyde said and Kitty agreed.

They got to the end of the driveway when Fez appeared. He looked like he had been sobbing in the girly way that he does when he thinks no one is looking.

"Fez man what's going on?" Hyde asked very curious of why Fez was sobbing.

"Kelso...Donna. They're gone. I..." Fez looked like he was about to bawl.

Jackie looked at Eric extremely worried of what he meant by gone.

"Hey wait. What do you mean gone?" Eric asked putting his hand on Fez's shoulder.

"Well you see. After you guys left I went back and me and Kelso went to his place after leaving Donna's house. He didn't know what to do with himself. He just kept saying that he shouldn't have done that and that he wanted to get out of here. Then Donna called. She had been crying and she said that she couldn't face anyone again after what had happened. Kelso and her decided it would be better if they both left town so they did." Fez wiped his eyes and just stood there with the others.

"They can't leave. No we were supposed to work this out." Jackie said turning to Eric.

"Fez where did they go?" Eric asked pulling Jackie into him.

"They didn't say. All I know is that they are gone and they hope you all move on with your lives." Fez said. He started to sob again so Hyde led him back into Forman's kitchen.

"I don't believe this. What do we do now?" Jackie asked still hugging Eric.

"You let them go and you two go on with your lives." Eric and Jackie looked around until they saw Bob standing at the fence.

"What are you saying?" Eric asked.

"Eric, Jackie listen. You both know that when someone hurts my little girl, all I want is pain to be brought to them. This time however, my little girl wants you two to be happy and if leaving town is how she can do it then I don't object. So be happy and be thankful." Bob said heading for Eric's door. He smelt cookies and wanted to see what kind they were.

Eric and Jackie just stood there. Donna and Kelso wanted them to be happy. If they could anything for Donna, this was it. They turned around and headed into the house wondering where Donna and Kelso would go.

"Kelso are you sure this is a good idea?" Donna asked as they drove down a deserted highway.

Kelso looked at her and smiled.

"Donna. I may be bad at school and pretty much the dumbest guy you will ever meet but, when it comes to making Jackie happy I know what's best. You know just what I'm talking about, you are the only thing that Eric ever talked about until he and Jackie got together. So if there's one thing we know it's that they will be happy together."

Donna agreed with what he said and she slowly leaned her head against his shoulder. She fell asleep quickly and Kelso just smiled. He knew that they would be happy too. Plus he was pretty sure that they would do it again.
