Chapter 9: Put a Smile on My Pancakes Please!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

A/N: Please review, but be easy on me. I like it when you guys give me ideas but please be nice about it. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed some POV from all.

Jackie's POV

As I lay on Stephens's bed I wonder. What have I done? Did I make the right decision being with him? How do I know he won't hurt me like Michael? Wait, what am I saying? This is the guy who punched that guy Chip for calling me a bitch at the Forman's BBQ party, the guy who took the rap for me when I brought a bag of weed to the alley and the cop found it, the same guy who took me to prom because I was lonely. I know I can trust him, I just don't know what to do. I meant everything I said to him at the mall but I feel stuck like I can't walk. Wherever I am I always feel like Michael… Kelso will be right there and just take me away from my life and take me to California or …Texas… eww. But then I think about Stephen, how much he cares for me, I just don't know if I can give him back the same feelings, well not just yet I guess. I love him. I always have since prom but… oh no pretend to be asleep he's coming.

Stephen's POV

Maybe I made a mistake being so open with Jacks so soon. I mean she was just raped I can't believe that I just did that randomly. But what else was I supposed to do? Just wait? At least I found out that she cares about me too. I don't care if we can't do it. I just want to hold her and whatever she is going through or will go through I want to help her with. I want to be by her side helping her out 150 of the way for her to heal. Am I making sense? Since when have I cared about other people? She's still sleeping. Maybe I should get Mrs. Forman. Nah, Jacks will kill me. No I know that Mrs. Forman can help, I'll go get her.

Hyde walked out of his room and saw that only Donna was there watching The Price is Right. That seemed to be on all the time. Was there a marathon or something?

Hyde: Hey, where's Eric and Fez?

Donna: Oh, they went to Teepee Kelso's house.

Hyde: Nice. Why aren't you with them?

Donna: Because I'm worried about Jackie. How is she?

Hyde: She's still out. I'm going to get Mrs. Forman.

Donna: Jackie's going to be pist. (Smirk)

Hyde: I know but it's for her own good. I just want to make sure she's ok… ya know?

Donna: Yeah. So what's going on between you guys?

Hyde: I don't know man.

Donna: Well I know that Jackie isn't going to want to do anything for a while.

Hyde: How do you know Donna?

Donna just sat there staring into Hyde's eyes. She looked like she was about to cry. She hesitated a little and then spoke.

Donna: I just know.

Hyde: Damn, you too Donna?

Donna: Me too.

Hyde: Who else knows?

Donna: Eric and my dad.

Hyde: How did Eric take it?

Donna: He stayed by my side and didn't make me do anything until I was ready. And I'm not talking about sex.

Hyde: Then what are you talking about?

Donna: Damn, all you think about is sex. Duh, he's a guy! Eric didn't make me talk about it or go outside or anything like that. He just waited until I was ready and didn't push me to get over it. He just let me be with no obligation. So yeah, I'm just giving you the heads up that Jackie might change her mind a lot about anything. And try to be isolated from the world outside this basement.

Hyde: Why do you say that?

Donna: Because we know and it's not like she can go back to the scene of the crime. You know where Kelso rap…

Hyde: Yeah I know. Well, thanks for the advice man.

Donna: No problem.

Hyde turned around and started walking up the stairs. He started thinking about what Donna had said to him. He didn't turn around but he started to speak.

Hyde: Donna?

Donna: Yeah?

Hyde: How did you get over it?

Donna: Who say's I'm over it? I'm just taking it one step at a time. Be patient with her ok? She's been through a lot.

Hyde: Ok, thanks again.

Donna: Any time.

Hyde went upstairs to Mrs. Forman. Donna just sat there her eyes fixed on the TV, but she wasn't paying any attention. She hadn't really thought of that night in a while. She had just gotten over the trauma of it. Did she really get over it? Or maybe she just thought she was but it was still there. Whatever was going on it wasn't good. She fell out of her trance when she heard the clapping on the television but then fell right back into it.

Donna's POV

Did I make a mistake telling Hyde? No, he's my best friend. What's happening to me? Damn! I thought I was over this! That's the whole reason why I started my women's protest things, because women shouldn't have to go through what Jackie and I are going through. It's just not fair and the guys shouldn't get away with it. I wonder why Hyde didn't ask me who did it. I don't know, but I'm happy he didn't. I hate him. I wish I never had met him, what a stupid name too, C…. O wow! Mrs. Forman looks pist…

Kitty: Why didn't you guys come to me sooner?

Hyde: Because we thought we could handle it on our own.

Kitty: Typical! What a typical teen!

Donna: Mrs. Forman if it makes you feel any better. We need your help.

Hyde: Tried that one Pinciatti.

Donna: Well crap then.

Kitty: Oh I'm not mad at you guys. I'm just mad at the person who did this. What did that Michael Kelso boy do when he found out?

Donna: You didn't tell her?

Hyde: I tried but she came down in such a hurry.

Kitty: Tell me what?

Donna: It was Kelso, Mrs. Forman.

Kitty: WHAT?

Hyde: Yeah.

Donna: He's been beating Jackie for the past month. And he raped her.

Kitty: WHAT?

Hyde: Jeez Donna!

Donna: Well Mrs. Forman goes in what is she going to think? What did you tell her anyways?

Hyde: That I spilled tang in my room all over Kelso's jacket.

Donna: What the hell? Why didn't you just tell her the truth?

Hyde: Because Red was up there with her and if I had said "Mrs. Forman I need to talk to you alone." He would have known something was up.

Donna: Oh…

Hyde: Yeah I'm smarter then you think I am.

Donna: Sorry.

Kitty: Ok now where is Jackie?

Jackie's POV

I wonder what's taking Hyde so long. Why did he leave? Maybe to give me some rest. Whatever… pretend to be asleep again someone's coming in.

Hyde walked Kitty to his room with Donna closely behind. When Kitty entered his room she didn't know what she was getting into. But then she saw Jackie all bruised and innocent. All of Kitty's worries seemed to go away and for the first time the whole day she had a clear view of what she had to do.

Kitty: Hyde get me a wash cloth, a bucket of water, and a bottle of vodka.

Hyde: What's the vodka for?

Kitty: To wake Jackie up. And (cough) me.

Donna: Hah!

Hyde left.

Kitty: Do you know why Michael would do such a thing?

Donna: I don't know she won't talk.

Hyde: Here's the stuff you wanted Mrs. Forman.

Kitty: Thanks sweetie.

Hyde: Anytime. So what are you doing?

Kitty: Well I am going to wake her up with the alcohol and then cool her off because she feels like she may have a fever. You know with all this stress.

Hyde: Yeah, I know.

Kitty took a chug of the vodka and then put it up against Jackie's nose. Jackie knew everything that was going on but played along so she wasn't asked so many questions. It didn't bother her that Mrs. Forman knew, just as long as Mr. Forman didn't find out. She "woke up" and squinted her eyes acting like she didn't know what was going on.

Jackie: What's going on? Why are you here Mrs. Forman?

Kitty: Sweetie, I am so sorry that this is happening to you. Here you just lay down and let me break that fever down.

Jackie: Thank you Mrs. Forman. You know usually I'd be mad that you know about everything. But you're like a mother to me, so I don't mind. Who told her?

Stephen: I did.

Donna: Well actually I did.

Jackie: Well whoever did thank you.

Stephen just smiled and Donna just sat next to Jackie and petted her on the back. Jackie felt so loved. She hadn't felt this loved her whole life. In her family it was always about the material things in life. But in the Forman household it was about family, since they weren't as rich as she was. But she felt like she was home. She felt comfortable, safe, and free because it was ok for her to be her, and the real her too not the materialistic Jackie. When Kitty was done wiping Jackie's face with cool water she went upstairs to make her some smiley-faced pancakes. Jackie was excited; she had heard Stephen and Eric talk about Kitty's famous pancakes everyday. So this really made her feel like part of the family. Not even Donna had Kitty's smiley-faced pancakes. Jackie felt at home, Jackie felt loved. And that was the most important thing of all.
