Writers Note:
Hi everyone. Well first of all thanks for reading this story. This is my first attempt to write one so be considerate with the reviews. I hope that you like it and enjoy it. Just so everyone knows none of this is mine. I would be a better writer and it would not be in fanfiction if it was.
Things you need to know-
English is my second language so I am sure I made grammar mistakes. Instead of yelling at me about them on a review send me a private note.
The writing in italic is their thoughts.

-----Chapter I-----
Everything was going smooth now. Jackie was starting to accept the fact that Steven was not going to come back to her like he had done before when ever they got in a fight. He had moved on. She needed to do the same thing. She needed to get her act together to show the entire world that Jackie Burkhart was a strong girl who could overpass any calamity.
---at Donnas—
"Well Donna I have figured it out, I am going to apply for that job at the TV station in Chicago." Jackie told Donnas showing that she was proud of her decision. "What the hell Jackie" Through out their friendship Donna had heard a lot of crazy things coming out of Jackie's mouth, but this one surly took the cake… actually no the idea of marrying Kelso took the cake, but this one was pretty close. "Have you really thought about this? I mean there are many things to consider…for example…" Jackie quickly interrupted her faithful best friend before she made several good points on why she should not move and end up convincing her. "Donna this is something I have to do for my self. I can't stay any longer. Point Place just brings back memories of a life that I once had. I need to move on." "I understand Jackie, but just think about it" Jackie could not understand how Donna would not accept and encourage her for the difficult decision she had taken. A short silence went between the two friends before Donna interrupted it. "Well Jackie I have to go out to the radio station, but you can stay here as long as you want to. My dad is out at the grocery store but he will be back soon just incase you need something." Jackie could not help but to smile and nod in agreement as her best walked out the bed room. The bed was conformable. Jackie sat back hugging one of the pillows as she looked at a worn out candle. It was lavender just like the ones she had put in Stevens's bedroom once when she had decorated it for him. That was just the reason why she needed to move. Although she was used to the idea that he wasn't coming back to her she still thought about him all the time.
For the first time in a long time Donna was speech less. She did not have a choice. She knew that the best thing she could do would be to support Jackie. Her strong and persistent personality was going to help her make it through in Chicago; she had no doubt in her mind.
Jackie stayed in Donna's room. If she was going to leave to Chicago she needed to enjoy and take in every moment since it was going to be one of her lasts. The night had already fallen and Jackie could not help but to lay down. As her entire body rested she began to think about Steven. It didn't take long for Jackie to fall asleep. She was mentally stressed out.
---At Foreman's---
"…well Hyde I don't care and to proof it I am going to drink your last beer." "You know what Sam you go and do that I'm out!" It was just another fight between Hyde and Sam. Things were getting worst between them. At the beginning Zen worked, but now she was just getting more and more annoying. "Don't you dare Steven Hyde, don't walk out on me!" All Sam could hear after that was the door Slam. He really needed to get out of there, but to his luck he had left his keys inside. Having a striper for a wife did have its advantages, but they were only a few and only in certain times and right now was not one of them. The night was too cold to go out and have a walk with just a simple t-shirt on. He could see that Donna's bed room light was and decided to go there instead. Sam was sure to figure out that he was going to be there but at least he would not have to see or hear her for a while. He never bothered knocking since the door was always open. "Hey Bob" "Oh hello Steven isn't this sombrero something? I bought it earlier today at an action. The person that sold it must have been really stupid or something. Don't you think?" "Yeah I guess." Hyde replied as he walked off to go up stairs. What the hell am I doing here? He thought to his self right as he was getting to the last five steps. He turned around and headed back downstairs, but to his luck Bob was passing by with the sombrero on. "Hey Steven are you looking for Donna?" Bob asked taking off the sombrero. "Yeah I guess I was, but I am leaving now." "Oh ok because I forgot to tell you that they wanted her to fill in at the station today so she won't be here for another two hours."
It was the nonstop hour at the radio station and Donna really needed to talk to someone, but yet there was no one. Jackie was the one with the problem. Hyde would not care. And lately Fez was no where to be found. Any one else would not understand Jackie or her situation even if they tried. Donna felt hurt at Jackie's decision. How could Jackie do this, we have been through a lot together and all of that would be over as soon as she departs. Who would I talk to now about all those girl things? Who would she have there to support her when she thinks that the world is against her or when she has one of her Jackie moments? Donna smiled as she remembers her ex's frequent comparison to star wars. As he would say what would Luke Skiwalker have done in this moment. Her thoughts shifted on to how much she really missed him, but she had to get over it just like Jackie. Eric betrayed and yet I did not run away from everyone and everything that reminded her of him. I still go to the basement were they used to be share precious moments together. I am always around Kitty and Red. She could no longer hold the tears that were just gathering up in her eyes. As they fell through her cheeks she could remember Red telling Eric what a dumb ass hew was and how he was going to put his foot up his ass, but Eric was not the problem now. She needed to help her friend take the best decision. She needed to be there for her. Would it really help Jackie to run away from it all? Wouldn't people see it as attesting that she was a coward? Steven would triumphed over her. Donna was too distracted to notice that the time had flied by and by the time she did she needed to back on air in a minute. This meant that now was not the time to try to solve this crazy puzzle.
Back at Donna's room Jackie was turning in her sleep right before she hit her head in the corner of the bed side stand. "Oh that hurts", she whispered to her self half way as sleep. I better get up and check it just to make sure it didn't leave a bruise and at the same time I can stop to use the bathroom. With that Jackie got up and walked out the door. She could hear Bob talking, but who cared. As she opened the bathroom door she smashed her little toe against the frame of the door. That almost woke her up completely but not quite. She just stopped to rub her poor toe that now aced more than her head. This was not a good night at all.
"Well in that case if you don't mind could I go up there to spend some time alone; just until she comes back?" Hyde asked hopping that Bob would not think much of it and just say yes. "Its wife problems isn't it?" Bob said with a slight smile before turning it into a deep frown. He quickly continued saying "I remember when I used to have those" before Bob could go on further about how he had lost all this great woman's in his life Hyde silently rushed back upstairs.
Jackie could hear the footsteps coming. She quickly went in the bathroom and closed the door with out making any extra noises. She knew how she looked right after waking up not her typical beautiful self and to top that her head most likely had a huge red spot at least if not a huge horrible black/blue/purple bruise. She suddenly came back to her five senses noticing that she no longer lived there and she had no permission to stay there over night with out Donna knowing. The small bathroom upstairs had a small square window parallel to the door. A blue and yellow curtain was covering the window. Jackie slowly walked toward the window. She placed her small hand on the curtain and could easily fell the cold from outside penetrate trough the window and the curtain. The night was dark although it was only 10:00 PM. The cold quickly reminded her of her need to use the bathroom. With out any hesitation she quickly went to do what she needed. As she washed her hands she saw her face on the mirror. Thank god there was no bruise. She walked back to the window to take one last glimpse of the cruel outside world. She could see a small section of a black vehicle. It did not take a genius to figure it out, it was Hyde's ElCamino. Resting her head on the wall she remembered all the great times they had spend together, but she quickly changed emotions into a helpless one where she had been hurt so much that no one in the world could say or do something to help her.
Hyde was too busy trying to deal with all this crap Sam was starting to give him to notice the bathroom door close. He quickly spotted Donna's room and entered it. No one was there just like Bob had said. Some of the pillows were scattered on the bed. He walked over to the right side of the bed were he took a seat. He rested his elbows on his knees and held his head with his arms. Man marriage is really the death penalty. When ever you hear old men talking about it they are telling the truth. Who does she think she is? She nags more than Jackie used to. Wait no there is no one that can out do Jackie. Before he could go deeper in thought on how he screwed up by marring Sam and how Red had always been right he was a dumb ass the door slowly opened.
