I thank you for your kind reviews and hope u continue to read my story. Please review and I will update really fast.


Eric stood with his hands folded, his face grim as he watched his father's casket being lowered slowly into the ground. All his mind could scream was this is all wrong! The sky seemed to reflect Eric's mood, it had at first been merely clouded, but then with a calp of thunder, the rain came pouring down.

Kitty watched the coffin, a dead look in her eyes. A part of her had died that day, a large part of her. How would she get along without the love of her life right there beside her. Although Red had a rough side, he had a soft side as well that he usually only showed to Kitty, the side that made her fall in love with him in the first place. He had stuck with her no matter what, even when she put him through hell during her menopausal rages. Kitty felt a small petite hand touch her arm and looked over at her daughter's face, Laurie didn't say anything to her mom, she just touched her arm in comfort.

Laurie didn't want to believe that he daddy was dead and although no one knew this, she blamed herself. It had been her crazy news that had sent Red to the hospital and all Laurie wanted was to let her daddy know that she was sorry. Sorry for all the hell she had put him through with going to Chicago and not even calling, she should have been with him damnit!

Donna stood next to her father, her heart went out to Eric, Laurie, and Kitty. Although she never really had any profound moments with Red, she had liked him and respected him in most things. He had been a good man, honest and hard working and her father's best friend. Donna put a hand to her stomach and watched the casket be lowered into the ground. I'll miss you Red, you would have made a great grandpa.

Hyde was not taking Red's death well. When his dad had left, Hyde hadn't cried, when his mom had bailed, he hadn't cried, but now as he watched Red's coffin hit the ground, it all let loose. No one could hear his quiet sobs but Jackie, she turned around and hugged him tightly. Red had been a father figure to Hyde that hadn't bailed no matter how many times Hyde had screwed up and how had Hyde repayed him, by doing more screwed up things! Hyde just wished he could have had one more chance to tell Red. "Thank you for not bailing on me and I'm sorry." Kelso came up behind Hyde and put his hand on his shoulder, not having anything really helpful to say.

Before they started covering the casket with dirt, Kitty and Laurie laid a red rose each on the casket. Eric knelt down and placed a small folded up piece of paper on the casket. They all three backed up and dirt began to fill the hole, making everyone realize that Red was truly gone.

Once again Kitty collapsed sobbing, Eric rished to catch her, but for the first time ever, she pushed Eric away from her. Eric was stunned, but only for a moment. Maybe she blamed him. The thought occured to Eric and he couldn't take it, he took off into the downpour, running blindly through the cemetary, just wanting to die.

Hyde walked over and helped Kitty to her feet, supporting her enough to get her into the car. Jackie got in the car beside Kitty and Kitty just cried on her shoulder. Hyde then closed the door and turned to see Donna standing there. Her eyes said it all. Go and find Eric before he does something stupid. Hyde nodded. "Get yourself out of the rain, I'll go find Forman." Donna nodded and got into the drivers seat. She started the engine and all threee women drove away from the cemetary.

Hyde didn't care about the rain, it didn't really bother him. He swerved around the gravestones, searching for his friend. He knew what Eric was thinking, he had seen it in his eyes after Kitty had pushed him away. He blamed himself for Red's death and knowing Eric, he was about to do something really stupid.

He followed his instinct, just hoping he would find Eric soon.


Eric sat amongst the gravestones, his heart racing wildly in his chest. He couldn't go back home, not with his mom. It was now that he agrred with his initial thought, it was his fault that Red had died. If he hadn't been so persistent to get married, then to move out, this probably would have never happened. How could Eric live with himself when he knew that?

He realized he couldn't and didn't want to either.
