Hyde heard sobbing a little ways ahead and knew that Eric was close by. The sun had set a half hour ago and Hyde was freezing cold, soaked to the bone. The sky had turned dark, occasional burst of lightening was the only light Hyde had to work with. He had never expected it to take this long to find Forman and knock some sense into him. What he saw surprised the hell out of him.

Eric stood on the edge of a small cliff, literally. He stared over the edge, a look of deep pain in his eyes. Hyde knew that it was a long way down and that Eric had no reservations of jumping, not after what happened with Kitty. Hyde kept his voice as gentle as he could make it. "Forman."

Eric heard his name and turned to see Hyde standing in the pouring rain, staring at Eric with a look that made Eric nearly jump then and there, it was a look of pity. He didn't need or want pity, what he needed was a way to escape the guilt and hurt he felt inside and he had found that way out. "Stay back Hyde." His voice shook, not only from the cold, but from the shakiness of his desicion. His vision blurred as he peered over the side, below was a long fall, ending abruptly on a rocky shore, just beside the lake. Never before had Eric ever thought of ending his life, but Red's death had changed so many things.

"Come on Forman, don't be stupid. Killing yourself isn't the answer" Hyde moved closer, if he could get close enough, he could grab Eric away from the ledge and tackle him to the ground until he could talk sense into the pain stricken boy.

Eric took another step towards the ledge. "I mean it Hyde, stop now or I'm jumping."

"You really think this is what Red would want?" Hyde asked, still moving towards him.

Eric fully turned towards Hyde, tears falling down his cheeks, he truly was a heart breaking sight to see. "Don't give me that bullshit, what Red wants doesn't really matter, he's dead because of me."

Hyde was right beside Eric now as Eric broke down again, but he knew that he had to be tough with Eric, only until they were away from the ledge. "Dude, you think you are the only one here, you're not the only one who lost Red, we all did." Eric looked up at Hyde and just stared off into space. What he was thinking, Hyde couldn't even guess.

Eric's mind took him back to when Kitty had signed Eric and Red up for a father/son competition. Both Red and Eric had hated the idea and had fought through most of it, though not with the other teams but with each other. After a few competitions though, things between the two changed for the better, they gained some trust in each other skills and Eric felt like he had a father and not a drill sargent. All Eric wanted was to hear his father's words. "I'm proud of you."

Eric came out of his daze and stared at Hyde for a moment. "If I hadn't made some of the screwed up desicions, then Red would still be here to kick my ass."

Hyde shook his head, having to shout now because of the rain and thunder. "Bullshit, you are just looking for a way out, well if you aren't going to think of your skinny ass, then think of your mother and Donna and everyone else. Don't you think we have been through enough crap? Your mom's had her heart ripped out, you killing yourself out of guilt may kill her altogether and what about Donna?"

"What about Donna?" Eric hadn't thought about how his mom would take his suicide, he didn't want to hurt her anymore then she already was hurting.

"She's pregnant you dumbass!" Hyde covered his mouth, he had spilled the secret that Donna had sworn him to keep. Donna had been planning on telling Eric once they moved to Madison. She had come crying to Hyde when she had found out, scared to death, then had sworn Hyde to secrecy.

Eric was in complete shock, why hadn't Donna told him? A bolt of lightening made both boys jump up in the air, the slippery grass made it hard to stand. Eric screamed as he began falling backwards, over the edge. Hyde grabbed at Eric's shirt, but he had no traction and he too slipped over the edge.


Donna sat in Eric's living room with Kitty, Laurie and Jackie. Kitty was still crying, but her sobs had quieted down a bit. None of the women could really think of anything to say to each other, the taxing day had left them all physically and emotionally exhausted. Both Jackie and Laurie had stopped crying and were both yawning. Donna rubbed her stomach, she had found out she was pregnant a month ago, but had been afraid of telling anyone. Now it seemed too strange to say now.

The only person who knew was Hyde, Donna had been afraid to tell Eric, she had started to, but then had said she was joking because they both were in front of Red and Kitty. She couldn't get through the pregnancy alone, she needed everyone's support, she needed Eric. Where was Eric and Hyde, they should have come back by now, it was nearly midnight.. Donna had a bad feeling. The phone rang, causing all four women to jump. Kitty ignored it, believing it to be some person offering their condolances, but Donna knew somehow that it was important. She got up off Red's chair and went into the kitchen to answer the phone. "Hello?"

A deep male voice responded. "Excuse me, is this the Forman's residence?"

"Um, yeah."

"May I speak with the mother of Eric Forman?" Donna's heart plummeted. No, please don't be hurt Eric.

"What's wrong, is he hurt, where is he?" Donna's panicky voice brought Jackie into the kitchen, but Donna's full attention was on the phone.

The man's voice paused for a moment. "I am sorry, we can only discuss this with family members."

"Don't piss me off mister, I'm his damn fiancee and I want to know what happened to him or so help me God..."

"Ok ok, calm down Miss. Eric Forman was brought into the emergency room a few moments ago along with another young man, it seems they both fell from the cemetary ledge."

Donna dropped the phone and fell to the ground, what had Eric done, not only was he hurt, but Hyde was as well. Donna's face was pale. Jackie took the phone. "What's going on?"

"We need someone to come to the hospital right away, their conditions are quite serious." Jackie then dropped the phone and began crying beside Donna. How much heartache were they going to have to deal with?
