Chapter 2

"I hope he's not sick." said Kitty.

"I'm sure he's fine." said Red.

After a few minutes later Hyde came up the stairs and sat down at the table. Everyone just stared at him, and it didn't take long for him to notice.

"What's wrong with everyone?" asked a curious Hyde.

"We were about to ask you the very same thing." said Red.

Sam seemed angry, and told us we needed to talk to some sense into you." said Eric.

"I don't want to talk about it." said Hyde as he shoved eggs into his mouth.

"But maybe you'll feel..." started Kitty.

"Look Kitty, he doesn't want to talk about it, and we shouldn't make him." said Red.

After breakfast Hyde headed down to the Photo Hut, when Eric suddenly stopped.

"Are you sure your ok?" asked Eric.

"Yes, I'm just depressed because the girl of my dreams turned me down." said Hyde.

Hyde turned his back toward Eric, and headed off to work.

A few hours later Donna came over to spend some time with Eric. They were sitting in the basement, but Eric couldn't keep what Hyde had said to him a secret.

"Hey Donna. Guess what?" asked Eric.

"What?" asked Donna.

"Hyde told me what was wrong with him. He said that some girl turned him down. He also said that this girl was the girl of his dreams." said Eric.

"Did he say who the girl was?" asked Donna.

"No, but whoever she is must be something special. Hyde never was sad over a girl before ever." said Eric.

Donna gave Eric a kiss on the lips. As they pulled away, Eric looked confused.

"What was that for?" asked Eric.

"Can't a girlfriend kiss her boyfriend?" asked Donna.

Eric leaned onto Donna now lying on the couch making out, until they heard the basement door open. They thought that it might have been Red or Kitty, but it turned out to be just Fez.

"Are you guys going to do it?" asked a hopeful Fez.

Donna just smiled trying not to laugh.

Hyde walked into the Photo Hut to find Leo already stoned. Hyde sat down and joined Leo.

"Hey Leo. Can I talk to you?"

"Yeah, sure man." said a very stoned Leo.

"There is this girl that I am totally in love with. But she's with someone else. She really loves this guy. I told her how I felt and she turned me down. All I do is think about her, and I don't know what to do about it." said Hyde.

"Wow, man. It sounds like you have a real problem." said Leo.

"Yeah, I know. So, what do I do?" said Hyde.

"I don't know man, I just figured out that you have a real problem." said Leo.

The rest of the work day was really slow, he kept thinking about Donna. Knowing that he had told her how he felt he was scared now that she might act differently around him, or worse, tell Eric. When he entered the Foreman home, he entered cautiously, not knowing if Donna or Eric were still there, or if Eric found out about his feelings for Donna. It's not like he was scared of Eric, he was so skinny, and weak, but scared that he might lose the best friend he had ever had. As he walked down the stairs to the basement, he could hear the television on, and knew that the gang must be down there too, but as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he noticed that it was just Donna sitting on the couch.

"Um...Hi." said Hyde.

"Hi Hyde." said Donna with her arms crossed.

"Where's Eric?"

"He went to his room for something. He should be back real soon." said Donna.

"Oh." said Hyde as he took a seat on his favorite stool next to the couch. It remained quiet for a few more minutes until Donna finally spoke up.

"Where the hell do you get off telling Eric about your feelings for me.?" yelled Donna.

"I didn't tell him it was you."

"But still, you and I know who it is, and when Eric told me the story, I had to pretend that I didn't know anything about it. Why after all these years is when you decide tell me how you feel? You know that I am with Eric. I love Eric." yelled Donna.

"I know. I'm sorry. I should have told you these feelings before. But I guess I was just scared. Scared about what you would do. We were friends, and I didn't want to lose that, but now I just can't hide these feelings anymore. And Eric. He's my best friend. I don't want to hurt him. He's like a brother to me." said Hyde as he got up from the stool, and sat on the couch next to Donna. Hyde looked at Donna, as Donna looked back at him.

"I love you Donna." said Hyde.

Donna and Hyde's faces started moving closer until they heard a creak from the basement stairs that startled them.

"Sorry, it took so long Donna. I couldn't find it...Oh, hey Hyde. When did you get here?"

"Just a minute ago, and what couldn't you find?" asked Hyde.

"My Led Zeplin record. Donna wanted to borrow it." said Eric as he handed the record to Donna.

"Thanks for letting me borrow the record, but I have to go home. My mom wants me home for dinner. It's spaghetti and meatballs night." said Donna with a fake smile on her face. Hyde could tell the real reason why Donna wanted to leave.

Eric just looked at Hyde. What Hyde didn't know was that Eric accidentally walked in when the two of them were talking and heard everything that Hyde and Donna said.

Hyde didn't know it at first, but after awhile of awkward silence, he noticed that he must have found out.

"Look Eric I just want to say..." said Hyde before Eric interrupted him.

"I didn't want to say anything in front of Donna, but I can't believe you would do this to me. Hyde your my best friend. Out of everyone I would think that Kelso would be that shallow, but you."

"How did you find out?" said Hyde.

"I heard the two of you talking, and pretended that I had just walked in...and you know what? It really doesn't matter how I found out, it's about how my best friend could betray me like that. Get the hell out of my house." yelled Eric.

Hyde got up off the couch and walked out the door. Eric couldn't believe what had just happened. His best friend had stabbed him in the back, and Donna, knew this whole time about Hyde's feelings, and didn't tell him. He didn't know who he was more mad at, Hyde or Donna? Eric walked out the door, and decided that he would go for a walk. He didn't know where to go, just went where ever his feet would take him. He walked all the way to the hub, and saw Kelso, and Jackie sitting at a table eating, and decided to go in. He pulled out a chair, and sat across from them not saying a word.

"Eric, is there something wrong?" said Jackie.

"You know what I just found out?" said Eric really mad.

"No. What?" said Kelso.

"I just found out that my girlfriend, and my best friend were hiding something from me." said Eric.

"Look Eric, I never touched Donna. I swear." said Kelso.

"What Kelso?┘┘No. I mean Hyde." said Eric.

"Hyde's in love with Donna. And I think she might be in love with him." said Eric as he put his head down on the table.

"Oh my gosh Eric. What are you going to do." said Jackie. Eric lifted his head up, and Kelso and Jackie could see the tears in his eyes.

"I don't know. I'm going to have to talk to Donna." said Eric.

Eric didn't even wait to hear if Jackie or Kelso had anything to say, he walked out of the Hub and headed to Donna's house. He rang the door bell, but there was no answer.

He decided to walk back to his house, and straight to the basement. There he saw Donna and Hyde sitting on the couch making out. Eric grabbed Hyde and pulled him off of Donna. Eric didn't know where all this strength was coming from, but at the moment he didn't care.
"Eric please don't..." said Donna as she started to cry. But Eric just ignored her, and continued to shove Hyde.

"Get the hell out Hyde. I never want to see you again. Our friendship is over." yelled Eric. Hyde left and Donna turned to Eric not knowing what to say to him. Finally he spoke first. He didn't yell at her like he thought he would.

"Donna. What's going on? Do you love Hyde?" asked Eric. She closed her eyes real tight for a minute then opened them again. She knew she had to tell him the truth.

"I don't want to hurt you Eric. I do love you. But I love Hyde too." said Donna as years started rolling down her cheek. They walked over to the couch and sat down facing each other.

"Donna you have to choose." said Eric. She was afraid that Eric was going to say that.

"Please don't do this now. I am so confused." said Donna still crying.

"I love you Donna, and if you want to be with Hyde I think I deserve to know now. I don't want to wait knowing that you could pick him.

"Eric you are my best friend, and I hope that never changes. I love you so much. But I choose Hyde. Please don't hate me Eric."

"I could never hate you." said Eric. And with that Donna ran out to find Hyde leaving Eric all alone in the basement. He waited until Donna was out of sight, then he started to cry. He loved Donna, but if she loved someone else, he couldn't live with himself knowing that. He knew that he would never love anyone as much as he loved Donna. Eric suddenly felt a soft jolt and he opened his eyes to find Donna to the right of him sleeping naked beside him. "That's it. It was all a dream." He covered Donna a little more with the blanket and held her close. Then he whispered "I love you" softly and closed his eyes, and drifted off back to sleep.
