I'm so sorry it has taken me this long to update. Hopefully you'll feel it was worth the wait.

The world sucked.

No one would be surprised to hear this coming from him he knew. After all he had a reputation for hating everything. For once however his loathing wasn't to do with the government and cover-ups but a small brown haired minx who had some how stuck him in the friends zone in the last week. At first he'd thought he was making progress. She was coming over and hanging out, she'd make eye contact and she's only kicked him in the shins once.

Slowly however he'd realised this wasn't the step forward he'd thought it was. She came to him to watch bad TV and talk about the others. She didn't sit beside him, wouldn't hug him. Their only real physical contact was when shed punch his shoulder in a lame attempt at being one of the guys.

The worst of it was when they were at his store and she'd started pointing out girls she'd thought were hot to him. Randomly one day she just turned to him and said " hey why don't you ask that blonde out?" Gesturing to some bimbo in the jazz section. He'd choked on the gum he'd been chewing. "Because I'm not interested in some blonde, who clearly stuffs her bra ok!" He'll admit he did over react a tad but how would you feel if the girl you loved was trying to set you up with other people

She could not understand him.

Could he not see how hard she was trying. She'd started doing her make-up again. Was talking to him and not yelling. For the love of god she was even trying to set him up with hot women and all he would do is get pissed off and lock himself in his office for an hour. Sometimes she wondered if all the drugs had damaged the part of his brain that controlled rational thought.

Men sucked. Her first boyfriend unfaithful, her second boyfriend not only unfaithful and paranoid but unable to move on and her latest attempt at dating had grouped her in public and been ridiculously sexist. Fez was the nicest man she'd ever met and he was basically a woman.

She needed to get out of Wisconsin.

Hyde decided after spending an hour calming down in his office that he really needed to apologise to Jackie. After his reaction to her leaving he wouldn't be surprised if she believed he was insane.

He eased the door open and poked his head out to see if he should give her more time to calm down too. She seemed at ease. In fact she seemed the most relaxed she'd been in ages. What could of possibley happened in the hour that he locked away that had her looking as if all her problems had blown away.

Not being able to go much longer without knowing what was going on. He ran to her. "What's got you so happy?" "I'm moving away"

"What!"

Hyde was screaming at her. Normally she would of screamed right back and probabley kicked him but the peace she felt was impossible to ignore. All this time of feeling so out of sorts, as

If something had been suffocating her and now she understood. This town was the problem. It held everything that had ever gone wrong with her life. She needed to start from scratch. She needed to get as far out of town as she could.

She'd go to Hollywood and become a famous actress or model or designer. Meet a hearthrobe and finally be happy again. It would be hard to say goodbye to her friends but she couldn't stay here.

It had been a week since she'd decided to leave him. She already had a job as a PA for some agent and was packed and ready to leave by next Friday. He only had five days to convince her to stay. Which was going to be harder still with her back to avoiding him. He simply could not catch a break.

Donna was torn. On one hand she could no imagine her friends being happier then if they got together while on the other this Jackie that had been planning all week and chatting endlessly about what she viewed as her soon to be fame was the most happy and normal she'd seen her in months.

If there was some way Hyde could go with her but he couldn't leave his store. It was his life. Donna understood that but she still felt sick thinking of her two best friends being apart forever.

Donna wasn't helping him anymore. Saying that she wouldn't make Jackie stay when this clearly made her so much happier.

He was running out of time and options. He was getting desperate. Which is probabley why he came up with his latest plan. It was insane. If it didn't work she'd never speak to him again but it was all he could think to do.

First he got the keys for the house's many rooms of the hook. Then he called Jackie claiming he thought he'd found one of her old stuffed animals and asked her round to pick it up.

All he had to do was wait she came around two. First he hearded her into his bedroom claiming he'd left it in one of the old boxes. Then he'd slowly backed out the door and locked. Running like hell he locked the only other doors into the place before letting the now fuming Jackie out.

"What is your problem! You can not just lock people in rooms for fun" she screamed before marching to the door. Only to find it locked to. She was going to kill him, she was going to take his head and bash it against the door till he was dead and the door was forced open thus killing to birds with one stone.

"Before you get all high pitched and violent hear me out. I can't let you leave. You won't stop avoiding me and I need time to convince you that you and me are ment to be. There is nobody else that could ever make me feel the way you do and I will not let you go, all I'm asking is that you give me a few hours to win you over and if it doesn't work I'll let you go, I promise".

She took a deep breath and prepared to scream bloody murder but then stopped. What could a few hours hurt. If it would convince him the had no future then maybe it was for the best.

"Fine, you have until 9 o'clock that's 7 hours. Start talking".

And that's it for now. Please review. It will make me very happy.
