Fez entered the basement frowning as he saw Jackie. "Have you been crying?" he asked siting down on the other side of her. Crying…why didn't I notice that…Hyde thought shaking his head. "Hey I'm gonna go get come pop, anyone want some?"

"Yes please." Jackie said smiling. Hyde nodded getting up. "Hyde wait." She said grabbing his hand and pulling him down again. He looked at her confused, "I just want to say thanks for being such a great friend." With that she kissed him on the cheek. 'Friend' the word both stung Hyde and made him feel good. A friend…that's all she thought of him, though friend was better than nothing.

"No problem Jacks." He said getting up and heading out the door. Fez stared after him for a moment before turning back to Jackie.

" What happened?" he asked looking at her, "You have been crying." She shook her head, looking at her feet. He cupped her chin in his hand and brought her face to his so they were inches away. "You can trust me. What is it?"

"My dad he…"

"I know, Mr. Foreman told us while you and Hyde were down here. Is that why you are crying? Because if it is, you do not have to worry, we will protect you." he said smiling.

"He came back here to get me." She said her bottom lip trembling. "He hit me and Erik tried to stop him…and if Red hadn't been there he might have hurt Erik really bad…I couldn't live with myself if that happened. I just…" he took in a raspy breath trying to cry, "I don't want any of you guys to get hurt because of me." She looked down at her hands in her lap, a helpless look on her face. "I couldn't live with myself…" she began to cry. He wrapped his strong arms around her loosely, as not to hurt her, resting his face bye her ear.

"Shhhhh. Don't worry." He said burying his face in her hair, "It will be okay. Don't worry about it, we'll take care of ourselves, you just worry about yourself and getting better, okay?" she nodded, sniffling and looking up at him.

"Fez where would I be without you?" she asked smiling. He smiled back.

"Jackie…" he said slowly. "Can…can I kiss you?" she nodded as a relieved expression passed over his face. Leaning in tentatively he kissed her softly as first, waiting for her to kiss him back before running his tongue along her lips, asking for entrance. She opened her mouth, kissing him with more intensity as he reached a hand up to graze her cheek. He returned the intensity eagerly now, exploring her mouth with his tongue. The kiss finally ended, leaving both parties breathless.

"Fez." She said resting her head on his shoulder, " You are the most amazing person I met. You've always been there for me, been there when I treated you like shit, you're the most trust worthy, honest, loving, understanding, romantic guy I've ever met. I just wish I could have realized sooner…"

"Jackie." He said kissing her forehead, " You are all of those things and more. It is Kelso, Hyde and Erik who should have realized sooner."

"I don't want Erik, Hyde or Kelso. I want you." she said resting her head on his shoulder. He smiled, stroking her hair softly.

"You have me, you always will." He said kissing the top of her head. She smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek.

" And you will always have me." She slid her hand into his, entwining their finger and kissing him softly. Both pulled apart quickly as Hyde came back down the stairs, three pops in hand.

"Hey guys." Her said eyeing them strangely and passing Fez his and Jackie's coke's. what the hell. They look like they've been kissing or something. Oh my god. Jackie's god that lovey dovey look in her eyes…those eyes. Snap out of it man! And look at Fez. He looks different. Man I'm just being paranoid. Get a grip. Say something! "Ugh…so anything god on t.v.?"

"I don't know." Jackie said twisting around so that she was facing the t.v. Hyde got up, mumbling something about Erik always losing the channel changer and turning the knob. Jackie couldn't help but glance at Fez and smile. Needless to say she was more than somewhat confused at what had happened. Did this mean he wanted to date her steadily? Or was it just one of those caught-up-in-the-moment things? Why had they moved from each other when Hyde came downstairs again. Surely she wasn't embarrassed. Oh well, there were plenty of hours in the day to talk to Fez. The accepted her opened coke from fez and inched quietly closer to him.

"Well." Hyde said, " the only thing on is Charlie's Angels, you guys wanna watch that?"

"Yeah sure." Fez said smiling. I can't believe it. It has finally happened. Jackie and I are truly in love. I wonder when we shall tell everybody else? She is so beautiful, and so strong . We were meant for each other, I know it. After watching all of the emotional abuse Jackie has suffered and now learning of all the physical abuse she has also had to endure, it makes my respect for her grow even more than before. I can not wait till Kelso comes back to tell him the news, to see the look on his face when he realizes that she has found somebody who will really treat her the way she deserves. He has hurt her for that last time.

"Uh, Fez?" Hyde said getting up, "You can I talk to you for a minute? In private?"
