It's a Wonder We've Come So Far

Chapter One: You Should have Stayed Gone

The car slowed to a stop in front of a house that had always felt like home to her, but now it felt cold and abandoned. That feeling wasn't what she expected, but under these circumstances she understood why. Death surrounded and choked the life out of this home that was once so happy and bright. She choked back the sob that threatened to escape, a sob that would have cemented the truth. He was gone, he was gone and she never had the chance to say that she was sorry. Sorry for all the horrible things she'd done. She'd never ever get the chance to make things right. Gathering strength she never realized she possessed, she got out of the car and slowly walked to the door.

-SLAM-

Then again she wasn't surprised when he ex best friend slammed the door in her face. She was public enemy number one in her eyes. Enemy because of all her mistakes, all the times she could have set things right but never did. She knocked again and surprisingly was let in. Once inside she was half temped to retreat back to her car, because looking at the outside was nothing compared to being inside. Inside the pain, anger, sadness, and even resentment couldn't be hidden. She slowly walked around, taking everything, all the while searching for the familiar faces she hasn't seen in so long. Realizing that they had probably retreated to the only sanctuary they'd ever known she followed. However what she found wasn't what she'd left behind. The scene before her wasn't happy; in fact it wasn't even sad. It was completely emotionless. She walked down only to earn glares from the people who she has once called her friends. 'That was before,' she thought as she jumped up onto the deep freeze. What happened next started her, but she wasn't at all surprised as the joint was lit and passed around. What surprised her was when it was passed to her.

"He would have wanted you to be a part of this." Once of them uttered as she took a long drag from it. She passed it back as she let the effects calm her. Suddenly she felt it…the emptiness that has seemed to take over, but hadn't made its presence known until now. As soon as she felt it she felt more of herself breaking until she realized she was sobbing loudly and uncontrollably. Her ex best friend walked over and looked at her.

"What gives you the right to cry?" She said through clenched teeth.

"I loved him. I loved him so much and he never knew." She cried loudly enough to silence everyone.

"Well you're going to have to live with the fact that he never knew that. That he died thinking that the woman he loved hated him." She said before she took her seat once more.

Silence was all she was met with as she jumped down and headed towards the door.

"I should never have left." She said more to herself than the group before she opened the door and left.


The line of cars was so long, however it didn't even compare to the line inside. So many people had gathered to say good bye to a man that died too soon. She took her place in line, hoping that none of her old friends would recognize her. She didn't want a scene. Not here of all places. When she got to the front a hand was offered and a warm smile from a woman who was more of a mother to her than her own. Finally she was alone with him. Well as alone as she could be with 300 people around her. She stared at him and she could have sworn that he was sleeping and would wake up any second. However she knew better.

"Baby I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry." She cried as the tears poured from her eyes. As she felt herself being gently lifted up she knew she has to tell him even if it was only the empty shell of him, she had to tell him. "God Steven I love you. I love you baby come back! Please I'll do anything please just come back! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH STEVEN PLEASE COME BACK!"

Her screams could be heard throughout the room even as she was carried out. Everyone bowed their heads as they felt sorry for the girl they assumed was his lover. However her friends knew better and even though they knew this wasn't the place to confront her, they wanted to make her shut up. After all it was her fault Steven Hyde was gone. It was Jackie Burkhart's fault that he was gone…and she knew it.
