Just the way you are

Stevens POV

Jackie came to the basement feeling crappy or at least looking like it. I knew she wanted to keep to herself but I couldn't take it anymore. I had to tell her even if it sounded stupid or nosy.

"Jackie, what's wrong man?" I said concerned.

She looked at me in the worse look. I was frustrated but she didn't see it through my sunglasses I used to cover up what I was feeling.

"I'm ugly, Hyde" she stated as a few seconds later she started to cry. I thought it was a phase with girls and then I saw pain in her eyes when I looked at her brown big puppy dog eyes. I wanted to hug her and maybe kiss her. "I hate the way I look" she said as she wiped her under her eyes for any unwanted mascara or eye liner.

"Jacks, c'mon look at you. Head cheerleader, and the most popular girl in school. You're amazing and kind of beautiful" I said as she flushed a pink color and while I couldn't comprehend what words came out of my mouth. Lately I've been having these feelings and I can't control them. Like when she comes near me I can't talk and I get nervous and I get this throw up feeling in my stomach. I think I'm in love with her. Damn it now I'm starting to sound like Forman. Damn hopeless romantic.

"Jackie you know my feelings for you right? Understand all your options right?" I said unsure.

"Hyde like I said I don't feel like that for you" she said like she was forcing the words to come out like she didn't want it to.

"I don't buy it, Jackie. I know you feel something for me. More than that Chip guy you're dating. "Please Jackie I miss you". I leaned down and pressed her lips to so softly and peacefully. She wanted to kiss me more but then she probably thought about it and pushed away.

"Stop, Steven. This is not me. Cheating on Chip I just can't do it. You hurt me in the past and I just can't be with someone who screwed me over like you and Kelso did. I'm sorry" she said nose to nose to me and just like that she walked out of the basement. She walked away from me. I couldn't do nothing but just let her choose the path that made her the happiest. I love her that much.
