Description: this is a that I wrote earlier this year. I had writers block with it for a long time but finally finished it up recently. Its a Jackie/Hyde story, nothing new there.
Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story original and the character that I made up is of my own imagination.
Author's note: this is the first story I have put up on here in more than a year, I hope anyone reading enjoys it and has the courtesy to review it as well.
Chapter #1
(Hyde's pov)
" are you ok?", I ask when I notice her once again sitting by herself sipping at a beer. This is the second time this week I've seen this girl in here. I know for a fact she's not old enough to drink. What is she doing in here all alone? Doesn't she know a more is no place for someone like her?
" what?", she mutters distractedly in response before glancing up at me startled. It doesn't take a genius to figure out this girl has been crying. There are tears practically streaming down her face. I hate seeing others upset, especially girls. I'll bet anything that she's crying over a guy, what else would be new? Its none of my business but I hate seeing her like this. The last thing I want is some jerk to come along and try to take advantage of her.
" I asked if you were ok.", I clarify once more before hesitantly taking a seat beside her. What the hell am I even doing? She didn't invite me to sit with her. I should just go while I still have a chance, save myself from embarrassment . Not everyone wants to talk about whatever is bothering them, whose to say she does? She'll probably just tell me to leave her alone? Why did I bother to ask what was the matter? Oh thats right because I'm an idiot.
" oh...I'm fine.", she lies meekly before staring down at her hands quietly. Your fine? Please who do you think your talking to? Your in a bar drinking beer sobbing to yourself. Your not fine. Clearly your upset about something. My question is, what?
Wiping my thumb against her tear stained cheek, I arch an eyebrow," you always cry when nothing is wrong?"
Rubbing at her eyes with her shirt sleeve, I watch as she takes a sip from her beer," why do you care?"
" forget I asked.", I grumble mostly to myself as I turn to walk away. See? I knew that was going to happen. Why did I even bother to show concern? Obviously she doesn't want me or anyone else to give a damn about whats bothering her. Next time I'll know not to bother giving a damn when I see someone upset and alone at least.
" no, wait. Stay, I'm sorry...I'm Jackie.", she calls after me before touching her hand lightly to my shoulder. It doesn't take long before I recognize her. Damn, never thought I'd be talking to Jackie Burkhart. I knew she somehow looked familiar, she's dating that jerk Michael Kelso if I remember correctly. I would be surprised if she caught him cheating on her, he's known for doing that.
" I know who you are. Kind of hard not to, you're a cheer leader. ….I'm Hyde.", I point out as I hesitantly introduce myself. Unsure what else to say I decide its best not to say anything at all. Last thing I want is a half drank beer tossed in my face. Why would Jackie come to a dark smelly bar? She's a cheer leader I'd have figured this wasn't her kind of hangout. Guess I was wrong about her, wonder what else I might be wrong about. She hasn't told me to get lost yet, that has to be a good sign. Maybe that means she finally wants to talk and tell me whats wrong. …...
Author's note: that was the first chapter. Its short I know, sorry but I'm a little tired. Enjoy and please leave a review, thanks :)
