Sam was out of the picture forever, but the woman he loved was with one of his friends. He imagined that this was what Kelso felt when he found out that she was with Hyde. He loved that little ninety-five pound brunette with all his heart, even if he didn't want to admit it to his friends. He didn't try to break Jackie and Fez up, or hit on her; he'd hated it when Kelso did it, and didn't want that to happen to them. They seemed happy most days.

Yet, Hyde was miserable. He'd been like this ever since he realized that he'd married Sam. Yeah, it'd been fun having a stripper wife for a little while, but when he lost Jackie... He lost everything. When Sam left, he didn't eat, didn't sleep, he binged on beer and pot, but never made that empty feeling in his heart leave. He contemplated suicide, even attempted it. Unfortunately, Forman had walked into the basement when he was about to do it.

After that day, he decided to clean his act up. Not soon after his change of heart, Jackie and Fez were having relationship problems, and Hyde'd secretly hoped that they'd end it. He just wanted everything to go back to normal. He wanted his girl back. He missed her strawberry scented hair, her pink nail polish, her constantly telling him that they'd have an amazing future if he only tried. He wished that he could hold her in his arms,and that he could argue with her about music without having the hole in his heart ripped open even more. He missed his unicorn-loving, cheerleading, ambitious ex-girlfriend, and wanted to get her back. He knew that he'd never find happiness like that again. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thing and he blew it. He didn't see her taking him back, but he could hope...
