Author's note: Hello guys! So I have been rewatching the show and was wondering how different it would be if Jackie had lived with the Formans for a long time? A lot of stories has Jackie dating Hyde from the beginning, but I feel like they also erase her bitchy cheerleading characteristics which we all love and hate. So I want to keep that and still want to explore the characters' relationships if there was just a little different. For the most part, a lot of the plot would be the same except for little twists and turns. So please do review your thoughts and ideas! Thank you for reading!

The little girl sat in the couch, legs pressed against her chest as she read her storybook. It was about a princess who was trapped in a castle, and she waited for her Prince Charming to come and rescue her away from the monster that kept her in the castle. The girl liked to think that she was just like that princess, except she was waiting for her mommy to come home. Her mommy would come and everything will be fine.

It wasn't the first time her mommy disappeared. The first time it happened, she cried for hours until she realized that her mother wasn't picking her up from her kindergarten. Her teacher had looked at her with such pity as she called her mommy. Her mommy came with flimsy excuses and a beautiful smile, and the girl accepted it. After all, it was her mommy, she would forgive her for everything.

The next time it happened she disappeared for an entire weekend, the girl stayed in their small apartment, going down to the park for a few hours before returning to her empty home. She ate as much as chips and chocolate she wanted, and she convinced herself that it was the best weekend because she could do whatever she wanted. The next morning her mommy was sleeping on the couch, as she snuggled up against her mommy, the little girl figured it was okay to skip one day of school if she could spend it with her mommy.

This time, however, it was different. Days went by since her mommy came with a strange man. He wore a nice suit and said something that made her mommy giggle, so she guessed it was okay. But the man kept touching her mommy, and when she didn't bother kissing her the little girl decided she hated this man for stealing her mommy. They left at night, her mommy promising her a pancake breakfast before tucking her in bed and kissing her forehead gently.

When she woke up, there was no smell of pancakes or bacon, and she got into the kitchen to find no one. She found a note stuck on the fridge, and all it said was "I am sorry."

A week passed by and the little girl didn't say anything to anybody. She would sometimes have dinner with the nice grandma and grandpa down the hall, and whenever they would ask her questions about mommy she'll tell them that she had work. They would share a glance that she ignored and the girl enjoyed the chicken parmesan that the nice grandmother made.

Now, she was in the living room watching the television and eating chips. It was 8 P.M. and she sat there on the couch just sitting. She had washed her hair all by herself today, she was proud of that. Her eyelids were getting heavy but she didn't want to sleep just yet. Her mommy would come and tuck her in and keep the monsters away. She doesn't want to sleep alone.

The sudden knocking caused the girl to flinch. She rushed to the door, maybe her mommy forgot the key and couldn't get in. But her heart stopped at the sight of the nice old couple. "Hello sweetie, can we come in?" The grandma asked with a sweet smile.

The girl couldn't say anything, disappointment rushing her entire body. She just stood by and let the old couple in her apartment. She could see with their concerning looks and whispers that they knew. They knew they knew they knew the-

"Honey where's your mother?" The grandpa asked, his eyes looking straight into her eyes and the girl couldn't speak. She couldn't say anything. Seeing the heartbroken expression the grandpa pulled the girl into his arms. He felt her shaking with sobs and shared a worried glance with his wife.

"It'll be okay. Everything will be fine," the grandpa promised. But the little girl didn't believe in it anymore.

Jackie didn't believe in promises anymore.
