Song: Here Without You by 3 Doors Down.
Here Without You
Night time was the hardest. During the day it was easy to cover the pain. To act like nothing bothered him. To be Hyde... Zen.
But at night, alone in his room, the walls fell down. His Zen left in place of a man full of emotion, but not prepared to deal with. Hyde no longer existed... Steven had taken his place.
He had never realized how used to her presence he had gotten until she was gone. Now that they were over (for now, if he could just get her to listen) he realized how mush space she occupied in his life. Now that he was back to his old self, the unfeeling, free Hyde, he realized he didn't want to be. Those nights alone made him see how much he needed her here: in his tiny cramped room, in his tiny cramped bed, in his tiny cramped life.
"A hundred years had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face. A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same. But all the miles had separate They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face."
It had only been a week since the whole "misunderstanding" and Jackie still refused to listen to him. Even after he had let her see his weakness, when he showed her how much he needed her by uttering those three words, still nothing. He still couldn't quite grasp the fact that he had admitted it, not only to her, but to himself as well.
And in that week all he had done was think about her. Her eyes, her smile, hell, even the way she rambled about the latest fashion line or how he should really let her take him shopping. But he had blown it all by being insecure of Kelso. KELSO! It still pissed him off.
The days were torture, silently sitting in his chair, glancing anxiously at the basement door, hoping that today would be the day that she would burst in and demand they work this out. Hell, he'd even settle for her coming in and screaming at him for being the moron he knew he was. Anything had to be better than silence, than to not even be in her life at all.
"I'm here without you baby, but your still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me." While the days were horrible, Hyde had secretly come to look forward to night. As stupid as he knew it was, and God help him he was turning into Forman, he knew in his dreams he could see Jackie, feel her, taste her, hold her. Everything he wanted desperately to do, but knew he may have ruined any real hope for again.
"The miles just keep rolling as the people either way to say hello. I hear this life is overrated but I hope it gets better as we go.
I'm here without you baby, but your still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams. And tonight girl, it's only you and me.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go It gets hard but it won't take away my love. And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done It gets hard but it won't take away my love."
And no matter how long it took for Jackie to let him explain, to let him make it up to her—he knew he could wait, because she was there—in his thoughts, his heart, his dreams.
"I'm here without you baby, but your still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams. And tonight girl, it's only you and me."
And that was enough. For now.
The End.
That's my first fic. Let me know what I could do to make it better, and if it was good at all. I really have loved reading everyone else's so I hope someone liked it.
