That 70's Show

Title: Knowing being friends with him, will mean you'll always be around.

Hyde walked from the basement to into the kitchen to get something to drink. That's when he noticed that Donna and Eric were making out on the vista cruiser. Eric Forman was his best friend, but he always found himself a little jealous. Eric's parents loved him, of course his father never really showed his emotion, Eric always knew he was loved. Hyde's father left him and his mother years before, and recently his mother had abandoned him, and being adopted by the Forman's. And then their was Eric's girlfriend Donna Pinciotti. She was smart, and beautiful, and Hyde had feelings for her. He tired to let them go, but the more he saw her, the more love he felt for her. He didn't ever dare to tell Eric, in fear that their friendship may suffer.

Hyde opened the refrigerator, and took out a beer, and quickly retreated back to the basement before Forman and Donna could see him staring. He sat on the couch, and turned on the television. He didn't really set it to a particular channel, but watched the first channel that he turned it to. He wasn't even paying attention, and didn't even hear when his wife Samantha entered the room.

"Hi Hyde. How was your day?"

Hyde didn't even budge. He didn't even look up, or respond to Samantha's question. Samantha walked in front of the television, and waved her arms around like a mad person, and finally Hyde broke out of his trance.

"Oh, hi Sam. When did you get home?" asked Hyde.

Just a minute ago. I said hello to you, but you looked like you were in deep thought. What could possibly have you thinking that hard? asked Samantha.

"Nothing. I'm just tired. I must have been falling asleep." said Hyde.

Hyde turned his attention on the television, and Sam just gave up and walked up the stairs into the kitchen, and grabbed what she would need to make a bologna and cheese sandwich, then retreated to the living room to sit and watch television while eating. As she walked through the swinging door she saw Donna and Eric making out on the couch. They must have heard her come in because they quickly seperated to both opposite sides of the couch. They looked at Sam with a sigh of relief.

"We thought you were Red and Kitty." said Eric.

"Oh, so I guess this means Red and Kitty are not home." said Sam.

"That would be correct." said a smiling Eric.
"Do you guys know what's wrong with Hyde? I came home from work and he looked like someone had died." asked Sam.

"Sorry, we haven't seen him all day. Something must be up." said Donna.

"Ok, sorry I interrupted your little make out session." said Sam while laughing. She left the living room and went back into the kitchen. She sat at the table eating her lunch all alone. After she was done she put her dishes in the sink, washed them, and put them away. Walking down the stairs down the basement she noticed that Hyde wasn't there. Sam wondered what could be wrong. Hyde was rarely depressed. And if he was he never showed it. Hyde didn't get back until amost 10pm, and Sam was already gone to work. Eric was sitting on the couch with Donna and Jackie, and Kelso was sitting in the armchair, while Fez sat on Hyde's usual stool. Everyone stared at Hyde as he walked through the door.

"Where were you? asked Jackie.

"None of your business." said Hyde.

"Geez, what got your penny loafers in a knot?" retorted Jackie.

"Nothing...never mind." said Hyde. He took a seat on the couch beside Jackie, and Donna. They didn't really speak, until Donna broke the silence.

"Why don't we hangout at the Hub?" said Donna. Everyone headed to the Vista Cruiser but Donna.

"Donna are you coming?" asked Eric.

"Yeah I just have to pee." said Donna. When Donna was finished and walked to the kitchen, she noticed Hyde was sitting at the table.

"Why aren't you in the car?" asked Donna.

"I was waiting for you." said Hyde.

"That was really nice of you. Thanks." said Donna. As she headed for the screen sliding door Hyde stopped her.

"Donna, I need to talk to you." said Hyde.

"Can it wait until later? The guys are waiting for us." asked Donna.

"Sure." said Hyde with a very fake smile on his face. Eric honked the horn, and Donna and Hyde headed for the Vista Cruiser.

"What took you guys so long?" asked Eric.

"Nothing." lied Hyde. The Hub was a hot spot to eat at in Point Place, but since it was late it looked as if it was deserted. They placed their order and sat in their usual spot. As soon as their food was ready, they all got up and returned to the counter. The clerk was a skinny pimpled redhead that the gang knew as Charlie. He handed the gang their food, and it was back to small talk. No one seemed to notice that Hyde wasn't saying much except for Donna. Leading Donna to realize maybe what Hyde wanted to talk about in the kitchen had to do with his mood. But Donna never said anything. After eating and talking Eric drove everybody back to his house. By now it was nearly midnight, so everyone decided to call it a night. As Donna started walking across the driveway to her house she was stopped once again by Hyde.

"Donna, I really need to talk to you." They were standing right near the basketball net, not too far from Eric's house.

"Ok." said Donna.

"Donna, ever since we were younger I've had feeling for you. And now every time I see you I have even more feelings for you."

"What?" You know I love Eric, and your married." said Hyde.

"I thought I married Sam to help me get over Jackie, but then I realized, I only dated Jackie to get over you." said Hyde. Donna was shocked. She couldn't believe this. Hyde was one of her best friends and didn't want to hurt his feelings, but she was in love with Eric.

"Hyde, that's real sweet, but I just think of you as a friend. A best friend actually. And I love Eric. He's your best friend." said Donna.

"I know, that's why I kept it to myself all these years. I didn't want to hurt him. The Foreman's' are the only ones who really care about me."

"Hyde, one day you'll find the perfect woman. But if you don't love Sam the way that she loves you than you should talk to her. Good night Hyde." said Donna.

"Night." replied Hyde disappointingly. Hyde fell asleep rather quickly despite his earlier confession. And before he knew it, Sam was just coming in from work.

"Hey sweetie. Where did you go yesterday? I wanted to say good bye before I left for work." said Sam. Hyde just rolled over looked at Sam and rolled back over again.

"What's the matter with you?" asked Sam.

"I'm just tired." lied Hyde.

"I'm your wife. You can tell me what's bothering you. I know something is wrong." said Sam.

"Getting married was a mistake." finally Hyde confessed.

Sam walked over to Hyde and hit him as hard as she could in the arm. Then she left and walked into the kitchen upstairs where she saw Red, Kitty, and Eric all enjoying breakfast.

"I don't know what's gotten into Hyde, but someone better talk to him. I'm so pissed at him right now." said a steaming Sam.

"What's wrong with Steven?" asked a worried Kitty Foreman.

"I don't know. Yesterday at the Hub he barely said a word." replied Eric.

"I hope he's not sick." said Kitty.

"I'm sure he's fine." said Red. After a few minutes later Hyde came up the stairs and sat down at the table. Everyone just stared at him, and it didn't take long for him to notice.
