Everything Changes
Chapter one – Two Moments of Weakness
The Basement -Hyde's bedroom
7:14pm That First Day.
Hyde and Jackie were lying on the cot; Hyde had his arms wrapped around Jackie holding her in a tight embrace. He looked at her sleeping silently, half not wanting this moment to end half wishing it had never happened. Once everyone found out that he'd slept with Jackie he knew they'd go mad, but he didn't care. He was more worried about how Jackie was going to react when she woke up. Everything between them would be different now, all because of one moment of weakness.
'Well two moments of weakness' He thought 'but who's counting?' He smirked remembering how good it felt to have Jackie's naked body beneath his while he thrust himself into her, all the while she was passionately moaning and craving for him to make her feel. He could barely even remember how the two if them came to be here, he hated Jackie, she was a rich, snobby, stuck-up cheerleader who looked down on him, this shouldn't be what he wanted yet somehow it felt right.
(Flashback)- Hyde's Bedroom
8:42 - That Morning
Hyde had woken up a while ago, and had gotten out of bed intending to forget all about the activities of the previous night. He instantly regretted this and wished he had just stayed in bed; he hadn't been able to stop thinking about Jackie since he woke and couldn't get the image of her out of his mind.
'Why the hell do I keep thinking about her? She's Jackie, that annoying little cheerleader who I hated for eight years.' He immediately regretted thinking about this and started thinking about Jackie wearing her tight cheerleading uniform which used to show those amazing legs she's got. 'Yeah, she's hot, but she's still Jackie... Kelso's ex-girlfriend. You can't think about her like this, man.' He told himself. He tried to remind himself of how annoying she used to be, but last night she was different, so...vulnerable. Now all he could think about was kissing those plump lips which he knew were begging for his attention. Hyde exited his bedroom with the intention of sitting in the basement and drinking Jackie away from his mind.
(Flashback) Jackie's bedroom
8:42am That Morning
Jackie awoke the next morning not knowing where she was, she had had a lot to drink the previous night and she was still trying to piece together the information, one thing she could remember was talking to Steven, laughing with Steven…wanting Steven.
'He was so different yesterday; for one thing he didn't hate me. He was actually considerate of my feelings; I can't remember the last time I felt like that. Michael always made me miserable, but Steven…'
A knock at the door followed by a voice asking to come in made Jackie aware of what she was thinking about and was glad for the interruption, she couldn't think about Steven in that way, he was a poor, scruffy, orphan... she was Jackie Burkhart, her and Steven didn't make sense...did they?
'Come in' Jackie called to the voice at the door and her father entered and sat down on the end of her bed which momentarily made Jackie's jaw drop, shocked at her fathers surprise visit. It wasn't that she never saw her father, because she did all the time, but they rarely ever talked.
'Jacquelyn, we need to talk' Jackie couldn't stand it when he called her 'Jacquelyn', no one ever called her that apart from her father and it always made her feel small. She simply nodded and waited for her father to continue talking.
'I will be going away on business for a while, so you will have to stay here and let the help look after you.' He looked at her with icy cold eyes fixing a hard gaze upon her. She never knew why he looked at her like that, but she guessed it was because she reminded him of her mother who had walked out on them both a few years ago, but she shouldn't be punished for that. Jackie nodded again in answer to this and her father left the room after telling her that he'd be back in a few weeks.
She was used to him going away on business trips, but it was times like these she wished she had a mother to take care of her instead of the help. She missed her mother and would sometimes sit and fantasize about her mother returning from Mexico. Her mother would hug her, promise never to leave again and tell her that she loved her... then she would of course give her lots of presents showering her with expensive gifts from jewellery to clothes. But the reality was that Pam Burkhart was unlikely to ever return and this hurt Jackie more then she let on to anyone.
Hyde's Bedroom
Back to that night – 7:57pm
Hyde had decided that it was best for him not to be there when Jackie woke up and had left just in time. Before opening her eyes Jackie reached her hand out to feel an empty space beside her. She opened her eyes startled and looked around the small dark room to find it empty and quickly begun to panic.
'Oh god… what if last night meant nothing to him? What if he was regretting it? What if he didn't like me?'
Jackie felt lost as she stood up and began to look around the room for her clothes, which had been torn of her and scattered around the room only a few hours ago, but couldn't see her clothes anywhere as it was now dark. She began to feel around for her clothes but couldn't find them; she sighed, sat back on the cot and covered her self up with the blanket bringing with it an unmistakable scent of Steven Hyde. She hugged the blanket and smiled as remembering the way he touched her, how different it felt to what she expected, so… soft, sensitive, protective and rough all at the same time. She closed her eyes and again inhaled the odor left on the blanket by Steven.
She wiggled her toes as she realized her feet were touching something soft, so unlike the hard wooden floor of his bedroom, she looked down closely and saw her clothes folded into a neat pile beside the cot and smiled inwardly knowing Steven must have put them there.
(Flashback) The Basement
1.02 pm That Afternoon
Jackie entered the basement to find Hyde sitting alone with beer. She didn't know exactly why she was here but she just knew she didn't want to be sat at home alone all day, she had completely forgotten that Donna and Kelso had gone to California and for the first time in her life she prayed that Eric would drag his scrawny little ass down the stairs. Both Hyde and Jackie stood in silence for a while, neither knowing what to say. Jackie didn't know why it was even awkward between them, nothing had even happened between them.
'So… where's Eric?' Jackie asked and sat down on the Sofa trying to act nonchalant.
'He went to California to get Donna back.' Hyde said remaining Zen. Jackie hated this and he knew it and quite enjoyed it too. Jackie looks at the TV and sees the price is right is on.
'Another old lady. She can't even reach the wheel.' Jackie continues to look at the TV.
'I can't watch "The Price is Right" again. I just can't.' Hyde say's trying to make conversation.
'This summer totally sucks. There's nothing to do.' Jackie replies also trying to make conversation.
Jackie glances over in Hyde's direction.
'C'mon Jackie you can't think like this, he's Hyde. Although he does look really hot today, wait... stop it.' She looks away from him
Hyde looks over in Jackie's direction.
'Keep it together man. She's Kelso ex, she doesn't think about you that way.' He looks away from her.
They both look at each other at the same time and as their eyes lock as they both think 'Screw it'. Hyde leans over and kisses Jackie passionately enjoying every second of it.
The basement
That night…again – 8:04
Hyde is sat in his chair contemplating whether he she check on Jackie or not; if she was awake then things could get awkward but if she was asleep there was no point in checking on her.
'Stop being such a coward and get back in there. You're gonna have to talk to her sooner or later… but what the hell am I supposed to say?'
Hyde sat back in his chair wondering exactly what he was going to say to Jackie. A few minutes later Jackie walked out of his room and stood watching him… frozen. Hyde not noticing Jackie was there, began to stand up to go check on her, then decided against it knowing he wouldn't know what to say and sat back down, calling himself a moron out loud as he did so. Jackie stood smiling at him slightly more relaxed as he did this again a few more times until he finally decided he was going to go wake her up. He stood up and turned noticing she was stood watching him looking amused, he stood still…frozen.
