A/N: I'm going to make this into an actually story after some reviews urged me to. I'm thinking that this is going to be maybe 10 or 12 chapters long but I'm not exactly sure yet.

Steven Hyde sat in his chair in the basement with his arms crossed over his chest, his usual stance now. His aviators protected his eyes from people in the room from seeing the pain in his eyes from the peppy, narcissistic woman that he was in love with. They had stopped talking, due to the fact that whenever they did talk, they were usually insulting each other. He watched as Jackie laughed about something that Fez had said to the group but he wasn't paying attention. Although he was happy for the kid to have a girl, he wasn't happy that the girl was his girl. Hyde looked at Jackie again, not wanting to make it to obvious that he was watching her. Everyone in the group knew that he had nothing but bad feelings towards Jackie now but what they didn't know was that it was a cover-up. He still loved the girl that he remembered from the 70's who dated Kelso.
"Hyde, wasn't that funny?" Fez said, putting his arm around Jackie with a happy smile that was always seen on his face.
"Yeah, sure" Hyde said quickly, not wanting to talk much to him. They were friends but when it came to Jackie, nothing else mattered to Hyde. He silently told himself to become more Zen when around the gang.
"So, I was thinking we could all go to Chicago to celebrate Fez and I's 1 month anniversary. Maybe we could to a disco there and then out to eat?" Jackie said to everyone, making sure she looked at Hyde. Truthfully, Jackie acted like she was over the curly haired man when in reality, she was still broken with the fact that they ended badly because of her. Things between them were never going to be the same, she knew that but Jackie knew they had to be civil or it would for sure break up the gang.
"Sure, Eric and I would love to go" Donna said and nudged Eric slightly as Eric looked up at Jackie "Oh, yay. Celebrating the Devil's time with a soul that she devoured" Eric said sarcastically and Donna hit him slightly.
"Of course I'm going, we're in my native land and I can show you everything there" Kelso said excitingly before he turned over to Hyde "What about you buddy? You going to go to the disco with us?" He questioned before a scoff came to Hyde's mouth. The last thing that Hyde was going to do was go to a disco, especially if it meant that he was going to have to watch Jackie and Fez be all over each other.
"Yeah, how about no. I'd rather stab myself in the eye than go 'celebrate' with the Devil" Hyde smirked and looked at Jackie. Although he was hurting, the only thing that he knew how to do was cover his pain by making fun of everyone and putting the people that he loved down, which was harder for him than he expected.
Jackie sat there, slightly leaned into Fez's side, unable to comprehend what was going on. Of course Steven had been mean to her ever since their breakup but he had never gone to the extreme of calling her the devil, Eric did that mostly. It became quiet between the whole group and Eric and Donna left to go 'study' which was code for going to have sex. Fez and Kelso left to go shoot off bottle rockets, which left the two ex-lovers alone in the basement. There was an awkward silence between them before Jackie started to talk again.
"Why can't you just be happy for me?" Jackie questioned and shook her head "I don't even think you care about me being happy anymore, all you care about is making my life a living hell?"
"Whatever. I'm not trying to make it a living a hell, you just let me make it one" Hyde shrugged and used all the Zen he could muster right now. He wanted to tell her everything that he was feeling right now, all of the hurt that he still felt from seeing Kelso and her in that hotel room together but he couldn't. That would mean giving her some kind of satisfaction.
"Really? Every time we talk or are in the same room, you have to say something insulting to me. What the hell did I do to you?" She said a little louder this time, regretting what she had just said because in fact, she had done something bad to him, something that he had never thought would happen to him' love.
Hyde laughed sarcastically and shook his head "What did you do to me? You made me this… this hurting guy that fell in love with a rich, pathetic girl. You hurt me so bad by sleeping with him, especially him. Kelso has been nothing but a jerk to you and you would still let him sleep with you? That shows how highly you think of yourself. You let yourself get hurt by him because you think that he's the best you'll ever get. All that princess crap and happy endings have messed with your head" He said, rolling his eyes slightly
"And you think you going off and marrying Sam didn't hurt me? You didn't want to marry me but you marry a skank in Las Vegas. I was going to sleep with him because I was hurt… You didn't want to marry me and you told me to 'have a good trip.' I'm sure you had a good trip though" Jackie said and crossed her arms over her chest, not looking him in the eye, not wanting to look at his aviators that hid his blue eyes.
"I married her because I was drunk, I had no idea what I was doing. It wouldn't have happened if you weren't going to go to Chicago. I went to Las Vegas because I was hurt and had nothing left" Hyde said and stood up then stood in front of her "That was one of the worst trips I've ever had because of you"
Jackie looked up at him, not knowing what to say to him. It seemed like the girl who could talk for days had nothing to say, which scared Hyde slightly. She shook her head and let out a sigh before a few stray tears came from her eyes "I just… wanted to marry you Hyde" Looking down, Jackie wiped her tears from her face and took a deep breath in, calming herself before she heard the words she thought she would never hear .
"I did want to marry you" Hyde said before he coughed slightly, looking up and biting his lip "But I don't anymore" He said and walked away to his room and that's when he started to lose it. He took his old radio and threw it against the wall, not wanting to let his mind start to think again. It only brought him pain.
Jackie sat on the couch, stunned at the words. It was like she was the happiest person in the world before he had to say something else, which gave her a world of hurt. It was like she was unable to move and no emotion was on her face. All that she did now was get up and started to walk to her apartment, swearing to herself that she will never, ever think about Steven Hyde again.
A/N: How do you like it? Leave me some reviews, they would be lovely!
