NOTES: I do not own ANYTHING. FOX does. I'm just simply a big fan of That '70s Show!!! This chapter's longer than the other one.

New character comes in. Devon Garrett is captain of the soccer team and part of Jackie's group of friends. This also shows a deeper reason as to why Hyde tells Jackie that he doesn't trust her and why he cheated. There's a small flashback in this scene.

PART I

Chapter 2: "The Tin Man Made Him Bleed"

last scene between episodes 521 and 522

Hyde looked up at the clock. 11:59 AM. Come on! He was dying to get out this damn class. He cursed at the damn teacher that had caught him hanging out in his car about an hour ago. He had threatened to give Hyde Saturday Work and to give a call to his guardians if he didn't get his dope butt to class. Personally, Hyde could give a care about Saturday Work. The teacher supervising the students usually didn't care whether or they did any work. However, he didn't want Red riding up his ass.

So, there he was. Steven Hyde was actually sitting in History class. He hadn't been present in over two weeks. He could still hear the whispers going on about him. Whispers and rumors about how he had been in Juvy all last week, that's why he had not been to class. Other whispers said that he hadn't been present because he had been taken to the hospital; almost overdosing. Then, there were those rumors he liked best. That Jackie Burkhart had broken his heart and he had been too depressed to go to school and face the world.

Hyde smirked at that. Please. No girl could ever get that depressed. Even a real, real, REAL hot one. His mind wandered back to last night. In his bed. Jackie underneath him. Her lips against his. Her moans as he bit her ear. Her nails digging in to his shoulders as he ravished her neck. He was getting a little hot thinking about it.

The last few weeks were taking Hyde and Jackie's relationship was going on a different level. Their make-out sessions seemed to be more intense just like last night. Oh, his mind went back to remember it all.

Jackie was underneath him, her lips against his neck as she began to bite him hard.

Hyde let out a groan. Jackie had left a few hickies on him before, but this time was different. She had never bit him this hard…and it was turning him on. He nibbled her ear as he pressed his hands onto her bare lower back. They had made their way underneath her shirt again. These last several days, Jackie had not protested at all, like she had a some weeks back when he had first done it.

In fact, her hands had also made their way underneath his t-shirt. She dug her fingers into his bare skin as he caught her mouth and devoured it with his tongue.

She had given out a deep moan which made him kiss her even harder.

Then, he felt Jackie's hands start moving away from his back and travel lower. Then, lower. Once she got to his hips, her hands settled there for a little while before she moved them down. She got her hands underneath their bodies and came in contact with his fly.

Hyde didn't think much about it then. He was way too focused on her devilish mouth. But, once he started to feel his fly being undone, his other senses came alive.

For a split second, he was more than willing to let her carry on. This was finally it. God, he'd been waiting for damn long while.

She then undid his button and was about to place her hand inside when it hit him. He was about to have sex with Jackie! Jackie, who refused to have sex with any guy unless she was sure that he loved her. She was about to let the moment take her away, not thinking about the regrets she would be feeling in the morning.

Hyde couldn't have that. He didn't like the thought of Jackie regretting them doing it.

So, with all his will power, he backed away from her and grabbed her hand, stopping her.

Jackie's eyes snapped opened. She was trying to catch her breath. That kiss had almost made her black-out. She frowned. Why had he stopped?! "What's wrong?"

Hyde swallowed. "Jacks." He gave her look that she completely understood.

Her eyes went wide. She looked down to where her hands had been and then to where they were now. Hyde had pulled them away. Oh, my God! She let out a gasp and pulled her hands away from his as she covered her mouth. "I'm so sorry, Steven. I--I don't know what came over me. I--I wasn't trying to tease you or anything."

Hyde kissed her forehead. "I know. It's fine." He gave her a small smile.

Her cheeks flushed as she still stared down from embarrassment. "Thanks for stopping me."

Hyde didn't say anything. He just rolled off of her and zipped up his pants. He decided that it wasn't safe to be in this room right now anymore. "You wanna go watch some TV?"

Jackie immediately got up. "Yes." She couldn't trust herself right now either. If they continued on, she didn't know what her body would make her do.

And it wasn't that she didn't want to have sex with him. Lord, did she! She was more than ready to give her all to him. She completely loved him. Loved him more than she had ever loved Kelso. But, she was unsure of how Hyde felt. And she still wanted to stick to her rule. No sex until love was felt on both parties!

Jackie headed to the other room and sat on the couch.

Hyde was right behind her and turned on the TV. For the rest of the night, they didn't touch. They didn't even sit next to each other. Both were afraid of what the outcomes would be if they did.

Hyde kind of cursed at himself. He was beginning to lose it. A part of him wished he hadn't stopped Jackie cuz he really needed some. It had been 9 months since the last time he had sex. At first it wasn't that hard at all. But the more intense his relationship got with Jackie, the more difficult it was to hold back. He was a guy! Guys needed it more than girls! However, like he had told Jackie before, he wasn't like stupid Kelso. He wasn't about to pressure her into having sex.

Riiiiiiiiiiing!

Hyde snapped out of his thoughts. He looked up at the clock and read 12:15. Sweet! Lunch!

Hyde grabbed his book and walked out of the room, pretending that he didn't hear Mr. Levies wanting to discuss his absence.

Hyde walked around the crowds and tried to get to his locker. As he walked, he felt paper airplanes flying across his head. People screamed and yelled all around him and he just arched his brow.

He stared blankly ahead, not caring who was in his way. Many of the students avoided getting anywhere near him and would grow a little scared if they made eye contact with him. He liked the way he scared people.

Once he got to his locker he opened it up and shoved the damn book in there. He was about to close it, when he felt tiny hands wrap around his sunglasses.

He couldn't help the small smile from spreading across his face.

"Guess who." Her voice whispered into his ear.

He almost shivered at the feel of her breath against him. He gave a sexy chuckle. "Bunny."

Jackie fumed and brought down her hands. Her eyes became daggers as she stared at he back of his head.

Hyde could feel the daggers digging into the back of his skull. He knew how she looked like even before he turned to her. He cracked a smile once he saw her flushed face. She looked so cute. He loved it when she got jealous.

Jackie grew even angrier when he gave her that smirk. She was grateful that she had worn her very pointy boots today. She lifted her foot and swung it at shins, hard.

Hyde let out the loudest grunt. Fuck! He rubbed his shins.

She cocked her hip to the side and folded her arms across her chest, tapping her foot at him. Yeah, she was pissed.

After the swelling had gone down, Hyde stood back up. He was about to say something, when someone stepped in.

"Hey, Jackie." A tall, dark, and handsome senior by the name of Devon Garrett stopped right by Jackie. He gave her a smile.

Jackie turned and smiled at Devon. "Well, hi Devon!"

He cocked an eyebrow as he saw what Garrett was wearing. He had some nice jeans on with a tight shirt on that revealed his tight muscles. Hyde rolled his eyes. It was another Kelso…only this one looked as if he had some brains. He closed his locker and laid back.

"What's up?" Jackie really liked Devon. He was always helping her with her Biology tests…and by helping she meant that he let her cheat off of him.

"Did you happen to take notes yesterday for me?" He asked, hopefully.

"Oh, yeah!" Jackie reached into her bag and pulled out two sheets of paper. "Here you go. And don't worry. The test has been pushed back until next week."

"Sweet." He took the papers. "You're awesome Jackie!" He gave her a tight hug. "Thanks."

Hyde's jaw clenched at the sight of this.

"No problem. It's the least I can do." She pulled away and smiled up at him, not noticing her boyfriend starting to shake his leg. "So, how was Brown? Or was it Yale you went to go check out?"

"No, that was last weekend. Yesterday, I checked out Stanford. We just got in this morning. I wasn't gonna come to school until tomorrow, but I had to come and see my favorite cheerleader." He wrapped his arm around her.

Jackie chuckled, flattered. However, that's when she finally saw how tense her boyfriend had gotten. Hyde's hands were turned into fists right now and she could tell that if she didn't step away from Devon soon, her boyfriend would lose what little control he had left.

Jackie cleared her throat and wiggled away from Devon. "Devon, I don't think you've met my boyfriend, Steven Hyde." She clearly enunciated the 'boyfriend' so Hyde could see that she wasn't flirting with Devon on purpose just to get a rise out of him. "Steven, this is Devon. He's my Biology partner. He helps me with all the tests. Well, all except for one. Which I bombed!"

Devon extended his hand to Hyde. Hyde took it and shook it, fiercely.

Devon tried to pretend how pissed Hyde looked. He turned back to Jackie. "Yeah, I heard about that test. I heard something about you trying to copy Kat Tamber's but she wouldn't let you and snitched on you."

Jackie rolled her eyes. "Yes. Stupid slut."

Devon chuckled. "Didn't you spread rumors about her being pregnant right after that?"

"Well, she deserved it! Nobody likes a goody too-shoes."

Devon couldn't stop smiling at her. "You're cute when you get angry, Jacks."

Hyde's anger rose even more than before at that comment…and that nickname! He called her Jacks! Who the hell did this ass think he was?!

Jackie grew extremely uncomfortable right after that. She didn't know what to say or do. Hyde looked ready to pounce on the guy!

Thankfully, some jocks at the end of the hall were calling for Devon.

Devon heard them and turned to Jackie. "Well, I'll see you during 8th." He turned to Hyde. "Nice to have met you." Then gave Jackie a quick peck on the cheek and left.

Hyde pushed himself off of the lockers and walked straight to Jackie, beyond pissed. "What the hell was that?!" He lost his Zen.

Jackie gave him an reassured look. "Steven, he's just a friend."

"Oh, I didn't realize that friends flirted like that," he accused her.

Jackie breathed in and tried to grow as much patience right now. "We weren't flirting. We were just--"

"And since when do you take notes?"

"Never! But Devon has helped me all year, the least I could do for him was actually pay attention for one class period and write notes for him." She tried to make him understand.

"What was with all the touching, then?"

Jackie noticed that people were beginning to stare at them. "There was no touching. We just hugged and he pecked me on the cheek. You hug Donna and have given her a kiss on the cheek--not very often, but you have."

"That's different. Donna and I have been friends since we were kids."

"And Devon and I have been friends forever too! Our moms were best friends in high school. We grew up just down the street from each other."

"You know what? I don't care." He began to walk out of the building. "Go and have your fun with the lawyer. Bet your daddy would love that."

Jackie went after him. "Steven, this is ridiculous. Devon is just a friend." They got to the parking lot and he was reaching his Chevy.

He took out his keys and was about to open the door.

Jackie took the keys away from his hands and stood right in front of him; between him and El Camino. She looked up at him, with a soft look

He just stared down at her blankly. "Jackie, get out of the way," he said in a monotone voice. As if he could really give a crap what she needed to say.

Jackie grew a little hurt by that look and tone. She hated how he acted as if he didn't care sometimes, especially when it was serious. It was times like last night that made her feel as if he did love her, but then times like this moment made her feel as if he would never give his heart to her…in the same way she had already given it to him.

Jackie looked up at him, love showing brightly in her eyes. She took his face into her hands and repeated the words she had only said to him a couple of times, but felt every moment of every day. "Steven, I love you."

At those words, Hyde's eyes grew softer.

Jackie scooted closer to him. "Devon and every other guy doesn't come close to you. Not in a million years. If I liked another guy, believe me, I would dump you in a minute. But you know me. I would never last this long with someone if I didn't feel something." She leaned in and kissed his nose. "You're my Puddin' Pop." She gave him a smile as she said it. A smile that only existed for him.

She wrapped her arms around him and looked deep into those baby blue eyes.

Hyde let out a grunt as he lost the last piece of Zen he had in him. "Dammit." He wrapped his arms around her and gave in. "Wanna go get something to eat?"

Her smile widened. "Yes." She gave him a long, sweet kiss.

However, there was still one thing he really needed to get out of his chest. "And what was with him calling you 'Jacks'?"

"He has never called me that before," Jackie said with true honesty. "It was weird."

Hyde thought for a minute. "I don't trust that guy."

Jackie tilted her head. "Steven, he's a good guy. I've known him for a long time."

"You also knew Kelso for a long time and looked what happened with him."

Jackie sighed. "Steven, please. Can't we just go to The Hub?" Her voice had gotten a little whinier.

"I'm not kidding, Jackie. I don't want you hanging out with him." Hyde looked dead serious.

Jackie grew a little irritated by that. "Steven, stop. I choose my friends, ok? You don't like it when I try to control you so don't you try to control me."

Hyde looked at her. He wanted to argue his way into convincing her.

Jackie, however, was able to make him stop. She pulled him down to her and kissed him hard on the lips.

Once she was done with him, he was dazed and out of breath.

"So, can we go now?" She kissed his neck and wrapped her arms around his waist. She noticed the big red mark she had left him yesterday and smiled wickedly on giving him another one in a few minutes.

Hyde said nothing. His focus had gone to his neck. Damn, she was good.

Jackie traced little kisses on his face until she got to his lips one more time. "Please?" she said in that voice that drove him off a cliff.

Hyde pulled open the door as he continued to kiss her. Then pushed her in.

Once she gave him enough room to climb in behind the wheel, he got in and started the car. He needed to get out of here soon!

Jackie scooted closer to him as she began to kiss his neck, using her tongue this time as well.

Hyde's eyes almost rolled out of his head out of pure pleasure. He put the car on drive and sped out of the parking lot. They needed to find a place and quick! Her lips were already making their way to his ear! He pushed his foot on the gas even more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last bell rang later that day in school.

"Need a ride home, Jackie?" asked Devon. He gathered up his books.

Jackie packed her things as well. "No thank you. Steven's taking me home. I'm meeting him in the Student Parking lot." She began to leave. "Bye."

Devon put on his bag pack and hurried after her. "Oh, I'll walk you there then."

Jackie didn't think that was a good idea. "No, that's fine Devon. I mean, it's only around the building."

Devon smiled. "But my car's parked there too."

Jackie gave a fake smile. "Ok." Yeah, this wasn't gonna end well. She hoped that Devon would get to his car before they would get to Hyde's.

Once they got to the parking lot, she thanked God that Hyde was still not there.

Both got to Devon's car. Jackie took the opportunity. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." She turned to leave.

Devon grabbed her arm. "No, don't go. Hyde's not here yet. Just stay here and wait til he gets here. What's the hurry, right?" He smiled at her.

Jackie didn't know how to get out of it. She thought of different excuses. "No, that's alright. Steven should be here any minute."

Devon stopped her again by grabbing her arm. "C'mon, Jackie. Just stay."

Jackie wiggled away from Devon's grip. She didn't like being grabbed. "Devon, I said no." What was up with him?

Devon looked around and grabbed her arm again, pulling her to him. "Don't worry, Jackie. He's not around."

Jackie frowned and tried to get away. "Devon, stop. Let go of me."

Devon held on tighter and brought her body closer to his. "C'mon, Jackie." He began to move his face closer to hers.

Jackie pushed him away. "Devon! No! I have a boyfriend."

Devon rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Yeah. I forgot. The loser. You know he's not the real deal, Jackie. You know he's just gonna end up breaking your heart. He's friends with Kelso, for Pete's sake. What good can come out of him?"

Jackie grew angry. "You don't know the first thing about my relationship with Steven. He's not like Michael. He would never hurt me like that."

Devon rolled his eyes again. "Please, Jackie. You said the same thing about Kelso and look what happened with him. You don't make really good choices when it comes to guys. I've been trying to open your eyes for the last 12 years that I'm perfect for you. I come from a wealthy family, our parents get along great, I'm popular, I'm good looking, I'm going to law school, I'm becoming a lawyer, and I can give you what Hyde and Kelso can't--marriage. Ever since you were five you've wanted this more than anything else in the world. And here's your chance." He was being dead honest.

Jackie didn't know how to respond. It was as if she couldn't recognize her friend. "How do you know that Steven won't give me marriage? You never know."

"Jackie, he's a junky. His life is going nowhere. I bet you that in less than a year he's gonna be put in jail for murder."

"You know, that's all a bunch of bullshit! I know Steven and he would never do such a thing. You don't know shit about Steven Hyde. I'm sick and tired of people pretending that they know who he is just by the way he acts." Jackie was ready to throw hot steaming water at Devon.

Devon came close to her face. "He's a junky! A good for nothing piece of shit that will never--"

Smack! Jackie slapped him straight across the face as hard as she could. Her hand stung, but she didn't feel it. All she could feel was the anger that she was feeling at that very moment. No one talked about her Steven like that.

Devon turned to her, his face completely red and throbbing in pain. He too looked furious now. And, without Jackie seeing it coming, Devon grabbed Jackie's arms tight and pinned her to the car.

Jackie let out a yelp as pain shot threw all of her back as she hit the hood. She tried to squirm away or kick him, but he was holding on tight. "Devon, let me go!"

Before Devon could do anything else, he felt someone pull him back unexpectedly to the ground. His head hit the ground, hard.

Then, he began to feel someone punching him all around the face. With every blow, Devon let out a yelp of pain. It felt like a mountain was falling on top of him. And he was quickly losing his breath!

Hyde continued punching the shit out of the damn jock. He had heard Jackie arguing with him from around the parking lot and saw the crowd that was beginning to form around them. Then, the last thing he saw before the crowd grew bigger and completely blocked his view was Devon grabbing Jackie's arms tight. He had immediately come running at that moment.

When he had gotten to the crowd, he was able to see Devon pinned Jackie against his car. He had heard her give a yelp of pain. Angry and frustrated, Hyde pushed everyone out of his way and took Devon down as soon as he got to him.

Now, he was crouching over him, and he couldn't stop his blows. He had fucking hurt Jackie! Prick!

Jackie, stood frozen at first, not knowing what to do.

Donna then showed up next to her best friend. "Jackie? What the hell's going on?"

Jackie turned to her. "Devon grabbed me and Steven got him off me." She turned back to her boyfriend, who's blows were not stopping. Now she was beginning to worry. "Oh, my god!" She looked around in the crowd. "Someone stop them!"

Donna turned to Forman, who had picked her up from school. "Where's Kelso and Fez?!"

Forman pointed somewhere in the crowd.

Donna saw that Kelso was making a bet with the guy right next to him, a big smile spread across his face. "Hey, morons!"

Kelso and Fez turned to her voice.

"Get your asses in there!" Donna demanded.

Kelso cussed. "Man." He and Fez then went towards Hyde and tried to pull him away.

Hyde pushed whoever was trying to separate him from Devon away. He wasn't done with the prick just yet. He punched down harder than ever.

Kelso turned to Donna. "He won't let go!"

Donna rolled her eyes. She turned to Forman. "Stay here." She marched over to her friends and helped Kelso and Fez finally pull Hyde away. "Hyde! Stop!"

Hyde struggled to get away, he still had a few more blows on him.

"Hyde!" Donna lost her grip on her friend.

Jackie saw that Hyde was about to start his routine again. She immediately rushed over to him. When she got to him, she placed a palm on his chest and pleaded him with her eyes not to continue.

Hyde froze, chest heaving. Jackie's blue and green eyes held his for a long moment. He then nodded and agreed to stop. He placed a palm on her face and brought her to him. He placed his mouth right next to her ear as he hugged her. "You ok?"

Jackie nodded.

"Alright. Lets get the hell outta here." He took her hand and began to walk away. However, there was still something he had to say. He turned to the whimp that was still lying on the floor. He pointed his forefinger on him and warned him. "If I hear that you've tried to talk to her or have gotten anywhere near her, there won't be any of my friends there to pull me off of you. Got it?"

Devon's bloody face nodded.

With that, Hyde took Jackie's hand and walked away from the crowd, giving people stares every step of the way.

Jackie looked down at Hyde's hand and noticed that it too was bleeding. "Steven." She placed her other hand on it and tried to soothe it. She looked up at him, hurt that he was bleeding.

He noticed her worry. "It's fine. Just a little blood."

Jackie continued to examine them as they walked to his car. "We should put some ice on it."

Hyde opened the door to her. "Later."

She turned to him and gave him a long kiss. Then climbed on the car.

When he got in too, she snuggled close to him. He began to drive off.

Jackie let out a sigh. "You were right. Devon turned out to be a jerk too. I should have believed you."

Hyde hugged her closer. "Yeah, you should have." He couldn't help it. Jackie really needed to judge better when it came to people. She trusted them way too much.

Jackie didn't say a word the entire way to the Formans.

-----------------------------

Alright, so I hope you got where I was going with the story. Hyde is starting to notice that he has in fact fallen in love with Jackie. It scares him because two of the people that he's loved most--Bud and Edna--have left him and believes Jackie will do the same. I really believe that the reason why Hyde cheated was because he was too afraid to love and get his heart broken. That's why he warned Jackie to stay away from Kelso. And when he saw them both together on the couch it was just him "proving" that his beliefs on Jackie breaking his heart in the end were true. However, once he had cheated on Jackie and found out the truth about what happened, he saw how it wasn't Jackie that had turned out to be a Bud or an Edna. But that he himself had turned into them. Once he saw the possibility of him turning out like his parents, he made a choice to make things right and admit to Jackie he loved her…and decided to fight for her. Sorry for the long monologue! Hope you enjoyed the fic!
