Chapter Two: Make You Smile
2005-
Jackie walked up the driveway and smiled as she heard the familiar sound of her boyfriend's voice. She walked up to the back door and tapped on the door until her best friend, Donna, opened the door for her. She smiled and sat down beside the other girl and watched as the boys did their thing. Once they were through with the song Hyde turned to her and motioned for her to come over to him. She walked across the room as she smiled at him. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
"Oh god will you two get a room?" Eric said as he set his drumsticks down and glared the couple.
"We got a room man you guys are just in the way." Hyde said as Jackie laughed in his ear.
"Steven," Jackie said as she looked into his eyes, "I want to sing with you."
"You want to sing with me?" Hyde asked quietly as she nodded.
"Please?" She pleaded as Hyde turned to look at Kelso, Fez and Eric.
"Jackie wants to sing with me on that duet we've been practicing. Is that cool?"
"Yeah man that's fine." Kelso said as Fez nodded, then adjusted his bass.
"I swear that's all she wants to do when she comes here." Eric said as he picked up his drumsticks.
"That's not all she wants to do." Hyde said as Eric cringed.
"Steven!" Jackie said as she hit his chest then smiled at Donna, who just shook her head.
"Alright guys are you ready?" Hyde asked as Kelso walked over to the keyboard and began playing the beginning of the song. (A/N: Hyde is singing the bold lines and Jackie sings the italic and the bold/italic lines are when they sing together.)
The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the sun shining in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the freeway
The last time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear with your voice ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you; you're always so far away
The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the smoke getting in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the DJ
The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear with the noise ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you; you're always so far away
I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while
The next time I see you, you'll turn away
I'll say "Hello" but you'll keep on walking
The next time you see me, I'll turn away
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you; you're always so far away
I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while
I don't, don't wanna take you home
Please don't, don't make me sleep alone
If I could, I'd only want to make you smile
If you were to stay with me a while
Jackie smiled at Hyde as the song ended and Donna began clapping.
"That was great you guys. Jackie you should think about doing that."
"Doing what?" Jackie said as she turned to her best friend.
"Jackie, you should join the band, duh."
"What? No way a chick can't join our band. This is a garage band. Chicks don't just join garage bands. Tell her Hyde." Kelso said as he walked over to Hyde.
"You know actually that wouldn't be a bad idea. Jackie you should sing with us at the gig next week." Hyde said as he stared down at his petite girlfriend.
"Oh my god Steven are you serious?"
"As a heart attack doll." Hyde said as she jumped into his arms.
"Of course I'll sing with you. Oh my god I'm going to be singing in front of people…actual people. I have to go figure out what to wear. Let's go Donna." Jackie said as she quickly kissed Hyde then dragged her best friend out of the garage.
"God Hyde how could you just go and do that. We're a band we make decisions together." Kelso said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Guys Jackie's singing could really help us. I think we should just do this." Eric said from his spot behind the drums.
"Yes Jackie is very beautiful and will attract a lot of male attention." Fez said as Hyde glared at him then punched him in the shoulder.
"Kelso this is happening whether you like it or not. You got it?" Hyde said as he looked at his friend.
"Whatever Hyde." Kelso said as he looked at the ceiling.
"Well now that we've got that mess all straightened out…I have something I need to tell you guys." Eric said as he got up and stood in front of the guys.
"What's up man?" Hyde asked his younger brother.
"I'm going to ask Donna to marry me…tonight."
"Oh man that's awesome." Hyde said.
"Good for you man," Kelso said as he nodded at Eric.
"Ah marriage…countless opportunities to have sex." Fez said as the guys just stared at him before turning back to Eric.
"So what brought this on?" Hyde asked.
"I just got to thinking the other day that we could get famous and I don't want to do that without her. I want her by my side always and I want to share everything that happens with the band and with my life with her. So I just figured what better way to do that then to get married to her. I was planning on it anyway." Eric said as Hyde walked over to him.
"Well man, I'm proud of you. You've found the love of your life and instead of being a dumbass like the rest of us you're making the decision that every chick dreams of. Good for you man."
"So you're really going to do this?" Donna asked as Jackie stood in her closet trying to find the perfect outfit.
"Of course I am Donna. This is the chance of a life time and I'd have to be crazy not to take it." Jackie said as she held up an outfit for Donna's inspection.
Donna shoot her head, "No I get that. It's just…you and Hyde have been together for what like 5 years now, wont being together in a band put a damper on your relationship?"
"What? No everything will be fine Donna."
"Okay I just…I don't want something to happen to you two okay. Hyde is Eric's brother and you're my best friend and if we all get married you and I will be sisters and I don't want to lose that."
Jackie looked at Donna as a tear fell from her eyes. "Oh lumberjack…I love you too."
"I love you too midget." Donna said as the girls hugged.
"Holy hell." Eric said as he and Hyde watched the girls from the doorway.
Jackie and Donna pulled away from each other and glared at the boys.
"Damn it Forman," Hyde said as he walked over to Jackie who pulled him into her arms.
"You guys are such perverts." Donna said as she walked over to Eric.
"Are you ready to go?" Eric asked as Donna nodded.
"See ya guys." Donna said as she smiled at Jackie then followed Eric out the door.
Hyde walked over to the door and closed it then slowly walked back over to Jackie.
"What's up?" Jackie asked as she stared at her boyfriend.
"I know a secret."
"Oh tell me tell me please." Jackie said as she quickly walked over to him.
"Depends…can you keep it if I tell you?"
"Oh Steven you know me."
"That's the problem."
Jackie smacked him in the chest as he laughed. "Please Steven."
"Fine…Eric is going to ask Donna to marry him tonight."
"What are you serious?"
"Yeah…he said that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, that he cant think of doing any of this band stuff without her by his side."
"Wow…I didn't think that would ever happen."
"I always did. They've been in love since we were kids. It was just a matter of time."
"Yeah…" Jackie said as she sat down.
"Hey what's up Jacks?" Hyde asked as he sat down next to her.
"Donna said something earlier."
"What'd she say?"
"She said that being in a band together might hurt our relationship."
"Do you believe that?"
"Well no of course not…I just…I'm a little worried Steven. I mean we've been together for-"
"5 years…I've been with you for 5 years Jackie."
"Yeah and I just…where are we going from here Steven?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean…are we going to have a future? Like are we ever going to settle down?"
"Jackie…I love you…you know that…I just…I cant think about that right now. I have to concentrate on the band okay?"
"Yeah okay Steven." Jackie said as she smiled at him.
"Are we okay?"
"We're fine." Jackie said as she leaned over and kissed him.
"Good…alright I'm going to go get some stuff for the gig. I'll see you later doll." Hyde said as he leaned forward and kissed her.
"Bye Steven." She said as he walked out the door. As soon as the door closed she fell to the bed crying her eyes out and wishing that things weren't as complicated as they sometimes seemed.
"So what's this all about?" Donna asked as Eric pulled out her chair.
"It's about us." Eric said once she'd sat down and he made his way to his own chair.
"Okay what about us?"
"I just wanted you to know that I love you."
"I know you love me Eric."
"I know it's just…I wanted you to know that you're the most important person in the world to me. When my parents died…you were always there. You and Hyde took care of me. You're my family Donna, my whole entire family."
"Oh Eric," Donna said as he took her hand into his.
"That's why…god…okay I'll do this right." Eric said as he got up and got down on one knee beside her.
"Eric are you-"
"Donna, you mean the world to me. I cant picture my life without you in it. I have so many dreams and I want to share them all with you. So Donna Pinciotti, will you marry me?"
Donna nodded as tears fell from her eyes. "Oh Eric of course I'll marry you." She said as she fell into his arms and her mouth crashed against his.
The whole restaurant being applauding as Eric and Donna pulled away from each other, with bright red faces.
"So that'll be one hell of a story for the kids." Eric said as Donna laughed.
Jackie sat on the bed as she listened to Donna tell her how Eric had proposed to her the night before. Normally she would have been very happy for her best friend, but today she just couldn't do it.
"Jackie is something wrong?" Donna asked as she stared at Jackie.
"No…everythings fine Donna. I'm so happy for you."
"Yeah…okay what did he do now?"
"I asked him if we had a future and he pretty much said no."
"What do you mean?"
"He doesn't want to marry me." Jackie said as she got up and paced the room.
"Oh Jackie, he couldn't have meant that."
"But he did! Donna he meant it and I know it." Jackie said as the tears began to fall.
"Oh Jackie," Donna said as she pulled her best friend into her arms.
"Donna, I don't know if can be with him if he doesn't see a future for us."
"Maybe he'll change his mind." Donna said as she pulled away from Jackie.
"I doubt that. But thanks Donna. No I've given up on it. Steven doesn't want to marry me. I'm not going to worry about it." Jackie said as she picked up her purse.
"Okay, where are you going?"
"The gig is tonight and I still have to get some things done. I'll see you there tonight." Jackie said as she smiled at Donna then walked out the door.
Donna stared at the door as a frown appeared on her face. "Hyde you can be such an idiot sometimes."
The place what loud with the sounds of the audience's excitement as Hyde stood behind stage with the rest of the band.
"Where is she?" Kelso said as he walked up to Hyde.
"She'll be here." Hyde said as he looked out the curtain.
"She's over 20 minutes late and we go on in 10." Eric said as he tried to get Hyde's attention.
"Fine I'll call her cell." Hyde said as he walked over to the back and pulled out his phone.
After a few rings all Hyde got was her voicemail. 'Hey you've reached Jackie Burkhart's voicemail…lucky you…so leave me a message and I'll consider calling you back. It'll just depend on how you sound. So don't sound desperate okay? Opps sorry leave a message.'
"Jackie, baby it's me please call me. We go on in 10 and you aren't here yet. Where are you, baby?" Hyde said before he hung up.
"So?" Eric asked as Hyde walked back over to them.
"All I got was the voice mail."
"Hey guys sorry I'm late." Jackie said as she ran up to the group.
"Hey where have you been all day?" Hyde asked as he pulled Jackie into his arms.
"I've been around baby. Now are we going to do this or what?"
"Yeah okay. Are you alright?" Hyde asked as he pressed his forehead against hers.
"I'm fine baby. I promise." Jackie said as she kissed his lips.
"Okay guys you're on." The talent manager said to the group.
They got to their places and took final big breathes as the curtain was pulled up.
"Hey there everyone we're the high. My name is Hyde, this beautiful girl beside me is Jackie, our drummer is my brother Eric and these two are Fez and Kelso. We've got a huge show planned for tonight but first we're gonna start this off with a song called the ballad of big poppa and diamond girl." Hyde said as Jackie pulled on a keytar (it's a keyboard guitar) and begin playing the beginning of the song.
Señorita, I can't forget your eyes
Your hair, your Spanish ass
I don't care what you tell the other guys

Diamond girl,
I wanna wrap you around the world

Diamond girl,
I wanna wrap you around the world

The crowd went wild as Hyde looked over at Jackie. She was smiling at the crowd and looked like she was having the time of her life. When she finally looked over at Hyde and blew him a kiss something snapped inside of his. 'I'm going to marry that girl one day,' He thought to himself as he walked over and kissed her on the cheek before he announced the second song.
"Oh my god guys that was awesome." Donna said as she ran up to them after the show was over.
"Really? We were good?" Jackie asked as she thumbed her keytar.
"Jackie you guys were awesome." Donna said as she lightly touched her best friend's shoulder before she was pulled into her fiancé's arms.
"Hey you," Eric said as he leaned down and kissed her.
"God get a room you two." Hyde said as he laughed and pulled Jackie away from the group.
"You were awesome Steven." Jackie said as she set the guitar down.
"And you were too Jackie. You really sounded great up there."
"Thanks." Jackie said as she walked into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I love you Jackie." Hyde said quietly into her hair.
Jackie looked up at him and began running her hands through his hair. "I love you too Steven. More than you'll ever know." She said before she leaned up and captured his lips with her own.
A/N: What did you think? Do you think Hyde will actually propose? Will the band make it? Will there be a second gig? Look for an update in the near future.
