Hey! I'm Debby.the talent less tard who got stuck in this
situation only to make Mandi happy. So if I totally suck then feel free to
tell me. I'm sure my writing will pale in comparison with Mandi, her being
the totally rock on writer that she is.but hey it's all good. Ok. The items
I must attempt to write in include a leather armchair, a heated argument,
and a photo album. So without further ado grit your teeth while you read
this chapter only to get to Mandi's next one.
Disclaimer: Even tho Mandi disclaimed I'm going to also just to make sure..so I disclaim.
She looked up at the man she collided with. At first she was just going to turn around and run, but despite his rough appearance she decided he wasn't totally dangerous. He just seemed to have this essence about him.
"Um.well I'm not exactly sure but what's it to you?" Even though Jackie knew he wasn't totally horrible she wasn't about to let her guard completely down.
"Hey just cuz you're mad Kelso came back with a new honey doesn't mean you have to be all pissy with me."
At first Jackie stared at him. Thoughts ran through her mind. The first one being who Kelso was. Well he must know me. He apparently knows about my life. Maybe he's a friend. I guess it's okay to talk to him.plus he's kinda cute.
"Look, I don't know who Kelso is or even who I am, but you seem to know so if you could help me then I'd really appreciate it. Besides some creepy old janitor guy is coming after me and I'm really just confused and scared." Jackie whimpered.
Hyde looked at her strangely. "Very funny Jackie, nice joke, seriously though where were you heading? Your house is in the other direction."
"Jackie?? So maybe that janitor did know me. Look, ok, I'm not joking. I really don't know who I am. I woke up laying on a bench at some roller rink and then the janitor talked about taking me home, but I didn't know him so I ran here and collided with you and that's all I remember." Jackie said
Hyde noticed that while Jackie was saying all this she was also rubbing her arms where tiny little Goosebumps had arisen. "Ok, well I'm Hyde for starters. We're friends.kinda. Here take my coat.it's freezing outside and you look very cold." Hyde took off his jacket and gently wrapped it around Jackie's tiny shoulders.
"Thank you" Jackie thought about refusing the coat. She didn't want him to be cold either after all. However, she was really cold and it was hard enough to digest everything without having to be freezing cold to top it all off.
"Yeah, well, no problem. I suppose we should get you home. It's not too far from here. Just follow me and I'll lead you home."
Jackie wordlessly walked in stride with him for a minute or two. She really wanted to know more though and the silence had that uncomfortable air to it, as all silences seem to have. "So, who's this Kelso I'm apparently mad at?"
"He's your boyfriend.well ex now. He's basically a male ditz in the strongest sense of the word. I never did see what about him appealed to you. I mean I know you could be a typical cheerleader sometimes but I thought you had more intelligence than that."
Jackie took all of this in. She was pondering what she must have been like before and was just about to ask another question when Hyde spoke up.
"Well, here we are. Home sweet home. Yours at least."
Jackie followed the sidewalk with her eyes to what ended with a large house. The front yard was adorned with a garden full of beautiful flowers of all kinds. As she surveyed the grounds Hyde walked up to the door and rang the bell. Almost immediately a man in a common butler uniform opened the door. He looked at Hyde with obvious distaste.
Hyde grabbed Jackie's hand and walked in the door with her. He completely ignored the butler. "Sit down for a minute and I'll be right back. I'm going to try and find your parents."
Jackie sat down in a very comfortable leather armchair. She looked around at her surroundings. She noticed a photo album sitting on a coffee table a little ways from her. She grabbed it and started looking through it. The first pages were mostly of a man and woman, the man always in a tux and the woman always wearing some sort of an extravagant dress. Many pictures showed them standing with another person with glasses of what looked like wine in their hands. There were very few pictures that included Jackie in them. Even so this confirmed that they were her family. Not that she would have thought Hyde brought her to the wrong house. It was just comforting to see she belonged here.
The next thing Jackie heard was shouting. She put the album down and looked up to see the man from the pictures shoving Hyde down the hall with the woman right behind. "You need to leave this house immediately! We will not have such hooligans in our house. What if the neighbors saw you?" Mrs. Burkhart said with a look of horror on her face.
Hyde stopped in his tracks and whipped around. "If the neighbors saw me they would see that I had Jackie with me." Hyde tried to continue but was interrupted.
"She brought you in this house!" Jackie's mother walked over to Jackie. " How could you threaten our reputation by bringing such filth in this house?! They know all about his pot smoking.and just look at his attire. I am very disappointed in you young lady."
"Would you shut up for like five seconds and listen to what I have to say? Jackie doesn't remember who she is. She has amnesia. I don't know what happened but she woke up at the skating rink completely confused and I'm sure you're yelling isn't helping her at all!" Hyde shouted. He usually didn't get so worked up but to see parents treat their child like that drove him to it. Not to mention he didn't exactly relish getting put down like that.
Jackie's parents look at each other trying to decide whether to believe him or not. They looked to Jackie who just had a helpless, scared look to her face. At that moment the phone suddenly rang breaking them all from their thoughts.
Mr. Burkhart picked up the phone. "Hello?.Oh, Reggie, hi.yes Jackie's right here.she did? Well, why wasn't she taken to the hospital? .Hmm I see.ok.yes thank you.I'll see you on Saturday then? Ok, great, see you then" He hung up the phone and turned to his wife. "Apparently Mr. Hyde here is telling the truth. Jackie collided with another skater and was knocked unconscious. Reggie tried to help her but Jackie ran off."
He then turned to Jackie. "Well, you're mother and I am tired as I'm sure you are as well. We're going to go up to bed but we'll take you to the hospital tomorrow to get you all checked out. I'm sure you can show him where the door is." And with that her parents walked up the stair to go to their bedroom.
After a few moments of silence Hyde spoke." Well you're probably tired so I'm going to leave so you can get some sleep. I hope everything works out."
He turned to leave when Jackie stood up. "Hyde.wait!"
