Hope you all like it(:
I walked down the steps slowly trying to build up my nerve. I love Steven but I need to know if he feels the same, but it seems I can't ever stay mad at him for long. I yell for a minute he says something and I forget all about it. This is important I have to do this. I opened the door and everyone was sitting around watching the million dollar man.
I took a deep breath and went to get a drink, I needed a few more seconds, and yes I was putting it off. But right as I was walking past Steven grasped my waist and sat me on his lap. I smiled as he gave me a squeeze. Maybe I didn't have to do it now? It was that one timeā¦
After about a half hour of watching TV I remembered that my parents wanted to have dinner with me tonight before they went off to somewhere in the south, they refused to tell me where exactly. I could not go by myself, my father has changed since prison, he became mean so I did not want to be alone with him and my mother. I needed Steven.
"Hey Steven can you go to a dinner at my house tonight?" I looked up at him and wanted to take off his aviators so I could see his eyes, what he was really thinking but I knew that would make him mad.
"No"
"Please Steven I need you there."
He looked down at me "I said no Jackie."
I was about to get really bitchy. "Steven you will go to the dinner tonight." I didn't mean to sound like a brat but that was to cover the need to cry.
"God Jackie you're so annoying your always telling me what to do, just go away."
Steven's Pov
I internally cringed I didn't mean for it to come out so harsh. But sometimes she can act like a spoiled brat. Much to my surprise I watched as her eyes welled up with tears. I felt my own eyes widen behind my aviators, Jackie never cries she stomps, whines, and then kicks my shin. I was about to say something when of course Kelso has to but in.
"Yeah Jackie you were always trying to tell me what to do, what to wear, where to go, Why do you think me and Hyde cheated on you?" Then he burst out laughing.
I heard Jackie let out a small sob and then watched as she ran out of the room. Kelso was laughing while Donna and Eric were staring opened mouthed looking like fish.
What the hell did I do?
Jackie's Pov
I hate when Steven is like, he doesn't seem to understand that I need him sometimes to be there for me. What Kelso said was just another blow to my low self-esteem, but I couldn't really blame him he was stupid and didn't really mean to hurt me.
I washed off my face and mechanically put on my makeup I would have to keep up appearances in front of my parents
I walked into the house, so silent and cold. No maid to great me, no warm smiles and hugs as I walk through the door like at, the Foreman's, just silence. It was always like this here, that's why I have always considered the Foreman's house home, but slowly I'm losing the warm feeling I would have leaving there and I'm leaving there just as cold as I am when I leave this house.
I walked into the dining room to my parents already eating; my mother with a large margarita and my father had a glare painted on his face.
"You're late." His voice was so cold, not at all like I remember.
"I know I'm sorry." He gave me a glare. "You better be."
My mother who already sounded drunk started asking me questions.
"Jackie do you have a boyfriend, yet? I know you're not the most attractive thing in town, but not having a boyfriend just looks bad for our reputation."
I just looked at my plate, biting the inside of my cheek. This is why I needed Steven here; they would not be like this with him there. Mother kept rambling on asking questions that I decided to ignore. I kept my head down as my mother rambled on, then I felt a sharp blow to my face that sent me flying out of my chair.
I look up to see my father, glaring down at me.
"You little bitch you haven't listened to a single word that either I or you mother has said tonight have you? We have given you everything, get out of my sight!"
As quick as I could I ran from the room, tears running down my face and my cheek throbbing. Luckily my stuff was already in my new apartment so I wouldn't need to come back here, I look back at the mansion one last time, and leave I hate that place.
