"I can't believe I let you see me like this. I do not know why you want to leave with me after you see me looking like this."

Hyde chuckled. "Cause you're still hot."

"Thank you! You get to sleep though. I'll wake you up when I'm ready to leave.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Hyde was woken up later that night with Jackie's tongue in his mouth and her hips rolling over his erection. Hyde responded to the kiss, not even bothering to open his eyes. He brought his hands up to her hips trying to still them.

It was then that he realized she was naked. To check, Hyde slid his hands to her ass. Sure enough all he felt was skin. Jackie must have known what he had been doing because she reached back and grabbed his wrists. She brought them up to her breasts. He groaned into her mouth as he kneaded the flesh.

"If we're leaving you have to promise to wake me up like this every day," Hyde insisted before moving his mouth to her neck.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Half an hour later they were dressed and more or less ready to leave. Jackie surveyed her room one more time, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything.

Hyde spotted the white stuffed unicorn on the floor next to her bed. He hated that he had to remind her about Kelso's stupid gift from a few years back but he didn't want her to be upset because she forgot it. He'd feel too freaking guilty if he just let her forget it.

"What about Fluffycakes?" Hyde asked when she turned to leave.

"I don't want him. I used to need him but I won't need him anymore," Jackie replied with a shrug. "Where are your sunglasses?"

Hyde reached up to his face and for the first time realized he didn't have his rose tinted shades to cover his eyes.

"Uh… I don't know," he replied, confused.

He tried to think of the last place he had had them. He had them when Jackie showed up in the basement and he had been wearing them during their fight. He had them when he was packing.

"Shit," he groaned. He had left them on his bedside table.

"What?"

"I left them at the Formans'."

"Oh. Well we can get them if you want."

"No. I don't need them."

If Jackie could go without her security blanket then Hyde could go without his he decided.

"Are you sure? You love your shades."

"Yeah, I'm sure. Thanks though."

"Whatever."

Hyde leaned down and kissed her quickly before he pulled back.

"Where's your stuff?"

"I put it in the hall. I didn't want to forget anything so I moved it where we'd see it."

Hyde nodded and followed her out into the hall. He observed the half a dozen suitcases and shook his head.

"You know I don't have room for all that crap in the cab right?"

"What do you mean?" Jackie asked, looking up at him.

"Some of that has to go in the bed of the truck."

"No!" Jackie argued. "There are bugs and rain and other stuff back there that I don't want getting into my luggage."

"Jackie, I'm telling you there's no way all of that is fitting up front, even with my bag in the back."

"I cannot put one of my bags in the back of the Camino. I just can't."

"I'm sorry but you're going to have to put more than one back there."

"Steven," Jackie whined.

"Doll, if it was something I had any control over I would let you put it all up front. It physically will not fit."

Jackie huffed, grabbed two of her bags and stormed down the stairs, a determined look on her face. Hyde groaned in anticipation of her solution.

He grabbed the remaining luggage and followed her down. The front door was open so Hyde walked out after her. Jackie stood in front of the passenger's side door, examining the inside of the car. Hyde set the remaining bags next to the two she had brought down. Jackie examined them carefully. She pulled forward the Camino's passenger seat and Hyde had to admit he was impressed she knew it could do that. She set the biggest suitcase of hers at the bottom of the well behind the seat where it fit almost perfectly. She then set two smaller ones on top of it. She shot him a triumphant smile.

"Then this suitcase can go behind your seat and your bag can go on top of it. Then these two can go at my feet. Problem solved!"

Hyde shook his head but took the large suitcase that she wanted behind his seat over. The back was still folded down so he set it on the floor behind him. He then reached back and grabbed his duffle. He tossed that on top of it. It fit perfectly. Well actually there was still room in between the two piles of luggage. He looked at Jackie through the car.

"Give me those two over there," he instructed.

She slid them over to him and Hyde stuffed them behind the seat as well.

"See, I could even bring more than that if I wanted," she smiled over at him.

"No. That's enough."

"Well excuse me Steven but if you want me to look this good all the time then I needed supplies."

"No you didn't. You're always hot," he said as he lifted the seat back.

Jackie got into the car. When Hyde slid in beside her she kissed him.

"That was a very sweet thing for you to say."

"Yeah, well don't get used to it," he warned.

"I won't."

"Good. And you're sure you don't need anything else?"

"I just need to grab something really quick. I'll be right back."

Hyde nodded as she jogged into her house. He was sure that she'd reappear with the unicorn. He waited until she came running back out with a backpack.

"You change your mind about the unicorn?"

"No. I just need to grab my papers and some things like that."

"Cool," Hyde nodded.

"You brought yours too, right? Just in case?"

"Yeah I have all that stuff," Hyde nodded.

"Okay then. I guess we should go," Jackie sighed.

"You're sure about this, right doll?"

"A hundred percent," she nodded.

Hyde glanced down his watch. It was two thirty six as he backed out of the driveway.

"We can wait until the morning if you want," Jackie offered before he could actually leave the driveway.

"No. I want to get as far away as possible by the time everyone wakes up tomorrow."

Jackie nodded in understanding as he drove down her street towards the town limits.

"Which way do you want me to go?"

"Well I don't want to go to Canada so north is out," she began. "And I mean we can't head due east at all really so that's out too. I've always kind of wanted to live on the coast or at least near it so I can go to the beach from time to time."

"What about the east coast? You're near a beach but you're also near a city."

"Perfect," Jackie said smiling at him.

The first few minutes in the car was silent. Jackie looked like she was fighting sleep as she stared straight out the window.

"You look exhausted," Hyde told her.

"You're a real charmer there Hyde," she teased.

Even if it was a joke, he had to admit it was weird and kind of unsettling to hear her call him Hyde instead of Steven.

"All I was saying Burkhart was that you should get some sleep. I don't care if you sleep while I drive."

"I have a hard time sleeping sitting up," she explained with a shrug.

"So then lay down. There's enough room."

Jackie leaned over and kissed his cheek. "You really are sweet you know."

"Yeah, well whatever," he grunted.

Without another word Jackie laid her head in his lap and sprawled out across the rest of the seat. Hyde reached over her to turn the radio on. He knew she had a hard time sleeping without it. When he found a station with some decent music his hand dropped down to her hair. He ran his hand down her hair as she shut her eyes. His hand moved to her side. He slowly rubbed her side and back as she drifted off to sleep.
