escription: My version of how Jackie and Hyde got together after their Veteran's Day kiss. There is a twist though and I added a few characters Ezra, Caleb and Emily. While they are named after characters from Pretty little liars, this is not a cross over.

Chapter#4
(Hyde's pov)
Whatever i have to do or say to get Jackie back...at this point i will do anything necessary.
" Hyde you can come in but just so you know, Jackie's not here.", informs Donna much to my displeasure. What the hell does she mean that Jackie isn't here? When she took off last night this is precisely where Jackie told me that she would be. Either Donna is lying or Jackie went and spent the night elsewhere. Where else could she have possbily gone though? Jackie's mom took off on her again and instead of staying at Donna's she has been sneaking into the basement and spending most nigts with me. This obviously was not the case last night though seeing as how Jackie ended things between the two of u
" Donna, would you please let me in? I need to speak with Jackie.", i question first thing the next morning after making my way over to Donna's. Last night i wasn't able to sleep a wink. I know the exact reason why too, Jackie wasn't by my side. Lately i have all but grown accustomed to having that girl in my arms or by my side. Last night i slept in an empty bed and it damn near killed me. There has to be something that i can do to fix things between Jackie and i. She makes me happy and i'm not ready to give that up without an argument. While i may not completely understand Jackie's reasoning for severing tied with me last night, i feel like there is something i could have dane to prevent this. s after he had an argument. Where the hell could she possibly be right now? I swear, if i have to I'll go out looking for her. it's not like Jackie to jsut take off and not tell anyone where she's going.
"...Dammit. Now i have to go out and look for her.", i complain in agrevation before turning to stalk off. Where the hell could she have possibly gone? If something happened to Jackie that i could have prevented i swear that i will never forgive myself. Whether we fought or not i should have made Jackie stay with me last night. Now she is off God know where doing who knows what. The minute that Jackie took off i should have gone right out after her. It was laste and i was under the impression that she was going to stay the night at Donna's. This is what Jackie told me before she left. Now here Donna is telling me that Jackie never showed up? Where the hell could she be right now? Why, why could i have not just told Jackie what she wanted...no needed to hear? What harm would it have caused? Sure i might not know what the future has in store for us. This doesn't mean that i couldn't have told Jackie what she wanted to hear just to shut her up.
" Whoa, wait a minute. What do you mean Hyde? Are you telling me that Jackie's not with you?", exclaims Donna with a look ofboth confusion and concern taking over her features. If Jackie were with me why the hell would i be knocking on your bedroom door looking for her? She took off last night after making it clear that she couldn't be with me anymore. I can't help feeling as though maybe i played a major part in pushing Jackie away. If i had only been able to tell her what she so desperately needed to hear...maybe things would be different right about now. Maybe instead of looking for Jackie the two of us might be on our way to the Hub for a burger and fries. Obviously that isn't the case though and i'm stuck searching for her.
" No, Jackie's not with me. We had an argument last night and Jackie broke up with me. After which she took off but not before telling me she would be staying at your house which she clearly is not.", i fill in with a frown making its way across my face. Letting Jackie leave the way she did last night was the worst mistake that i ever could have made. I should have stopped her, i should have gone after her or made her stay. Hell, i should have picked an argument with Jackie. Why the hell didn't i do any of these things? What the hell was i thinking just letting Jackie leave the she way had? Now i have absolutely no clue as to where she is let alone if she is alright or not.
Raising an eyebrow in my direction, Donna folds her arms across her chest," What did you do Hyde?"
Not liking the sound of Donna's tone, i tense slightly before letting out a frustrate breath," i didn't do anything Donna, not that it is any of your business."
" Clearly you did something Hyde, Jackie is in love with you. She wouldn't break up with you over an argument unless you did something to hurt her.", points out Donna much to my disliking. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Why is Donna looking at me as though i am the enemy? I haven't done anything wrong. Joey only ended things between the two of us because she was frustrated that i could not tell her what she wanted tp hear the most. Worst part of it is...I do see a future with Jackie. i'm jusst not certain that i will ever be able to give her all that she deserves. All i want is for Jackie to be happy...but what if i stop making her that way one day? Then what would i tell myself?
" Look, Jackie broke up with me because i refused to discuss our future. After that she took off, i was under the impression she came here since this is where she told me that she was going.", i confide before running an exhausted hand through my hair. Donna must have noticed as she is now shaking her head with a loud sigh. i'm an idiot, this much i know. Why i found myself unable to answer Jackie's simple questions is beyond me. Had i done so maybe we would be together right now. The last thing i ever wanted was to break Jackie's heart. Something tells ,e that is precisely what i did last night. She wanted nothing to do with once i stupidly shut her out. Last night was apparently the last straw for Jackie, it had to have been if she broke up with me without so much as a second thought. The look on Jackie's face when she did? It damn near killed me, i knew for a fact she all but forced the word out of her mouth. The last thing Jackie wanted to do was let me go, only i was stupid enough to give her a reason to.
" you are such an idiot Hyde. What the hell is your problem? You couldn't just consider yourself lucky and tell her what she wanted to hear? Jackie is more then a little insecure when it comes to you, how could you not have noticed this? All she ever wanted from you was some sort of reassurance that you saw yourself with her a fe wyears down the line. You couldn't give her that much though could you? it's your fault Jackie is nowhere to be found Hyde.", accuses Donna with absolutely no remorse what so ever. While i know that she is one hundred percent right, this is not what i need to hear from Donna right now. Instead of scolding me, one woulod think Donna would want nothing more then to help me find Jackie and make sure she's alright. This obviously is not the case as of currently. Everything Donna is telling me is the truth. But right now it is not what i need to hear. All that matters is finding Jackie. i'm more then a little worried she hasn't shown her face by now. Where the hell could she possibly be?
(Meanwhile; Caleb's pov)
" Jackie could you please for the love of God hurry up and get dressed? I am damn near starving over here. What is taking you so long? I gave you a shirt and pair of shorts of my sister Emily's to borrow.", i call with an exaperated breath before shaking my head. What is this girl doing? It does not take this long to get dressed. Breathing a sigh of relief when Jackie finally walks out from the bathroom, my heart leaps into my throat as i catch a glimpse of her. She's beautiful, i can't help thinking to myself. What the hell is the matter with me? Jackie is only one of my oldest friends, how the hell could i allow myself to have such thoughts about her? If she knew that i were considering kissing her right about now, i'm fairly certain that Jackie would not hesitate in kicking the crap out of me.
" ...Could you please pick your chin up off the ground Caleb?", snapped Jackie in agitation at the sight of me all but staring at her. Averting my gaze, i do my best to hide the rapid flushing of my cheeks. This is definitely embarassing, how could i have ever let Jackie see me all but checking her out. I mean it is really hard not to. The girl is freaking beautiful. It would be a challenge for just about any guy with eyes not to notice how much of an absolute fox this girl is. Jackie just broke up with Hyde, she is off limits to me. For christ sake she is in love with him. Oh how i wish that it weren't so. What i wouldn't give for Jackie to be mine. This will more then likely never be the case though. Jackie hasn't even the faintest clue that i'm in love with her and that is exactly how things will stay. i'm not an imbecile, i know that i stand no chance in hell with Jackie. Why open myself up to a world of certain heartbreak?
"...Sorry Jacks, you're just well...you know.", i confide in a gruff tone amking sure to avoid eye contact. That is the closet i have come to ever paying Jackie a compliment when it came to her looks. Does she have the slightest inkling of just exactly how beautiful she actually is? Whatever Hyde did to break her heart? The guy is a complete moron. Jackie is only completely in lvoe with the guy for God knows what reason. Personally, i'm not all too sure ehat she actually sees in the guy. Hyde is just an angry, scruffy orphan from the wrong side of the tracks. Never really had Jackied as the type of girl that would fall for a bad guy and yet she has. Not sure what it is she sees in him, but it must be something special if she wants a future with the guy.
"...thanks Caleb, whats for breakfast?", inquires Jackie in a cheerful voice while looping her arm with mine. Smiling proudly when she hugs my side, i place an arm around her waist. This girl is going to drive me nuts. If she only knew how bad i want to just hold her in my arms. Jackie could have just about any guy she wants. For whatever reason, she chose Hyde. This is something that i will never understand. What is so great about the guy? Ask me he sort of seems like a jerk. He couldn't even answer a smiple question from Jackie. She only sought a little reassurance from Hyde but he could not give her that now could he? Jackie had every right to end things with him. If only she were wise enough not to take him back. ...
