An hour and a half later, Jackie, Hyde, Eric and Donna finally pulled up to the Marriage Counseling place. It was a small little cottage in the middle of no where. Jackie got out of the car with Donna and Donna smiled.
"Oh it's so cute! This is going to be fun."
"Donna…we're in the middle of nowhere! This looks like a place from a horror movie! It looks all cute and nice from the outside…and then the next thing you know…a creepy axe murder shows up and kills us all." She said seriously.
"Oh Jackie…you're so dramatic." Eric said rolling her eyes.
"No…I agree with Jackie on this one." Hyde said nodding his head. "This place does look weird…" He said looking around at it.
"Oh you two don' like it because its pretty and charming…you're both bred from some devilish power." Donna said rolling her eyes.
"This is true…" Hyde said nodding his head.
"Yeah ok whatever…but who's gonna kill us out here? I mean the only other person here is Pastor Dave." Eric said.
"Yeah. And if you really think about it…he would make the perfect serial killer!" Jackie yelled.
"What?" Eric said rolling his eyes. "You are insane woman!" He said shaking his head.
"Hey…watch what you say about her!" Hyde said.
Jackie glanced at Hyde quickly and his face flushed with embarrassment. "Steven I can fight my own battles." She said softly kind of liking him sticking up for her but not wanting to let him back in.
"Sorry…" He said softly and then turned back to Eric. "But I mean…Jackie is kind of right. I mean think about it Foreman…he is all like pastory like…ya know he lures people in by pretending to be a man of God. And then BOOM! He kills you!" He yelled.
"Yep. That's exactly what I was talking about!" Jackie yelled nodding her head in agreement.
Donna just shook her head sadly. "Can we just please go in?"
"Fine. But I swear to God if I see an axes, saws or knives…I'm outta there!" Jackie yelled grabbing her bags and pushing past them all and going to front door.
"Hyde man…can you just give this a little effort please? Just…for Donna and my sake?" He asked.
"Fine. But Donna…don't expect her to be nice to us." He said pointing a finger at her.
"I don't understand why she is so pissed at me? I mean you're the one that married Sam. Not me." She said rolling her eyes.
"And yet…you became buddy buddy with her. I know what I did Donna…and I'm paying for it by not being able to be with her. But now you have to find a way to get her to forgive you. And trust me…I've been in this position a lot in my life…granite it's never been this bad…but lets just put it this way…Jackie isn't so good in the forgiveness department. And in this case…we don't really deserve her forgiveness."
"Wow…you do have a heart." Eric said softly.
"Yeah Foreman I do…" Hyde said rolling her eyes.
"I guess you're right." She said sighing. "Let's just go before Jackie kills Pastor Dave."
"I'm telling you it would be the other way around." Hyde said honestly.
"You and your conspiracy theories." She said rolling her eyes.
"Hey! One of these days I'm going to be right and you are going to feel stupid." He said defensively.
"Whatever…let's just go." Eric said grabbing the bags and heading to the door.
When they got there, Jackie was just standing in the doorway; mouth hung open staring at the room around her. There were dozens of pictures of pictures of Jesus, Mary and countless other saints. There were crosses, rosaries, and pamphlets on happy marriages, abstinence until marriage and finding your path to God.
"Oh my God…" Eric said.
"We are so dead…" Jackie said.
"No…were going to hell." Donna said softly.
"This sucks." Hyde said grimacing at the room. "It's like God threw up in here."
"Where's Pastor Dave?" Eric asked.
"I'm right here!" He said from the top of the stair case smiling down at the three of them.
"Creepier and creepier every time I see him…" Jackie whispered to Hyde.
"I know…it's like he never stops smiling. I mean really…who can be happy all the time?" Hyde said shaking his head at him.
"Would you two shut up? Were like in the presence of God." Donna said.
"Oh no were not Donna…Pastor Dave is no where near God. If anything…he's like his grungy, perky little helper." Hyde said.
"Guys just shut up!" Eric hissed.
"Welcome all!" Pastor Dave said walking to them. "It's so good to see you all. Especially you Jackie and Hyde. You two never come to church…so this is a special occasion getting to see you." He said accusingly.
"Yeah well…me and God don't agree on much." Hyde said.
"Oh really? Like what?" Pastor Dave asked.
"Like he says sex is bad and you shouldn't do it until you're married. And I say…sex is great and you should do it whenever you have the chance." He said smirking at him until he felt a punch to his gut. "Damn Jackie…" He said rubbing his stomach.
"Don't piss him off Steven…if you do he might just kill us in our sleep." She hissed.
"Well…" Pastor Dave said glaring at Hyde. "Maybe this weekend will change your mind about our Lord." He said smiling towards the ceiling.
"Why is he looking at the ceiling?" Hyde asked.
Jackie pointed up. "There's a picture of him up there too."
"God this is going to be a long weekend…" Hyde shook his head.
"Well…why don't we get you all settled in. Follow me and I will take you to your rooms." He said walking up the stairs.
"Alright you two…please…please play nice this weekend." Eric pleaded with them.
"Whatever you say Foreman." Hyde said walking past them.
"Fine. But if he starts making church jokes…I'm not laughing." She said following Hyde up the stairs.
"Are we going to make it through the weekend?" Donna said resting her head on Eric's shoulder.
"I don't know…God only knows." Eric said smiling.
Donna rolled her eyes. "Come on."
At the top of the stairs Pastor Dave stopped between two doors. "Ok…now this one will be the girl's room. And the other one will be the boys. Now remember…God frowns upon consummating a relationship before marriage." He said shaking his finger.
"Then God must have a pretty big frown on his face when it comes to these two…" She rolled her eyes. "I mean I don't know why…but Donna agrees to do it with him 24/7." She said shrugging her shoulders. Donna smacked her over the head. "Ow! Donna God frowns on hitting too!" She said rubbing her head.
"Ok…settle down." Pastor Dave said quietly. "Yes Jackie is right…no hitting and no sex. So everyone needs to play nice."
"Oh don't worry Pastor Dave…Eric only plays nice. He doesn't know how to be naughty…that's my department." He said smirking.
"Moron…" Jackie mumbled.
"Hey…you weren't complaining when we dated." He pointed out.
Jackie glared at him, Eric shook his head and Donna sighed. Pastor Dave was just standing there with a scared expression on his face. "Well…um…why don't you all take your rooms…and then…and then you can come down for some of the cookies I made. Now my room is right down the hall…and to the left is the sanctuary if you feel the need to pray." He said before running off to his room.
"God will you two please quit it! Seriously…" Eric warned them.
"Ok…sorry." Jackie said. "I promise it won't happen again…" She lied.
"Jackie!" He yelled knowing she was lying.
"What! I can't lie…" She said rolling her eyes.
"Ok…lets just go to our rooms…Pastor Dave isn't looking so we can sneak into our room together Eric." She said pointing to the room that was supposed to be the girls.
"Guys are you sure about this…" Jackie said feeling nervous about sharing a room with Hyde.
"Come on Jackie…please." Donna begged.
"You know I still hate you…but I don't feel like sharing a room with you either. And I'm not sharing a room with Eric cuz he's just weird…so fine I'll have to settle for Hyde." She said pushing the door open…
Hyde shook his head. "Well at least I win over you two. I mean that's a good sign right?" He asked.
"Yeah sure Hyde…believe whatever makes you happy." Eric said patting his friends shoulder and giving him a sympathetic look.
Hyde sighed and pushed open the door and saw Jackie sitting on her bed rummaging through her bag. She glanced up when Hyde entered the room and then looked back down at her bag. He walked past her and placed his stuff on his own bed and looked around the small room and then looked back at Jackie. She looked up at him and then smiled slightly before getting up to put some of her cloths on the dresser. He opened his mouth to speak but then closed it again. She saw his reflection in the mirror and saw that he was struggling with himself trying to think of something to say. She turned around to try and make it better for him but it resulted in them talking at the same time.
"Steven."
"Jackie."
They laughed nervously and Hyde said. "You go first."
"No…you can go." She said wanting to hear what he had to say.
He looked up at her and fidgeted with her hands and then opened his mouth before he could think about what he was saying. "I have to pee." He said.
Jackie frowned at him and then cocked an eye brow at him. "Ok?"
"Yeah…so I'm gonna…" He said pointing to the bathroom door.
"Go to the bathroom?" She asked.
He nodded fast. "Yep." He got up and pushed past Jackie, slammed the bathroom door shut and then banged his head against the door. "I'm such a moron."
She shook her head and sighed sadly. "He is such a moron."
Inside the bathroom Hyde was pacing back and forth. He kept glancing at himself in the mirror and then finally stopped and looked at his reflection and sighed. "What did she see in you man? She's so beautiful…and smart and so god…so amazing. And you…you are just a moron. A stupid, commitment phob, Zen moron." He sighed and shook his head. "How am I going to get through this weekend?"
Jackie heard him muttering to himself in the bathroom and walked to the door hesitantly putting her ear up to the door and listening carefully. She knocked gently and whispered to him. "Steven? Are you ok in there?"
Her words shook him out of his daze. "Yeah. I'll be out in a minute."
Jackie sighed and stepped back from the door and sat down on the bed looking through her things. Hyde splashed some cold water on his face and stared back at himself and whispered so Jackie wouldn't hear him.
"Ok man…pull yourself together! Just because Jackie is going to be so close to you…that you will really not be able to keep your hands off of her…keep a distance. She doesn't want you anymore…because you're such a moron." He shook his head. "What am I doing? Why am I talking to myself?" He asked. "Ok…enough of this. Face your problems man. You can do this." He nodded and opened the door and smiled weakly at Jackie, she smiled back.
"Feel better?" She asked.
He cleared his throat. "Yep." She nodded and went back to going through her things. Hyde nervously sat down on his bed and then looked at Jackie. "So uh…you think we'll make it through the weekend?"
She glanced at him. "Do we really have a choice?"
He shrugged. "We could always steal the car keys and leave them up here." He pointed out.
She laughed. "Yeah…but then we would definitely go to hell for abandoning them in the house of God."
He laughed. "I'm pretty sure Pastor Dave thinks were already going there."
She smiled. "Yeah…I suppose so."
"Look Jackie I-" He was interrupted by Donna knocking on their door.
"You guys want to head downstairs?" She asked.
Jackie looked at Hyde wishing he had finished what he wanted to say but he just nodded at Donna and said. "Yeah sure. We're coming." He said.
Jackie frowned and said. "Yeah…we'll be right down."
Donna smiled. "Cool."
Hyde looked at Jackie and saw the frown on her face. "You ready?"
She looked over at Hyde with a sad face. "Um yeah…let's go."
"Cool." He said standing up and walking to the door.
"Hey Steven?" She called out to him.
He turned and looked at her. "Yeah?"
"What were you going to say?" She asked hopefully.
His heart sped up for a moment and then he took a deep breathe. "Oh…well you know…I was just gonna say we should probably just suck it up this weekend and try to be nice…or whatever." He said shrugging his shoulders.
Her shoulders slumped in defeat. "Yeah…I guess you're right."
"Yeah…so let's go." He said pointing to the door.
"Right behind you." Jackie sad following Hyde out the door.
Downstairs Pastor Dave was dancing around the room to Earth Wind and Fire singing at the top of his lungs. He was setting the table with plates of cookies and milk for all of them. Donna and Eric were in the corner sitting on the couch looking through a wedding book. Jackie saw how happy they looked and her heart started to feel the same pain she felt when Sam showed up. The knowing feeling that she would never feel like they did…totally and completely happy and in love. Hyde noticed the sad distant look on Jackie's face and he sighed before putting his hand on the small of her back causing a shock to run through both of their bodies. They glanced at each other quickly shocked by the feeling and Hyde pulled his hand back. Jackie's eyes were wide wishing she could kiss him like she wanted to but she knew otherwise. She walked away from him and sat down at the table. Hyde sighed and followed her and he was joined by Eric and Donna.
"Good. You're all here." Pastor Dave said grabbing the cookies and put them on the table.
Donna smiled and sat down next to Eric. "Thanks Pastor Dave. This place is great." She said lying through her teeth.
He smiled. "Isn't it? I mean it's the perfect place for marriage counseling. It's quiet and peaceful…you can really get to know each other better. Spiritually and mentally."
"Everything except Physically…" Hyde whispered.
Everyone stopped and stared at Hyde and he smiled and mouthed 'Sorry'. Pastor Dave smiled at him and continued. "Now after we have our milk and cookies we will start our journey towards your happy and blissful marriage." He said.
"And what exactly does that mean?" Eric asked.
"Well were going to share our feelings." Hyde and Jackie groaned but Pastor Dave ignored it and continued. "That way we can really learn to open up to each other."
"Yeah…ok…but see my only question is why is it necessary for the Best Man and Maid of Honor to be here?" Jackie asked.
"Well that's a good question." Pastor Dave said sitting down in his seat and bit into his cookie. "You two are here because it's important for you two to be comfortable with one another just as much as Eric and Donna. I mean you two are going to be working together, side by side on this wedding. If you two can't communicate than the wedding won't run as smoothly as it should." He said honestly.
Jackie and Hyde glanced at each other nervously and Eric and Donna looked at their two friends realizing this was going to be harder than it looked. Pastor Dave continued.
"But that shouldn't be a problem. I mean you two are together aren't you?" He asked remembering seeing them together last time he was around them.
Jackie cleared her throat and shook her head. "Oh no…um…not anymore." She said smiling sadly.
Pastor Dave looked at Hyde and saw his loving glance towards Jackie. "Oh…well that's too bad. I'm sorry." He said softly.
Eric looked at his sad friends and decided to change the subjects. "Pastor Dave…these are some seriously great cookies. I mean there so good God must have made them!" He said.
Everyone just looked at him like he had three heads and he giggled nervously looking away from all of them. This was going to be a long weekend.
An hour later, they were assembled in a circle on the rug in the family room. Pastor Dave had a pad of paper in his hands and a pen. Jackie and Hyde were sitting next to each other and Eric and Donna were across the circle from them. There was gospel music playing in the background and as Pastor Dave wrote on his pad of paper he was humming along to the words."So…" He said. "Let's get this started." He looked at Eric and Donna. "Now…I'm going to ask you a few questions and if you could just respond honestly that would be great." He said smiling at them. "Ok so. Eric. What first attracted you to Donna?" He asked.
Eric looked at Donna who was just smiling at him. "Well…you said honestly…so I'm gonna have to go with the fact that she had boobs at the age of like five. I mean seriously…there huge." He said laughing.
Donna smacked him Hyde laughed and Jackie groaned, Pastor Dave just looked uncomfortable and laughed nervously.
"Well…ok…" He wrote something down and then looked back up. "What about you Donna? What attracted you to Eric?"
She glared at him and then turned back to Pastor Dave. "Well…I guess his honesty. And his caring nature. And all his little quirks…he made me laugh." She said smiling at Eric.
He smiled back. "Man…that was a good answer. I'm sorry I'm so stupid."
"Oh its ok honey." She said patting his knee.
"Oh I'm going to be sick…" Hyde groaned to Jackie.
"This is so unrealistic. No one is this happy…no one." She said shaking her head.
"Tell me about it…" He said.
"Well that was a very good answer Donna. It was very honest. It was groovy. Now…Hyde…when did you and Eric become friends?"
Hyde looked over at him and took a deep breathe. "Well…he was getting picked on at school and I walked him home so ya know…they wouldn't beat the crap out of him. And then I don' know…we just became friends after that."
"Well that was nice of you." He said writing it down.
"And Jackie…when did you become friends with Eric?"
She glanced at Hyde. "I uh…I was dating our friend Michael Kelso…and he always hung out in Eric's basement…so we kind of just became friends…I guess." She said softly.
"Ok. And did you both meet Donna through Eric?" He asked.
"Yes." They both said at the same time.
Pastor Dave looked at them both, studying their faces and body language and sighed. "I hope I'm not stepping over my boundaries but just out of curiosity…why did you two break up?" He asked. "You just seem so right for each other…"
Jackie and Hyde's hearts sped up and Eric and Donna exchanged nervous glances. Jackie looked at Hyde and he just stared at her unsure of what to say. So she turned back to Pastor Dave and said simply. "He married someone else."
Pastor Dave glanced at Hyde who was staring at Jackie with a regretful look on his face. Eric and Donna exchanged sad looks feeling sorry for their best friends. Jackie took a deep breathe and smiled weakly at him.
"Oh…well so then you know what its like to be married." He said to Hyde unsure of if this was a good idea or not.
Hyde cleared his throat. "Actually…we are in the middle of a divorce."
Pastor Dave frowned slightly. "Oh…I'm sorry. That must be very hard for you…" He said honestly.
Hyde shrugged. "Don't be. I'm quite happy about it actually." He said.
Jackie glanced shocked at Hyde and Pastor Dave frowned. "Oh and why's that?"
Hyde took a deep breathe and looked straight at Jackie. "Well…she wasn't the right girl ya know? I didn't love her…it was a mistake." He explained.
Jackie looked away from Hyde afraid she was going to start crying. "Oh…well still it must be hard for you. I hope that you do find the right girl eventually."
Hyde looked at Jackie. "I already did."
Jackie's heart felt like it was going to explode and she excused herself for a moment. "I'm sorry…where is the bathroom?" She asked.
Hyde looked at Jackie and then at Eric and Donna who just shrugged at him. Pastor Dave pointed down the hall. "Down the hall and to your left." He said.
"Thank you. I'll be right back." She said rushing off.
Hyde sighed and went to get up but Donna stopped him. "I'll talk to her."
"Donna are you sure that's such a good idea?" Eric asked.
"Eric…she's my best friend. I need to fix this now…and I'll start by fixing her." She said getting up and rushing after Jackie.
Hyde sat back down and put his head in his hands. "Foreman…what is wrong with me? Why do I keep hurting her?" He asked.
"Because you're scared of your feelings for her." Eric said honestly.
Hyde looked up at Eric and stared shocked at him. "How did you-?"
"Oh come oh Hyde…we all know you love her. You just have to stop being afraid to be happy…unfortunately, now you have to find a way to fix her. And it's going to take a long time." He said.
Hyde sighed. "I know…I just…I miss her man." He said honestly. "I really do…"
He nodded. "I know man…I know."
Pastor Dave looked at Hyde. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to intrude. I didn't realize that this was what happened between you two. I shouldn't have brought it up."
Hyde sighed. "It's not your fault…" He said. "It's my own damn fault." He looked at Pastor Dave who was glaring at him because of his language. "Sorry…darn fault."
"Thank you." He put a hand on Hyde's shoulder. "You know Hyde…the good lord may be able to help you in this situation."
Hyde laughed and looked at Pastor Dave. "Oh yeah? And how could he do that?"
"You gotta pray…" He said softly and then got up and went to the kitchen. "We can finish this later…I think we've done enough for now. I'll see you all at dinner."
"Huh…" Hyde said. "Pray? You think it would work Foreman?"
Eric laughed. "At this point…you might as well try anything."
Hyde laughed at his friend and hoped that Donna could talk to Jackie before it was too late.
Donna knocked on the bathroom door where she could hear Jackie crying hysterically on the other side of the door. "Jackie can I come in?"
Jackie stopped crying for a moment and wiped her tears away. "Go away Donna…"
"Jackie please let me in…you shouldn't be alone right now." She whispered.
"I said go away Donna!" She yelled.
"Fine. I'll just have to open the door the old fashion way." She took a bobby pin from her hair and opened the door. "See. I can get in anywhere."
"Oh lucky you." Jackie said turning her back to her and rolling her eyes.
"Jackie…are you ok?" She asked skeptically.
"How do you think I am?" She asked angrily.
"I guess I deserve the bitchy attitude." She said nodding her head.
She turned towards Donna. "Ya think?"
Donna sighed. "Tell me what to do so I can fix this." She pleaded.
"Donna…you were my best friend. And when I needed you the most…you ditched me for the root of my problems." She said taking a step towards her.
"I know…and I shouldn't have. I guess I just thought that it would be easier to include her in our lives since Hyde chose to stay with her. And…I didn't want to be around you so much because I figured we would both just sit around and be depressed because our boyfriend's left us." She said shrugging her shoulders.
"That's not really an excuse for treating me like crap Donna…I may be a bitch sometimes but I would never, ever treat my friends the way you did." She said honestly.
Donna sighed. "I know…and I am so, so sorry Jackie. I know sorry isn't going to change anything but I really am…and I just want us to be ok again. I promise I will never do that again and you can torture me forever if that's how long it takes for us to be friends again. I just want my best friend back Jackie…I just want her back." She said with her own tears in her eyes.
"I want that girl back too Donna…but she's still stuck in a motel in Chicago…" She said sadly shaking her head.
Donna cocked her head. "What do you mean?"
Jackie sighed and sat down the toilet seat. "I just feel like I'm this completely different person since that night Donna. I mean…I couldn't even move when I saw Steven standing there. I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest…I just didn't know what to do. I mean the pain I saw in his eyes…it killed me. And now that girl is stuck there…and I'm here living in this horrible new life. And all I want…is to go back to that night and erase Michael Kelso from it and to fall into Steven's arms and kiss him until I die. But…I can't…because he left. And he got married…and even though he is divorcing her it won't change anything." She said shrugging her shoulders and letting the tears fall from her eyes.
"Oh…Jackie…" She said sitting next to her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Why won't it change anything Jackie? If you want to be with him…why can't you just do it?" She asked.
Jackie sighed. "Because…it still hurts." She said looking at Donna and putting her hands on her heart. "My heart still hurts…" She whispered. "I know he didn't love Sam…I do…is just that the fact that he could stay married to her and he couldn't see a future with me…that part killed me. And I don't know if I can forgive him…" She whispered.
Donna rubbed her shoulders and let her rest her head on them. "He really does love you…" She whispered. "I know he does…I can tell by the way he looks at you. And the way he talks about you…and because he told us all he did when you left the basement the other day."
She looked up at Donna shock written all over her face. "He did?" She asked sniffling.
Donna smiled at her. "Yeah…he did."
"Wow…" She whispered.
"Why don't you go talk to him? I mean I'm not saying that you have to get back together now…but you should just talk. Get some things out of the way…" She said shrugging her shoulders.
Jackie smiled at her. "Yeah…you're right. I will." She got up and headed towards the door but Donna stopped her.
"Jackie?" She turned and looked at her. "Are we friends again?"
Jackie smiled. "I'm still hurt…but I think that someday we could be best friends again. We'll work on it ok?" She asked.
Donna smiled and nodded. "Sounds good."
Jackie smiled and headed towards her and Hyde's room taking deep breathes on the way.
She wasn't sure what this conversation would lead to or how she should go about it. But she knew it had to be done…But she had to remind herself that it wouldn't be right to start anything real or romantic with him now. It was just about talking and getting something's talked out…They could see where they would go from there. She got to the door and knocked slightly before peeking her head in. She saw Hyde sitting on the bed and he sat up when she walked in.
"Hey…" He whispered.
She smiled back wiping her eyes to rid herself of her tears. "Hey…" She whispered back as she entered the room and sat across from him.
"Um…are you ok?" He asked truly concerned.
She took a deep breathe. "Honestly?" He nodded. "No."
His shoulders fell. "Oh…Jackie I-"
"But I will be…" She whispered and smiled slightly.
"Jackie…I shouldn't have said those things. Especially not in front of Eric, Donna and Pastor Dave. It wasn't right of me…" He whispered.
"It's ok…I mean we're all here to get closer right?" She said shrugging her shoulders and trying to hold in her tears with a fake smile.
Hyde sighed and placed a hand on her knee. "Jackie…I really am sorry about everything that happened. I never, ever meant to hurt you the way I did."
She smiled her best happy smile at him and took a shaky breathe. "I know you didn't…"
"Everything just got so messed up…and I didn't know what to do about it all. And with Sam…" He saw her grimace at the mention of her name but he had to continue before he lost his nerve. "With Sam I just…I figured it would be easier to stay with her. That way I wouldn't hurt you anymore. I thought you would move on and find someone else who would treat you better…and give you all the things you deserve. Give you everything you want and desire." He said honestly.
"Steven…you were what I wanted and desired." She said honestly.
He hung his head in shame. "Yeah…I wish I had known that back then." He whispered.
"Me too…" She laughed sadly.
He looked up at her and searched her face and eyes for the love that he had seen so much before. He knew it was there…it had to be so he was going to lay his feelings on the line and pray to God that she did the same. "Look Jackie…do you think…do you think we could try this again?" He asked quietly.
She gasped slightly and opened her mouth to respond with a loud and happy yes but her head and heart got the better of her and she stopped herself. Taking a deep breathe she took Hyde's hand in hers and rubbed his knuckles like she always did when they were having a serious talk. "Steven…" She whispered. "We gave it a good shot…" She whispered and his heart started to pound in his chest. "We really did…" She took a deep breathe to prepare herself for this step. "But we just won't work out…" She whispered. "We're just not right for each other…"
Hyde stared at her trying to tell himself that this was some sick joke she was making to get back at him for marrying Sam and hurting her. "But Jackie-"
She smiled sympathetically a him. "Come on Steven…we can still be friends. Let's just put on a good front for Donna and Eric. We don't want to ruin their special weekend." She whispered.
Hyde looked at her and saw in her eyes that she was lying…she was trying to protect herself but he couldn't push her now. He had to take this at her pace and eventually…he would have her again. At least he hoped. So he took a deep breathe and tried to ignore the pain in his heart. "Ok Jackie…we can be friends." He said.
She smiled and leaned forward to kiss his cheek. "Good. I think dinner is almost ready…come on. Let's go." She said getting up and walking out the door.
Hyde sighed as he watched her walk away from him…again. "God Jack's…I'm so sorry baby…so, so sorry." With that he got up and went to follow the girl he loved to celebrate his best friend's engagement. But all he could think about was the fact that that could have been him if he hadn't been so stupid…maybe someday…
