Description: This is another story that I've had stewing in my mind ever since i was halfway done writing the most recent one i posted on line onto notebook paper. Its another Jackie/Hyde fanfic...ooooh big shocker huh? I know, me writing a Jackie/Hyde story? Who would have ever thought. ... P . well, i thought i would test the waters with this story. Let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: i don't own any part of That 70's show. But you know that if i did, i would cut out the 8th season because randy and Sam ruined the show and Jackie ending up with fez was the nail in the coffin for it to me.

Author's note: i just wanted to thank the following people; spaci1, jessie1989 and give a huge special thanks to chickWguitar2003. Your advice and insight really means a lot for me, i enjoy reading your reviews most of all, you give me constructive feed back and i like that. So thank you )

Chapter #6

(Jackie's pov)

" So, thanks for staying with me Adam.", I mutter sheepishly after finally recovering from vomiting outside of Hyde's car. God, I feel like crap right now. And I probably look horrible. But Adam doesn't seem to mind all that much. He is still here after all. He even held my hair back as I blew chunks. I just don't get it. One minute I was feeling perfectly fine, drunk but fine. And then the next I'm bent over spewing my brains out. God, I officially hate drinking. In fact, the next guy that ever offers me a drink? I just might kick him in the stones.

" I wanted to. Besides, I was kind of dragged to this party anyway.", admits Adam with a concern smile as he helps me back into the car. Staring over at him now, I give him a funny look. He really wants to be out here with me? Why would any guy want to miss out on a party to take care of a drunk girl? That doesn't make any sense. Usually a guy goes to a party looking for a drunk girl to take advantage of. But apparently not Adam. And what does he mean that he didn't even want to come to this party? Somehow I highly doubt this. Who in their right minds would pass up a party? Nobody that I know that's for sure.

" You didn't want to come to a party? Somehow I find this hard to believe.", I point out as I now sit up beside him. Why would he not want to go to a place where there is a ton of beer and a ton of girls? You know, unless if he were gay. And I'm not sure, but I don't think that is the case. I think that I would know if Adam were gay. And he doesn't seem like he is. So then why wouldn't he have wanted to come?

" It's the truth Jackie.", he insists with a serious look on his face. Huh, maybe he's telling the truth after all. Maybe he really didn't want to come to this party. Maybe Hyde actually did drag him here. If that's the case though, then why? Couldn't Hyde have just come by himself? He's had no problems going to a party by himself before. Why should tonight be any different?

Taking a sip from my coffee, I raise an eye brow at Adam," you didn't want to come to a party fill with drunken girls?"

" You really find it that hard to believe?", counters Adam with a disappointed frown. Well, now that I think about it...no. I can't say that I do. If finding a girl to mess around with were the only reason Adam came to this party in the first place? Then he probably wouldn't have come to my rescue the way that he did. He probably would be off right now trying to score. Kind of like Hyde probably is right now. I don't understand how he does it. I mean Hyde just goes off and sleeps with all these random girls that he'll never see again. I'm not sure that I could ever do that. Or that I would ever even really want to.

"...No, no I guess not. I mean if that were all you came for, you wouldn't be here with me right now. But you are, and I'm glad.", I admit with a shy smile as my cheeks grow flush at my confession. I can't believe that I just said that. Now he must think that I'm a complete dork. I really need to learn when to keep my mouth shut sometimes. But I am glad that he's here. It's nice to know someone cares enough about me to want to make sure that I'm alright.

" That guy was a jerk.", comforts Adam as he moves to sit beside me. I lay my head on his shoulder and close my eyes. This is nice, I'm actually having fun. More then I ever was inside that damn party. Not to mention that I finally got something into my stomach. Thank god too, I sure was hungry. I only ate like three slices of pizza! But it's not my fault, there was hardly anything in the fridge at my house to eat. And the last time I ate was at the Hub this afternoon before I went to the basement. And that was how long ago?

" Your telling me.", I mumble as agreement. If I weren't so drunk, I would have slapped Brad for trying to grope me. That guy was a pig. I'm so glad that Adam clocked him square in the nose. I think that it's safe to say that, that was the high light of my night. I had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing actually. It was really funny to watch though. I wouldn't be surprised if Adam broke that guys nose. Not that he wouldn't have totally deserved it. ...

(Adam's pov)

Pulling Jackie next to me as she shivers, I wrap her in my arms," so, I'm curios. What is a sophomore like yourself doing at a college frat party?"

" I don't know. I thought that it would be fun. But it was the complete opposite.", confesses Jackie as she settles into my arms. She thought coming to a frat party would be fun? Maybe if she were a guy it would have been. But for a girl like her? It could only spell trouble. And that is exactly what it did. Some jackass fed her beers until she was more then a little tipsy. And then to top it off, he tried getting the poor girl alone. How the hell is that fun?

" Why did you come though?", I inquire mainly out of curiosity. Maybe it's just me, but Jackie doesn't really strike as the type of girl that likes to party. Maybe every once in a while. But going to a college party? Come on, she had to have known that was a bad idea. Or, if she didn't. I would like to think that she does now. I guess all that really matters now, is that she's safe. And I'm going to make sure she stays that way too.

" I just wanted a fun night out so that maybe...just maybe I could forget about my stupid jerk ex boyfriend for one night.", enlightens Jackie with a sad sigh. Oh, I get it now. I suppose that I could understand that. After all, I did just have my own heart ripped out and stomped on by a girl that was supposed to love me. Ha! If that were true, she wouldn't have left me for another guy. ...Dumb bitch that she is. This isn't about me though. It's about Jackie. What guy would be stupid enough to ever want to hurt her? Only an idiot, that's for sure.

" I guess that's understandable.", I reason with a nod of my head. That's partly the reason that Hyde and Greg insisted that I come out with them tonight. They wanted me to have a night of fun out so I could get my mind off of my two timing ex once and for all. Come to think of it, I'll be sure to thank them later. If they hadn't of basically dragged me out here, I would have never met Jackie. But I did, and you know what? I kind of enjoy spending time with her. Who wouldn't though? She's beautiful and really good company too. This night hasn't turned out so bad, hell things could have been worse. We could have wound up at a strip club where Greg had originally wanted to go. Thank god I dodged that bullet, I'd much rather be here with Jackie. ...

(Later that evening; Hyde's pov)

" Hey, how went the party man?", I can hear Adam ask as I make my way toward the Camino. How was the party? Oh, it was just dandy! Things were going great, I found a girl to occupy my time with and everything was great. Things were progressing just fine. Then dumb ass Greg had to go and get into a damn fight. And who has to come to his aid? None other then me. The genius just had to hit on another guys girl. I swear he is more of an idiot then Kelso! You would think that I would have been able to have at least one night of fun. But it just wasn't meant to be. This whole night was a bust.

" Oh, well it was going fine until this idiot decided to make out with another guys girlfriend.", I mutter in a sarcastic tone. Of all the girls to choose from, he chose a girl that was spoken for. And lets just say that the shit hit the fan when the girls boyfriend caught them going at it like a couple of French people at a Frenching contest. So needless to say they got into a fight and one of the guys friends jumped in. And once that happened, I had to save his ass. Greg may be a dumb ass, but I wasn't about to let him get his ass kicked.

" Hey, how the hell was supposed to know that she had a boyfriend?", complains Greg as he nurses his black eye. How were you supposed to know? It's simple, you ask you moron! How difficult would that have been? All you had to say was, 'hey do you have a boyfriend?' this whole disaster of a night could have been prevented if you would have just done that. But I guess your not smart enough to think to do that now are you? ...

(Adam's pov)

" Wow, so you guys got into a fight? I'm really sorry that I missed that. I could have used a good laugh.", I joke with a smirk taking over my face. This earns me two glares and a scowl from Hyde. What? Oh, come on! It's no secret that Greg is a moron. It would have been hilarious to watch him get his ass kicked. And then after I was done laughing my ass off, I might have even jumped in to help them out. Sure Greg might get on my nerves, but he is my friend. And you always help out a friend in need...and then totally burn them later.

Grabbing the car keys from his pocket, Hyde climbs into the drivers seat," Whatever...How did things go with Jackie? Must have been hell right?"

" No, not really. It was actually kind of nice hanging out with Jackie. After she got done puking her guts out, we went for pizza and lots of coffee. Plus, she's kind of cute so that helped a lot.", I add as an after thought as I steal a glance down at Jackie's sleeping form curled up in my arms. There is just no denying that. That's the first thing that I noticed about her come to think of it. And it's kind of hard not to notice this girl. I mean look at her. She doesn't have to try too hard to catch a guys attention that's for sure.

" Try hot is more like it! Who's the chick?", questions Greg as he finally takes notice of Jackie And I want nothing more then to kick his ass right now. He's staring at her like she's a damn piece of meat when she's not. It's jerks like him that piss me off. I may not know Jackie all that well. But from what I can tell, she's an innocent and naive girl. It's no wonder that she needed saving. I'll bet that jackass was feeding her every line in the book.

" Don't even think about it.", I growl as a warning. Giving Greg a stern look that means business, I tighten my hold around Jackie's waist causing her to stir. I know exactly what he's thinking, and if he so much as hits on Jackie? God help me, I won't even hesitate about kicking his ass. I've done it before and if I have to? I will do it again. And I won't even give it a second thought. If I know Hyde, he's probably thinking the same thing that I am right about now. ...

(Greg's pov)

Taking a step back at the look that Adam is giving me, I hold up my hands in defense," alright, I won't. ...Damn Adam, take it easy already."

" No, I'm actually with Adam on this one man. Leave her alone. Or I'll personally kick your ass myself Greg. Are we clear?", barks Hyde from beside me. Damn, him too? What the hell? All this over a girl? What the hell is so damn special about her anyway? More importantly why does Hyde even give a damn? I mean, I can see why Adam does. He's always protective over girls. But Hyde? I don't get it. Maybe there's something that I'm missing here.

" Fine, I get it.", I mumble as I sit back in my seat. All that I said was that she was hot. Because she is! Anyone with eyes could see that much. What is so wrong with paying the girl a compliment. It's not like I was going to try and sleep with her or anything. although, if the opportunity were to present itself...who am I to turn down a girl in need? And for that matter would I really want to? If anything she's probably mind blowing in the sack! ...
