Description: this is a that I wrote earlier this year. I had writers block with it for a long time but finally finished it up recently. Its a Jackie/Hyde story, nothing new there.

Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story original and the character that I made up is of my own imagination.

Author's note: this is the first story I have put up on here in more than a year, I hope anyone reading enjoys it and has the courtesy to review it as well.

Chapter #10

(Jackie's pov)

" Sleep nicely?", asks Hyde in a gruff tone. Sneaking a peek up at him, I can't help but smile. Did I sleep nicely? Does he really need to ask that? Of course I slept nice. I was wrapped snugly in your arms all night. It's kind of not to have a good nights rest curled up with Steven. It feels so right laying here in his arms like this. I wish we could stay like this.

" Best nights rest ever.", I confide with a tired yawn. Resting my head on Steven's shoulder, I bury my face into his neck. Ugh, god he even smells good. It is really difficult for me to not kiss him again. Last nights kiss was so amazing. The was definitely a spark there too. I've never felt that spark before...well, not since Peter at least. Oh god, Steven is Peter's best friend! What am I doing?

" Aren't you two cute together.", announces Peter with disgust as he walks out from his bedroom. Wow, things just became awkward and fast. Maybe staying the night here wasn't my best idea ever. Why does Steven have to know Peter? Things would be a hell of a lot easier if he didn't. Then I could be curled up like this with Steven and not worried that my ex is going to wake up and have a problem that I'm nuzzled with his best friend.

" Whats going on out here? Jackie, I thought you were sleeping in Hyde's room.", acknowledges Eric as he emerges from his room with a sleepy yawn. Oh great, Eric's up. This is good Eric will make things less uncomfortable. He's good at breaking the tension between these two. Maybe sleeping out here was a bad idea. Peter looks as though he wants to kill Steven right now.

Rubbing at her eyes tiredly, I hold back a yawn of my own," I felt bad about taking Steven's bed, so I came out here last night."

Frowning as I go to stand up, Hyde pulls me back down by my waist," Why are you getting up?"

" I don't know, I just thought...never mind.", I mutter in defeat before leaning back against Hyde. Truth is, I was trying to get up. It suddenly feels wrong to be in Stevens arms with Peter right here. The last thing I want is to put more distance between the two of us than there already is. I don't want him to hate me. But if I pursue things Steven, he might start to. (End Jackie's pov)

(Eric's pov)

" ….Huh, someone say something. This silence is weird.", I point out after two minutes go by with no one talking at all. Good for Steven, its nice to seem him with a girl he likes finally. It is kind unfortunate that it has to be Peter's ex girlfriend though. He's not going to just let Hyde snag his girl from him either. He still loves Jackie, he's not letting her go without a fight.

" Thanks for the update Eric.", jokes Jackie before playfully hitting me with a nearby pillow. What? Oh come on. Did she honestly expect me not to point out the obvious? Its kind of hard not to. Besides someone had to break the tension in the damn room. I sure as hell didn't see Jackie coming up with a way to do that anytime soon.

" My bad Jackie, wanna come in the kitchen with me and make breakfast?", I offer with an apologetic smile. Watching as relief watches over Jackie's features, I can't help but chuckle to myself. Poor girl was beginning to look like a deer caught in the head lights. Of course I had to rescue her. These two morons are going to quit giving one another angry scowls anytime soon after all.

Giving Hyde a quick peck on his cheek, Jackie jumps up from her seat on the couch," great idea Eric, my stomach is eternally thankful."

With a shake of my head and a laugh, I follow Jackie into the kitchen," you're something else, you know that Jackie? A guy could get used to having you around, great company."

" I get that a lot actually.", teases Jackie with a playful nudge. Damn, I can see how Hyde fell for Jackie. I mean well...look at her. This girl is a knock out. There is no doubt about that. Peter can't really blame Hyde for developing feelings for Jackie, it's kind of hard not to. I'd never date Jackie, not because she isn't hot. But you know, I could never do that to Peter. He is my best friend aside from Hyde.

" I'll bet you do Jackie, I'll bet you do.", I mutter with a smirk before searching the kitchen for everything we'll need to make breakfast. I really hope that Hyde and Peter are able to settle their differences somehow. It would kill Jackie if she were to somehow come between the two of them. I know that's the last thing that she wants to do. Hopefully they'll talk things out and not with their fists. (End Eric's pov)

Author's note: Alright, this story could go one of two ways. Its vote time now, who do you want Jackie to end up with in the long run? Let me know in a review, come on this is your choice people Peter or Hyde?
