Chapter #33

(Donna's p.o.v.)

" hey, how are you doing Jackie?", I question casually as I enter our room. These last few days have been unusually quiet, Jackie hasn't spoken much. Thats not normal for Jackie, she almost always has something to say or to criticize me on. I'm beginning to worry a little bit, Jackie hardly leaves the house anymore. She hasn't been down to the basement in who knows how long. Lately all she has been doing is reading her Nancy Drew books and writing in some notebook. Which reminds me, when the hell did Jackie buy a notebook. What, is that thing her diary? If so, maybe I should read it like she always does mine.

" why does everyone keep asking me that? Isn't it obvious by now how I'm doing? Its three o'clock in the afternoon and I'm already in my pajamas and ready for bed.", mutters Jackie with a hint of agitation present in her response. Damn, what the hell is her problem? Was it really necessary for Jackie to snap at me the way the she did? Something must really be bothering Jackie, she's never talked to me in that tone. Hyde better not have done anything to upset her again, I swear that I'll kick his ass.

" what crawled up your ass?", I inquire with a frown making its way across my face. Its not just Jackie that needs an attitude adjustment either. Hyde has been more of a jack ass these days. He has been in a crappy mood ever since the Foreman's and I made him go over and talk with Jackie a few days ago. Something must have happened that neither of them want to talk about. Well I'm determined to find out now more then ever, even if its the last thing I do.

" Steven and Joseph did, thats what. The both of them are jerks.", complains Jackie after tossing the book she'd been reading aside. I knew it! Thats it, Hyde is dead when I go down to the basement later. Why can't that idiot stop messing things up already? I thought that he wanted to work things out with Jackie? Every time I talk with her, the moron seems to be making things worse. What the hell could Joe have done though? Him and Jackie are supposed to be the best of friends. What could he have done to get on her bad side? He seems like a pretty nice guy.

Combing out my hair in the mirror, I arch an eye brow in Jackie's direction," well, I know why Hyde is on your crap list. But what did Joe do?"

Plopping down on her makeshift bed, Jackie yanks the covers over her," Joe asked me out this afternoon Donna."

" oh my god, are you serious! What did you say?", I exclaim in excitement while turning my full attention to Jackie. My giddy reaction only seems to make Jackie even more irritated. Oops, perhaps I should have toned down the excited-ness a bit. Its just, ever since I met the guy I have always kind of thought that Jackie and him would make a cute couple. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely rooting for Jackie and Hyde to get back together. But at this point, the odds of that happening seem almost impossible.

" what do you think I said? I told him to leave Donna. I have too many unresolved feelings for Steven to deal with, I don't need anymore.", explains Jackie with a sigh of frustration. Wait, let me get things straight, Joe asked out Jackie....and she told him to leave? Why the hell would she do that? That was kind of a harsh reaction if you ask me. The poor guy must be heart broken by Jackie's response. ...Hold on a second! Did I just hear Jackie correctly? Oh my god! Jackie still has unresolved feelings for Hyde? That is great! That means there could still possibly be a chance for him.

Pulling the blankets off of Jackie's head, I sit down beside her," why would you kick Joe out? But more importantly, you have unresolved feelings for Hyde still? ...Come on. Jackie, you can talk to me. If you still have feelings for Hyde, then why did you throw him out when he came to see you a few days ago?"

" first of all, I'd rather not talk about it. Second of all, I haven't seen Steven since I caught that slut walking out of his room in the basement.", states Jackie in a flat tone before laying back on her bed once more. What is she talking about? Hyde came over to see her not four days ago. Jackie caught that girl coming out of Hyde's bedroom almost a week ago. What, are you going to tell me that Jackie refused to talk with Hyde the other day? I mean, sure that is what he told Eric that she did but still. Jackie didn't even attempt to hear him out?

" Donna, he lied to you. Steven never came by to see me, even if he did I probably wouldn't have spoken to him.", points out Jackie before reaching for her book once more. Watching Jackie as she returns to reading, realization hits me like a truck. That sneaky bastard! Hyde lied to Eric?! He never came over here to talk with Jackie. Why would she lie about something like this if he had? To think that dumb ass had me feeling bad for him this entire time! Jackie never refused to speak with Hyde or kicked him out. The jerk made the whole story up just so the Foreman's and I wouldn't tare him a new one. Ooh, if Hyde thinks that he is going to get away with this he has another thing coming. I'm going to beat the living hell out of him once I get to the basement! I can't believe he would lie about coming to see Jackie. Did he honestly expect me to not find out? Jackie and I only tell one another basically everything. I was bound to find out sooner or later. How stupid could he possibly be to think I'd never figure out he was lying?

Standing from my seat on Jackie's bed, I stalk toward the bedroom door," I'm going over to the basement and kicking Hyde's ass right now!"

Arching an eyebrow as I go to leave, Jackie never once bothers to look up from her Nancy Drew book," yeah, well kick it good Donna. But whatever you do, don't send him over here. I do not want to see Steven." ... (End Donna's p.o.v.)

(Donna's thoughts)

that lying sack of shit! I can not believe Hyde, how could he lie to Eric like that? To think that I felt sorry for him these last couple of days! Ugh, he makes me sick! I'm off to the basement to kick the crap out of Hyde. That jack ass was supposed to go talk to Jackie last week and now I'm finding out that he never did? He has some nerve! He knew that if he told the truth, he would get his ass chewed by the Foreman's and I.

So instead the idiot made up some lame ass story about how when he went to see Jackie, she refused to talk with him. Did Hyde seriously think that he would get away with things? Eventually I would have found out the truth, and I just did. When I asked Jackie how come she refused to talk with Hyde if she still had unresolved feelings for him, she said that he never came to see her. Hyde is so dead once I get down to the basement, for his sake he had better not be there. (End Donna's thoughts)

(Jackie's thoughts)

why does Donna always insist on being such a busy buddy? Couldn't she for once keep her nose out of my personal life? Like an idiot, I told Donna how Joseph asked me out earlier. She was actually happy about that! What is wrong with her? Why would that be a good thing? If anything, its the worst thing ever! Joe is supposed to be one of my oldest most best friends, he's not supposed to develop feelings for me.

Now everything is more complicated than before. I don't know how to react to finding out Joseph likes me, its not even something I want to think about. Now Donna is all in a huff because I mentioned how Steven never came to see me. Apparently Donna and the Foreman's made Steven come to see me a few days ago. Thing is, he never showed.

I think I would know if Steven came to see me. He definitely didn't because I would have gave him more then a piece of my mind and then kicked him out. Like some kind of an idiot, I slipped and told Donna that I still have unresolved feelings for Steven. She is never going to let go that I admitted to this either. What am I supposed to do if she sends Steven over here? I'm not ready to face him or my feelings. Who knows if I ever will be? Urgh! When am I going to learn to keep my big mouth shut?
