Summary: Hyde reflects on Jackie and Kelso's relationship.
Author's Notes: A bit on the dismal side. Shows shades of things in my own life, kinda sad. Sorry, I've just been in a strange mood lately.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, and the song belongs to Tom Petty.
She wore faded jeans, and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
When she needed me, I wasn't around
That's the way things go, it'll all work out.
She got back together with the dushebag last week. I can't fuckin' believe it, even though I shoulda seen it coming. She went back to him, and it's all my fault.
"Jackie, take me back." Kelso whined pitifully. It pissed me off how close he was leaning over her, his face only inches from hers. His hands were braced on either side of her. She looked so small compared to him, freakishly small really. Too small.
Her eyes darted over to where I was sitting in my chair. Pleading with me for an answer. I know I snorted and rolled my eyes, trying to pretend I didn't care. Had I had the balls to be honest with myself, I know I was terrified at what she'd say. If I would have shown any emotion, I know for a fact she wouldn't have told him 'yes.
But I said nothing, she's with him, and that's just how it goes.
There were times apart, there were times together
I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most, I let her down
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out.
I remember the look she had on her face when I told her we were going on a date. She was so excited; it looked like I'd handed her the damn moon or something. Truth was that's the same way I felt when I figured out she had a thing for me. All warm, and peaceful. Made me sound like a fuckin' pansy the way I'm describing it, but that's how it is. I learned my lesson about being honest with my feelings the minute Jackie went back to Kelso.
The first time he hurt her, nobody was there for her. She tried to get me involved, and I acted like an asshole. She was hurting, and I exploited that. I made fun of her, and that was just wrong. I shoulda spent more time making fun of Kelso. This time when the dillhole hurts her, I will help her. I'll kick Kelso's ass, but most important, I'll be there for Jackie, always.
It'll all work out, eventually
Better off with him than here with me.
The only problem with my plan is this: I'm not good enough for her. Not that a dillsmack like Kelso is, but at least he has money. I'm a broke, and abandoned orphan. Jackie needs someone to take care of her, Kelso can do that better than I can. He can take care of what she needs, in ways I'll never be able to. But he will hurt her, and she'll come crying to me. Then Kelso will do something sweet/adorable/fabulous etc, and she'll go back to him. It'll happen again, and again. That's how it'll work out, forever.
Now the wind is high, and the rain is heavy
And the wind is rising in the levy
Still I think of her when the sun goes down
It never goes away, but it all works out.
