Jackie stared at her long time boyfriend knowing that this conversation was
going to lead to the biggest confrontation they've ever had in the history
of there relationship.
"When I saw you and that girl at the Hub, every fiber of my being was screaming at me to go over there and slap that little hussy across the face, but do you know what stopped me?" she asked looking at Steven who in return just shook his head no.
"I heard you laugh," Jackie said simply. She ran her fingers through her hair and began to pace around the basement. "And it wasn't you usual sarcastic, somebody did something stupid laugh, it was a genuinely, I'm having a good time laugh. So instead of going over there and confronting the two of you, I just watched you." Jackie had stopped pacing and turned back to face Hyde. He looked like he was about to say something but Jackie cut him off. "It looked like you two had a lot in common."
Hyde stood up and walked over to Jackie, aggravation gleaming in his eyes. He really didn't appreciate being cross-examined. " Look Jackie, nothing happened between me and Marcy, ok. She's just someone I met in one of my classes that I enjoy talking to. Is it a crime for me to talk to someone that I actually have something in common with?"
Jackie stared at Hyde not even blinking her eyes. "No, it isn't"
"So you believe me when I say nothing happened" Hyde said, giving her an unsure look.
"Yes" Jackie said in a quite voice, she then lowered her gaze to the floor "I never thought that you actually did do something with her."
"So were done with this, I mean we can just drop this and move on"
Jackie quickly snapped her head up to look at Hyde, " no, actually we cant'"
Hyde ran an aggravated hand through his hair and began to speak, " Look, Jackie."
Jackie cut him off, " No, Steven, just shut up and sit down and listen to what I have to say,"
Hyde looked at her for a second and could tell that she was serious, so he did what she asked.
Jackie walked in front of him and began to talk, " When I saw you and that girl talking and having a good time, it reminded me of how we're not having such a good time these days. We've been fighting a lot over so many stupid thing and just seeing you with her acting like you were really happy got me to wondering if I make you really sad, because it's been a long time since you looked at me the way you were looking at her."
Hyde opened his mouth to say something but Jackie waved her hands to cut him off, " No just stay quite until I'm done or I'm going to lose my courage to say what I have to say"
Jackie pause and took a breath and began to talk again, " I know I'm not an easy person to be with. I'm bossy and.bitchy and.spoiled, but it's who I am Steven, I can only change so much," Jackie pause briefly to wipe away a tear that was starting to slide down her face. " But you know your not a easy person to be with either, I mean your stubborn, sarcastic, completely unromantic, and I bet it would be easier to break into Fort Knox's then getting you to admit you had feeling for anyone."
Jackie's voice began to break, "Do you know that I've been wanting to tell you that I love you for months now but I never did because I knew that couldn't, or wouldn't say it back to me."
Hyde just stared at Jackie, he felt as if someone had just sucked all the oxygen out of the room making it hard for him to breath.
Jackie closed her eyes as another tear slide down her cheek, " Look Steven, I love you, Ok. Probably more then I have ever loved anyone in my entire life and I know your probably sitting they're freaking out right now but I really don't care because I'm not going to apologize for loving you."
Jackie looked away from Steven before continuing with her thought. "And because I love you," her voice began to break, " I'll let you go."
It felt as if someone had just exploded a bomb in Hyde's ears as he listen to Jackie's last statement. "What do you mean Jackie?"
"I mean, that if your tired of this relationship and you want to end it.I can deal with that. I'll be hurt but I'll be able to handle it. So if that's want you tell me because if you don't tell me and you end up cheating on me, that's something I want be able to handle. It's something that I'll never be able to forgive you for, and I'll end up hating you."
Hyde felt as if his entire body was frozen and he was unable to either move or talk.
Jackie wipe the remaining tears from her eyes and began to walk towards the basement door, "I'm going to leave you alone and let you think about this" and with that she was out the door leaving Hyde alone with his thoughts.
Let me know what you think!!! Part 2 will deal with all of Hyde's thought to what Jackie said.
