Unexpected - Chapter 1: An Emptiness

"But, Jackie....I love you."
His voice was still in her head. She tried to forget those words as she lay on the couch, but her mind kept wandering back to that moment.
She ran her finger along the lettering of his Led Zeppelin tshirt and stared at the ceiling. It was almost a week later and she had barely left Donna's place. She hadn't even seen Steven since the incident. It was enough time to have replayed all the events of the last few days in her head and wonder if she'd made the right decision.
Sighing, she cuddled the shirt, her tears seeping into the fabric. She didn't even notice Donna standing over her.
"Hey," she said quietly. "How you doing?"
Jackie sat up and wiped away a tear, "Well, my boyfriend cheated on me! I'm just hunky dory, Donna!"
Donna smiled and sat down on the couch next to Jackie. "I'm sorry. But Jackie, you can't just mope around my house all day. You're gonna have to see him sometime. I mean, when you and Kelso broke up, you still hung out in the basement."
"I know but that was different."
"How so?"
"It just was okay!" Jackie bit her fingernail and lowered her voice. "It just was...."
"You know.....you're gonna mess up your manicure if you keep biting on that."
Jackie paused and withdrew her hand from her mouth. Too desperate for something to do with her hands, she shrugged and continued gnawing at her jagged finger nails. "What does it matter."
Donna sighed and continued. "Well, have you even been going to school?"
"Well, I called in sick three times.....changed my schedule around so I wouldn't have to see him.....skipped a couple classes..."
Donna looked at her friend with worry. Jackie was never one to blow off school. She did her homework on Saturday for God's sake! And to not care about her appearance? She had no trace of makeup on her face, her hair was atrocious, and nail biting? Donna had never seen Jackie so unlike Jackie before. She wondered if that was good or bad, but quickly shook off the thought.
Jackie looked up from her hand and picked up the tshirt again. She stared at it for a long time, a remorseful look on her face, and turned to Donna.
"....I don't even like Led Zeppelin..." she said quietly.
Donna gave her a sympathetic smile before putting an arm around her. "It's okay, you'll get through this."
Jackie leaned on Donna's shoulder and sighed. "I hope so."
She clutched the shirt in her hand and held it to her face. A feeling of sorrow sweeped over her as she sniffed the last lingering scent of her Steven.
