Honesty Of The Heart
By: Stephy
Thanks for the great reviews guys! I'm glad you are all enjoying!
It's been three lonely days since his fight with Jackie. Every time he tried contacting her, he always failed miserably. He hated feeling this way. Never in his life had he felt such heartbreaking pain. He was experiencing new emotions, and he didn't like it. Not one bit.
Hyde sat in his usual chair down in Forman's basement. His thoughts were interrupted by his scrawny friend's voice.
"Hyde man, dinner is ready. You coming?"
"No." He said bluntly.
Eric studied his friend's face for a moment.
"Come on, you're a wreck. I mean its just Jackie. It's probably for the better, since she's the devil and all."
"Get bent man! I am over her. In fact I haven't even thought about her. Where the hell do you get off saying I'm a wreck?"
Hyde was now up from his seat, arms crossed as he glared at Forman.
"Whoa, no problem. I was just saying, because, you know. You look kind of hurt and all."
"Well I don't hurt, ok? I'm Zen."
"So you gonna eat then? Because if you don't come up mom will cry."
"Fine man, whatever."
-In the kitchen:
"Steven honey, what's wrong? You barely touch your dinner."
"Sorry Mrs. Forman. Dinner is great."
With that he took a huge bite out of his chicken.
"Is it because of that little Burkhart girl?" "Oh Kitty, leave Steven alone. If you keep asking him what's wrong he's going to tell us."
Kitty whipped her head towards her husband. "CAN IT RED!"
Hyde sighed in frustration.
"Thanks for your concern Mrs. Forman, but I'm fine. In matter a fact I'm great." He had a phony smile plastered on his face, though nobody seemed to take notice.
Donna then made her way into the kitchen. At her entrance, Eric got up from the table and made his way to her.
"Hey honey." He gave her a happy, loving hug.
"Look Kitty, future Mr. and Mrs. Dumbass look so picture perfect."
Eric let go of his fiancé and turned his attention to Red.
"Come on dad, do you have to burn us all the time? I mean is that really necessary?"
"Shut-up dumbass! If you still refuse to break-off this freak wedding then I will kick you out."
"Oh yeah? Well I'm going to college so there!"
Red walked up to face his son.
"I don't know how you're going manage college, because I'm not paying your way!"
With that said Red walked out of the kitchen.
"Oh dear, umm, don't worry Eric. Your father still loves you. RED!" Kitty exits.
Eric turned back to Donna.
"Well that went well. What did you need?"
Donna walked pass Eric and made her way towards Hyde.
"Actually I needed to talk to Hyde."
She handed him a rolled-up black shirt. As he unraveled it his face fell.
It was his favorite Led Zeppelin shirt that he had given to Jackie.
"Sorry Hyde. I just got back from Jackie's and she asked me to give that to you." Without saying a word he dropped his shirt to the floor and left to his room.
-Later that day:
"Michael what are you doing here?"
"Hey Jackie, I just thought I stop by and see how you were doing. You look like you're in need of some major Kelso lovin' to ease your pain." He stated as he rubbed his abs.
The tiny brunette threw her hands in the air.
"Ugh! Go away Michael." She replied, as she was about to slam the door shut.
Kelso used his body to stop her from shutting it.
"Wait Jackie, I was just kidding. Come on, let me treat you to a burger at the hub."
She contemplated the thought for a minute, "Ok, but strictly as friends!"
Kelso raised his hands in surrender. "I swear, just friends."
-Meanwhile:
*She gave back the shirt. I can't believe it.* Hyde sat on his bed as he tried to figure out just what to do.
He never new an act as such could have this amount of affect on him. It was just a shirt. This whole mess could have been avoided if he just admitted he loved her when he said it.
With that thought in mind, he became determine to fine her and to tell her. He figured he better work fast before he came to his senses and decided against it.
-Forman's living room:
"Ok Donna, here's the plan, we will pretend to hate each other in order to keep me in safe living."
Donna shook her head at her fiancé's so called brilliant plan.
"Eric, I thought we were going to show him how mature we could be?"
"Well that's not working quite well, now is it?" He replied sarcastically.
Fez decided to speak up.
"Oh Eric, your idea will never work. You and Donna love each other too much to fake hatred."
Depression then clouded the foreigner's features. "I miss my sweet Nina."
"Fez isn't she seeing you today?" Asked a slightly confused Eric.
"Yes, but I still miss her. I really miss doing it."
Donna proceeded to ignore Fez.
"Your plan is not going to work, Eric. Red will see right through our act."
"I know Red is creepy like that, but this will work. As soon as he pays my way through school, then we'll break it to him again."
"I'm not doing it. It makes no sense."
"Donna, baby, trust me."
"Oh God." Replied a defeated Donna.

Hyde made his way into the hub. He couldn't find Jackie anywhere. He checked her house, job, mall, but she was nowhere to be found.
He decided to get a quick bite. Before he could take another step, he saw Jackie, with Kelso. He then watched as Jackie got up to go to the bathroom. He strolled over to the table, not at all amused.
"Kelso, what the hell man?"
"Hey Hyde. Since you and Jackie were finished she realized just how much she loved me."
He took a bite of his burger before proceeding.
"She was all 'Oh Michael you are so sexy, and much better in bed then Hyde.'"
Kelso stated in a girly voice.
"Kelso man I am so going to kick your ass!"
Just then, Jackie made an appearance.
"Steven?" she asked almost in shock.
Hyde turned to face Jackie.
"I can't believe you're back with this idiot! You could forgive him and not me?"
Jackie turned to a smirking Kelso then back to Hyde. Completely speechless.
"You know what Jackie? I'm glad we're over, and I'm glad you hate me! You are such a shallow, selfish BRAT!"
The words stung hard. She watched as he stormed out of the Hub.
Still smiling Kelso began to speak. "So, where were we?"
"Michael!" She decided to yell at him later. She needed to tell Steven that she wasn't with Michael. All in honesty, she really didn't hate him. She was just really hurt. She actually really missed him. She'd cried to Donna all day about it.
It hurt to even give back the shirt. She slept in it every night. All she wanted was for Steven to stop hiding from his true feelings.
She ran out screaming his name. He just kept ignoring her as he continued to cross the street.
"STEVEN, STOP!" But he kept walking.
However he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a piercing scream and a car screech. When he finally turned around, to his horror, he witness Jackie get hit by a car.
TBC!
