By: Stephy
Hey guys! Chapter 4 is finally up! I just want to thank everyone who read and reviewed my fic. It means a lot! I also want to give a special thanks to Kats02980416 giving me an idea. Enjoy and keep your reviews coming!
Hyde entered Jackie's room. The lights were dim, and the air had a somber touch to it. As he gazed straight ahead, he could see her tiny frame lying on the white sheets. He winced a little as he witness the IV's piercing through her skin.
He slowly began to walk closer. He pulled out the chair from the corner of the room, and sat by the edge of her bed.
She was bruised from head to toe and had a broken leg along with bruised ribs. She was still in a slight coma, but the doctor did say the chances of her waking up were pretty damn good. He tried to push his government theories involving doctors, because he desperately wanted to believe him.
It hurt Hyde so much to see her like that, and not able to do a damn thing. He carefully picked up her hand and brought it to his face. His baby blues closed as he nuzzled her tiny hand.
Millions of thoughts were racing in his mind. All which were eventually interrupted by a slight whimper.
"Jacks?" His voice was low and shaky. He lowered his hand back down, never letting go of hers.
"Huh?" Her voice was groggily.
When she finally gained focus, she studied his face. Her eyebrows knitted in total confusion as her eyes bore into his. She was about to say something but he cut her off.
"I'm so glad you're ok."
He took a deep breath.
"I love you Jackie Burkhart, and I mean it. I'm not going to take it back this time." His tone was filled with so much relief.
Her blue-green orbs remained emotionless. She gave him an uncomfortable smile.
"Umm, yeah, thanks. But I hope you don't mind me asking, who are you?"
Gradually, Hyde's heart sunk at her wondering question.
-Later that day:
Everyone minus Hyde and Jackie are chilling in the basement.
Donna was seated on the couch with Eric's arm wrapped around her shoulders.
"Jackie is coming home today, guys." She said very pleased.
"It's amazing how she, 'The Devil' escaped death just like that. It's like the time in Star Wars when Darth-"
He stopped in mid-sentence when everyone in the room groaned.
"What?" Eric asked innocently baffled.
"Eric, cough it up now!" Demanded Donna as she held out her hand.
"Fine! Here! Take it!" His face pouted as he handed her a crisp 5-dollar bill.
Fez looked back and forth between them. "What the hell was that about?"
Suddenly a cocky smile spread across the foreigner's face.
"Ah, Donna is your prostitute and she's paying you for wild monkey sex last night. I'll give you 50 cents for tonight you sexy red head."
"Fez!" She yelled.
"Eric has to pay me every time he makes a Star War's reference. I'm not a prostitute!"
"Yeah!" agreed Eric.
"And Donna's sex is worth way more then 50 cents." Finished Eric.
"Eric!" She yelled as she tossed off his arms.
"What?!" He screamed as he threw his hands up in defense.
"Oh no my little friend. You awakened the scary red dragon!" Fez stated in a frighten manner, as he eagerly pointed to Donna. "Shame on you!"
In ignoring Fez, Eric turned back to his fiancé. "Now remember, around dinner you'll come over and call me a scrawny little whore. Then I'll dump you right in front of my parents." "Wait a second Eric. How come I can't dump you?"
Eric slumped his shoulders. "Because honey, we need to make this believable."
Fez interrupted. "In that case Eric you really should let Donna dump you. She's way to sexy to be dropped like bad candy."
"Wait, I'm not sexy?" Asked a very shocked Eric.
"Eric, don't do this to yourself." Donna filled in, as she rubbed his back.
Just then, Hyde entered with a limping Jackie.
Donna along with Kelso and Fez rushed over to welcome the brunette.
"I might as well get up too." Eric said to no one in particular, as he slowly made his way.
Donna: "Jackie, how are you feeling?"
Kelso: "Wow the bruises and crutches don't make you look too pretty!"
Fez: "I saved you a piece of my candy for you, but you can only have one!"
Eric: "Ok, who touched my ass?"
Jackie looked like a deer caught in the headlights, as the group huddled around her. Hyde positioned himself between his friends and Jackie.
"Guys, back-off alright." Hyde said completely aggravated.
He turned towards Jackie and his expression soften. "Baby, why don't you go take a seat on the couch. Ok?"
Jackie nodded as she continued to stare at the group as if they were a bunch of mutants.
"Hyde, what's up?" Donna asked while she took a glance at Jackie.
Hyde ran his fingers through his curls.
"The doctor says she's suffering from amnesia." His voice was worried and upset.
"Oh, I heard that's caused by pollen and pet fur."
Eric blankly stared at his friend. "That's asthma, Fez."
Fez just stood there contemplating it. "Oh! I know!" Exclaimed an overly excited Kelso.
"We could just hit Jackie on the head with something really, really hard!"
Donna rolled her eyes. "Eric-"
"Got it." Said her fiancé, as he punched Kelso on the arm.
"Ow!" Kelso began to rub his arm while glaring at Forman.
Jackie started to get frustrated. She got up and made her way over towards the arguing group.
"I might have no memory, but I'm not deaf! Stop talking like I'm not even in the room!"
Kelso draped his arm around her. "Sorry, that was highly insensitive of us Jackie. I'm Michael and we're a couple who have really great sex!"
Eric slapped his hand on his forehead. "Kelso man, I know your stupid, but come on! Hyde is standing right there." Eric motioned with his hand.
"Kelso, if you don't stop touching Jackie, I'm gonna rip your hands off and beat you with them." Hyde was clearly pissed as he edged closer towards Kelso.
Kelso slowly removed his hand and carefully backed away. "Never mind."
"Jackie, I'm Donna. We're really good friends, and you always call me a lumberjack. And this is my fiancé Eric, and this is Fez."
"Nice to meet you guys." Jackie greeted with a half smile.
"Wow! Jackie is being polite. This is just like that part in Star Wars when- Damn it!" Eric shut-up quickly and handed Donna another Lincoln.
Donna just shamefully shook her head.
After witnessing everyone, Jackie turned to face Hyde. "I don't think I want my memory back."
"I know exactly what you mean, doll."
Kitty and Red then trotted down the stairs.
"Aww, Kitty! Do we have to take in another orphan kid? We already have two dumbasses! And sadly, one is related to us."
"Red!" Her tone was full of warning.
"Jackie dear, I have Laurie's old room made up you. You can say with us as long as you like!"
"Thank you Mrs. Foreman."
Jackie turn back towards Hyde. "I'm going to go check out my room, Thanks for everything Hyde."
The sound of 'Hyde' coming from Jackie's lips felt like acid cutting through his skin. He really missed his Jackie.
"BURN!" Shouted Kelso. "How does it feel to be another Hyde to her?"
"Kelso, quit while you're ahead before we let Hyde pain you." Donna calmly stated, clearly annoyed.
Hyde chose to ignore Kelso; otherwise he might do something drastic. Kelso was really standing on thin ice with him.
He cleared his throat.
"Umm Jackie, you usually call me Steven." Hyde's voice was low and disappointed.
"Why? Every one else calls you Hyde."
"Yeah, but-it's just-forget it. Go check out your room. I'll be down here."
Jackie just shrugged and allowed Mrs. Forman to help her up the stairs.
"God Donna! You-"
"Shut-up Eric!" Red said cutting off Eric's little rant."
"I'm not a freaking moron! God knows where you got it from!"
Mr. Forman then went back into the kitchen.
Donna smacked Eric on the head. "Told you your plan was pointless and dumb. I swear if Red doesn't stick his foot up your ass I just might."
"See honey, you gotta say crude stuff like that when he's around."
"Eric for the love of God, give it up!"
Donna lifted up her wrist to check her watch. "I got to go, I promised my dad I be home for dinner. He's bringing a date."
"Alright, I'll be here whipping up a new plan." Donna rolled her eyes as she made her way out.
"Hey, my plans rock." Eric stated feeling assaulted.
"Foreman, your plans are just as bright as Kelso's" Hyde replied
"Burn!-wait a second!" exclaimed Kelso. He thought about it as he continued to sucked on his Popsicle.
Eric went next to Hyde. "At least she's no longer bossy and shallow."
"Yeah man, but that's what I miss about her." Hyde's voice was emotionless.
Eric studied his friend's face. "Jeez, you must be in love. Never saw it coming."
"Get bent, Foreman." Hyde remained Zen.
Two flat seconds later, a strange girl made her way down the basement stairs. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Hyde."
Everybody looked up at the raspy girls voice. She had short brown hair, lean figure and was apparently wearing her work uniform.
"Kelly?" Hyde asked, as he recognized the girl. It was his co-worker that had kissed him at work.
TBC!
So sorry for the long wait guys! I'm trying to balance school, work, cheerleading, and track. But I'm a lot less crowded and the updates will be more frequent! Thanks for being patient! There's probably going to be 1 or 2 chapters left!
