Chapter 3
Hyde drove Jackie straight to the hospital and waited by her side all night. The doctors had said that she would be fine, she just needed stitches.
"Steven?"
"Yes Jacks. I'm here."
"Am I going to be alright?"
"Yes. You got stitches but everything's going to be fine."
"Okay. Will there be a scar?"
"I don't know, probably."
"Oh." Jackie said quietly. Hyde knew that she would ask that question but the truth was the doctor had said that the scar wasn't going to be noticeable at all.

Jackie and Hyde went over to Eric's old basement. The gang was in shock when they saw
Jackie and Hyde together. They hadn't been in the same room together since Jackie went
to Acapulco that summer.
"Hey guys." Donna said trying to ease the tension in the room.
"Hi. I got stitches and now nobody's going to want me to model!" Jackie started crying in
Donna's arms. Hyde just froze.
"What happened?" Donna asked as she rubbed Jackie's back.
"This guy tried to take advantage of her but she managed to escape. She ran over to me
and the next thing I knew is that she was on the floor, she finally woke up and her chin
was bleeding really badly." Hyde said without any expression. He then walked into his
old room. It was his little way of escaping.
"Oh. Jackie I'm so sorry." Eric said.
"Jackie, I'm sure you can still model. It will be okay. I'm sure it's not that bad." Donna
said.
"At least you still have your hot body." Fez stated. Everyone glared at him. "What?"
"Damn Jackie, you're still one of the hottest models out there. They will still want you to
model for them. You're hot and trust me, I know hot!" Kelso exclaimed. "I got to go now
and watch Gilligan's Island." Kelso was off.
"There's a t.v. right here." Eric said. He shook his head at his friend. He then
remembered that Hyde had just walked out on the group and wondered what could be
going on with him. Eric walked into Hyde's dark room. "Hey man."
"Hey Foreman." Hyde said.
"What's up?"
"I think Sharon's having an affair."
"What?!" Eric exclaimed.
"Calm down Erica. It's not like its news to me. We haven't been that great since well...
we got married."
"Oh man. Hyde I'm so sorry. I bet it's not what you think though."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you always seem so in love and it's not like you easily settle down with someone
so I think Sharon's special." Hyde looked at Eric confused. "Just talk to her. I know you
guys. You two will work it out. You guys are meant to be."
"Maybe you're right. We are married. We have problems. Married people work on their
problems. I'm going to go home and talk to her right now. It's all good."
"Hyde, don't worry. She loves you. I can tell when she stares in your eyes the way Jackie
used-"
"Yeah, I get it Foreman." Hyde shrugged. "I'll see you tomorrow." Hyde rushed out of
the basement.

"Honey?" Sharon asked.
"Yes. I just came back from the hospital. An old friend of mine-" Hyde stopped when he
saw his wife standing at the kitchen table, noticing the suitcase in her hands.
"Honey... Steven-"
"Call me Hyde." Hyde snapped.
"Hyde... I'm moving out." Sharon looked away as if she was about to cry. Hyde felt so
hurt. He loved her so much. He loved her after he never thought he could love again. He
felt a sharp pain in the pit of his stomach and a huge lump in his throat. He couldn't
believe what she was saying.
"When?"
"Tonight. I have an apartment on the other end of town. I will have movers come by
tomorrow to pick up the rest of my stuff." Sharon paused. "I'm so sorry Hyde."
"Just one more person to walk out of my life." Hyde laughed. "Nobody ever stays."
Sharon then kissed him on the cheek and walked out the front door, and walked out of his
life.
Hyde drove Jackie straight to the hospital and waited by her side all night. The doctors had said that she would be fine, she just needed stitches.
