Authors Note: I know that this isn't an original concept but please review
as I really need the morale booster. I also have many ideas for future fics
so the encouragement would be much appreciated. Any way I hope you think I
haven't abandoned our favourite couple as I have future plans for them but
just read and remember review.
Chapter Five: Kelso makes a move
Jackie just sat in her room. She didn't do anything she just sat. She had been like that for a week. She even missed out on school, which was so unlike her. She hadn't left her room for the entire time except to go to the bathroom and eat, but even that was becoming a chore. She repeatedly listened to Leo Sayer's ' When I need you'. Both Donna and Fez had come to see her everyday, but they only stayed for a few minutes, as the only thing Jackie could do was cry. It had got so bad that Eric had even come round to give her moral support. Kelso still didn't know the real reason for why she was so upset. Both Donna and Eric had told him she was just having really, really bad PMS. And Steven he hadn't even tried to talk to her at all. He knew how upset she was and yet he still didn't even show his face to grovel for forgiveness.
Jackie heard a knock on the door and instantly thought it was Steven trying to win her back. But her anger just flew up when she only saw Kelso at the door. She looked a complete mess but she didn't care. Her hair was in a messy ponytail and she was still in her nightgown. She gestured for Kelso to come in and shut the door.
Kelso looked around the room and just smirked at Jackie.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, lets say we get naked and make out."
Jackie started to smile, it was the first time in a week had the sensation wanted to cross her mouth.
"What? Jackie I'm serious!" Jackie picked up the pillow and threw it at him. Even though he treated her like a dog, Jackie could always depend on him to say something stupid to make her feel better. Kelso did that little thing he does when he's offended. That's the difference between Michael and Steven; with Michael in a way she knew where she stood. In a weird way she knew that deep down he did love her, and all his cheating was down to him being stupid and weak. But Steven is one of the strongest people she has ever met.
So how could he do that to me. He knew how much Kelso had hurt her and she had expected so much more from him. And she loved him. She was completely head over heels in love with him and he didn't feel the same way. His actions on that were pretty clear. Jackie was on the verge of tears again but pulled herself together as she couldn't break down in front of Kelso.
"Hey Jackie what's wrong?" Kelso asked with genuine concern.
"Huh?" Jackie asked as Kelso snapped her out of her daze.
He walked over to her and gave her a hug. Jackie was at such a bad place right now she didn't care if Kelso was the one that comforted her. She tightly squeezed back and he let her go.
"Jackie I came over here to tell you something and it's really important.... See when I ran off to California I was really confused about us cos you wanted to marry me and I so wasn't ready."
"Michael, just shut up I don't care about the beach trash you did it with!"
"No, listen Jackie I did a lot of thinking and I realised now I think I am ready for marriage."
Jackie took a few steps back from Michael and tried to regain her composure she was completely floored by that statement. The old Jackie would have ran into his arms then and there but over the summer she grew up.
"You can't just say something like that not after leaving me with no word of warning for three months." Jackie shouted.
"I know that now O.K. I made a mistake."
"Well what did you hope I would do jump into your arms and have everything be o.k...NO." Jackie reasoned.
"Well yeah." He said dumbly.
"Look Michael hasn't even crossed your mind that I may have been involved with someone else when you ditched me for the summer?" She asked.
Michael moved closer to her. "No, because we are meant to be together forever."
"Oh save it Michael because if you really believed that you wouldn't have left me. I needed you and you left."
"I Know Jackie and I'm sorry I wish I could take it back but I can't. All I know is...is that I do love you and I will do anything so you know that."
"Michael do you really want to marry me cos you do know you can't be with anyone else." She couldn't believe what was happening. Last summer she wanted Michael but he didn't want her and now she wanted Steven and Michael now wanted her, the whole situation baffled her. But the one thing she does know is that she still loves Steven.
"Yeah, I've grown up and I want you." He said it with such honesty that it even surprised Jackie.
She walked to Michael and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Look I'm unsure about a lot of things at the moment, so are you willing to wait for me."
Michael had a big grin on his face and nodded. "Jackie for you I'd wait forever."
"Maybe you will wait that long" She said as he left.
What the hell am I doing, I gave Michael hope. I should hate him. But right now I hate Steven.
She walked to her closet and decided to get dressed.
Hyde was in the basement with Donna and Eric. They were huddled on the couch making googly eyes at one another. Hyde was trying very hard to remain Zen but every few minutes he saw Donna look at him out the corner of his eye. Eric tried to remain neutral between the two but ultimately sided with Donna, as she would essentially please his fun stuff.
Hyde instead watched the T.V but even that didn't help. It wasn't Donna that was making him feel bad it was his conscience. He really felt like shit after what he did to Jackie. All he wanted now more than anything was to be with Jackie.
At that moment Kelso burst through the basement door with the goofiest smile on his face.
Hyde looked up from beneath his sunglasses and addressed Kelso.
"What the hell are you smiling about?" The anger was heavy in his voice.
"Well, I just came back from Jackie's and I asked her to take me back and she said maybe."
Both Donna and Eric looked over at Hyde and then at Kelso to make sure what they heard was correct. Hyde still looked like his old self but inside Donna knew his heart was breaking.
"Kelso, are you sure cos Jackie hates you man." Eric said.
"Nah uh, she said that I'd have to wait for her but man I just know it will be doing it in no time." Kelso said this as he walked to the freezer to grab a Popsicle.
That earned a reaction out of Hyde.
"God man is that all you think of her as someone to Fuck!!!" Hyde spat out it talk all his restraint to not punch Kelso in the eye.
"Calm down, I just meant we'd be doing that once she agrees to marry me." He sat in the lawn chair opposite Hyde.
"Anyway man why do you care?"
Hyde just stared at Kelso but was saved by Donna when she asked him how on earth he'd get Jackie to marry him.
"Well I gave her some speech about how we're meant to be together and then she kissed me."
Hyde was about to lunge at Kelso when Eric got up and took him upstairs.
"What the hell is wrong with Hyde today, first Jackie has PMS and now Hyde too, I really need to stay away from them two or I'll catch it next!"
Donna couldn't say anything to that but decided to give Kelso some advice.
"Look Kelso don't you think it's odd that both Jackie and Hyde are upset, at the same time."
Kelso still had a blank look on his face. Donna continued.
"They are both upset...O.K after the party which has lasted for a week. Do you understand?"
"Yeah" Donna sighed in relief.
"The both have PMS, DUH! Donna don't you listen."
And with that Kelso walked out of the basement leaving a very stunned Donna.
