Ok it is to the point where I guess that I am gonna just have to repeat this permanently. Look when I write I don't look for every little mistake that I make, your lucky I spell check every single one. I'm not an english teacher, so why should I have a book by my side that tells me how to write properly. I get that it bothers everyone, you guys tell me everyday. But like I said and will keep saying this is how I write and I am not willing to change my ways, I'm a stubborn irish gal- so deal with it people :) .

Disclaimer:.....yeah, I'm still going with the 'I don't own anything' story people. So don't sue me.

Chapter # 22

(that night)

" Jackie, you can barely keep your eyes open."

" but Steven, can't we at least watch tv for just a little bit?"

Placing his arms around Jackie's waist, Hyde kisses her lightly on the forehead," fine, but as soon as you start to fall asleep- we're going to bed whether you like it or not."

With a small nod of her head, Jackie lays her head back on Hyde's shoulder," ok deal, but I'm not gonna fall asleep."

" yeah, sure you won't. We'll see Burkhart."

" well look at who we have here, if it isn't Jackie and her back stabbing boyfriend who frenches his best friends ex's- Hyde?"

Flipping on the television set, Jackie flicks through the channels," hi Michael, what are you still doing here?"

Pulling off his sun glasses, Hyde clips them to the collar of his shirt," yeah, and what the hell is that suppose to mean exactly?"

" it means that you stole Jackie from me Hyde!"

" no I didn't, Kelso we've been over this already."

" oh yeah? Well it's come to my knowledge that you made the first move and kissed Jackie."

" yeah....so?"

" so? Your suppose to be my best friend Hyde!"

" I am! you weren't dating Jackie, she dumped you- you moron!"

" thats not my point, your my best friend and you broke the unspoken code! You screwed me over!"--

" no I didn't."

" yes you did, I should be with Jackie!"

" and yet your not."

" yeah, because you stole her away!"

" ok, could you guys not talk about me like I'm not gonna hear? I am right here you know."

" Jackie, this doesn't concern you."

" yes it does, your arguing over me and I don't like it."

" well I just don't see why your with Hyde and not me."

" and what is that suppose to mean Kelso?"

" exactly what I said Hyde."

" Michael, I'm with Steven because he makes me happy. And I know that I can talk to him about anything and he'll listen and comfort me if I need him to."

"....Jackie, didn't I make you happy?"

" well, yeah. When you weren't cheating on me you did."

"..... it's always words with you, isn't it? I could comfort and listen to you just as well as Hyde."

" it's not a competition though Michael, you can't just win me over. I'm not a prize you know."--

" yeah? Well if it were, I would win."

" once again Michael, I'm not a prize."

Finishing the last of a pop sickle he'd grabbed, Kelso shrugs his agreement with a huff," yeah, I know. But if you were that'd be pritty sweet."

Biting her bottom lip so as not to, Jackie smiles at Kelso's compliment toward her," yeah, well obviously. Any guy would be lucky to have me as their girlfriend, I am hott you know."

" Jackie, focus."

" right, yeah- no....sorry Steven. I'm just a little tired, I got caught up thats all."

Running a hand through his mop of curls, Hyde shakes his head at Jackie," ok come on, your going to bed and now."

Tugging at Hyde's arm as he leads her to his room, Jackie stomps her foot in protest," but Steven, I wanna stay up and watch tv with you!"

" Jackie, thats the seventh time you've yawned. No! Now go to bed."

" but Steven!...."

" I said no, now go Jackie!"

" fine!.....good night Steven, mmmmah. Night Michael."

" night Jacks, I'll be in- in a bit ok."--
