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 # 29

"....I can't believe that you really think of me as your girlfriend, that is so sweet Steven!"

" Jackie, focus will you!"

Shaking her head clear, Jackie lays back in Hyde's arms," right, no sorry. I am here and focused now."

Wrapping his arms loosely around Jackie's wait, Hyde shifts in his seat slightly," what the hell is it that you think brought us together Jackie?"

" I think that we were brought together by the greater forces of love Steven."

" thats impossible because I don't love anyone, love is just another word for pain and heart ache. Besides, whats the use when people just leave anyway."

Playing with a piece of string on Hyde's shirt, Jackie squeezes his hand lightly," well, it just so happens that I love you Steven. And I'm not gonna go anywhere."

Glancing down at Jackie, Hyde tries to pretend that he doesn't care by playing zen,"....whatever."

" Steven?"

" well what do you want me to say Jackie?"

".....nothing, just forget it ok. I'm tired, so lets just go to bed Steven?"

" look Jackie....night."

" good night Steven."--

(the next morning)

" Jackie, it's barely eight o'clock. Why are you up and dressed?"

" I have to go to school."

".....no you don't, it's saturday."

" I know and I've got a saturday detention that begins at nine."

" what the hell? Jackie, why did you get a damn detention?"

" because I skipped out on the rest of my classes yesterday after you saw Michael kiss me."

" oh, well do you need a ride to school?"

" I was gonna walk actually Steven."

" well I'll drive you in the Camino, just let me get dressed real quick."

" no, it's cool. I wanted to walk anyway Steven."

"....oh, well can I give you a kiss at least?"

" I'm in a bit of a hurry."

" I'll make it a quick one then."

" mmmmm, ok I'll see you later Steven."

" see you when you get back Jacks."--

(that afternoon at four)

" there you are, Jackie where the hell have you been? Detention let out two hours ago."

" I know, I went to the Hub and then the store."

" Letting out a small sigh of relief, Hyde gives Jackie a kiss on the cheek," oh, well why did you go to the store?"

Returning the gesture with a smile as well, Jackie stands on her tip toes to give Hyde a peck on the lips," I had to get a few things, I'm not staying long. I actually just came over to see if the Forman's had a small card board box and an old towel that I can use."

" oh, well what for? And are you coming back later on Jackie?"

".....just because I need them, thats all. Oh, and no. I'm gonna sleep home tonight Steven."

Nodding his head slowly, Hyde folds his arms across his chest," is there any particular reason why you aren't sleeping over here tonight Jackie?"

Folding up an old raggedy towel she's found, Jackie places it in a small card board box,"....no, nothing important. There's no particular reason Steven."

" Jackie."

"....hey Hyde, why was this poor kitten trapped under a crate by the basement door?"

" it wasn't trapped Donna, I put it there. I found him, I'm keeping him and he is mine."

" Jackie, we've been over this. You can't stay in that big house all by yourself, and just where the hell did you find a kitten at?"

" he was stuck in the dumpster behind the Hub you guys, I think someone closed him in when he was digging around for food. I heard the poor thing meowing when I left the Hub, so I picked him up."--
