Chapter Eight: Who are you?

The difference in light left Jackie blinded for a second. Jackie saw figure standing in front of her. Her vision improved and she saw that it was Dawn who was standing in front of her. Jackie straightened up as she tried to leave the room but was blocked by Dawn.

" Hey Jackie, funny seeing you here!" Dawn giggled.

Jackie tried to push past her.

" Yeah it really is, now get out of my room you bitch!" Jackie bellowed.

Dawn moved her hand in front of her face. " Now, Now Jackie aren't you a little too young to be using words like that I mean what would your father say." She said as she patronised Jackie.

" You leave my father out of this!"

Jackie took a step further and tried to reclaim her room by pushing past Dawn to get to her Desk. Jackie noticed a bottle of her mother's perfume and picked it up. She glared at Dawn and dared her to speak. Dawn just gave a head shrug and smiled.

" What can a say, your mom has really great taste in perfume!" Dawn paused for a moment and pursed her lips together.

"….And men." She finished.

Jackie couldn't take it anymore. Having Dawn taunting her in her own room drove her crazy. She turned around calmly and looked Dawn straight in the eye and what she saw disturbed her as she could see that Dawn had no problem in destroying her life in fact she looked like she was enjoying it. She tightly gripped the perfume bottle in her right hand and drew in a breath. She felt her lungs expand and at that moment she threw the perfume bottle at Dawn. All the anger that she felt had momentarily left her body but when she saw Dawn duck and realised that she had missed all the anger she felt flooded back.

The perfume bottle broke against the wall behind Dawn and the sound crash echoed through out the house. Dawn had ducked and a piece of the bottle had narrowly passed her. She looked down as the cool liquid from the bottle seeped in between her toes. She looked up and saw an unsatisfied look on Jackie's face.

" How dare you come into my house and take my family away from me!" Jackie shouted as the strong scent of the perfume hit her nostrils.

Dawn rose from her position and bombarded Jackie with deadly looks that made Jackie's blood run cold.

" Jackie get over yourself for a minute as this has nothing to do with you!" Dawn laughed as she continued.

" Well maybe a little! See I hate you Jackie. The most popular girl at school who had every guy walking around like a puppy dog! You have the perfect family and I figure the only thing that I can do is bring that bimbo bubble head of yours back to earth!" Dawn spat out as she circled Jackie.

Even though Jackie was starting to get nervous she didn't show it, she remained calm and collected and gave as good as she got.

" You know what Dawn I think you are a pathetic! You couldn't find anything else to do so you decided to teach me a lesson! Well good job Dawn cos I just learnt what a grade A bitch you can be!" Jackie bit back.

Dawn retreated her hand and brought it up to her face as if she had been burned.

" Oww! Jackie that really did hurt. Well I did learn from the best." She smiled.

" Dawn just leave this house you are not welcome here. And if you try to see my father again there will be consequences and seeing as I am such a bitch you really not know what I mean!"

Jackie turned and began to make her way towards the door when she felt a burning pain at the back of her head. She stumbled to the door frame and slowly turned around. Her legs felt weak and she slid to the ground, her eyes started to get heavy. She looked up and saw a dark shadow towering over her. She lifted her arms to defend her self but she felt another whack to the front her head. She felt a trickle of blood flow down her before she blacked out.

Dawn stood over Jackie's limp body and discarded the baseball bat she had used. She bent down and placed her two fingers on Jackie's bloody neck and felt for a pulse. She prayed that Jackie wasn't dead as she had so much that she wanted to tell her. She smiled as she felt a pulse. She leaned back and took Jackie's arms and began to pull her out of the bedroom.

While she was pulling Jackie's body across the floor Dawn was talking to her.

" And Jackie you have no idea what those consequences are gonna be. Then again you are knocked out so you might have a clue!" She laughed to herself as she made it down the hall and descended the stairs with Jackie in tow.

The sun had began to rise on another beautiful warm Wisconsin morning. Hyde hadn't really slept except for maybe a couple of hours. He was so glad that it was morning already as it meant that he was able to talk to Jackie. He figured that he had already given her enough time to think about what had happened.

Hyde got out of bed and rummaged for a clean shirt and jeans to wear. He found his favourite Led Zeppelin T-shirt and threw it on. He quickly changed into his black jeans and raced up towards the kitchen.

He heard Mrs. Forman singing as she did every morning while making breakfast. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of orange juice that was already on the counter for him. He sat down at the table and drank his juice.

" So Steven did you sleep at all last night?" Mrs. Forman asked while she put come pancakes on a plate with a side of bacon.

" No!" Hyde replied glumly. He hated feeling like this, he never felt bad in his whole life and it took a lot of getting used to. But the feeling of guilt was settled within him. It was in his stomach, throat. When he closed his eyes all he could see was Jackie's retreating figure as she ran out of the Forman's.

" Well I am sure Jackie has had some time to think about it and I am sure she doesn't hold you responsible." Mrs. Forman said as she placed the plate of food in front of Hyde.

Hyde picked up his fork and picked at it.

Just then Eric walked into the kitchen and sat at the table.

" Hey mom throw me a couple pancakes and bacon would ya!" Eric said.

Kitty dropped her utensil and turned towards Eric.

" What did you say?" Mrs. Forman yelled.

Eric stiffened up and a look of fear replaced the cocky grin he had on when he first came in.

"Err…..!" Eric stuttered.

Hyde just looked at Eric and grinned. He was gonna get it.

" You thought you could just order me around. Just because I gave birth to you doesn't mean I am going to wait on you hand and foot for the rest of you life!" She yelled.

" Mom I just meant…" Eric started.

" I know what you meant Eric and you can get it yourself!" She said while walking out of the kitchen. Eric got up and walked towards to stove and placed a few pancakes on his plate.

" So what was all that about man!" Eric asked Hyde.

" I don't know!"

Eric walked back to the table.

" So man are you, like okay after yesterday?" Eric asked.

Hyde when into total Zen mode. " Yeah I am fine Forman but I think you should be asking Jackie if she is alright considering what she found out yesterday!"

Eric took a bite of his pancakes. " Man that wasn't your fault! So are you gonna talk to her today?"

Hyde had finished his breakfast and got up to put his plate in the sink.

" Yeah man I need to talk to her, she needs to know that I………."

" Yeah I know man." Eric finished.

Hyde knew what Eric meant and it was a relief for him to not have to say it. Even though it was true he didn't really want to have a heart to heart with Eric about it.

Kelso was a happy man. He knew Hyde would slip up sooner or later and boy was he glad. He got out of his van and approached the large door that separated the outside worlds from Jackie's. He couldn't wait to see her so he could console her and presto they'd be making out. Kelso knocked on the large door and waited a few minutes before a very tired Mr Burkhart opened the door.

" Hey Mr Burkhart is Jackie here?" Kelso asked with a big goofy grin plastered across his face.

Mr Burkhart shifted from foot to foot as he looked Kelso up an down. He knew what the scam bag did to his daughter and he sure as hell wasn't gonna let him in the house. He broke his daughters heart but little did he realise that he did the same.

There was a long pause and Kelso was starting to feel a little unwanted.

" So is Jackie here?" He asked again.

" No Michael I haven't seen her since yesterday, when she told me she was gonna be at the basement and stay at Donna's. Why isn't she at Donna's Michael?" He asked as a suspicious look crossed his face.

Kelso stared at his feet as he tried to come up with a lie. He didn't want to get Jackie in any trouble as that would defiantly hurt his chances of getting back with her. He looked back up and saw Mr Burkhart's eyes boring into him.

So Kelso decided to do what he does best act like he didn't know a thing.

" Ohhhhhhhh! Jackie is at Donna's see I did not know that!" Kelso said as he flailed his arms about to get the point across.

Mr Burkhart looked at him sceptically. " Are you sure?"

" Yeah that would make sense. Donna and Jackie are best friends."

Kelso just stood there. Mr Burkhart continued to look at him.

" So okay, I'll see ya Mr Burkhart as I gotta go…bye!" He said as he took off in another direction.

He raced away from the house towards his van. He got in and turned on the ignition and pulled out of there as fast as he could. His heart was pounding until something dawned on him.( Pun again…lol). If Jackie wasn't at Donna's and she wasn't at her house then where was she. It took him about twenty minutes but he finally made it to the Forman's. He turned off the gas and leapt out of his van and again raced towards the basement.

He pulled the back door open with a huge thud and saw Donna, Hyde, Eric and Fez sitting in the basement.

" Guys I am gonna go and find Jackie see if I can bring her round here!" Hyde said as he was about to leave but Kelso stopped him.

" Hey Kelso move out of my way!" Hyde ordered but Kelso did not move.

Donna, Eric and Fez just stared at the two boys.

" Dude Hyde wants to go an talk to Jackie so just let him passed!" Eric said while snuggling closer to Donna.

" No!" Kelso said.

" No. Kelso what do you mean no?" Donna questioned.

Kelso moved towards the couch and sat down. He needed to catch his breath. Hyde followed him in and waited as he wanted to know what Kelso was on about. All the gang waited patiently.

" No you can't see her. I already went!"

Hyde's face went red. He couldn't believe Kelso e couldn't go one day with out hitting on his girlfriend.

" What?!!" They all said in unison.

" Guys we have a problem!" Kelso said seriously.
