She arrived exactly on time; she was neither late nor early. She knocked on the door but no one answered. She waited a couple of minutes before knocking again. She looked around the house but couldn't tell if anyone was there. When she looked inside the window, she didn't see anything. She rolled her eyes and let out a sigh; this was just typical of him. He always took everything as a joke; or he always tried to make her mad; and the worst part was it always worked.
He was always capable of pissing her off to no end. It didn't matter how he did; it just always seemed to work. He used to always make fun of her and Kelso; that is why she hated him when they were younger. He used to throw sand in her hair for no reason at all; other than to piss her off.
Jackie began to grow more impatient; she banged on the door so hard that someone finally heard her and opened the door. Hyde stared at Jackie for a long minute. Her hair was messy and she looked cold ,tired, and angry; well at least he still knew how to piss her off.
"Where have you been?" Jackie asked.
"Sleeping and you?" He asked back.
"I've been standing out here in the snow waiting for you lazy ass to get up. Jackie said.
"So how's the weather out there?" He asked.
"Where's Marissa?" Jackie asked ignoring his question.
"Upstairs." He replied.
"Doing what?" Jackie said.
"I don't know; you'll have to go up there and find out for yourself." Hyde said.
"Fine I will; move out of my way." She demanded.
"Sure no problem; he said.
He watched Jackie climb the stairs; he tried to hold in his laughter but couldn't. Jackie turned around and he stopped. She paused for a second until he innocently asked her what. She continued up the stairs and Hyde went into the living room. He sat on the couch and waited. In three seconds, he heard the loudest scream ever. Jackie came rushing down the stairs; her eyes were raging with anger and all he could do was laugh at her.
"What the hell is she doing sleeping at one in the afternoon?" She asked.
"We had a long night." He said.
"Doing what?" He asked.
"Oh we were bar hopping last night; well, actually we just went to check out Foreman's new bar and grill; you should see it..."
"You took her to a bar and grill." She said.
"Yes, didn't you just here what I said. Man Jackie, I think you need to get you ears checked." Hyde said.
"So what did you do all week?" Jackie asked.
"Nothing, why?" Hyde asked.
"Really, you did nothing at all." Jackie said.
"Nope nothing at all." He repeated.
"LIAR, Marissa's school called me today. They said that you dropped her from the school sometime this week." Jackie said.
"Oh that; I thought you were talking about what we did together not what I did on my own." Hyde said.
"You know exactly what I meant. Why did you go behind my back and do that? Why can't you just respect my decision regarding my daughter?" She asked.
"Your daughter; Jackie she's my daughter too. You seem to have forgotten that." Hyde said.
"Why don't you interfere in your son's life and stay out of mine and Marissa's life." Jackie said.
"He's not my son; Valerie had an affair with someone else." He said.
Jackie fell silent for a moment. She then went back to the top of the stairs and called for Marissa; but there was no answer. She waited a few seconds impatiently and then tried again but no answer came again. She began to march up the stairs; first Hyde couldn't open the door and now Marissa can't manage to come down the stairs when she is called. When Jackie got to Marissa's room she looked inside and screamed.
Hyde sat on the couch thinking how angry he was at her; she had tried to purposely keep him out of his own daughter's life. Well, not anymore; he didn't have son anymore but he did have a daughter who loved and needed him. He got up and decided to go tell Jackie off but he heard her scream. He rolled his eyes up in the air; she probably was just screaming because Marissa was still in bed. He walked up the stairs casually but then he heard her scream once more; this time she was calling for him to come quickly.
He found Jackie kneeling by Marissa's bed covered in blood screaming and crying. He pushed her out of the way but to his surprise, Marissa was not in the bed. He looked around but found that there were no trails of blood except the one leading to her window.
"Jackie, did you go anywhere near the window?" Hyde asked her.
"No I didn't; I swear I didn't where is she; tell me where she is. Is this some sick joke you're playing on me?" She asked.
"Jackie, this isn't a joke; that blood is real and it's Marissa's. Go call 911; now." He demanded.
Jackie was still kneeling; she couldn't move, so Hyde scooted her up and helped her down the stairs to the phone. He went outside his house and looked around. He looked up at her window and noticed the trail of blood leading all the way down her window onto the snow. How could this have happened? Who could have gotten into the house? He was only downstairs with Jackie arguing when...that's what happened. If he wasn't so busy trying to piss Jackie off, he would have heard Marissa screaming for help. He saw that the trail of blood ended right where he was standing. This made no sense to him; it was as if she didn't even move from this spot.
He then felt his stomach begin to turn; he got down on the ground and began to dig through the bloody snow. He could feel something but just when he was about to uncover what it was, he blacked out.
Jackie was inside on the phone talking when she heard a loud noise outside. She dropped the phone; leaving the 911 operator screaming over the phone for her to come back. She went over to the sliding door and drew the shades; she saw Hyde unconscious covered in blood and she saw something underneath him. She tried to make it out when she realized something was terribly wrong; someone attacked had her family. She raced back to the phone and picked it up.
"Miss, what's your address?" The operator asked.
"It's 24 Elizabeth Lane..."
"Miss...Miss...Miss are you there?" The operator asked.
The operator heard the phone hang up and complete silence fell afterwards.
Eric Foreman had slept through the night; his grand opening for his restaurant had been the night before. Hyde and Marissa had showed up; Marissa had enjoyed seeing the inside of new restaurant. Jackie was coming to pick her up the next morning so that night was to be Hyde's last night with her. They spent the whole night at the restaurant watching Eric work; occasionally, Marissa would try to trip him. He made through the night; until the last hour when Marissa had finally been able to trip him. It wasn't as if she did it on her own; Hyde had helped her. He had her hide under one of the tables and casually slip her foot out just as he was walking by. Hyde said that he had to teach the kid how to probably trip someone. Eric looked at him shuck his head and flipped him off.
Eric went into the hallway and grabbed the morning paper. He flipped it open and began to read it when the phone rang. He got and picked it up.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Mr. Foreman?" The man over the phone asked him.
"Yes, this is him." He said.
"This is officer Peters. There's been an accident at Mr. Hyde's house." Peters said.
"What kind of accident?" Eric asked worriedly.
"Mr. Foreman, we need you to get down to the Point Place Hospital immediately; take the elevator up to the ICU floor." The officer said and then hung up.
Eric grabbed his keys and ran out the door without locking the place up.
They each laid in the hospital hanging on for life; Hyde wasn't as bad a Jackie but he was still unconscious. Marissa was nowhere to be found; underneath Hyde, lay her rag doll covered in blood. Jackie was in an induced coma; she had lost too much blood. Eric arrived at the hospital and made his way all the way up to the ICU unit. He looked into the first room he saw.
"Oh my God!" He cried out.
