Ain't No Sunshine

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the 'That 70's Show' characters.

Summary: See 'Where Is Your Heart?'

Author's Note: To answer some ones question of how I could do that to Jackie, well very easily. I had to have some reason for her to stay in Point Place. Don't worry I know what I'm doing. Jackie and Hyde will prevail. The song of this chapter is 'Ain't No Sunshine' by Al Green.

-Water Tower-

"So how was Jackie?" Eric asked Donna as they sat on the ledge of the water tower.

"Well, when I left she was asleep on my couch. It took me over an hour to convince her to sleep at my house. How's Hyde?"

"Well, he locked himself in his room and keeps playing 'Ain't No Sunshine'. I think it's really bad this time."

"Yeah, usually he just listens to country."

-Pinciotti House-

After Donna had left Jackie, Jackie had gone out and climbed up on the roof of the garage. She didn't go up there often but when she lived there, Hyde had given her a whole picnic on the roof. Jackie brought her knees up to her chest and thought about that day.

"Steven, where are you taking me?" Jackie asked as she followed her boyfriend into the Pinciotti's backyard.

"Right here." Jackie looked around and saw a ladder leaning up the back of the garage. "Wait here." With that Hyde ran up the ladder and went out of her sight. "Alright, come on up."

Jackie climbed up the ladder to see a picnic blanket and a picnic basket. "Steven… what?" Jackie was speechless. In all her years of knowing Hyde, he had never done anything like this before.

"Here, sit." Hyde said sitting himself. He pulled the basket over to himself and pulled out a sandwich and handed it to her. "I made your favorite." He said almost bashfully.

"Peanut butter and Honey?" Hyde nodded.

Hyde had never really done anything that was romantic often. But when he did it was more then special. It was just the little things that proved to Jackie that Hyde loved her. But even the sweetest things can end in a matter of seconds.

-Hyde's Room-

He didn't know how long he had been sitting there. It seemed as if he had been there for days but it had only been hours. The thing that kept him held up in his dingy room was Al Green and Jackie's blanket. It was a pink fuzzy blanket that she had left a couple months ago and just never took it home. He sat in his chair with the blanket wrapped around his shoulders breathing in her scent. She smelled of lavender and weed. His weed. His girl.

He looked over at his alarm clock and saw that it was 2:30. 'Jackie should be in Chicago by now.' He thought to himself. Hyde couldn't believe how miserable he was. Him and Jackie had broken up before, but for some reason this one seemed real. Like this one was going to last. He felt completely empty.

"Steven, sweetie?" Kitty said knocking on the door. "Can you let me in?"

Hyde got up and unlocked the door and let Kitty into his room.

"I warmed up your lunch for you." Kitty said motioning to the plate of a sandwich and chips.

"Thanks Mrs. Foreman." Hyde took the plate and sat down on his bed. "I'm not really all that hungry, though." He said picking at the chips.

"I know, honey, but you need to eat something. I made you a peanut butter and honey sandwich."

"Oh." Hyde stared at the sandwich as if it would bite him.

"I thought you liked those?" Kitty said sitting next to Hyde on the bed.

"I do, it's just, it's Jackie's favorite."

"Oh." Kitty stared at the sandwich too. "Well, I'll just make you something else." Kitty took the plate and headed for the door.

"Mrs. Foreman, you don't have to make me anything." Hyde said trying to stop her.

"Well, what do you need?"

Hyde thought about what he really needed. He needed Jackie. "Is Red around?"

Kitty smiled. "I'll send him down." Hyde nodded.

It only took a couple minutes for Red to make it to Hyde's room. "So, what do you need?"

"I just wanted to ask you something." Red nodded for Hyde to continue. "Do you think I did the right thing?"

"Oh boy." Red sat on the chair across from Hyde. "Do you want me to tell you the truth or do you want me to sugar coat it?"

"When have I ever wanted anything sugar coated?" Hyde answered.

"Alright, then no. I don't think you did the right thing. Steven, Jackie was asking you to be selfish and you didn't do it. In the long run yeah maybe it'll work out for the better but right now… If it was right you wouldn't be hiding in your room asking me if it was." Red stood up and put his hand on Hyde's shoulder and squeezed gently. "You're a good man, Steven." With that Red walked out of the room and went to close the door.

"No, leave it open." Red smiled and left the door alone.

-Foreman Basement-

Donna and Eric walked into the basement looking frazzled and soaking wet. "Has anyone seen Jackie?"

Kelso and Fez looked at each other and then back at Donna. "No, we thought she was with you." Kelso said.

"So did I. I left her at my house asleep but now she's not there and it's pouring like cats and dogs." Donna answered sitting in the folding chair.

"I can't believe you lost her." Fez said shaking his head.

"Lost who?" Hyde said stepping out of his room.

"Uh… No one?" Donna said trying to cover for herself.

"Whatever." Hyde walked over and sat in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest.

"So where did you look for her?" Fez asked.

"Fez!" Donna yelled.

"What! We can't talk about how you lost Jackie if Hyde's here!" Fez yelled back.

"You lost Jackie?" Hyde said letting his emotions get the best of him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Donna apologized repeatedly.

"Why isn't she in Chicago?" Hyde asked.

"They gave the job away to someone else." Donna explained.

"So she's gonna stay?"

"I don't know." Donna said sadly. "She might have already left."

"Whatever." Hyde stood up and walked back into his room, slamming the door.
