Chapter 8 Who's more angry?
1989
Jackie sat in a place she hadn't been to in awhile. When ever she wanted somewhere to be alone she went to the abandon Photo Hut. She sat on the empty stair starring off into space. She vaguely noticed the car pull up next to her own. And she tried not to notice the person who got out of it. Or the same person who sat next to her.
"Jackie..." he said in a similar tone as when he told her he accidently cheated on her with the slut nurse.
"Steven..." she said sighing finally looking at him.
He was quietly playing with her hand looking anywhere but at her.
"I'm sorry." they said at the same time.
"you go." Jackie said tryingnot to concentrate on his fingers which were lazily playing with hers.
"I'm sorry for everything that happened that year...But you kinda brang it on yourself." he added looking at her.
JAckie laughed a short sour laugh.
"my falt! Steven...you know what! I am not going to get into this with you right now. I am going to concentrate on the future not your unfortunate past." Jackie looked down at her shoes.
They were silent for awhile, just how Hyde liked it, silence with Jackieit was like one of the very uncommon things that could happen to you, but strangely Hyde wasn't enjoying it as much as he ususally did.
"I'm Sorry for not telling you." Jackie said finally accepting her falts. "thats the only thing I'm sorry for, because I didn't ever try to sleep with Kelso, you were just so...insecure about him that you ran off to marry a stripper, not even waiting for an explanation, like always."
Hyde looked at her, contemplating weither to tell her off or not. "Jackie..."
"no it's fine...I guess what's done is done. You didn't love me then and you don't love me now, or else why would you run off to Vegas. I guess maybe it was my falt in a way...driving you to get married. But finally you did get married... and it wasn't to me, which by the way Hyde was really hypocritical of you."
Hyde just looked at her wondering what to say. "you know I was going to ask you to marry me."
"yeah but after thinking about it for, oh, the last 10 yrs, I realized that well...you'd only marry me to make ME happy not yourself. Maybe you'd have been happy, but everytime I brang it up you'd change the subject, or tell me off. I was the only one that wanted marriage in the relationship and ironically YOU got married. Man life is so FUNNY that way isn't it."
Hyde didn't have anything to say to that. He just let her ramble on and on. Looking at her, feeling like he was seeing her for the 1st time. This time instead of Jackie rambaling about meaningless stuff she was talking about stuff that he'd thought about over and over again.
"Jackie, that's not true. I loved you, and maybe I would have been happy, besides that's not the reason I came out here. Why didn't you tell me?"
Jackie looked at him with her eyes wide and her mouth slightly opened. "have you been listening?" she shouted. "I figure I'd ruin your life, your marriage, I'd be forcing you to get back with me again. Something you supposedly didn't want, as you put it.I figured you were over me when you married your tramp! I moved because I felt like I wasn't wanted. I didn't tell Stevie because I didn't want her to get hurt! Everyone had their different opinions on the whole thing. But I followed my heart, because that was the way to go. Now I see guarding my family and trying to saveMY child any hurt was a TOTAL mistake you would have totally taken me back if I'd told you. You'd probably done it right infront of Sam too!" Jackie shouted, the last part she said in a sarcastic voice. "I know you Steven Hyde you would have done nothing, you probably would have shrugged it off as being desperate or something and told me off! you'd have NEVER EVER would have believed me." By this time Jackie was standing up and pacing the parking lot.
Hyde just looked at her slightly alarmed. "I would not have!" he shouted once she took a breathier. But then he thought about what she said and he reconsidered.
"don't lie to me, don't like to yourself you would have and you know it! You wouldn't have left her just for me! She was your wife." tears started coming down her eyes, and she hurridly wipped them away.
"no Jackie I would have talked to you about it! butI can't because you kept a freakin CHILD from me for 10 years!" he shouted back."you could have told me after Sam left. Also what do you mean everyone gave there opinion?" Hyde asked recalling what she had said earlier.
"Yeah Hyde everyone knew! Fez!Donna! Eric! god even freakin LAURIE! everyone!"
Hyde looked down. "everyone but the most importent PERSON!" he yelled at her. "Can't you just tell me what happened?" he asked in a raspy voice.
"what do you want to know? I found out,told Donna, left Fez a note, packed, then left."
"more details."
Jackie sighed trying to calm down. "fine, I'd been feeling sick for awhile, pucking and being sore and stuff. At work there was this women talking about the same symptoms, and how she was pregnant, so I decided to buy a home pregnancy test." she paused, recalling the meomories. "well I found out I was pregnant, called Donna, left a note for Fez, headed to New York to get a job. I have connections, and left. I slept in a dirty hotel the first couple of monthes then got an apartment." Jackie laughed at the thought of the dirty hotel she stayed in.
"so how'd everyone else find out?" Hyde asked sitting down looking at her.
"well...Donna invited me back to Point Place for a week when you went away on buisness. She wanted to tell me her and Eric were engaged, again. At the time I was 7 monthes pregnant. Fez came there one day when I was having lunch with Donna, and found out. He freaked on me, because I left. He got so mad thathe went complaining to Mrs. Foremen, who told Mr. Foremen,who accidently told Bob,who told Midge in one of there "who should Donna not hang out with" conversations, who told Kelso's mom at the mall, who yelled at Kelso thinking it was his kid...she's a little late in years. Then Kelso came running back to the basement screamed it to Eric, who yelled at Donna for not telling him before now, they were overheard by Laurie, who told Fez. Who already knew, then they all came back to me, to address the problem to me...when I was trying tosleeping." Jackie said in a big rush.
Hyde laughed despite the tension. "wow."
"yeah wow, try hearing it 50 times in the same day when you were trying to sleep."
"I'm surprised they all kept it quiet." Hyde muttered, taking his sunglasses off to rub his eyes.
Jackie nodded, smiling too. "yeah I was pretty proud of them, I think they thought it was my problem to deal with. Actually Kelso was the one that really wanted me to tell you, he was going to tell you. He thought it wasn't right for you not to know. He kept comparing the situation to Brook and Him, and how he'd feel."
Hyde nodded. "I'm surprised."
Jackie nodded not knowing what else to say.
"I was pretty Pissed when you left, actually. So after you left I told Sam to leave...thinking you'd come back. But you never did so I actually left to go to Chicago, I never found you. Now I know why you were in New York City." Hyde said looking at Jackie waiting for a reaction.
Her face was blank, it only flickered for a minute when he mentioned he'd gone looking for her. But deep inside Jackie was touched, he'd went to come to Chicago to look for her to bring her home. How sweet.
"wow, I guess we both had a lot to say tonight." she muttered gazing out into the dark.
"yeah more you then me, though."
Jackie laughed. "yeah, I was always the talkitive one."
Hyde smirked at that. "So what do you do in New York?"
"I work at a news station."
"cool, cool. So Stevie's in what the 4th grade?"
Jackie laughed. "5th."
"wow I don't even know what grade my own daughter is in." hyde said smiling a litte. "well that was weird to say." he added.
Jackie giggled. "you get used to it. I guess it's partly my falt that you don;t know that. I should have told you."
"and I shouldn't have driven you away and..."
"there's too much to name." Jackie said interupting him. "just say Sorry, spelled out in an airplane, like boyfriends are suppose to."
"So I'm your Boyfriend now?" he asked with a smirk.
"if you wanna be...god I sound like I'm in high school again." Jackie laughed.
"you do, but I think we should go. When I left Donna was shoving people out of the door."
"yeah you're probabaly right...for once."
"yeah yeah, so we can talk more about this after---"
"we talk to Stevie." Jackie said finishing his sentence. "we have to talk to Stevie this will affect her too, plus I have to announce something to everyone."
"what?"
"you have to wait and see."
"Jackie..."
"nope, you have to wait."
They started heading for their seperate cars, when Hyde called out to the little pixie.
"Jacks, IAM sorry, and maybe I still harbor feelings for you." he added the last part despite himself.
Jackie smiled. "maybe I do too, but this isn't the time to talk about that."
Hyde smirked. "yeah."
They got into their cars and drove off, back to the Foremen's where everything awaited them.
