A/N: The music stuff, (you'll see later in the chapter) I love Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC and The Who. No real significance, but I don't want you people to think that I listen to disco and ABBA. Danhyde girl, it starts out J/K but it will end up J/H. I like J/H better.
"Ok, one more time and that is it.", Jackie told herself as she went around the Forman's block once again. Saying that she would go to the basement and talk to Michael was much easier than actually doing it. She felt like anyone who saw her could tell that she was raped, that she had lead Matt on and was a slut. She trued to push all of her negative thoughts out of her head as she saw the Forman's house come into view. "This is it, I'm going into the basement. I just have to ask for Michael. Everything will be fine."
"Hi.", Jackie said as she walked into the basement.
"Jackie.", Kelso said.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you dump Kelso's sorry ass?", Hyde asked.
"Um, yea but-"
"Then why are you here?"
"Michael called me and I wanted to talk to him. In person."
"You want to talk to me? Um, we could go into my van.", Kelso said as he put his arm around her. Jackie jumped.
"Um, no Michael that's ok. I think maybe outside is better. But not in the van."
"I guess Laurie's leftovers aren't that appealing anymore.", Hyde said.
"Come Michael, we should talk."
"So, what did you want to talk about?", Kelso asked. They were sitting on the stoop that Donna and Jackie had had many "girl talks" on.
"The message that you left me today. Did you mean what you said? About still loving me?"
"Yea, what I did was stupid, but I do still love you. I'm sorry Jackie."
All Jackie heard were the last three words, and they kept going over in her head. Jackie wanted to be with someone, and she knew that Michael would be there.
"Jackie, did you hear me? I said I'm sorry."
"Yea, yea Michael I heard you."
"So, are we back together now?"
"Um, I don't know. I need to think some things through. It's not no, but it's not really yes either. I'll think about it, and I'll meet you here at 1 tomorrow and tell you. I'll see you later Michael."
"Bye Jackie. I love you."
Jackie turned around and smiled, if only this had happened a few days ago,
Jackie didn't know what to do. She didn't really love Michael, but she was over him cheating on her, now she was dealing with rape. She wanted to be with someone, so that way if Matt ever came back she would be with someone who would protect her.
Jackie thought about this for two hours, and decided that it was taking much too long to decide, so she made a list. Donna had told her about this when she was deciding if she should risk her friendship with Eric and date him, and at the time Jackie had laughed at her. Now, things were different.
YesNoI loved himHe cheated, twice
First everythingI won't be able to sleep with him
Can protect meI'll have to tell him about Matt, and he won't understand
Will do anything I sayNot very smart
He's prettyThat stupid van
Laurie
Sit in that smelly old basement
Sit with Hyde
Doesn't listen to ABBA or disco, just Led Zeppelin and that
music
Jackie sat and looked at the list she had just made. Everything was telling her to leave Michael, to move on and go to someone else, that they weren't destined to be together. That she deserved a real man, a better man. But, she looked at the yes list. First everything, I loved him, controllable, pretty. Then she looked at the no list. "He cheated twice, yes, but if I'm not really in love, it won't hurt as much. And I can say that I need to be sure that he won't cheat before I sleep with him. And, I kicked Laurie's fat ass before, I could totally do it again. And I can change that music thing, I mean Robert Plant and Jimmy Page aren't great musicians, The Carpteners and Donny Osmond are. And, I would never admit it, but Hyde isn't that bad. He's a dirty orphan, but that's kind of appealing.", Jackie said to herself.
"Oh my God! What did just say? What did that guy do to me?"
After a while, Jackie made her decision: She would get back together with Kelso.
