Chapter #4

" You ok now Jackie?" asks Randy, glancing over at Jackie with concern.

" No…I'm just going to go to sleep Randy." Says Jackie in a heap, swiping at her eyes.

Skipping rocks across the lake, Randy glances over at Jackie," you need a little company for a while?"

Smiling over at Randy, Jackie peck him on the cheek," no, I'm cool. Thanks for this though."

" Anything for you Jackie." Informs Randy with a smile. …

(That evening)

" Hey, Jacks are you up?" ponders Hyde quietly. …(Two minutes pass)… " I guess not."

Pulling off his shirt, Hyde climbs in the sleeping bag next to Jackie. Watching as she sleeps, he places his arms around her. Touching her face, he kisses her on the forehead. Nudging his cheek against Jackie's, Hyde closes his eyes," night Jackie."

" Steven?" mumbling in her sleep, Jackie stretches in her spot.

" Jackie? I thought that you were sleeping?" questions Hyde, raising an eyebrow.

Rubbing at her at her eyes tiredly, Jackie lets out a yawn," I was, until you woke me up."

Brushing a piece of hair from her face, Hyde whispers in Jackie's ear," sorry I woke you."

" Whatever." Mutters Jackie, ignoring the sudden chill running up her spine.

" Look, Jacks…about earlier…it just freaked me out is all." Admits Hyde, sighing to himself.

Shoving at Hyde, Jackie glares up at him with a scowl," gee, thanks. You're a jerk, I can't believe that I like you!"

Staring at Jackie in shock, Hyde's jaw drops," you like me?"

"…No I don't." denies Jackie, turning away from Hyde.

" You just said that you did." Point out Hyde, leaning over Jackie.

Mentally kicking herself, Jackie closes her eyes," whatever."

Shaking Jackie gently, Hyde rests his chin on her shoulder," do you really?"

" What do you think?" retorts Jackie in a flat tone.

" Ok…well since when?" questions Hyde, curious now.

Rolling her eyes, Jackie looks up at Hyde finally," since always, I only dated Michael to be around you. But when I knew that I'd never be an option for you, I convinced myself that I loved him."

Sighing to himself, Hyde shifts in his seat," so, you never hated me?"

" No, but I knew that you hated me. So I pretended to." Confesses Jackie, looking Hyde in the eyes.

" Jackie, I don't really…" starts Hyde, interrupted when Jackie puts a finger to his lips.

Placing her hand completely over Hyde's mouth, Jackie just smiles sadly," its cool, I get it Steven. I just want to go to sleep."

Nodding in response, Hyde kisses Jackie sweetly," ok, night Jacks."

" Steven…" gasps Jackie, her mouth open with shock.

" shh, go to sleep Jackie. We'll talk in the morning, I promise." Comforts Hyde, holding Jackie close. …

(The next morning)

" So, what was up with Jackie?" ponders Randy, picking at his breakfast.

" What are you talking about?" grumbles Hyde, taking a swig of his beer.

Pouring himself a drink, Randy munches on a piece of beacon," well, she seemed upset last night."

Grumbling in response, Hyde fixes his plate," she's fine now."

" So, was I right then?" questions Charlie with a raised eyebrow.

" About?" asks Hyde, knowing what Charlie's hinting at.

Grabbing himself a beer, Charlie tosses Hyde another," you know, about Jackie liking you and all. So, does she?"

Laughing at the thought, Randy chokes on his coffee," Jackie likes Hyde? Now that is funny."

" Actually, yeah she does." Pipes in Hyde with a frown.

" See? I knew that she did. So are you going to ask her out?" ponders Charlie, sitting up in his seat.

Stumbling out of the tent, Jackie rubs at her eyes," are we going to ask who out?"

Standing up at the sight of Jackie, Hyde quickly interrupts," no one."

" Oh, I don't believe that Steven." Informs Jackie, sitting next to Hyde.

" Jackie…breakfast?"

Grinning in response, Jackie's eyes light up instantly," you made my favorite chocolate chip pan cakes! …Wait, where did you get chocolate chips?"

Handing Jackie her plate, Hyde sits next to her once more," I stole them from the Forman's."

" I haven't had these in forever." Gushes Jackie happily.

" I thought they might cheer you up." Says Hyde with a smile.

Smirking in response, Jackie eats her pancakes," this is great, I haven't even thought about Michael all weekend. Well, except for last night when I found this photo. …Oh which reminds me."

Watching as Jackie throw something in the fire, Hyde glances over at her," was that the photo?"

" Yeah, and when I get home I'm burning my Michael box too." Reports Jackie before finishing her plate.

" You have a Kelso box?" questions Hyde, glancing over at Jackie.

With a simple nod, Jackie finishes her drink as well," yeah, it has everything he ever gave me in it…I'm keeping fluffy-kin's though."

Raising a curious eye brow, after a minute Randy asks," who is fluffy-kin's?"

" Its just this stuffed unicorn that Michael gave me, I sleep with it every night." Informs Jackie, sitting up in her spot.

" Burn it and I'll buy you another unicorn Jackie." Offers Hyde, hiding his jealousy.

Biting at her bottom lip in thought, Jackie finally sighs," deal."

Finishing the last of his coffee, Hyde merely smirks," cool."

" You swear you'll get me a new one?" asks Jackie after a moments thought.

" I swear Jacks, you can even pick it out." Confirms Hyde with a smile.

Settling between hides legs, Jackie leans back against him," could I pick out two?"

Placing his arms around Jackie, Hyde frowns at this," don't push it Jackie."

" …Fine." Agrees Jackie with a nod.

" Look, Jacks…you think that we can talk? …ALONE." Announces Hyde, looking over at Charlie.

Jumping up from his seat, Charlie claps his hands," we were just leaving."

Picking at the last of his plate, Randy sits up right," we were?"

" Yes, you were." Warns Hyde with a menacing look.

" Ok, ok. Damn." Grumbles Randy, standing up from his seat. … --
