Disclaimer: can't sue this gal, I don't own not one thing. Although I'd love to own a piece of Hyde.

Author's Note: this is my all ORIGINAL VERSION of how J/H got together. It's an alternate universe fic, so bare with me. This is my first time putting this kind of story up, now it may start off leaning towards J/E but there's a reason for that and it will become J/H if your all patient and review. If you like, let me know in your reviews. I live for them you guys, and thanks for the reviews on my last fic. You all rock.

Chapter #3

" you ok now Jacks?" asks Hyde in a concerned tone.

" yeah, but your friends are weird...especially Michael"

glancing over at Jackie, Hyde just laughs," Kelso's a moron, Fez is strange and Eric's pretty cool."

zipping up her coat, Jackie stares out the window," which one was Eric?"

" the skinny know-it-all." informs Hyde with a smirk.

" oooh." nods Jackie in thought.

Parking his car, Hyde scoots next to Jackie," i come here to think a lot."

settling in Hyde's arms, Jackie lays against him," i wish i had a place of my own to think."

" this could always be our place Jacks." suggests Hyde, pulling her close.

" yeah? It really could?" questions Jackie in a hopeful voice.

Smiling at the thought, Hyde nods in response," sure, why not?" ...

(later that week)

" Jackie?" ponders Eric, walking downstairs.

" hey Eric" greets Jackie, stretching in her spot.

Sitting down beside Jackie, Eric flicks on the television," what are you doing down here?"

flipping through her magazine, Jackie looks over at Eric," I'm waiting for Steven"

" oh...well Hyde's at work." points out Eric, figuring she didn't know.

" yeah, i know." confides Jackie, reading an article in her magazine.

Grabbing himself a pop sickle, Eric tosses Jackie one," you two sure hang out a lot, are you dating?"

with a mere shake of her head, Jackie continues reading her magazine," nope, we're just friends."

" oh...did you want to catch a movie?" questions Eric, waiting for an answer.

" yeah, thats cool." says Jackie with a smile.

Jumping up from his seat, Eric grabs Jackie's hand," cool, come on Jackie" ...

" so, did you have fun?"inquires Eric that evening.

" of course, this was great." gushes Jackie happily.

Smirking happily at this, Eric finishes his soda," would it be cool if we did this again?"

picking at her fries, Jackie chuckles at this," sounds like a plan."

" or a date?" offers Eric with a nervous grin.

" thats even better." says Jackie with a laugh.

Kicking at the ground sheepishly, Eric asks," so, could i give you a kiss Jackie?"

biting at her bottom lip, Jackie smiles shyly," well, i wouldn't object if your asking."

" well, thats always good to know." laughs Eric in relief.

" i guess that it would be, huh?" acknowledges Jackie with a blush.

Wrapping his arms around Jackie, Eric leans down to kiss her," your pretty...but whats with the bruises and black eye?" ...

( Hyde spots them lip lock)

" man, what the hell?" growls Hyde in an angry voice. ...

leaning back against the vista cruiser, Jackie plays with the hem of Eric's shirt," my ex."

" he hit you?" ponders Eric, waiting for a response.

" yeah, but I'm fine now. Steven looks after me." confides Jackie with a sigh.

Pecking Jackie on the lips, Eric touches her cheek," i could keep you company sometimes." offers Eric with a smile.

Placing Eric's arms around her snuggly, Jackie leads him inside the basement," that would be cool." ...

" Jackie?" mutters Hyde in a gruff tone.

" hey Steven" greets Jackie with a chirp in her voice.

Sitting up in his seat, Hyde frowns when he notices Eric," whats going on?"

collapsing down on the couch, Jackie closes her eyes," we went to the movies."

" on a date?" questions Hyde, hiding his jealousy.

" sort of/yeah." Jackie and Eric both answer at the same time.

Standing up from his chair, Hyde grabs his coat," whatever."

raising an eye brow, Jackie looks up at Hyde," wait, Steven where are you going?"

" out." Hyde says in a growl.

" I'll see you Eric" says Jackie, chasing after Hyde ...

" mind if i come?" asks Jackie, climbing in the Camino

" whatever." mutters Hyde in a Zen tone.

Climbing in next to Hyde, Jackie scoot closer to him," i missed you today."

pulling out of the driveway, Hyde glances over at Jackie," yeah, it sure seems like it."

whats that supposed to mean?" asks Jackie in confusion.

" i think you know." informs Hyde, not looking at her.

Stretching out in her spot, Jackie rubs her eyes," your mad i went out with Eric?"

grumbling in response, Hyde stares out the window," whatever."

" Steven, he's nice. I like him." confesses Jackie with a huff.

" so date him then." dead pans Hyde with a frown.

Sighing to herself, Jackie looks over at Hyde," I'm not looking to date him, just for company."

parking in Jackie's driveway, Hyde turns of his car," I'm not company enough?"

" for when your at work." confides Jackie letting out a sigh.

" whatever." grumbles Hyde, climbing out of the el Camino ...

" Steven?" whispers Jackie sadly.

" what?" asks Hyde in a sleepy voice.

Crawling up behind Hyde, Jackie nuzzles her face into his back," I'm sorry Steven"

tensing up slightly, Hyde relaxes once more," for what?"

" going out with and kissing Eric" reports Jackie, crying silently.

" you kissed Eric!" yells Hyde in an angry voice.

Biting her bottom lip, Jackie mentally kicks herself," i didn't mention that earlier...damn!"

turning to face Jackie, Hyde frowns at her," no, you must have forgot."

" Steven, I'm sorry ok." pleads Jackie in a hurt tone.

" so, what are you like dating Eric now?" questions Hyde, dreading the answer.

With a quick shake of her head, Jackie snuggles against Hyde," no, i told you earlier.

Laughing at this, Hyde turns his back to Jackie," thats why you kissed him?"

" actually he kissed me. I just said yes." admits Jackie in a sullen voice.

" oh, because thats MUCH better." jokes Hyde sarcastically.

Lowering her head sadly, Jackie buries her face in Hyde's back and cries," I'm sorry."

pulling Jackie closer, Hyde rubs her back," come on Jacks, don't cry.

" do you hate me Steven?" asks Jackie with a sob.

" no, of course not." assures Hyde, holding her tight.

Nudging her face into Hyde's neck, Jackie sobs quietly," so we're ok now then?"

rubbing Jackie's back, Hyde kisses her forehead," yeah, just stop kissing my friends."

" ok, deal Steven" smiles Jackie with a hug.

" cool, now come on. Go to sleep Jacks." whispers Hyde softly.
