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 #7

" hey Eric" greets Jackie, poking her head in the basement door.

" Hyde's not here." mutters Eric, staring at the television.

Collapsing onto the couch, Jackie merely nods," i know."

glancing over at Jackie, Eric raises an eye brow," so, how come your staying?"

" i thought that we could hang out." suggests Jackie, kicking her feet up.

" why?" asks Eric before glancing over at Jackie

With a shrug of her shoulders, Jackie lets out a sigh," i could always leave."

jumping up from his seat, Eric steps in front of Jackie," no, stay."

" i can?" inquires Jackie curiously.

" i want you to Jackie" assures Eric with a smile.

Settling back in her seat, Jackie picks up a magazine," ok, cool."

flicking through the television channels, Eric shifts in his seat," cool."

" do you hate me?" asks Jackie out of the blue.

" do i what?" ponders Eric, confused by her out burst.

Turning to face Eric, Jackie bites at her bottom lip," do you hate me?"

with a shake of his head, Eric flicks off the television," no, should i?"

" no, but i thought that you did." announces Jackie with a long huff.

" because your with Hyde and not me?" questions Eric, his attention on Jackie now.

Giving a small nod, Jackie looks at the ground with a tear in her eyes," well...yeah."

pulling Jackie in for a hug, Eric pats her back," thats crazy talk and you know it Jackie"

" is it?" counters Jackie with raised eye brows.

" how could i hate you?" asks Eric with a comforting smile.

Biting at her bottom lip once more, Jackie nods her agreement," i guess it is crazy talk, hu."

sitting up in his seat, Eric looks over at Jackie," can i ask you something though?"

" whats thats?" questions Jackie, grabbing herself a soda.

" how come you picked Hyde over me?" ponders Eric, waiting for an answer quietly.

Laying back in her spot, Jackie lets out a sigh," i don't know, Steven just knows what to say to make me laugh and smile."

glancing over at Jackie sadly, Eric merely nods," i see, and you liked that?"

" well, yeah." informs Jackie, closing her eyes.

" you think i could ever be that guy Jackie?" asks Eric in a gruff voice.

" Eric.." gasps Jackie, her eyes flying open.

" yeah, I'm sorry Jackie Forget i even asked." mutters Eric, focusing on the blank television screen. ...

" hey Eric, has Jackie stopped by?" questions Hyde a few hours later.

" yeah, check the couch." mumbles Eric, switching through the channels.

Noticing Jackie's sleeping form, Hyde sits beside her," how long has she been out?"

glancing over at Jackie, Eric just shrugs," hour or two maybe."

" no use waking her up then." grumbles Hyde with a heavy sigh.

" what are you doing?" asks Eric, sitting up in his seat.

Picking Jackie up, Hyde cradles her against him," putting her in my room."

watching as Hyde walks to his room, Eric turns off the television," whatever."

" where are you going?" questions Hyde as he reappears.

" see if Donna wants to go to the Hub." mutters Eric, pulling on his coat.

Grabbing himself a beer, Hyde takes a long swig," she's out with fez."

searching for his car keys, Eric zips up his coat," I'll go with Kelso."

" he's out on a date." points out Hyde non nonchalantly.

" I'll go by myself." grumbles Eric, slowly losing his patients.

Settling in his chair, Hyde changes the channel," yeah, well have fun.

Heading toward the basement door, Eric looks back at Hyde," if you hurt Jackie, I'll kick your ass." ...

" are we staying here tonight?" asks Jackie with a huff.

" yeah, why?" questions Hyde, pulling off his shirt.

Stretching in her spot, Jackie yawns tiredly," your cot hurts my back."

rubbing Jackie's back lightly, Hyde kisses her neck," I'll put the sleeping bag down on it."

" your beards tickling me. You should shave it." suggests Jackie holding back a chuckle.

" no way, i just grew it." protests Hyde with a frown.

Curling up with Hyde, Jackie closes her eyes," could you at least trim it?"

sighing to himself, Hyde pecks Jackie on the forehead," we'll talk about it."

" good, now about those side burns." starts Jackie with a smile.

" ok, lets not push it." mumbles Hyde, pulling Jackie close.

Sitting up against Hyde, Jackie sticks her lip out in a pout," but Steven..pleassssse?"

rolling his eyes at Jackie, Hyde just laughs," that only works once in a while. Its not going to happen Jacks."

" your no fun Steven" pouts Jackie with a sad look.

" Jackie?" inquires Hyde with a kiss.

" yeah?" asks Jackie in a hopeful tone.

" shut your pie hole." dead pans Hyde, receiving a pinch from Jackie ... --

ok, well that was the last chapter for this story. I'm glad you've all liked this story, it was my first Jackie/Eric mixed with Jackie/Hyde pairing. And i wasn't sure many of you would buy into it. But you did, which is why i decided to write another with those pairings. Expect it up if not this week, then first thing next week. Thanks for the kick ass reviews and look out for my newest story.
