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. I thought that since my last story got such good reviews, I'd try another j/h +j/e story. They are just so much fun to write, i love the conflict. 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 #2

"where do you think that your going?" sneers mark as he grabs jackie's arm.

whirling around on mark, hyde knocks him square in the jaw," i said lay off."

clinging to hyde's arm, jackie sighs in relief," thanks."

" you said that already." points out hyde, reaching for jackie's hand.

" well i mean it." smiles jackie, hugging hyde's arm.

shrugging his shoulders, hyde tosses jackie a beer," guys are jerks."

chuckling at this, jackie sips her beer," you sound like my friend eric."

" well your friend is right." confides hyde, finishing his own beer.

" yeah, i know... i'm jackie." introduces jackie, shaking hyde's hand.

looking over at jackie, hyde merely nods," i'm hyde."

giving hyde a confused look, jackie raises an eye brow," your name is hyde?"

" hyde is my last name, my first name is steven." enlightens hyde, shifting in his seat.

" well, i'm glad you came along steven." says jackie in a small voice.

fixing his sun glasses, hyde stands from his seat," right...well, see you."

following hyde closely, jackie grabs his arm," could i hanout around with you? my friend was right, i shouldn't have come to this party. and next time i might not be so lucky."

" and you want me to keep you company?" guesses hyde, not really needing a answer.

" you don't have to, its just...well i think my ride left. so i might have to walk home." informs jackie in a sad tone.

letting out a huff, hyde rubs his neck," ok, fine. come on."

giving hyde a greatful hug, jackie smiles up at him," thanks, i owe you big time."

" ok, ok...ok, let go of me." grumbles hyde backing away from jackie

" right, sorry." mutters jackie shyly. ...

(acouple hours later)

" so, what? am i taking you home?" questions hyde, leading jackie from the party.

" if i go home now i'll get in trouble. if my friend eric doesn't kill me, his dad Red will." confides jackie, staring down at the ground.

leading jackie to his car, hyde opens the passenger door," so, what? take you to a friends house?"

climbing in hyde's car, jackie shivers; wet from the rain," my only other friend is donna and she live next door, so no."

" what are you going to do? stay with me?" asks hyde, silently kicking himself at her smirk.

" could i?" asks jackie as her eyes light up.

groaning to himself, hyde reluctantly nods," and then tommorrow i take you home."

grinning up at hyde, jackie scoots next to him," your a nice guy, you know that steven?"

" i am not, and its hyde." grumbles hyde with a frown.

"...sorry hyde." mumbles jackie, staring out the window. ...

" did you want me to stay out here with you or something?" questions hyde, stripping down to his boxers.

" no i'm fine." says jackie with a yawn.

staring at jackie in just his t-shirt, hyde shakes his head," you sure? i could sleep on the other couch."

curling up in her spot, jackie closes her eyes," its cool, i'm fine. really steven."

" suit yourself, night jackie." mutters hyde, walking to his room.

" good night steven." calls jackie, pulling covers over herself. ...

(half hour later)

jumping at a loud crack of lightening, jackie races into hyde's room and dives into bed," holy crap that was loud!"

grunting as jackie nearly lands on him, hyde rubs his eyes," what the hell?"

" i changed my mind." informs jackie full of freight.

" afraid of thunder storms?" ponders hyde, looking over at jackie's trembling form.

frowning to herself, jackie rolls her eyes," no! ...yes."

laughing to himself, hyde makes room for jackie," you can stay in here if your that scared."

" hey, i am NOT scared." protests jackie with a huff.

" then why are you shaking?" asks hyde with a chuckle.

rubbing at her arms, jackie shudders to herself," maybe i'm cold."

wrapping jackie in his arms, hyde holds her close," is this better?"

" tones...thanks steven." whispers jackie tiredly.

" don't mention it...ever." says hyde gruffly, enjoying the fact jackie is in his arms. ...

(following morning)

" you sleep ok?" asks hyde when jackie stirs.

" better then i have in a long time." mumbles jackie, her eyes still closed.

burying his face in jackie's neck, hyde lets out a yawn," why is that?"

drawing circles on hyde's chest, jackie traces her finger along his pecks," i don't know, i just did."

" you want to grab a bite or whatever?" questions hyde, leaning over her.

" well, i am kind of hungry." confesses jackie, holding her stomach.

rolling out of bed, hyde pulls jackie up with him," come on, we'll go to the Hub." ...

" so, does this count as a date?" questions jackie poking at her breakfast.

" who said anything about a date?" asks hyde with a raised eye brow.

taking a bite of her toast, jackie shrugs her shoulders," do you have a girlfriend?"

glancing over at jackie, hyde sips his soda," no and i don't want one."

" why is that?" ponders jackie in a curious tone.

" because the ask too many questions." says hyde in a gruff voice.

catching the hint, jackie grabs her coat," oh...well, i'll see you then."

watching as jackie starts walking off, hyde goes after her," where are you going?"

" home." informs jackie before continuing to walk out of the Hub.

" i could drive you." offers hyde, following her out.

giving hyde a sad smile, jackie shakes her head," i'm fine."

following jackie down the street, hyde touches her arm," come on jackie, i'm sorry ok?"

" for what?" inquires jackie perplexed.

" i just am." says hyde with a heavy sigh.

looking up at hyde confused, jackie raised an eye brow," ok."

staring at the ground briefly, hyde clears his throat," so, what? did you want to catch a movie or whatever?"

" are you asking me on a date?" asks jackie hopefully.

" if you want a put a label on it." confirms hyde, kicking at the ground.

smiling to herself, jackie grabs hyde's hand," i knew that you liked me."

frowning at this, hyde leads jackie toward his car," what? your delusional."

" am i?" asks jackie with a wide grin.

" yes." mutters hyde in a gruff tone.

grinning in response, jackie kindly points out," who asked who out just now?"

grumbling in reply, hyde glances in jackies direction," do you want to walk home?"

" not really, its kind of far." informs jackie with a chuckle."

" then i suggest you shut your pie hole." informs hyde with a smile all the while. ... --
