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 #3

" thanks for the movie and everything." smiles Jackie, as they stand in the Foreman's dark driveway.

" whatever." answers Hyde in a Zen tone.

Reaching to touch Hyde's face, Jackie pecks his lips," i mean it, i know this wasn't a date. But i still had fun Steven ...i better head in."

grabbing Jackie's wrist, Hyde can feel her knees buckle as he kisses her," well, maybe we could do something sometime." ...

" Jackie! There you are, what the hell! You had us all worried...new boyfriend?" ponders dona when she notices Hyde

" where the hell have you been! You had kitty worried sick, your grounded! Go to your...basement!" yells Red as he walks out of the house.

Looking up at Hyde, Jackie glances back at Red," can i at least say good bye?"

watching as this strange guy loops an arm around Jackie, Eric tenses in his spot," no way! You heard him, dad threaten her with the old foot in the ass."

" shut it dumb ass!" warns Red with a look of anger.

" yeah Eric, shut it!" mocks Jackie, sticking her tongue out.

Folding his arms across his chest, Red stares at Jackie," Jackie"

with a small nod of her head, Jackie looks at the ground," yeah, i know; shut it."

" its cool Jackie, I'll stop by in a day or two. We'll talk then." confides Hyde, kissing Jackie's forehead.

" ok, I'll see you Steven Thanks for coming to my rescue again last night." says Jackie before letting go of Hyde's hand. ...

" what did you mean by 'thanks for coming to my rescue'?" questions dona later that same day.

" one of the football players got handsy, so Steven clocked him." informs Jackie with a dream like smile.

Looking up at this, Eric frowns to himself," i told you not to go to that party."

sitting up in her seat, Jackie shakes her head," no, it was great. Steven's perfect."

" whats so perfect about him?" asks dona, leaning forward in her seat.

" i felt something with him, dona the sparks were there!" gushes Jackie in an excited tone.

Raising a very confused eye brow, Eric glances over at Jackie," what sparks?"

laying back on the couch, Jackie closes her eyes," the ones i felt with Steven today."

" so, what? Are you two like a thing now?" questions dona, stealing a look at Eric for a reaction.

" i want to be." chuckles Jackie with a grin.

Finishing the last of his beer, Eric grabs another," what is so special about this guy? What separates him from Jake or Greg or all the other guys you dated and dumped...owe! What dona? Its just a question, damn."

with a small shrug, Jackie just smiles," i don't know."

" well i don't like him." reports Eric in a dismissive voice.

" you never like any guy i meet Eric" jokes Jackie with a playful smirk.

Shifting in his seat, Eric looks over at Jackie," and yet you continue to go out on dates."

rolling her eyes, Jackie laughs at this," how else am i going to meet Mr Right?"

" do you think that this guy is him?" ponders Eric, sitting on the edge of his seat.

" i don't know, maybe." confides Jackie before closing her eyes. ...

" if she is seeing another guy, this is not good." confirms Eric, pacing back and forth.

" why don't you just tell Jackie that you like her?" points out dona with a sigh.

Continuing his rant, Eric lets out a heavy huff," i can't."

raising a curios eye brow, dona ponders aloud," why not?"

" have you seen the guys that she goes for?" reminds Eric with a frown.

" yeah, so?" inquires dona, not getting his point.

Stopping in mid pace, Eric mutters to himself," so? She does not want a guy like me."

with a shake of her head, dona picks up an abandoned magazine," you will never know unless you make your move you dumb ass!"

" ok, first of all you sound like Red. And second, I'll just make an idiot of myself." confirms Eric, collapsing on the couch.

" so? Take a risk and go for it, you'll regret it if you don't." advices dona in a concerned tone. ...

( a couple weeks later)

" hey Jackie" greets Eric, coming downstairs.

" Eric? What are you still doing up?" asks Jackie in alarm.

Sitting down on the couch, Eric shrugs his shoulders," thought that you might need company."

stretching out in her spot, Jackie yawns tiredly," actually, i was going to head to bed."

" well, i could stay down here with you." offers Eric with a smile.

" thanks, but I'll be fine Eric" assures Jackie, pretending to head toward her room.

Poking his head through the basement door, Hyde walks in," hey jacks, this is the best beer i cou...whats he doing downstairs?"

looking up to find Hyde, Eric tenses instantly," more like why are you down here?"

" we were just going to watch a movie and then he was leaving." confides Jackie in a hurry.

" do my parents know that he's here?" questions Eric with a frown.

Biting at her bottom lip, Jackie glances at the ground," no."

folding his arms across his chest, Eric stares at Jackie," Jackie, what the hell?"

" come on Eric, i would never rat on you. And you know it." reminds Jackie, plead in her eyes.

" yeah, well...damn!" grumbles Eric in defeat.

Smiling at this, Jackie gives Eric a hug," your the best."

mumbling in response, Eric just sighs," whatever, I'm going to bed." ...

" what is with him?" questions Hyde after Eric heads upstairs.

" he's just protective of me." confides Jackie, settling in Hyde's arms.

Wrapping an arm around Jackie's waist, Hyde changes the channel," yeah, right. Its so obvious that the guy likes you Jackie"

chuckling at the though, Jackie lays her head on Hyde's chest," no he doesn't, we've been friend since we were in diapers."

" are you dense?" asks Hyde with a laugh.

" no, but your delusional" mutters Jackie, pinching Hyde

Glancing over at Jackie, Hyde merely frowns," Jackie, your hot. And you must be blind if you can't see he likes you. The guy hates me."

settling down in Hyde's arms, Jackie gives a small shrug," Eric hates every guy that i date."

" who said that we were dating?" inquires Hyde in a Zen voice.

" well if we're not dating, then what are we doing?" counters Jackie staring up at Hyde

Adjusting his sunglasses, Hyde decides to play it Zen," we're just hanging out, you know?"

giving Hyde a hurt look, Jackie quickly regains composure," just hanging out? What about all those times we made out?"

" you've never made out with a friend before?" asks Hyde in a non nonchalant tone.

" no, Steven i thought that we...whatever." dismisses Jackie in a sad voice.

Sighing to himself when Jackie turns away from him, Hyde touches her shoulder," what? ...Jackie?"

shrugging out of Hyde's grasp, Jackie turns off the television," i think that maybe you should go now Steven"

" what? Why? I thought that we were going to watch television and sneak out for a bit?" inquires Hyde with confusion.

" because I'm not liking you so much right now." informs Jackie, turned away as tears stream her face.

" come on Jacks." pleads Hyde, trying to make Jackie face him.

" Steven, would you please just go and leave me alone." says Jackie in a hurt and small voice.

" but Jackie..whatever, fine." mutters Hyde, getting up and storming from the basement. ... --
