Chapter #7

" have you seen Jackie lately?" questions a concerned Donna

" no, but i know that she's been in the basement." confides Eric with a sigh.

Looking over at Eric in confusion, Donna then asks," how do you figure?"

searching around for a beer, Eric frowns when he finds none," because her stash is gone and so is the beer."

" she took the stash? What the hell? I wanted to start a circle up!" complains Donna with a frown.

" Donna, lets try to focus on what is important here...she took all the beer!" points out Eric in an angry tone.

Grabbing herself a soda, Donna mutters to herself," son of a bitch."...

" why don't you just stay with me again?" suggests Hyde, pecking at Jackie's neck.

" i want to, but i promised Mrs Foreman id stay home for tonight." confesses Jackie with a sad smile.

Kissing Jackie's forehead, Hyde smiles down at her," i could always just stay with you then."

chuckling at the thought, Jackie shakes her head," Red would kill me."

" i could sneak out before dawn." suggests Hyde, wrapping an arm around Jackie

" they'll check to make sure i didn't sneak to your place though. Oooh! I wish that i lived with you." whines Jackie with a long huff.

Staring down at Jackie, Hyde gruffly asks," why couldn't you Jacks?"

nearly choking on her drink, Jackie gasps at the thought," you want me to live with you? As in move in?"

" your already over everyday." reminds Hyde with a smile.

" oooh! Steven!" gushes Jackie in excitement.

Rolling his eyes, Hyde groans as Jackie hugs him," I'll take that as a yes?"

settling down in Hyde's arms, Jackie grins with content," when do i move in roomie?"

" tomorrow i guess." suggests Hyde with a quick kiss.

" I'll pack tonight then." assures Jackie with a chuckle. ...

" so, your just going to wait up for her?" ponders Donna with interest.

" sure why not?" mutters Eric, switching on the television.

Grabbing herself a pop sickle, Donna throws one to Eric," what if she doesn't come home?"

flipping through the channels, Eric gives a small shrug," then I'll sleep down here until she does."

" well, what are you going to say when you see her?" asks Donna, sitting forward in her chair.

" i don't know." says Eric in a dis-interested voice.

Glancing over at Eric, Donna rolls her eyes," good plan Eric"

pacing around the basement, Eric frowns to himself," don't you have a curfew?"

" I'm going, I'm going." assures Donna with a laugh. ...

poking her head through the basement door, Jackie sneaks inside. Walking to her room, she changes in the dark. Packing up what little she has, she crawls into bed. Frowning when she knocks into someone, Jackie settles against them with a kiss," Steven, i thought that we agreed on this. Why are you here?"

" Jackie?" mumbles a now half awake Eric

" Eric!" yells Jackie in a shocked tone.

Jumping as Jackie shoves him out of bed, Eric brushes himself off," what did you go and do that for?"

glaring over at Eric, Jackie wraps herself snuggly in a blanket," you were in my bed!"

" I'm always in your bed." reminds Eric, ducking as a pillow flies by his head.

" not after tonight." says Jackie in a stern voice.

Giving Jackie a hurt look, Eric quickly recovers," why is that?"

with her back to Eric, Jackie closes her eyes," I'm moving in with Steven I'm always over there anyway."

" what if things don't work out?" asks Eric cautiously.

" they will." assures Jackie, smiling at the thought.

Jealous at the thought, Eric hides it well," how are you so sure?"

without a moments thought, Jackie simply replies," simple, i love him."

" how do you even know?" questions Eric, not convinced.

" i knew i would since he'd came to my rescue. So, i know." confirms Jackie, curling up in her spot.

wincing at Jackie's words, Eric reluctantly asks," and if it were me would you feel the same way?"

sighing to herself, Jackie gives a mere shrug," i don't know, you don't think about stuff like that when it comes to a best friend."

" well, maybe i don't want to be your friend!" snaps Eric in aggravation.

" fine, then get out." says Jackie in and ice cold tone.

Groaning in response, Eric sits beside Jackie," no, i mean that i want to be your boyfriend Jackie."

rubbing her eyes tiredly, Jackie looks up at Eric," i already have one though Eric"

" you wouldn't even consider it?" asks Eric with a hurt look.

" if i weren't taken, maybe." confesses Jackie with tired eyes.

"...so, what? Did you want me to stay down here with you?" questions Eric, deciding to end the painful topic.

" if you want to...id like that." says Jackie with a smile. ...

(following morning)

" so, I'm moving in with Steven today." informs Jackie with a yawn.

" you told me last night." points out Eric, stretching in his spot.

Glancing up at Eric, Jackie rubs at her eyes," there wasn't all that much for me to pack."

laughing at Jackie's lonesome bag, Eric just nods," yeah, i noticed that."

" i should get going." mutters Jackie, pulling on her shoes.

" your not going to tell my parents?" ponders Eric in disbelief.

Grabbing her nap sack, Jackie picks up a note," I'm just going to leave a note instead."

following Jackie out of her room, Eric grabs her wrist," wait, Jackie I...i love you."

" i know Eric" says Jackie with a sad smile.

" if you and Hyde ever break up..." starts Eric shyly not wanting to finish.

Catching the hint, Jackie just chuckles at this," your the first one that I'll call."

smirking to himself, Eric hugs Jackie close," i have something to look forward to then at least."

" i heard that you know." coughs Hyde, interrupting their hug.

" light up will you Steven" teases Jackie with a kiss."

taking Jackie's bag, Hyde pulls her up for one more," yeah, yeah. Lets go, times a wasting. We have to get your stuff moved in Jacks."

pointing to the bag in Hyde's hand, Jackie just laughs," thats kind of all of it."

" this is it?" asks Hyde in shock.

" I'm not exactly rich, my parent abandoned me remember?" jokes Jackie with a smile.

" come on, your lucky i have clothes that you can borrow." grumbles Hyde, opening Jackie's car door.

" oooh! I love you too Steven!" gushes Jackie, planting a kiss on Hyde's cheek.

" Jackie" says Hyde, getting in the drivers side.

" yeah?" questions Jackie with a grin.

" shut your pie hole." grumbles Hyde, laughing as Jackie slaps his chest. " come on, lets go home Jacks." ... --
