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 #6
(later that morning)
" are you almost done in there Steven? I really need to shower." complains Jackie, standing outside the bathroom door.
" I'll be out in a minute Burkhart." calls Hyde in response, knowing full well she'll be upset by the use of her last name.
Tying her robe tight, Jackie pokes her head into the bathroom," what happened to Jackie?"
buttoning up his pants, Hyde pulls on a Zeppelin t-shirt," whatever."
" did you know that girl?" asks Jackie quietly, after giving Hyde a hurt look.
" does it look like it?" retorts Hyde in a Zen manner.
Biting at her bottom lip, Jackie glances over at Hyde," so, did you...with her?"
grabbing his tooth brush, Hyde brushes his teeth," what is it to you if i did or didn't?"
" nothing really, just curious." confides Jackie, staring at Hyde's reflection in the mirror.
" well, fortunately thats not really any of your business now is it?" responds Hyde a little too harshly. ...
(that afternoon; movies-E/J)
" one movie ticket please?" asks Jackie, shoving cash toward the movie vendor
" for what movie miss?" questions the movie vendor, placing her cash in the register.
With a simple shrug of her shoulders, Jackie sighs to herself," i don't know, anything. Pick a movie." ...
(two hours later)
" did you just want to grab some coffee Buddy?" asks Eric, walking out from the movie theater.
" yeah, sure man. ...Hey, isn't that your ex? ...Jackie was her name right?" ponders buddy once her spots her.
Glancing in the direction Buddy is pointing, Eric stops in his tracks," yeah, that would be her."
checking Jackie out, Buddy shakes his head with a laugh," why would you ever want to let her go?"
" i ask myself that all the time...hey, I'll catch up with you man." mutters Eric, heading in Jackie's direction.
" yeah, sure thing man." mutters Buddy, taking one last long look at Jackie before heading off himself. ...
" Jackie? ...Hey." greet Eric, walking up behind her with a smile.
" Eric, hey. ...What are you doing here?" asks Jackie with a confused look written all over her face.
Shoving his hands into his pockets, Eric kicks at the ground sheepishly," i went and saw a movie...are you here with anyone?"
laughing to herself, Jackie rolls her eyes," no, i wanted Steven to come. But he's been a jerk lately, so i decided to just come alone instead."
" i see, are you two finally...?" starts Eric, not wanting to finish or know the answer.
" its been discussed...well, argued...a lot. But no, we're not." explains Jackie with a heavy sigh.
Giving a small nod, Eric sips his soda," oh, well...did you want some company perhaps? Maybe we could go for a drive...just for old times sake, as friends. What do you say Jackie?" ...
