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.

Hey sorry these last couple chapters were so short, i originally only wrote two more but i cut them in half to prolong this story this i put my next one up.

Chapter#8

rolling her eyes at Hyde, Jackie walks into the kitchen," did it ever occur to you that maybe i just enjoy his company?"

" since when!" scoffs Hyde, not buying Jackie's story one bit.

" since always, i was happy with Eric!" snaps Jackie, slamming a cup down on the counter and pouring herself some orange juice.

Laughing to himself in amusement, Hyde tosses a grape up and into his mouth," please, you were miserable with him. Just admit it!"

whirling around on Hyde, Jackie glares up at him in aggravation," why do you even give a damn? Shouldn't you be off somewhere messing around with another slutty girl?"

"...is that what this is about?" questions Hyde after a long tension filled silence.

" whatever." growls Jackie, trying her best to remain Zen suddenly.

Following Jackie into her room, Hyde steps in front of her," that is what this is about, your jealous that i brought that girl home last night. Admit it Jackie, i can see it in your eyes."

pulling back the covers on her bed, Jackie climbs under them," think what you want to think Steven"

" prove me wrong then." challenges Hyde, staring down at her.

" i don't have to prove anything to you." dismisses Jackie, turning her back to Hyde

Sitting down on Jackie's bed, Hyde leans over her," because you know that I'm right."

staring up at Hyde with an angry look, Jackie shoves him away lightly," good night Steven!"

" I'm going to kiss you in five seconds Jacks, and if you don't want me to then your just going to have to stop me." warns Hyde cautiously, pulling Jackie so she's facing him.

" Steven, if you kiss me; we're going to have a serious problem." points out Jackie, refusing to look up at him.

Lifting Jackie's chin, Hyde presses his lips against hers,"...three, two, one."

looking up at Hyde with shock," Jackie tenses when their lips finally meet," this is wrong."

" its not wrong Jacks. I want you, and you want me. We can't help it, things just happen that way." comforts Hyde, nudging the tip of his nose against hers.

" yeah, but Steven- i..." starts Jackie, never getting the chance to finish.

Silencing Jackie with a finger to her lips, Hyde simply pecks her forehead," its not wrong Jackie, trust me."

placing her hand over Hyde's, Jackie glances up at him," I'm scared to."

" you don't have to be though." assures Hyde, pulling Jackie into a protective hug.

" what if it doesn't work out?" asks Jackie in a small voice.

" we'll make it work Jacks. I promise." confides Hyde, silencing any protests from Jackie with a kiss. ... --
