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 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. Oh by the way I added my own character, his name is Jake. He's not romantically inclined with Jackie from what I've wrote so far but that could have a tendency to change. I don't know, haven't wrote that far ahead yet. But he is my own original created character as well as Hyde's roomy and doesn't show up until the 4th chapter, just thought I'd let you all know.
Chapter #2
" Jackie, what the hell? Where were you lunch yesterday?" questions Eric as she enters the basement.
" i had some place that i really had to be." lies Jackie unconvincingly, plopping down on the couch.
Studying Jackie for a minute, Eric frowns to himself," you ditched again with that Hyde kid, didn't you."
flipping on the television, Jackie flicks through the channels," was it that obvious?"
" Jackie, i told you. That guy is bad news, your just going to get in trouble with him." warns Eric with a heavy sigh.
" really, thats funny. He doesn't look like trouble to me." replies Jackie, not even bothering to look away from the television.
Laughing in response, Eric rolls his eyes," please, he has you skipping school!"
shrugging her shoulders, Jackie grabs her coat," maybe i felt like skipping and actually having a little fun for once.
" Jackie, where are you going?" questions Eric, standing up from his seat.
" out, because i am not having this argument with you." mutters Jackie, heading out of the basement.
Grabbing his car keys, Eric follows Jackie outside the basement," and what argument would that be again?"
whirling around on Eric, Jackie looks up at him with a scowl," the one where you can't handle the fact that I'm spending time with another guy and become a jealous jerk!"
" whoa, i am not a jealous jerk!" argues Eric, stepping in front of Jackie now.
" really? Because you could have fooled me!" accuses Jackie, brushing past Eric
Sighing to himself, Eric grabs Jackie's arm lightly as she walks away," Jackie, I'm just trying to protect you."
wriggling out of Eric's grasp, Jackie gives him an icy look," from what?"
" from this Hyde guy, he's no good for you." confides Eric, placing his hand over Jackie's
" you don't even know him Eric!" snaps back Jackie, snatching her hands away.
Side stepping in front of Jackie once more, Eric looks down at her as he walks backwards," I've heard things about him, he's not hanging out with you because he's interested in you. He's just looking for a make out buddy, he'll ditch you as soon as he get bored. And then you'll end up hurt, i know it."
tensing as Eric leans down and kisses her, Jackie shoves him away with a slap before stalking off," your a prick."
" Jackie, wait. Come on...dammit!" curse Eric, watching Jackie walk off. ...

dear diary, i know that i have mentioned this before. But i hate Eric, he has been nothing but a jerk lately! I don't know where he gets off, trying to tell me who i can and can't hang out with. Who the hell does he think that he is, my father? Please, my father ran off when i was seven. And i do not need him taking over that role, god sometimes i can't stand him! Eric had the nerve to start up on how Steven is no good again, its like he's a damn broken record. Then he tried to tell me that Steven isn't hanging out with me because he's interested in me, he's just looking for a make out buddy. And that he would just ditch me when he gets bored, and then I'll end up hurt. Thats ridiculous though! We've hung out twice so far, and neither of those times has Steven tried to make out with me. Eric doesn't know what he's talking about, he's just jealous. ...But, i can't help to think what if he's right? What if that really is all that Steven wants from me? What if thats all that every guy ever wants from me? ...Oh, great! Now I'm sad and depressed instead of angry and frustrated. ...Stupid Eric! This is all his fault! ...

(that afternoon; park)
" hey, is this seat taken?" greets Hyde, walking up behind Jackie
" does it look like it?" growls Jackie, instantly regretting it when she notices its Hyde
Sitting beside Jackie on the grass, Hyde glances over at her," whats up with you?"
shaking her head with an exhausted sigh, Jackie stares out across the lake," nothing, I'm just in a sour mood. I had an argument."
" what about?" questions Hyde with a look of concern.
" you, strangely enough." admits Jackie after a few moments of silence.
Turning toward Jackie completely, Hyde looks at her with surprise," ok, what about me?"
laying back in the grass, Jackie closes her eyes," my friend...well ex too partly...Eric thinks that your bad news, and will just wind up hurting me in the end."
" thats ridiculous! He doesn't even me!" yells Hyde, slowly becoming angry.
" thats exactly what i said, whatever. Forget i even mentioned it." suggests Jackie, stretching out in her spot.
Laying down beside Jackie, Hyde props his arm behind his head," i got you something Jacks."
moving to rest her head on Hyde's chest, Jackie listens to the pitter patter of his heart," why is that?"
" i don't know, i just remember you saying that you liked my led zeppelin album. So i bought you one...and this." confides Hyde, handing Jackie an old t-shirt.
" your giving me a used t-shirt?" ponders Jackie with a confused expression on her face.
Sitting up on his elbows, Hyde gives a small nod," well, yeah. It's a zeppelin t-shirt, it use to be mine. But i out grew it."
smiling at the gesture, Jackie looks up at Hyde," i can really keep it?"
" yeah, it doesn't fit me." says Hyde in a gruff voice.
" thanks, I'll wear it every night to bed." gushes Jackie as her eyes light up.
Nudging Jackie softly, Hyde grabs her hand," its getting dark out, come on. I'll walk you home." ...

dear diary, forget about any of those doubts that i had about Steven He is so sweet, Eric has no idea what he is talking about. I don't know why i let anything he said, bother me. Last night proved Steven isn't just looking for a make out buddy, why do i even listen to Eric? I'm not even sure how Steven found me, but he did. And get this? He bought me a led zeppelin album because he remembered that i said i liked his! Plus he gave me an old zeppelin t-shirt of his, I'm wearing it right now. Steven is awesome, i didn't even ask him to do that. He even walked me home last night...and sort of stayed, but not in that way. My mom is never home so i asked him if he would, and he just held me all night. Steven is really sweet like that, he'd probably roll his eyes if he read this. I don't know why I'm talking all mushy gushy, this is definitely not me. Maybe I'm just not use to having some guy be nice to me for no reason, they usually have an ulterior motive. Like wanting to ask me out, or sleep with me. But i know its not like that with Steven, i just know it. Don't ask me how, i just do though. No, Steven doesn't strike me as that type of guy. He's different some how, its like all he wants to do is protect me. And i like that, i know when I'm with him I'll be safe. I've never really ever felt that with anyone, and i like that feeling. God, listen to me. Steven would probably laugh if he ever saw this, he's say that i sound like a complete girl. I just know it! But i can't help it, I've never felt this way around a guy before. I'm not even sure what it is that I'm feeling, but i do know one thing. I don't want whatever it is this feeling i have is to go away, and i don't want to stop spending time with Steven For some reason, whenever I'm around Steven I'm happy. Don't ask me why, i couldn't even begin to explain it. Because i don't even know why myself. I just am, thats all that i know. And for some oddly amazing reason, I'm ok with that. Oh, who am i trying to kid? I just secretly love to be in Steven's arms, I've never been held by anyone before. Its an intensely incredible feeling. Oh, god! I really do sound like a girl! ...I am so ashamed of myself right now, snap out of it Jackie! Your loosing your well perfected Zen exterior! ... --
