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 #5
(early the next morning 1am)
" Jackie?" mumbles Eyde when he feels someones arms wrap around him.
" mmmm." groans Jackie quietly, nuzzling up against Hyde
Staring at Jackie's arms hugged around his chest, Hyde tenses as a tear hits his back," Jacks?"
burying her face into Hyde's back, Jackie cries in her sleep," how could you do this!"
"...do what?" asks a very confused Hyde
" i can't believe this, your such a jerk!" screams Jackie, shoving at Hyde
glancing back at Jackie baffled, Hyde doesn't realize she's sleep talking," what did i do?"
slapping Hyde across the face, Jackie turns her back to him," go to hell!"
" what was that for!" growls Hyde, holding his now stinging cheek.
" i don't care, you made out with that red haired skank! Theres nothing else to talk about, its over Eric!" snaps Jackie as tears flow from her eyes.
Giving Jackie a hard shake, Hyde touches her arm lightly," Jacks...Jackie! Get up!"
shooting up from her seat, Jackie stares up at Hyde," Steven"
" are you ok?" inquires Hyde, pulling Jackie against him in a protective embrace.
" yeah, i just couldn't sleep. So i wanted to be near you Steven" admits Jackie, her eyes downcast the entire time.
Rubbing Jackie's back softly, Hyde holds her close," yeah, but you were crying and talking in your sleep."
cuddling closer to Hyde, Jackie swipes at her eyes,"...I'm sorry Steven"
" for what Jacks?" questions Hyde, planting a kiss on her forehead.
" for needing you so much...and slapping you apparently." mutters Jackie with a sad sigh.
Giving Jackie a light peck on the lips, Hyde lays down with her," its cool, but you slap hard."
sniffling to herself, Jackie looks up at Hyde with tears in her eyes," sorry about that."
" don't worry about it." comforts Hyde with a smile.
" your really something Steven" comments Jackie with a yawn.
" shh, go back to sleep." orders Hyde in a gruff tone. ...

dear diary, something really horrible happened last night. I had a dream about the day i broke up with Eric, except it was worse. In my dream, i actually saw Eric making out with that red haired whore instead of just hearing about it. It was awful! Steven had to shake me awake, i think i slapped him. This can't mean that i still love Eric, no...I hate him. But, why am i not over him by now then? He's not even an option for me! Theres not a chance in hell that i would ever take Eric back, after all he put me through. But if thats so true, why does our break up still affect me so much? ... (end entry) ...
(J/Jk interaction)
" you always write in that thing?" ponders Jake, standing behind Jackie
" only when i have no one to confide in." admits Jackie, placing her diary at her side.
Plopping down beside Jackie, jake glances over at her," i don't know where Hyde is, but you can talk with me...you know if you need to that is."
smiling at this, Jackie gives a small nod," thanks jake."
" so, whats on your mind?" questions jake, his attention fully on Jackie
" i think that i might still have feelings for my ex." confesses Jackie after a long period of silence.
Tossing Jackie a beer, jake grabs one for himself," the guy who clocked Hyde?"
guzzling down her beer, Jackie snatches up another one just as quick," that would be the one."
" didn't he cheat on you?" points out jake with an arched eye brow.
" lets not get technical here." mutters Jackie with a frown.
With a simple nod of his head, jake turns to face Jackie completely," ok, take it from someone who has been hurt. Going back to your ex? Not the brightest idea."
chuckling her agreement, Jackie sets down her third beer," yeah, i guess it wouldn't be bright. Especially since i live with Steven"
" see? Your thinking clearly now." teases jake with a smirk.
" yeah, i guess I'm just lonely." admits Jackie in a depressed voice.
Watching as stray tears fall from Jackie's eyes, jake silently panics," what? no...no water works, bad Jackie bad! ...Ahh, crap!"
walking into jake's arms, Jackie trembles against him," it just hurts, you know jake?"
" it gets better though, you deserve an amazing guy. One that will treat you right and say all the right things." comforts jake, patting Jackie on her back.
" thanks jake, your really sweet." mumbles Jackie with a small smile.
Every muscle in jake tenses as Jackie's lips meet his, jumping back in shock he shakes his head," whoa! Definitely not a smart idea."
looking up at jake with pure confusion, Jackie steps forward," you said i could find an amazing guy though."
" because you can." reminds jake taking another step back.
" well, then i don't understand. I think your amazing jake." confides Jackie, touching jake's face softly.
Stumbling backwards and nearly tripping, jake gulps to himself," well, thats very sweet Jackie"
backing jake against the wall, Jackie stands on her tip toes so her lips lock with his," so whats the problem then?"
" nothing, just that i value my life, and if Hyde knew...dammit!" curses jake, gulping hard as Hyde walks in on their lip lock.
" whats going on here?" growls Hyde, glaring at jake in a menacing tone.
Taking one look at Hyde, Jackie turns the other way and runs," i have to go." ...

dear diary, i am such an idiot! I kissed jake, i don't know why or how it happened. But it did and I'm dead! I was upset about the dream i had, so i told jake. And he was comforting me, it felt so great. He was so sweet and amazing, and thats when it happened. I can't explain it, i just kissed him...twice. I'm so dead too, Steven walked in and saw us. He is going to kick me out, for sure. Not that i can really blame him, i would too. I'm so stupid, i had a place to stay and a great friend. But not anymore, i just ruined it. Now I'm back to being lonely, and starving on the weekends. This wouldn't have happened, if i weren't so vulnerable and lonely. I've got no one to blame but myself, maybe i should just start getting use to being lonely. Thats all I'm ever going to be, jake wouldn't date me anyway. He's too good of a friend to Steven, i was delusional to think anything else. Where else am i going to find an amazing guy like him? Or Steven for that matter? Steven will probably never speak to me again, not that id hold it against him. I wouldn't either if my supposed friend was caught kissing my roommate, I'm just going to get my stuff and leave. I'll wait until its safe though, i don't want to argue with Steven I already know that he hates me, why listen to him say it? Besides, its not like i have much anyway. ... (end entry) ... --
