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 #8

(diary entry)

1/24/1976

dear diary, i never thought that i could hate someone so strongly. but i do, Jake. ...ok, so maybe i don't hate him. but he is really starting to get annoying lately, and since when is it his business what Steven and i do? what is it to him if Steven took me out the other night? nothing, thats what. i liked it better when i could just ignore him, and it wouldn't be so hard if he weren't ALWAYS around. eh, i could always just try harder. ...(end entry)...

(eric's house; basement 4 weeks later)

" Jackie? i wasn't really expecting to see you down here." greet Eric as he walks downstairs into the basement.

" yeah, well i'm not staying. i'm just waiting for Fez, we're supposed to hangout." mutters jackie, going back to the book she had been reading.

getting himself a pop sickle, Eric tosses one to Jackie," so, what are the plans today?"

ripping open her pop sickle, Jackie bites into it," going to the Hub, maybe catching a movie...not talking to you."

" so, then they aren't going too well i take it?" jokes Eric with a smile.

" not so much, your still here." says jackie in a flat tone.

laughing to himself, Eric smirks over at Jackie," well, i do live here and all."

turning her back toward Eric, Jackie folds her arms across her chest," that doesn't mean that i have to talk to you."

" well, you could always wait somewhere else you know." points out Eric with a smug look on his face.

" aiii, no. are you two whores arguing again?" groans Fez as he enters the basement.

jumping up from her seat at the sight of Fez, Jackie pounces on him happily," Fezzy, hey! i missed you!"

stumbling back slightly, Fez attempts to pry Jackie off him,"...too tight, can't breath!"

" ooh, i'm sorry Fez. but i haven't seen you in a week or two." complains Jackie before letting Fez go."

" thats because you are never home, you son of a bitch! can you not pick up a phone!" snaps Fez, clearly irritated.

giving Fez a quick peck on the cheek, Jackie gives him a sad smile," sorry, i just had some things going on."

looking over at Jackie, Eric holds out his arms," where is my hug?"

" sorry, i don't hug pricks." confides Jackie matter-of-factly.

" hey, hey! there will be no fighting, we are going to have fun today. all of us, is that clear?" orders Fez in a stern voice.

" fine, just keep Foreplay away from me." reasons Jackie in a dismissive tone.

" its Foreman!" growls Eric as he follows Jackie from the basement. ...

(after the movies; Hub)

" see wasn't that fun?" inquires Fez as they enter the Hub.

" it would have been more fun if Eric didn't have to come." states Jackie with annoyance.

following Jackie into the Hub, Eric sits across from her," i heard that Jackie."

with a small shrug, Jackie sticks her tongue out at Eric," you were supposed to."

" what are you, five now?" questions Eric with a laugh.

" what are you, five now?" copies Jackie with a playful grin.

shaking his head at Jackie, Eric rolls his eyes," quit copying me."

chuckling at this, Jackie just smiles in response," quit copying me."

" i'm a stupid idiot." says Eric in attempt to get Jackie to say it.

" your a stupid idiot." confirms Jackie before her and Fez burst out in laughter.

groaning to himself, Eric frowns over at Jackie," your cute, very cute Jackie."

grinning at the compliment, Jackie sits back in her seat," whatever, go order Eric." ...

(while Eric's ordering)

" Jackie?" calls Jake, walking up to her andFez at their table.

" hey Jake...Jake!" gasps jackie in shock.

pulling up a chair, Jake sits down next to Jackie," what are you doing here? ...Who is the foriegn kid?"

fixing an angry stare on Jake, Fez sets down his drink," who are you calling foriegn you whore?"

" relax Fez, this is my roommate Jake." confides Jackie, patting his arm in comfort.

" what the hell Jackie? are you cheating on me? you...you, son of a bitch!" explodes Fez before turning away from Jackie in a huff.

holding back a laugh, Jackie touches Fez's arm lightly," no Fez, i'm not cheating. because we aren't even going out."

placing his arm around Jackie, Fez smirks down at her," well, you know they say that once you go Fez you never go back. ...in my country that rhyms."

" your friend is kind of weird." point of Jake with a shake of his head.

" yeah, but you get used to it...is Steven with you?" questions Jackie cautiously before looking around.

picking at his fries, Jake just gives a simple nod," yeah, why?"

biting at her bottom lip, Jackie curses under her breath," crap!"

" hey, Jackie they didn't have tator tots. so, i had to get you cheese fries instead. are those still your fovorite?" asks eric as he walks up with a tray of food.

" yeah, thanks...but i kind of lost my appitite Eric." mumbles Jackie with her head lowered.

glancing in Jake's direction, Eric arches up an eye brow," who is this guy?"

stiring up her soda, Jackie takes a long sip," that is just Steven's roommate."

" i have a name you know." informs Jake slightly offended.

" yeah, but no one here cares what it is." reminds Jackie in a teasing manner.

tosing a french fry into his mouth, Jake grumbles to himself," yeah, very funny Jackie." ...

(five minute later)

...grabbing a sack of food, Hyde quickly pays for it," our orders ready, come on Jake. i want to get home before Jac...Jackie."

" steven...hey." greets Jackie in a very hesitant way.

" you said that you were just hanging out with Fez." reminds Hyde trying to play it cool.

shifting in her seat, Jackie stares down at her lap," i was...until Fez decided Eric should tag along, i didn't want him to though i swear Steven."

grumbling at this, Eric fixes his gaze on Jackie," um, your not as far away as you think Burkhart."

" shut up Eric...Steven, i..." starts Jackie before quickly getting interrupted.

" save it, i don't care Jackie. lets go Jake!" growls Hyde, fuming as he storms out of the Hub. ...

2/21/1976

dear diary, you know how a good day can go from bad to worse? well, that is basically what hapened to me today. i spent the whole day with Fez...and Eric, but it wasn't by choice trust me. but we all had fun though, just like old times. until we ran into Jake, that is. no big deal, right? ...wrong! Steven was with him, and when he saw Eric...i knew he was angry. i could just tell by the look on his face, and thats when he stormed out of the Hub. i'm afraid to talk to him, i know that he's mad that i went out with Eric. i guess that whatever he says, i'll deserve it. ...(end entry)...

(the apartment; Hyde's room)

sneaking inside the apartment when its dark, Jackie silently walks into Hyde's room. changing into her night clothes, she combs out her hair. slipping into bed with Hyde, she carefully places her arms around his chest. nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck, Jackie whispers in his ear," good night Steven."

shuddering at Jackie's touch, Hyde turns to face her," Jackie, thought for sure you would be over at Eric's."

" no, but i was going to stay at Fez's...but he kept on hitting on me." admits Jackie with a tired sigh.

" why were you hanging out with him?" inquires Hyde with a look of zen.

letting out a long sigh, Jackie finally looks up at Hyde," it wasn't my idea, it was Fez's. but he is still my firned, you know."

tensing when Jackie goes to kiss him, Hyde reluctantly pulls away," do you love him Jacks?"

" not anymore, but i did at one time." confesses Jackie after a minute or so of silence.

" oh, well that makes everything so much better." remarks Hyde with sarcasm.

laying her head on Hyde's chest, Jackie stares up at him," Steven, are you really that dense?"

sitting on his elbows, Hyde raises an eye brow at Jackie," maybe?"

" i like you idiot!" yells Jackie before slapping Hyde's chest.

" oh, well...apology accepted." assures Hyde, ducking as Jackie throws a pillow past him.

with a roll of her eyes, Jackie give Hyde a kiss," shut up Steven."

grinning in response, Hyde pecks Jackie's forehead softly," will do Jacks."

..." well, there goes whatever chances i would have had with Jackie." mumbles Jake, over hearing all of this from his room . ...

2/22/1976

dear diary, so i told Steven last night. ...that i like him, that is. he didn't seem grossed out or anything, just happy. which is a good thing, i hope. we're not a thing though, at leas ti don't think that we are. we haven't talked about it, and the truth be told? i'm afraid to bring it up, Steven just doesn't look like the commiting type. and if he isn't, and i ask about us...if he said no i would be crushed. maybe telling Steven was a bad idea...oooh, i don't want to think about it anymore. ...(end entry)...

" he's not, you know." reports Jake from over Jackie's shoulder.

" do you always read over peoples shoulders?" asks Jackie becoming very annoyed.

pouring himself a drink, Jake grabs himself a pop tart," only yours."

frowning over at Jake, Jackie tosses her pen at him," jerk."

" why am i a jerk? ...Hyde's never been the commiting type you know." points out Jake before taking a bite from his pop tart.

" how would you even know?" accuses Jackie with a scowl.

laughing to himself, Jake just shakes his head," Jackie, i'm his oldest friend. Hyde's been through plently of girls, he's just never slept with any of them."

getting up to turn on the television, Jackie chooses to ignore Jake," whatever."

" i'm telling you, Hyde doesn't stick with just one girl. and if your thinking that maybe he will, your going to be sadly mistaken. your only going to get yourself hurt Jackie." confides Jake, looking over at Jackie with concern.

..." hey." says Hyde as he walks out from the bathroom, having taken a shower.

smiling when she spots Hyde, Jackie walks into his arms," hey Steven."

giving Jackie an odd look when she kisses him, Hyde pulls away slightly," whats wrong?"

" nothing, i just felt like kissing you. is that so wrong?" asks Jackie in a pouty voice.

" no, actually i encourage it." jokes Hyde with a silly grin spread across his face.

watching this interaction with jealousy, Jake mutters under his breath," you two make me sick."

stealing a deathly glare at Jake, Jackie whispers into Hyde's ear," i'm going to get ready for bed."

" i'll be in later Jacks." says Hyde in a gruff tone before giving Jackie another kiss. ...

dear diary, Jake has a lot of nerve! i don't know what his problem is, if he's jealous or what. he tried to tell me that Steven really isn't the commiting type, he came off sounding like he was trying to protect me. like its his job, since when? and from what? Jake told me that if i thought that Steven was the commiting type, i was only going to be setting myself up for a world of hurt. how the hell would he even know, maybe Steven could commit. i don't even know why i let anything Jake says, bother me. but he'll just have to get over it, because my liking Steven is NOT going to change anytime soon. ...(end entry)...

Ok, so this was pretty much the last chapter for this story. i was going to write more, but i decided to end it now while it was still good. i didn't want this story to take a wrong turn and go down the drain. i'm going to have another story up shortly, probably not this week. but if i'm lucky hopefully next week, so keep a look out. and as always, thanks for the reviews you guys. i appreciate them.
