A/N: Well, here's the next part. Umm, thanks to everyone who read and reviewed my story. This chapter goes kind of fast but I was stuck and this is what I came up with.

Chapter 8.

Jackie stood there waiting for Jeremy and thinking about how she should greet him. A kiss is out of the question, she knew that for sure. Jeremy sounded as if he wanted her back and that would send out the wrong signal. She guessed that she would just have to do what came naturally. By the time she figured it out, she saw him, his 6'2 fit frame and jet-black hair. She cursed herself when she couldn't help but smile at him. Jeremy rushed over to her, lifted her up in his arms, and swung her tiny form around. After putting her back on the ground, Jackie stepped back and smiled at him, trying to hide how nervous she was.

"You still look good, Jackie" he told her while moving some of her hair off her shoulder. "When Sam called me and said that you agreed to talk to me and work this out, I couldn't believe it." Jackie had no idea in hell what he was talking about. Had Sam called him and lied about a nonexistent conversation they never had? Did she want her out of the way because she was onto the affair?

"Umm, I sad that I would talk to you but I never said anything about fixing what happened," Jackie confessed figuring that it would be best not to lie too much. "But, I do want us to be okay again. I know it sounds stupid but I want us to be friends again, like we used to be."

"I thought it was too good too be true," he mumbled and looked around. Why had be listened to Sam when she called.

"You know what? Lets go back to you hotel, then to the apartment and we'll see what we can do about us," Jackie told him hoping that he wasn't going to be upset with her. He nodded his head agreeing with her, hoping that she would come around and hoped that Sam would keep her promise and help him.

Hyde couldn't believe it, well that's not true, he could. Taking one look at Jeremy, Hyde knew that he was a jock and the complete opposite of himself. Of course, Jackie would have dated someone like him, they were probably the most popular couple back in high school, and it made him sick.

"How long are you here for?" That was the first thing that came out of Hyde's mouth. He noticed that Jackie shot him a look but he just chose to ignore it. He knew that it sounded rude and that was exactly what he wanted. He didn't want this guy to feel welcomed.

"A week maybe two but I doubt Jackie and I will be around the apartment that much," Jeremy told him. Hyde could feel his eye twitch, the only sign of his anger.

"I didn't know that Jackie was going to be staying with you." He looked at Jackie hoping that she wasn't.

"She's not going to but we are going to be spending a lot of time together," Jeremy stepped forward as if he was being threatened. "It's not like it should a problem."

"You know what," Jackie intervened, standing between them. "Why don't Jeremy and I go out and get something to eat. Then, we will call it a night. I'm sure that you're tired from your flight." Without a word, Jeremy walked out and Jackie turned to Hyde, "I'll be back in an hour or so." Watching Jackie leave, he didn't have a good feeling about Jeremy being here. He would just have to wait for her and make sure that she was still his.

"Sam could do so much better the that guy," Jeremy said taking a drink of his Coke. "I feel sorry for you. I wouldn't want to be around him to long." Jackie tapped her fingers on the table listening to him rant. "Are you seeing someone? Is that why you don't want to get back together with me?"

"No, I'm not with anyone," Jackie cocked her head to the side in thought. "Well, I am sort of but it's a complicated situation." Jeremy just nodded his head not really believing her. "Anyway, Steven's not that bad once you get to know him." They both sat there in silence finishing their food, Jackie couldn't wait to get back home. She knew that Hyde would be thinking the worst about her and Jeremy. For a minute, she thought she should make him suffer but he seemed really angry and she didn't want to make it worse.

As Jackie dropped Jeremy off his hotel, they made plans to have breakfast in the morning. That she would have to worry about when it came around. Right now, she needed to set her sights on smoothing things over with her and Hyde. As she got to the door of the apartment, she couldn't hear anything on inside. She knew that he was there; his car was in the parking lot. Poking her head inside, almost as if she was waiting to be yelled at, Jackie looked cautiously around. She saw him sitting there him his chair, facing away from her.

"Steven?" Jackie said softly. She walked so that she stood in front of him, "Steven, I'm sorry; I shouldn't have brought him here." Hyde looked back up at her and without saying anything; he jumped up from his seat and crushed his mouth against hers.

"Did you hug him?" Jackie didn't answer his question. There was no way that he could get mad over a hug. "You don't smell the same. You must smell like him." Again, she didn't say thing, deep down he wanted to know where he was going with this. Hyde picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his wait as he carried her to his bedroom that he shared with Sam.

"Steven, we can't do this here on your bed." Jackie couldn't believe that he wanted to take her right on her sister's bed.

"Too bad, I want you on my bed," the possessiveness that he was showing was making her shiver. Just the look in his eyes made her want to do whatever he wanted her to do. "You know that it makes this exciting…having you in my bed, where I sleep next to your sister." Hyde attached his lips to her neck, nipping at her skin until he saw it turn red. He bit down once more and Jackie cried out, Hyde looked up at her wondering if he was being to rough with her. He kissed her cheek and rubbed his thumb across her cheek. "I'm jealous, okay. I will never say it again and I don't trust him, I will never trust any guy around you." Jackie pushed Hyde off her and kneeled down in front of him. Hyde took off his shirt, Jackie worked his pants off and found nothing underneath. She looked up at him and lifted her eyebrow at him. Laughing, she kissed his stomach, right below his belly button……………

Jeremy knocked for the third time and still nothing. Turning the door handle, he softly called out for Jackie. After not getting a response, he walked down the hallway and opened the door that had light coming through the bottom. Opening the door, he wasn't prepared for the sight in front of him. "JACKIE!" Jackie turned swiftly around, her eyes widening in fear. Hyde pulled his pants back up and pulled his shirt back on. "This was the guy you were talking about? I can't believe that you would do something like this."

"Jeremy, please you don't understand," Jackie cried. As she was about to go on, they all heard the front door slam shut and Sam call out that she was home. "Please don't say anything," she whispered. Sam appeared in the doorway and had a look of confusion across her face.

"Why is everyone in here?" Sam asked, walking in the room and putting her bag of cloths on the floor by the closet.

"Jerko over here made Jackie upset," Hyde lied.

"Jeremy, what did you do to Jackie," she asked looking back and fourth between her sister and Jeremy. Jackie was shaking thinking that he would spill everything.

"Just a little fight, that's all," he said looking at Hyde. He didn't know why he had helped them out but he loved Jackie and didn't want to hurt her. "We still have a lot to talk about. I'm sure we'll sort it all out tomorrow." Walking out not able to be in the same room with Jackie and Hyde, he left.

"Jackie, are you okay," Sam asked and went in for a hug but Jackie stepped back away from her.

"Yea, I just need to get some sleep," Jackie wiped her eyes and looked at Hyde for a minute. "It's been a long day."

A/N: Okay, so there it is. Now the question is…what will Jeremy do with the information he found out about?
