He had just ended a 10-month thing with Jackie and now he was lying in bed thinking about it. The look on her face when he had told her he didn t love her was haunting him. He had tried to sleep but every time he closed his eyes her face and words entered his mind and he was getting frustrated! Who d a thought that he would loose sleep over Jackie Burkhart? Not him that s for sure, but here he was, not even able to get a wink of sleep.
After Jackie had left he had headed straight for his room and was unfortunately followed by a nosey red head questioning him. He knew she would be mad that he had closed the door in her face but he couldn t care, She was just a red headed lumber jack with flat hair which wouldn t be like that if she had only oh god he was even quoting Jackie! God help him!
Slamming his face into his pillow he growled in annoyance, why couldn t he stop thinking about her?
Alone in her empty mansion, Jackie hugged her pillow tight to her chest all out of tears.
What had happened with them? One minute they re in a full make out session and the next he says he regrets all of it, but the thing that hurt the most was that he didn t love her.
"Really? Cause I don t love you"
He had said it so calmly that she believed it. 10 months, 10 months! She remembered when they had their first kiss on Veterans, She hadn t felt anything back then but when they were alone and watching the price is right it had felt so right. Closing her eyes, she tried to forget his harsh words.
He walked into the Forman kitchen, shoulders slumped and eyes weary, it was obvious that he had no sleep. Sitting down he looked at his breakfast Mrs. Forman had made for him. Pushing it forward not really hungry he banged his head on the table.
Looking at Stevens s tired form, Kitty stopped her cutting and walked over to the table and sat down, scowling at Red for not looking up from his new paper and asking him what was wrong. Not sure if Hyde was asleep, she cleared her voice which gained his attention.
" What s wrong Steven? You look absolutely awful"
Looking at kitty he shook his head and straightened his back.
" Nothing Mrs. Forman, I I really don t want to talk about it"
Putting his newspaper down, Red nodded in approval.
" Good for you Steven, not wanting to talk about feelings is a big step into becoming a man"
Chewing a piece of bacon in is mouth, Eric swallowed and looked at Hyde, wow his mom was right, he did look awful. Things must not of gone well with Jackie then. Donna told him that she saw Jackie run away crying and Hyde wouldn t even let her get in a word. Hyde was probably feeling what he felt when he broke up with Donna over the whole promise ring thing, but then again Hyde was not one to let his emotions show and well Jackie was the devil.
" So Hyde, that bad with Jackie huh? Well I think you did the right thing, Kelso is more important then that . Yoko."
Quickly getting up from his seat, Hyde walked out the Kitchen and down to the basement, he was already sick of people asking him about her.
Looking from were Hyde left and back to Eric, Kitty shook her head not really understanding.
" What do you mean that bad with Jackie, what happened?"
Sighing, Eric began to explain.
"Hyde broke up with Jackie"
Hearing a "what' and a grunt from his parents he continued
" Ya, Kelso found out about the two and told Hyde to break up with her"
Staring at his son with an odd look, Red picked up his coffee and shook his head.
" Look at you, gossiping with your mother about other peoples problems, its no wonder Donna is the man of you two"
Ignoring his dad he continued.
" Anyway.......... Kelso said if he didn t end it with her, he wouldn t be friends with Hyde"
Kitty picked up her plate and headed for the sink, not believing what she was hearing.
? Well that s just terrible I mean what kind of friend would make another friend choose between the women he loves or them, that s just wrong, Red."
Before she could even finish her husband already replied with a "no"
Not really caring that he already answered she kept talking
" Yes Red, now Steven is hurting now go talk to him"
Determined to win the argument, Red sat up and walked to his wife, obviously annoyed.
"No Kitty, you heard the boy earlier, he didn t want to talk about it which is good, and besides, its that idiot Kelso s fault so why do I have to do anything?"
Washing her dish, Kitty replied simply
"Because I said so"
Throwing his arms up in frustration, Red gave in.
" Fine! You know if we had you in Korea, we would of won in less then a day with your damn mouth!"
Watching her husband stomp down to the basement to have a word with Steven, Kitty laughed and could help but call out
"I love you too"
Smirking at his moms victory, Eric continued his breakfast wondering if his dad could get anything out of the Zen king.
