Disclaimers: I do not own that 70's show
She was out of breath, her legs were hurting and her eyes were still watery but she didn't care; she had to find Steven. After leaving Michael back at Donna's and now her place she immediately went in search of him.
It was odd really, she was with Michael for years and had thought that getting a proposal from him would make her the happiest women in the world but here she was looking for the most unlikely person to tell him that she loved him and was almost positive he would return the favor.
Michael had told her the real reason Steven had dumped her and was so sorry about it that more tears were coming out of his eyes. Of coarse she had forgiven him well.. almost, she would have yelled but she didn't have the time, she had to find Hyde!
Sitting on the bed, Kelso stared at the tiny ring in his hand and began to fiddle with it. Whipping away more tears, he got up and sat the ring back down on the table. She was the love of his life, she didn't want to be with him and she didn't want to marry him and yet…. He smiled and laughed. Who would of thought that Hyde, the scruffy orphan burn out would be the one Jackie loved. It was … funny! Yep Hyde had once again burned him by taking his girl and …… he just hopped he would treat her right.
Scuffing his boots, Hyde looked around the hotel hallway waiting for his date, Melinda was her name? He couldn't really remember, all he could think about was Jackie and Kelso. Jackie, who had only days before told him she loved him, was now engaged to the idiot who promised Hyde that he wouldn't do it… yet.
Growling, he clenched his fists prepared to punch the wall when……. He felt a hand on his shoulder. Taking in a breath he saw.. Melinda, huh he almost fooled himself that it was Jackie. Slumping his shoulders he let out a breath he hadn't even known he was holding.
" Hey"
Smirking at his quiet remark, she slid her arms seductively around his waist pulling him closer.
" Hey yourself"
He swallowed a deep lump in his throat and removed her from him and gave a tug at her hand, pulling her towards the door, he debated whether or not to go in and…. Forget about Jackie Burkhart…. Who was soon to be a Kelso. On that last thought he scowled and pulled Melinda in with him through the door, he was over Jackie Burkhart!
It was god knows what time and her search was in vein, Were Was He? She had searched every were for him, the basement, the rest of the Forman house, the hub, the mall and some other places she would rather not want to go to again, for as tiny as Point Place was, she couldn't find him any were.
She was now on her way back to her place, that's were she had last seen him so maybe he still hung around there for who knows what reasons, but one thought still bugged her. Instead of being so cruel to her when they had broken up, why hadn't he just told her the truth? Sure it still would of hurt but at least she probably wouldn't have gone through the " I don't love you" he threw at her.
Just at that thought she shivered, what if he really didn't love her and Kelso had given him an easy way out? Closing her eyes for a second she picked up her pace and sighed, were was he?
Turning another corner, she stopped when she heard her name being called; looking behind her she saw the Vista cruiser pull up and Eric roll down the window.
" Jackie, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at Donna's?"
Looking around the street she walked up to the window and sighed.
" Actually I've been looking for Steven, have you seen him any were?"
Shaking his head, he raised a brow, yah were was Hyde? He hadn't seen the orphan since earlier that day.
" No but do you want a ride? I mean…. Its pretty scary out here"
Thinking for a second, she walked around and got in, not saying anything but just looked out the window.
Driving away, Eric looked at Jackie and as much as he despised her, he felt sorry for her.
" Listen Jackie… Hyde well…. He's.. Complicated ya know?
Seeing her fidget he continued
" Look, Kelso's an idiot ok, he just thought that if you and Hyde weren't together, as unholy as that was, that it would make him feel better I guess. I mean I myself am against just thought of you two but… I've never seen Hyde this depressed"
That got her up, the second she heard depressed she looked at him
" Steven was depressed!"
Yeesh she didn't have to sound so giddy about it, but he nodded his head
" Well ya I mean, I don't know what he said to you but he's been pretty chocked up about, well as chocked up as you can be when your supposedly " Zen"
It must have been the way he said "Zen" cause it got somewhat of a laugh out of her, but kept talking.
" Well anyway he must have had some sort of feelings for you unless he wouldn't be all, ya know.
It was quiet now and just being alone with her was awkward but he managed, stopping at a light. He turned his head and stared out the window completely shocked at what he saw, there across the street was the orphan the girl beside him was looking for but seemed to not notice them on account he was currently occupied with some girls lips.
With his mouth still hanging open slightly, Eric looked beside him at the poor cheerleader who couldn't seem to look away, her eyes instantly filling with tears. Driving away quickly. He stopped a bit down the street and turned to the poor girl sobbing her eyes out.
" Jackie…."
He never got to finish as she put her head on his shoulders and began sobbing, not really knowing what to do. He put an arm around her wondering if it could get any more awkward.
