Last Chapter: "Okay, I forgive you," She joked. I smirked and felt suddenly tired. Donna noticed and slipped out of the room quietly.
Default: I don't own That 70's show or anything else I talk about in my story. Although, Lena is an original character of mine!
I was left alone for a while to think. I thought about Lena, and why she cheated. Was I just not the best person to her? I racked my brain for all the times I had disrespected her, or made her feel bad, in my opinion. I laid there for what felt like an eternity and the only reason I could come up with for why Lena felt the need to be with Kelso, was that I wasn't a good enough boyfriend.
I felt that I had tried really hard to make her happy. I guess I could've tried a bit harder, and listened more. I also could've cut back on the amount of insults I let out towards everyone. I cringed at all the thoughts of every time I had blown off an agreed arrangement with Lena.
A deep sigh resonated out of me as I tried to sit up. The drugs were still making me drowsy, which made the room spin slightly. I shuffled to the door and gripped the handle tightly. It swung open and I paused. I stared into the eyes of someone I thought I would never see again.
"Hey," She whispered. I grasped the wall for balance and nodded at Jackie. She smiled sadly and I wanted to give her hug, but didn't. I knew someone would see and word spreads quickly in Point Place.
"I met your girlfriend," she said. I watched her. She was fighting to look happy and what for? Me? I didn't understand why she had to act okay in front of me because I had just learned about her life's history. More than I had learned about Lena in three months!
"She's not my girlfriend," I informed her. Jackie looked surprised but I saw a little bit of shine in her eyes. It made me happy and I felt lighter and less in pain. Jackie stepped into my room and walked around me.
"I thought you said…" She started but I cut her off. I didn't remember telling her about Lena, but maybe she was psychic and knew everything about me. The thought scared me and I pushed it away for how random it was. I knew she wasn't psychic. Women just have this ability to sense things about a man. Whether we want them to or not.
"She's not my girlfriend…anymore," I added. Jackie nodded and sat down at the edge of my bed. She smoothed the blanket down around her and tucked her legs up. I watched her and stumbled my way over to where she was and sat down at the other end. I was sitting on top of a pillow and being unbalanced was making me uncomfortable. I laughed nervously and reached under myself and pulled out the pillow, setting it in the chair next to my bed.
Jackie smiled and I felt myself smile back at her. I felt like something was missing, like there should be someone else in the room. I couldn't think of who it was and my thoughts were leading in to an awkward silence. I glanced at Jackie and then towards the ceiling and then back at Jackie before it hit me on who was missing.
"Where's Alexis?" I asked. Jackie looked at me astonished like I shouldn't even be asking such a question. I wondered if maybe it was the wrong thing to say. Jackie eyed me before smiling and scooting around on the bed to face me.
"She's with my friend. I've known her almost my whole life," Jackie informed me. I had a small twinge of uneasiness that I didn't know where it came from. Jackie watched me as I hesitated and she placed her hand on mine. I looked up at her and smiled slightly.
"You don't have to worry about us Steven," She said. I thought to myself about why I was worrying about them in the first place. I'd only met them yesterday and they were my life. It scared my at how attached I was becoming to them and at how little an influence I was in their lives.
