"It's Eric."

Jackie hated the way Hyde always tried to hide his emotions. When they were in high school, he was being Zen, but now she understood that it was his way of protecting himself. His eyes were a dead giveaway though. She could always read his eyes, which was the reason she was always taking off his sunglasses. Now that she finally had gotten her guilty confession of her chest, Jackie looked into Steven's eyes to find his reaction. In the few seconds after she voiced her secret, Jackie saw so many things in his eyes, all of which broke her heart. Hurt, sadness, pain, confusion, jealousy, and anger all flashed through his eyes, clouding over the bright blue and making them stormy. Finally she knew he had settled with anger.

"Well isn't that charming." His words oozed with scorn. "You decided to play house with Foreman, the man who broke your best friend's heart without one look back. Tell me Jackie, how does it feel to play with two people's hearts? Did you like the feeling of knowing you could crush someone at a moment's notice? Do you enjoy making a man feel like an idiot for loving you?"

"Eric doesn't….." she began her defense, but was immediately cut off.

"I wasn't talking about him." The calm statement made Jackie's head jerk up to look at Hyde, who still had his arms on the banister behind her, trapping her in between them. As she looked into his eyes, she saw his love pouring through them. He loved her, something she never thought would happen. She had always loved him from the time they were in high school, but even with their present relationship, she had never thought he would feel the same about her. She just assumed she was a sex buddy or something to that nature. Jackie felt the sick feeling in her stomach grow much bigger then it already was.

Hyde saw it. He saw the look in her eyes, he saw the sick look come over her face. He knew his own face mirrored hers because he also had a huge sick feeling in his stomach. He loved Jackie. He had never allowed her to get close before, he had never allowed her to know what he was feeling, but now he knew that she did. It was written all over him and he let it be. He didn't know how she felt before now, they always kept whatever they were feeling to themselves. But he knew now that she had the same feelings towards him that he had for her. The look on her face and the love in her eyes said it all. He bent his head down and placed a small kiss on her lips.

"I'll end it for you." The simple statement that came from Jackie's lips was barely above a whisper, but it made Hyde shudder. Her wide eyes looked up at him pleading with him to say something. He couldn't. He couldn't tell her not to marry Eric and give up a life he wasn't even sure he could give her. Damn it! He wanted to so badly. He wanted her to give it all up for him, but he wouldn't ask her to.

"Let's not do this right now. We'll talk about it later."

"He's coming here tomorrow. Will you go with me to pick him up?"

Hyde nodded that he would, even though he felt sick again at the prospect of seeing Jackie and Eric together. Life was cruel sometimes. Why couldn't everything been easy? Hyde felt her moving closer to him and reaching up to kiss his neck. The feeling of her lips on his skin felt good, it was everything that he wanted, but he couldn't have it now. Her lips started to feel like they were burning his skin. Her betrayal still too fresh on his mind to enjoy her. The more Jackie kissed her way up Hyde's neck the more it burned and the more it burned the angrier he got. He wanted her badly, but all he felt was anger. He pushed her away, but took her arms and locked them above her head with his hand and started kissing her so hard she thought she might suffocate. He pushed her against the wall of the house still holding her arms and smothering her lips with angry kisses.

He knew he shouldn't have been doing this, but he couldn't stop. He ripped his shirt off of her and pulled her legs so that they were wrapped around his waist and pressed her even harder into the wall. Her heard her gasp in surprise and pressed himself even harder into her. He was angry and he wanted her to know it.

Jackie felt how angry he was . She knew she should stop him, but she couldn't. Instead she let all of her own emotions take over. Her sadness, her love, her guilt, even her own anger went into the kisses she placed own his bare chest and neck. She felt his body stiffen as he slipped inside of her with her naked body pressed against the brick wall of the house. She saw his jaw clench as he rammed inside of her. She felt pain as her body slammed over and over again into the wall behind her. She felt her own tears slipping down her face as he fucked her. She saw his tears as she felt him shudder during his release.

They both collapsed after he was calm enough to release her. Both wiping the trail of tears that had ran down their faces. They stayed wrapped in each others arms for what seemed like hours. Finally Jackie decided they were both better and it was time to get up.

"I have to pee." Hyde grunted amused and unwrapped his arms from hers. She made her way inside to the bathroom after pulling his shirt back on. After emerging from the bathroom, Jackie saw Hyde sitting on the couch and went into the kitchen to grab them both a beer.

Hyde looked up when Jackie went into the kitchen. He caught a glimpse of her back and let out a gasp. He saw blood forming on the back of the white shirt she was wearing. He got up and walked after her, grabbing her arm and turned her around to inspect her back. He heard her let out a gasp in pain as he lifted up the shirt. He too wanted to let out another gasp when he saw what he had done to her. Deep cuts filled her back. Dry blood was everywhere.

"I'm so sorry." Hyde cried, reaching around her to wet a cloth that was on the counter. Silently he cleaned the wounds he had given her, letting her cry in his shoulder as he did. After they were done they clung to each other, both knowing this was probably the last night they had together.
