Chapter 13
Forman Basement
Hyde is sitting in his chair.
Eric walks down the stairs.
Eric: Hey. What are you doing?
Hyde: Watching TV.
Eric: Then shouldn't the TV be on?
Hyde: Whatever.
Eric: Hyde did you have a circle by yourself?
Hyde: No.
Eric: Then what's going on?
Hyde: Nothing man.
Eric: Does this nothing have black hair, stand about 5'3", and be the devil now does it?
Hyde: (unconvincingly) No. And stop calling my girlfriend the devil.
Eric: Fine, but what happened with you two?
Hyde: She loves me.
Eric: I know. And?
Hyde: And what? She loves me man.
Eric: I don't get what you're saying. She loves you.
Hyde: I read her diary and…
Eric: Wait you read her diary? Did she get super mad too?
Hyde: No, I'm smarter than you. I didn't get caught.
Eric: Oh.
Hyde: Anyway, she went on and on about how much she loves me and girly crap like that.
Eric: And?
Hyde: She really does love me.
Eric: Again and?
Hyde: She doesn't think I love her.
Eric: Do you love her?
Hyde: No.
Eric: Wow. Hyde that's kind of harsh.
Hyde: Whatever.
Eric: Well I'm going to see the woman I love.
Hyde: You're such a woman Forman.
Eric exits.
Forman Kitchen a Little While Later.
Hyde is standing in front of the fridge when Kitty walks in.
Hyde: Mrs. Forman can I talk to you?
Kitty: Sure Steven. (She guides him to the table) What do you want to talk to me about?
Hyde: It's about Jackie.
Kitty: (horrified) Oh Steven, is she pregnant?
Hyde: (shocked) NO! God no!
Kitty: (signature laugh) Ok. Shoot.
Hyde: I read her diary.
Kitty: Steven, a diary is a girl's most personal, private thoughts for her eyes only.
Hyde: I know, but I read it and she said she loves me.
Kitty: Of course she does Steven. She's been crazy about you for quite awhile. I even thought she liked you when she was dating Michael.
Hyde smirks a little.
Hyde: Yeah, well…She also wrote that I don't love her.
Kitty: Uh huh.
Hyde: That's it.
Kitty: Have you ever told her you love her?
Hyde: No.
Kitty: Do you love her?
Hyde: (honestly) I don't know.
Red walks into the kitchen as Hyde finishes his sentence.
Red: You don't know a lot of things.
Kitty: Oh Red. We are trying to have a serious conversation here.
Red: Is that loud girl pregnant?
Hyde and Kitty: No!
Red: Ok then.
Kitty: Oh Steven, why don't you talk to Red?
Red: Kitty.
Kitty: Red Forman, Steven needs a man to talk to.
Hyde: Not really, it's not important.
Kitty: Sit! Red Talk to him.
Red: Fine.
Kitty exits.
Red: What is this about?
Hyde: Jackie loves me.
Red: You don't love her?
Hyde: I don't know.
Red: Steven, you're a man now, and men don't talk about their feelings but woman like to hear things about feelings and when you screw up that is the best time to tell them I love you.
Hyde: Ok.
Red: Right, you don't know if you love Jackie. Here are a few signs. She makes you crazy.
Hyde: Huh?
Red: She makes you crazy. And stupid. If you get jealous when other guys are around her. If you feel the need to protect her. If you feel like you've been punched in the stomach every time you're with her, and that feeling is nothing compared to when she leaves.
Hyde: (Zen) Huh.
Red: That help?
Hyde says nothing but nods his head.
Red: Good, now if you tell anyone we had this conversation my foot will be in your ass faster than you can get those three words out.
Hyde: Yes sir.
Forman Basement
Eric and Donna are sitting on the couch.
Donna: Where's Hyde?
Eric: I don't know. Probably off with Yoko somewhere.
Donna: Oh come on. They're good for each other. Jackie isn't as whiney, and Hyde is well happy.
Eric: Yeah, I don't think this is going to last too long though.
Donna: What do you mean?
Eric: Jackie loves him.
Donna: Believe me Eric I know, I've heard enough about it from her. She really cares about him, more than she ever did with Kelso.
Eric: I feel kind of bad for her.
Donna: Why?
Eric: Hyde doesn't love her.
Donna: (surprised) What?
Eric: I asked him today and he said he didn't love her.
Donna: Oh. I have to go.
Donna runs out of the basement and nearly crashes into Hyde.
Donna: Hyde I need to talk to you.
Hyde: (smirking) Donna you had your chance I'm with Jackie now.
Donna: (horrified) Eww! No I need to talk to you about Jackie. She really loves you. A lot. More than she's ever loved anyone before.
Hyde: (Zen) Go on.
Donna: Jackie's my best friend. If you hurt her I'll take away your stash and rip your arm off and beat you with it.
Hyde looks incredibly surprised.
Donna: A vague disclaimer is no one's friend.
Donna leaves. Hyde enters the basement.
Hyde: Forman that is one violent woman you got there. She threatened to rip my arm off and beat me with it.
Eric: That's my lady.
Forman Basement Several Hours Later
Jackie is in Hyde's lap, Donna, Fez, and Eric are on the couch, Kelso is making out with Laurie on the freezer
Fez: Oh run Farrah! Catch that bad guy!
Eric: This is such a great show.
Hyde: (whispering to Jackie) You wanna get out of here?
Jackie smiles and nods. They exit the basement.
Mt. Hump Half an Hour Later
Jackie and Hyde are laying underneath a blanket in the bed of the El Camino
Jackie: Look how beautiful the sky is Steven.
Hyde: Yeah.
Jackie: You're no fun.
Hyde: (smirking) Yes I am, I just don't like star gazing.
Jackie smiles and kisses him.
Burkhart Mansion Two Hours Later
Hyde and Jackie are at her front door kissing.
Jackie: Tonight was wonderful.
She kisses his neck.
Hyde: (moaning) Baby.
Jackie smiles against his neck.
Jackie: Steven do you want to stay with me tonight?
Hyde: I really do, but I can't.
Jackie: (disappointed) Ok.
Hyde kisses her again. After a few minutes they break apart and Jackie rests her head on Hyde's shoulder.
Jackie: (whispering in Hyde's ear) I love you.
Hyde: I know you do.
Jackie: (looking up at him) You know Steven one day that isn't going to be good enough.
Hyde: (sighing) What exactly do you want from me?
Jackie looks at the ground.
Jackie: (quietly) I want you to love me.
Hyde: (angrily) Fine.
Jackie: (angry) What do you mean fine?
Hyde: You want me to love you, then I do since I always do everything you tell me.
Jackie: Shut up Steven! I know you don't love me, ok? (yelling) God! Do you know how much this hurts? To love someone so much and know they don't love you? And they probably never will?
Hyde: Whatever.
Hyde walks away. Jackie is stunned and starts crying.
Jackie's Room Two Hours Later
Jackie is in bed, still crying. Hyde opens her window and climbs in her room.
Hyde: Ok, we need to talk, and by we I mean I'm gonna talk and you're going to shut your pie hole and listen. You haven't done anything wrong. Earlier, I was being an ass. I'm going to tell you some things and you are never going to repeat them to anyone ever again. Understand?
Jackie is stunned but nods her head.
Hyde: Good. I have a handful of people in this world that actually care about me. My parents never loved me and I never let anyone love me, and I definitely never let myself love anyone. Then you come into my world and screw everything up. You make me crazy, and I do stupid things when I'm around you. When I see you with other guys I want to rip their heads off, and I want to do everything in my power to make sure no one ever hurts you. You make me feel so many things I'm not used to feeling and that scares me.
Jackie looks completely shocked at his confession.
Hyde: I don't know how to do things right. I'm a screw up so screwing up is what I'm best at. You should be used to it by now.
Jackie: Steven.
Hyde: (quietly) Jackie, I love you.
Jackie looks at him completely shocked.
Jackie: Please tell me you mean it.
Hyde: (smiling) I mean it.
Jackie throws her arms around Hyde's neck.
Jackie: I love you Steven. (kissing his neck) I love you so much.
Hyde: Good to know. And remember this conversation never happened.
Jackie smiles and pulls Hyde down to the bed.
A/N: Originally I planned on drawing this out for a couple of chapters but this came out instead. I completely ripped off Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the vague disclaimer line, so I don't own it. Don't sue me. I know it was OOC but whatever. Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks!
