Hyde looked at Kelso with a sigh as Jackie left. "Okay, I'm gonna pull the car 'round; wait in the lobby and I'll come back in and get ya."
"Really?" Kelso smiled. "Thanks, Buddy!"
Hyde nodded. "Uh-huh..." he murmured, walking out quickly, hoping to catch Jackie before she made it to her car...
Jackie walked out of the hospital, and saw Casey Kelso outside, smoking a cigarette.
"You here to see Micheal?" she asked.
"Mikey's here?" Casey asked, confused.
"Fell off the water tower. Again." Jackie smirked. "He's fine; sprained arm."
Casey chuckled. "I swear, he's gotta quit doin' that... he's not gonna have any brain left in his head... not that much was there to begin with..."
Jackie put a hand over her mouth, trying not to laugh. Casey flicked a glance upwards at her. She had filled out in the past couple of years...
"You're 18, right?"
Jackie looked at him, startled by the sudden question. "Um... no. Six months. Why?"
Casey shrugged. "Just makin' conversation..." he said, eyeing her up as he took a long drag of his cigarette.
At this time, Hyde walked out, but Jackie and Casey were off to the side, and had not noticed him yet. He thought it was best if it stayed that way- for now.
"Don't give me that look, Casey, ugh." Jackie huffed. "I'm not interested."
"Oh, yeah, Mikey mentioned you're datin' Hyde or somethin'."
"Or something..." Jackie muttered.
Casey raised an eyebrow.
"Look, we're not really together right now, because he screwed up, because of Micheal, okay? Doesn't matter."
"But, you want the dude, obviously."
"I love him." Jackie admitted softly. "But, even though he's mentioned wanting me back, he really really hurt me..." Jackie said, tears starting to flow down her cheeks. "I mean, he was the person I trusted, the person I felt safest with..."
Hyde, from the shadows, blinked heavily. He did have a lot to make up for... He started towards his car, and suddenly heard a startled "Mmmph!"
He looked over and Casey had Jackie pinned against the wall, kissing her, his hands squeezing and kneading at her breasts, his knee already trying to spread her legs apart. Just that quick. His fists clenched and he started over, but Jackie managed to reach out and claw Casey across the face. He recoiled, his hands going up defensively, and she punched him in the chest, hard, before kicking him in the kneecap.
"What the hell, Casey!" She yelled, huffing and panting.
Casey, half bent over. "Sorry... you seemed all venerable, and that's usually when a woman likes a little 'comfort'-"
"Oh, you're a pig! Just... never, never touch me again!" she yelled, stomping off towards her car.
Hyde smirked a bit. "That's my badass girl..." he thought to himself. But, then the only thought racing through his brain, pounding at him, was that this guy was touching his Jacks... Filthy paws on his sweet, innocent little dollface... Hyde growled, walking over to Casey, tapping him on the shoulder.
"Oh, hey, Hyde-"
But, that's as far as he got, because Hyde hit him across the jaw so hard he heard it crack, knocking the much taller man out cold. Mrs. Foreman walked out with Kelso, looking down in horror.
"Steven what happened to poor Casey?" she demanded shrilly.
"Ah... he fell. Yeah... you might wanna get his head x-rayed... ready to go, Kelso?"
Kelso shrugged, walking off with Hyde towards the car...
Yeah, he wasn't gonna give up on her that easily...
