Thank you so much to the people who reviewed! I was so scared everyone would hate it (I have some self esteem issues). Ok, I didn't think people would like it so much so I hope this chapter is just as good. The point of view changes a lot in this chapter, sorry if it gets confusing. I have no idea where I'm going with this so bear with me.

Disclaimer: I still don't own That 70s Show and if I did I would be ashamed of the way it was massacred by the eighth season.

Chapter 2

Previously… Hyde didn't usually like surprises. But walking into his room to see Jackie glaring at him like she always did, the anger as apparent as always in her voice was the greatest surprise he had ever had.

"Steven. We need to talk."

Hyde didn't know what to say. "About what?" By the look on her face, he had a feeling that wasn't the right choice.

Jackie gaped at him. Had he always been this stupid? "Hmmm. Well. How about the fact that you're a stupid asshole, that subject should last us awhile!" Jackie's anger grew with every second he stood there, looking so zen she could kill him. "I came back here hoping to see you so we could talk, not to stare at each other for a few seconds before you ran off to Chicago with Michael. I had to make Donna to tell you I was back in New York just to get you to come back this soon. God, you are such an idiot!"

She was pissed, that much was obvious. He tried to focus on what she was saying and not at the way her eyes were lit up, and how her hair was falling against her shoulders.

"What are you staring at? And why the hell are you smiling at me! I here to yell at you, you dillhole, a lot and I'm probably gonna hit you, too."

"Hey, what do you have to be so angry about?" Hyde burst out. "I didn't do anything, you're the one that broke up with me. You don't get to come here and tell me I've been a jackass and blame me for your suffering, all right?"

"I do get to blame you because it's your fault!" Jackie yelled, kicking him in the shin. She smiled as he yelped in pain.

"My fault?" he said from his knees. "You were the one who was constantly on my back about marriage and presents and how much of a jerk I was. You should be happy we're not together anymore since you made it clear I was never good enough for you."

Jackie didn't say anything. She was too shocked. He thought he wasn't good enough for her? Where the hell did he get that idea? She only pestered him because he had so much potential and he was (literally) letting it go up in smoke.

"What the hell are you talking about?" she said more quietly.

"You know," he said as he stood up, "what I'm talking about. All you ever wanted was some rich country club guy to tell you he loved you, take you off on a honeymoon in Europe and come back to huge mansion and have three kids and live happily ever after. You knew I would never be that guy, Jackie, but you kept pushing me and trying to turn me into him, but it doesn't work that way."

"I never wanted that guy and I never wanted you to change-!" Jackie stopped and took a deep breath. "I didn't come here to fight, okay, I just wanted to talk to you."

"About what?" Hyde repeated. He watched her take a deep breath and braced himself. She was still for a long time.

"Why didn't you try?" She looked at the ground as she asked the question, then peeked up at him quickly through her hair. Hyde watched in fascination as a tear clung to her eyelashes, hovering there for such a long time before falling to the ground. He looked up at her again, but her eyes were dry and her gaze was piercing. Hyde tried to think of something to say, but the emotion that seemed to be seeping out of her pores was distracting him. How could one person possibly feel this much?

Jackie waited. It was all she ever seemed to do for him.
"You were so perfect." She started, surprised he was answering. "You could see things in me even I didn't know were there, and it just-" he stopped and tried to find the right words. She was silent. "Everyone else gave up on me and I guess I was waiting for you to do the same."

With that, Jackie shook her head and sighed before closing the space between them with two long steps and pulled his head down to hers, filling the emptiness both of them had been carrying for too long, with a kiss that took both their breaths away.

I know this chapter was kinda short and I'll try to update asap. Jackie gets a little violent in the next chapter for those of you who think Hyde should be punished. Hehe.
