Chapter 5

I watched as Kelso sat the G.I. Joe down on the dresser. The look on his face changed from guilt and confusion, to sympathy and confusion. It was a new look for him, but it was a nice thing to see.

"Eric, are you okay?" He asked, unsure if his words were right.

Ah, the famous line used by many. Everyone asks it though they already know the answer. I wasn't sure if it was a question used for reassurance or something else, I guessed, since it was Kelso, that he just didn't know what to say. Like I blame him.

I shook my head and ran my hand through my hair.

"Do you want some water?"

Once again, I shook my head.

"A beer?"

I gave Kelso a light smile, silently thanking him for his concern but I didn't really want to talk, nor did I want to drink. I didn't feel like throwing up any time soon, though it wouldn't make me feel any worse than I do now. I stared at him as he looked around the room, trying to think of something he could do. Something he could say. I don't know what he wanted to say or do, but I could only guess it was an attempt to make me spill the news.

But I didn't want to say anything, nothing. Nothing about Hyde. Nothing about Jackie.

Jackie.

Shit, Kelso's going to be heartbroken. But he has a right to know, right? I can't break it to him like this, then I'd feel like the shit-head of the group and I'd be telling him about Jackie.

I walked over and sat on my bed, kicking my shoes off. He sat next to me, hesitantly speaking. "Um, Eric, I know you're upset about the G.I. Joe but I can buy you a new one, or I could get some glue-"

"Kelso, I'm not upset about the G.I. Joe," I cut him off. I didn't want him thinking I was crying over a stupid action figure. Wait, I was crying? Damn it. In front of Kelso, of all people.

But Kelso seriously thought it was the G.I. Joe. The idiot.

I shouldn't say that, he's a good friend and he's trying to help, but he's helping the wrong problem and I couldn't bare him knowing the real one.

It doesn't matter, he's trying. That alone, can make anyone smile.

"Then…" Kelso started to talk, but he couldn't think of anything to say.

I know he wanted me to say something, but what the hell did he want me to say? Yes, I'm upset. By the way, I hate your girlfriend with a fiery passion. Oh, and she's a skank.

Probably now, but how about;

Hey, Kelso, I caught Jackie and Hyde making out in his room just minutes ago.

Like I could say any of that, I could barely look my friend in the eye.

"Okay, well, if you're not mad about the doll-"

"Action figure," I muttered, trying not to smile at the memories pouring in. When my dad and everyone else said it, and I always correct them. I got teased by most of the group when they found out I still collect them and when they found out I still played with them. I even remember that one day, where Kelso thought I was having a star wars dream and my mom asked if I was playing with my 'dolls'. And as always, I corrected her.

"…Action figure," Kelso grinned. "Then what are you so upset about?" He asked again, and paused. "Where's Hyde? He sleeps in here, right?"

I turned to him, the knot in my throat returning. He stared hard at me.

"Eric, tell me what the hell happened," Kelso frowned. "Damn, you were fine ten minutes ago… You're like, one of my best friends and if you can't tell me what's wrong with you then I-"

"Fine," I sighed, rubbing my temples. "I'll tell you."

"Okay." Kelso waited.

"I have to warn you," I said quietly, gazing at the floor. "You're going to get upset, possibly pissed."

"Why would I get upset?"

"Because, um…"

I sighed once more, and told him. I told him everything. I told him how I knocked on Hyde's door a few times and how no one answered. I told him I walked in and saw Jackie and Hyde. I told him that they didn't stop, they weren't even bothered that I was standing in the doorway. And then I told him how Hyde looked up, and I got nervous, dropped the box and ran.

It was one of the hardest things in my life I had to ever tell anybody.

"…and that's when I ran in and saw you with my G.I. Joe," I said, deciding to look up at him.

He looked just as I predicted. Upset, confused, brow furrowed and frowning like a sad clown. I felt slightly guilty about it, but he had to know. He deserved to know, and not in a bad way. He's a good guy.

I kept my eyes on Kelso as he got up, I can practically see the guy breathing fire and the steps he took uproar into ten inch flames.

"I don't believe it," Kelso said, pacing.

"I'm sorry," I muttered. Kelso sighed and took a minute. I watched as he stood, staring hard at something I didn't see.

I got up just as he turned the door knob.

"Kelso, don't," I ordered as he turned back to me.

"How can you just sit there?" Kelso asked, clearly at an irritated state of mind.

"Easily," I answered. "I don't want to face either of them right now."

"I'm sorry, Eric, but I'm kicking Hyde's ass," He said.

"Then I'll kick your ass." I told him. He stared at me in disbelief. "Look, I know you want to kick his ass right now for kissing Jackie, but it's not going to fix anything."

"That's a load of crap! It will so fix everything," He gave me a look. "Hyde totally cheated on you and your telling me kicking his ass won't fix anything? That was pretty wrong of him."

"Kelso, aren't you pissed about Jackie cheating on you?" I asked, realizing something.

"Not really, I mean, hell- I kind of saw this coming. I used to cheat on Jackie twenty times a day, I still kind of do."

"Then you're pissed at…?"

"Both Hyde and Jackie, and if Jackie were a guy I'd kick her ass but she's a girl! I don't hit girls…" Kelso said, pouting lightly. "I mean, Jackie and you were actually becoming friends, hard to believe, but you guys were."

"…" I stared at him.

"And, like, I don't really want to admit it but you and Hyde were good to each other, Hyde actually smiles now!" Kelso let the door knob go and took a step towards me. "The fact that they did that to you is just wrong."

I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to think. So I stood there, seeing a side of Kelso I've seen rarely before. It was caring, less stupidity was showing and he was now letting the friend in him out. "I… don't know what to say."

"You can say, 'Go Kelso, go!' and let me kick Hyde's ass," He said simply.

"No, Kelso, can we all just talk about this tomorrow. I don't feel like dealing with this at the moment, it's late anyway," I mumbled, crawling into bed and rubbing my face. "It might've been a misunderstanding, somehow."

"Yeah, 'Hey, Forman, I wasn't making out with Jackie, I just fell on her and our mouths were magically glued together. It was the government's glue- it's magical,'" Kelso imitated what he thought Hyde would say.

I shook my head. "Shut up, go to sleep."

"Where do I sleep?" Kelso stared at me. "In your bed?"

"Yeah, NO." I looked around then pointed to an extra pillow lying next to my bed. "Get that pillow and grab a blanket from underneath my bed. You're sleeping on the floor."

He did as I said and scoffed. "Like I'd want to sleep in your bed, anyway."

I laid there and waited for him to settle on the floor. When he was done struggling with the blanket, I leaned over and turned off the light. Not five minutes later did I hear him whisper;

"…Your floor is really comfortable."

At that, I smiled.
