Disclaimer: I don't own anything…must I repeat myself?
Hyde was staring at the T.V. in his usual chair in Forman's basement. He couldn't stop thinking about everything that had two weeks ago. Everything had been intense since then and he hadn't seen much of Jackie. He couldn't stop thinking about that night though. How had he woken up with Jackie in his arms, and why had he actually enjoyed it, and was craving to feel her warm embrace around him once again. Then he had made her promise him to not go back to that fucking Chip guy and for some reason she had gone running back to him. The only reason Hyde could think of that made sense was that she was scared, no terrified, of the consequences if she didn't. Didn't she believe Hyde could protect her. Wait, why do you want to protect her? She turned her back on you like everyone else. Is that such a surprise
Hyde grunted in frustration. He would never get used to the fact that he actually had feelings for Jackie, for only god knew why, reason.
Hyde heard the basement door open then and the sounds of someone, or rather, four sets of feet clambering down the stairs.
"Hyde, aren't you supposed to be at work?"
Hyde turned finally to see Donna, Fez, Kelso and Forman (who had directed the question) getting comfortable in there usual seats.
"Day off," he stated and went quit again his Zen now in full force.
"So guess what!" Kelso then stared at everyone with that stupid grin on his face he always had.
"What now Kelso?" Donna asked sighing not really wanting to know what stupid thing her friend had thought of this time.
"I've just figured out that Jackie is actually really hot, and well…come on we all know I'm the hottest guy in Point Place, so I've decided to win her over from that stupid Chip guy!" He full out grinned now.
Hyde cringed at this. Just when Hyde started to have a good thing happening in his life something was there to rip it away. 'Maybe if you can't get Jackie to break up with Chip Kelso can!' He thought to himself but quickly squashed that thought. 'NO, what about if she's pregnant!' The thought of that and that he had just thought about it again now terrified him. If she was though he would do the responsible thing and stick by her side, however Chip would HAVE to be out the picture then. No one was going to hurt Jackie OR their kid! That sounded weird…their kid…best not think like that!
At that moment the girl of all the decision and thoughts came threw the basement door. Her head was down and she was wearing long pants and a long sweater not to mention sunglasses where perched on the top of her face! Hyde didn't like the looks of this.
Jackie instantly strode towards Hyde then with a purpose and looked down at him when she was in front, where she stood, staring at him.
Everyone in the room was watching all of this curiously, just what the hell was going on?
Jackie then quit suddenly threw herself down onto Hyde's lap and buried her face in his chest.
Everyone stared and Donna let out a gasp of surprise. No one was more surprised than Hyde though. He stared down at the tiny girl in his lap, he was completely Zen now, more then he'd ever been before, and when she slowly looked up at him, behind her sunglasses he could see the deep bruises forming.
Not even noticing his arms instinctively went up to wrap around her waist and he pulled her close to him. 'I'm going to kill that bastard if it's the last thing I do!' He promised himself.
Kelso was starting to get mad now though.
"So, what's wrong sweaty?" Kelso asked trying to use his charm now.
Hyde gritted his teeth he knew Kelso was jealous but Jackie didn't need this right now.
Jackie looked up at everyone then and just seemed to realize they were all there. She quickly shot up out of Steven's lap and settled herself down on the floor. Hyde noticed she was still more then close enough to his chair.
This just seemed to aggravate Kelso even more though. He got up and sat beside her on the floor as everyone else watched the scene unfold. He yawned and slowly put his arm around her looking at the T.V.
Jackie looked at him her mouth agape.
"Just what the hell do you think you're doing Kelso?" She angrily spurted out.
He looked down at her and shrugged deciding to leave this battle there was still the rest of the war. As he stood up though he hadn't realized Hyde's foot was sticking out and he tripped starting to fall backwards. He reached out for something to grab and only succeeded in knocking Jackie's glasses off her face. Hyde looked at everyone else in the room. No use in covering it up now. They had seen the wounds of what her boyfriend had left.
"Jackie who did this to you?" Donna asked gently getting up and kneeling beside Jackie.
Jackie stood up though and refused to look at anyone.
"I…I…I fell!" She lied.
Everyone stared back wanting to believe what they knew was a lie.
"Jackie…tell us the truth!" Eric now stood acting way to gentle for Jackie and his relationship.
"This is not funny anymore!" Fez drawled in his weird accent from where ever he came from.
Jackie started back at them all still, feeling trapped. She looked to Steven for help and he had his Zen expression on as usual. They had her backed into a corner.
Hyde looked back at her and couldn't take the trapped look that was haunting her eyes. He slowly stood up and gently replied;
"Jackie, tell them, its o.k. doll!"
She looked at him and stated dully "Chip!"
Gasps where heard again, a particular girly one from Eric.
"He's going to pay!" Kelso spoke now.
"No!" Jackie screamed her hand flew to her stomach without her realizing it and stayed there just below her bell button.
Hyde noticed this and his mouth dropped, he knew what was coming.
"You can't. If any of you do anything he'll hurt me again. I can't take that risk, especially since I'm pregnant with Steven's baby!"
You hate me don't you? Sorry, but I have to end it here….reviews will motivate me to update faster though. Please. See you all soon!
