Chapter Three: Everything We Had
Present Day-
The crowd quieted down as a single voice filled the air and the curtain rose. Hyde sat on a single stool with a guitar in his hands, while the rest of the band played quietly behind him.
You were the only face I'd ever known.
I was the light from the lamp on the floor,
And only as bright as you wanted me to be.
But I am no gentleman; I can be a prick,
And I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
Everything we had, everything we had
Is no longer there.
It was the only place I'd ever known.
Turned off the light on my way out the door.
I will be watching wherever you go,
Through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
Everything we had, everything we had
Is no longer there, longer there.
Well, you saw for yourself, the way it played out.
For you, I am blinded.
For you, I am blinded, for you.
I am no gentleman, I can be a prick.
And I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
(You have been followed, you have been followed.)
Everything we had, everything we had.
(You have been followed, you have been followed.)
Everything we had, everything we had,
(You have been followed, you have been followed.)
Everything we had...
I'll be with you wherever you go,
Through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
The crowd went crazy and Hyde lowered his head to hide the tears that had come to his eyes during the song. Music was the only way he expressed what was going on within himself and he knew that wasn't exactly healthy, but it was how he worked. He looked up and tried to find Jackie, only to find her still gone. He sighed then stood up and began playing the beginning of the next song.
Jackie walked off the bus and stared out into the night sky. She'd made a lot of mistakes in her life. But the one she regretted more than anything was the mistake she'd made with Kelso. She regretted it not only because of what happened between her and Steven, but what happened to Steven afterwards. 'I'm the reason you're like this,' Jackie thought to herself as she listened to his voice as he sang 'Everything We Had', 'I ruined you, but I promise you I'll fix it. I'll fix everything.' She vowed to herself before she walked back towards the building.
2005-
"Guys!" Jackie yelled as she ran into the garage two days later.
Hyde looked up from his guitar and smiled as he set it down. "What's up doll?" He asked as he pulled her towards him.
"We got another gig." Jackie said as she leaned up and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend.
"Really?" Eric said as he stood up and walked over to the couple.
"Yeah," Jackie said as she handed the paper to Eric then kissed Hyde, "It's in Chicago, but I figured we would commute for this."
"What's the gig for?" Kelso asked.
"Oh just a talent show for a record executive," Jackie said as Fez and Kelso shook their heads.
"Jackie we don't do talent shows for record executives…wait," Kelso said as Hyde too caught onto what she'd just said.
"Jackie are you telling me that we're playing for a record label?" Hyde asked as he stared at her.
"Yes baby, that's what I'm telling you. It's happening Steven, it's really happening."
Hyde picked up Jackie as she squealed.
"I cant believe this." Eric said as he sat down behind his drums.
"I know man this is big." Kelso said as he stared at Fez.
"This is it guys," Hyde said as he set down Jackie, "if we can impress them enough we can get a record label and become what we always dreamed of becoming."
Jackie smiled as she watched Hyde talk to the guys, she loved him so much and yet it always felt like something was missing. "Steven,"
"Yeah doll?" Hyde said as he turned to her.
"What are we going to play?"
"Oh um, damn I don't know…we'll think of something, whens the gig?"
"In two weeks." Jackie said as Hyde looked at the guys.
"Alright well let's get to work people."
Present Day-
"Alright for this next song we'd like to bring out an old member of the band. She's going to play her keytar for you guys. Everyone give a big welcome to Jackie!" Eric said as Jackie walked out on the stage and smiled at the crowd.
"Hey thanks Eric. It's great to be here guys. Alright are you ready Hyde?" Jackie asked as Hyde kept his back turned to her but gave her the thumbs up. Jackie frowned but began playing the beginning anyway.
"This song belongs to our good friends, fall out Boy, and we're playing it for them tonight as a thanks. So enjoy!"
I'm a stitch away
From making it
And a scar away
From falling apart
Apart
Blood cells pixelate
And the eyes dilate
And the full moon pills got me out on the street at night
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
Oh
Put love on hold
Young Hollywood
Is on the other line
A nose runs ruby red
Death's in a double bed
Singing songs that could only catch
The ear of the desperate
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
Could it loose
I'm a stitch away
From making it
And a scar away
From falling apart
Apart
Blood cells pixelate
And the eyes dilate
Kiss away how it feels and kills on the mouths of all my friends
Could it loose
Watch you work the room
loose
Watch you work the room
Could it loose
(Watch you work the room)
(I'm a stitch away)
The crowd cheered as Jackie took a bow then left the stage. Hyde watched her walked away as the emotions that had come over him and the memories that haunted his dreams disappeared and were slowly replaced by nothing but emptiness.
2005-
Hyde sat on the couch in his living room trying to watch a special on the stones but the whole time all he could think about was Jackie. He wanted to make her happy and he thought was he was doing a fairly good job of that. But ever since her little comment about their future, it had stirred a feeling inside of him that he couldn't shake. A feeling that just maybe he hadn't made her as happy as he thought he was.
"Hey Hyde," Donna said as she walked in and sat down beside him.
"Hey big Red can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure." Donna said as she took the remote and shut off the tv.
"Do you think I make Jackie happy?"
Donna looked at her friend and sighed. "Sometimes,"
"What? Sometimes?"
"Hyde it's really complicated."
"No it isn't Donna. Do I make her happy?"
"Yeah you do but, being happy that fades. Especially if the relationship isn't moving in the right direction."
"Oh," Hyde said as he stared at the T.V.
"Hyde I know you love her. But you have to think about her. She might not be happy just being your girlfriend for the rest of her life."
"I know that. That's why I've been thinking about asking her to marry me."
"What?"
"I mean she mentioned it so what hell I'll just do it to make her happy."
"Steven J. Hyde you are not going to ask her to marry you just to make her happy."
"What?" Hyde said as he stared at Donna.
"I forbid it."
"What? Why?"
"Because that's not what she wants. And it's not what you want. You have to want to marry her Hyde. You can't just marry a person to make them happy. That doesn't work. God you're such an idiot." Donna said as she stood up and left the room.
Hyde watched her leave as he thought about what she'd said. "I'll just talk to Eric about it." Hyde said as he got up and went to find his brother.
"Hey man you busy?" Hyde asked as he opened Eric's bedroom door.
"Nope just sitting here what's up?" Eric asked as Hyde walked in.
"I've been thinking about something and I want your opinion on it."
"Alright what's up?"
"The other day I told Jackie that you were going to ask Donna to marry you and she started talking about our future. And it got me thinking about whether or not I make her happy."
"Yeah…"
"And I realized that maybe I don't. You know maybe I'm only making her slightly happy. What if just being her boyfriend isn't enough? What if maybe it's time I gave her more."
"Do you want to as her to marry you or something?"
Hyde began pacing around the room as he tried to figure out what to tell Eric. "I think I might, but I'm not sure that I want to get married. When did you first know that you wanted to marry Donna?"
"I knew I wanted to marry Donna at my parents' funeral."
"What? Dude you were like 8."
"I know, but that's the truth. The way she took care of me and helped me find a place to live. I knew that she was all I wanted."
"So you've known for a while then?"
"Yeah pretty much…can I ask you something?"
"Sure," Hyde said as he stopped pacing.
"When did you realize that you loved Jackie?"
Hyde looked out the window. "Man I don't want to…god Forman."
"No man, if you cant answer this question then I don't think you have any business at all thinking about marriage."
Hyde sighed then looked back at Eric. "I knew I loved her when she stood up for when I almost got kicked out of school."
"I figured. Now take that memory and think about it, and all the other good things she's ever done for you. Could you live your life without any of that? Could you live without any of those feelings or those moments ever again? Could you live your life without her?"
Hyde shook his head. "No, I couldn't live my life without her. I'd fall apart."
"Then you know what you want to do. You just have to believe in it."
"Thanks man," Hyde said as he stood up.
"No problem, just don't hurt her okay?"
"I thought you hated her, something about her being the devil."
"Yeah, but I still don't want to see her get hurt." Eric said as Hyde nodded then left the room.
Two Weeks Later
"Oh my god I'm so nervous." Jackie said as she paced back and forth in the dressing room.
"Calm down Jacks it'll be alright." Hyde said as he grabbed her shoulders.
"I'm just so nervous Steven." Jackie said as she fell into her boyfriends arms.
"I know baby, but you're getting everyone else nervous too."
"Oh, sorry…Steven can I stay like this until we go on?" Jackie asked as she looked up at Hyde.
"Sure, you can, but I'm kind of wondering why?"
"Because I feel safer like this, you scare away the butterflies in my stomach."
"Okay doll." Hyde said as he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"The High, you guys are next." Danny, the talent manager said as he opened the door.
"Alright guys this is it." Hyde said as they all got up and started walking out.
"Whatever happens just remember that we're out there doing what we love." Eric said as everyone nodded and Jackie pulled away from Hyde.
"Are you ready doll? We're doing your number first."
"Yeah I'm ready. Let's do this Steven." Jackie said as they heard their band being introduced.
"Hey guys thank you for coming out tonight. We're going to kick things off with a new song. It's called Wine Red." Hyde said as Jackie stepped up and began singing. (A/N: Jackie is the bold this time and Hyde is the italics and the bold italics are them together.)
Who shot that arrow in your throat?
Who missed the crimson apple?
It hung heavy on the tree above your head
This chaos, this calamity, this garden once was perfect
Give your immortality to me; I'll set you up among the stars
Gloria,
We lied, we can't go on
This is the time and this is the place to be alive
Who shot that arrow in your throat?
Who missed the crimson apple?
And there is discord in the garden tonight
The sea is wine red
This is the death of beauty
The doves have died
The lovers have lied
I cut the arrow from your neck
Stretched you beneath the tree
Among the roots and baby's breath
I covered us with silver leaves
Gloria,
We lied, we can't go on
This is the time and this is the place to be alive
The sea is wine red
This is the death of beauty
The doves have died
The lovers have lied
The sea is wine red
This is the death of beauty
The doves have died
The lovers have lied
The sea is wine red (Gloria, we lied)
This is the death of beauty (we lied, this is the time and place)
The doves have died (Gloria, we lied)
The lovers have lied (this is the time and place)
The crowd cheered as Jackie took a bow. Hyde watched her from the corner of his eye as she smiled and took in the applause. She loved this and he loved her. "Alright guys that was Jackie with her first song of the night, next we're going to do one of our favorites." Hyde said they began playing the next song.
Present Day-
"You guys have been a wonderful crowd. This is our last song for tonight, it's one of our new ones, and it's called, World Spins Madly On."
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
And let the world spin madly on
Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on
I thought of you and where you'd gone
And the world spins madly on.
Hyde waved one last time to the crowd before walking off the stage. He took a quick look at Jackie was standing in the corner looking out at the crowd and for a second he wanted to go to her. "Are you coming man?" Travis called out to Hyde who nodded and followed him away from Jackie.
Jackie turned around and watched Hyde walk away as a tear fell from her eyes.
2005-
"Oh my god that was amazing." Jackie said as they ran off stage.
"Hell yeah you were great doll." Hyde said as he pulled her to him.
"Yeah Jackie you were awesome." Eric said as he smiled at Jackie then went to find Donna.
"Excuse me; my name is Jack Marshall I'm with island records. Could I have a moment of your time?" the man asked as he walked over to Hyde.
"Uh yeah sure." Hyde said as he motioned for Eric to come back.
"Thank you. You guys were great out there. You have a very unique sound that one of our bands loves."
"One of your bands?" Kelso asked.
"Yes, they'd like you to come on tour with them for a few months."
"Are you serious? What band?" Hyde asked.
"Fall out boy."
"Oh my god, Steven fall out boy wants us to come on tour with them. Can you believe it?" Jackie said as she jumped up and down.
"After the tour is done we'd like to get you guys in the studio. We want you to make a record."
"Oh my god." Fez said as he passed out.
"Are you serious?" Hyde asked as Kelso tried to wake Fez up.
"Son, we never kid about these things. So do we have a deal?"
"Hell yeah you have a deal. Where do we sign and what do we do?"
"Well meet with you tomorrow to sort out the details. We'll meet here at noon." Jack said before he walked away.
"Oh my god we just got a record deal." Eric said as he stared at the ground.
"Hey guys what's going on? What happened to Fez?" Donna said as she walked over to the group.
"Donna we just got a record deal." Jackie said as she ran over to her best friend.
"Oh my god are you serious?"
"Yeah and we're going on tour with fall out boy." Eric said as he walked over to Donna.
"Oh my god Eric, but what about the wedding?"
"We'll figure it out Donna. I promise." Eric said as Hyde pulled Jackie over to him.
"Are you okay doll?"
"I'm fine Steven, I'm just really excited." Jackie said as she hugged Hyde.
"Alright well let's head back to the hotel. Kelso can you manage Fez?"
"Yeah we'll meet you there." Kelso said as the others began walking away.
"Damn Fez you really need to stop eating candy." Kelso said as he carried Fez out the door.
