Authors Note: So this is the shortest chapter i have for this story. And the reason is because this is actually the continuation of chapter 12. 2 reviews isnt bad. Davina reviewed again so that made me smile. Thanks Ashley and Davina you guys are awesome. Neways the song in this chapter is called 'You and Me' and it's by lifehouse. You guys probably remember that song. Anyways this chapter starts out right after the last and goes ahead four weeks. I dont have the next chapter figured out yet. But i'll have it figured out shortly. As always please let me know what you think.
Chapter Thirteen: You and Me
"Uh," Hyde said as he rolled over and grabbed his head, "God damn what'd I do last night, down the entire bar?" He said as he sat up and put his feet on the ground. He looked around the room before noticing that he was naked. "Well…" He said as he got up and looked for any signs of someone else. When he found none he just assumed that one of the guys had gotten him to the room and he'd stripped on his own. He grabbed his clothes and put them on before walking out into the hall.
"Hey man there you are," Travis said as Hyde closed his door.
"Hey man thanks for last night." Hyde said as he buttoned his shirt.
"Thanks for what man?" Travis asked.
"Thanks for getting me to my room last night."
"I didn't…I don't know if I did or not but you're welcome." Travis said as they walked down the hall together.
Four Weeks Later:
"Great job guys that was a great practice; what do you say we call it a night." Hyde said as the guys agreed. Travis and Nate waved at Hyde and Eric as they grabbed their things and left.
"Hey Forman, can I talk to you?" Hyde asked as Eric nodded.
"Sure man what's up?"
"I've decided that I want to be with Jackie."
"Whoa, well it's about time."
"Yeah whatever…anyways you need to get over whatever problems you have with me being with Jackie. Because I want to be with her and I don't want you screwing it up."
"Listen man what happened…I'm over that. It's your life and you can do what you want. I'll stand by you."
"Thanks man." Hyde said as he smiled slightly at Eric.
"So how are you going to do it?"
"Well I've actually got the whole thing planned out but I'm going to need your help." Hyde said as Eric nodded.
"Eric what's going on?" Jackie asked as Eric let her to the studio.
"Listen Jackie Hyde just wants to go over a few tracks with you. He wants to add something but he needs your permission before he does it."
"Fine, but these changes better be awesome. Because I had a whole bunch of movies I wanted to watch tonight."
"It will be I promise." Eric said as he led her to the door.
"Well?" She asked as Eric stopped.
"Go."
"What about you?"
"Oh I don't need to be here. I was just put in charge of getting you here." Eric said before he walked away.
"Weird," She said before she opened the door and walked in.
"What day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time"
Jackie stared at Hyde as he stood in front of her with a guitar in his hands, singing to her. He smiled at her before he continued singing to her.
"Cause it's you and me and all of the people
Nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't why I can't keep my eyes off you
Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of
You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do nothing to prove and
It's you and me and all of the people and
I don't why I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive"
Hyde put down his guitar, walked over to Jackie and took her hands into his. "Jackie Beulah Burkhart, I love you and I want to be with you."
Jackie looked into his eyes and saw all the love he had for her in them and began crying. "Oh god Steven," She said as he pulled her into his arms.
"Jackie what's wrong?"
"Oh god I'm so sorry." She said as she pulled away from him.
"What are you sorry about? Jackie talk to me." Hyde said as he cupped her face in his hands.
"Steven," She said as the tears kept pouring from her eyes, "something happened…something big."
"What happened Jackie?"
"The night of the party…the one you threw for me." She said as she pulled away from him and walked across the room.
"Jackie," he said as he tried to walk towards her.
"No…stay over there…I can't do this if you're holding me…just stay over there." She said as Hyde stopped walking and stayed where he was.
"Fine, what happened?"
"Oh god…Steven we got really drunk, I mean so drunk that god…we slept together Steven…and when I woke up I realized what had happened and I left."
"What?"
"I'm so sorry."
"Jackie…we slept together and you didn't even tell me."
"Steven I didn't know what to do. I was so confused. We'd just gotten on friendly terms and this happened. I didn't plan it."
"But you didn't tell me about it."
"I was going to I just…"
"You know what I don't have time for this. Forget what I said."
"Steven wait-"
"No I'm done with you."
"No stay there's more."
"There's more?"
"I'm pregnant." Jackie said as Hyde looked at her face then down at her stomach.
"You're pregnant?" He asked as she nodded.
"I just found out today."
"Were you even going to tell me?"
"I was going to I just didn't want to do it like this."
"I just….I have to go."
"Steven," Jackie said as he walked out.
Jackie walked into her apartment crying her eyes out and threw her purse to the ground. "What am I going to do?" She said as she put her hands on her stomach. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry." She said as she looked down. She looked around her apartment then picked up her phone and walked into her bedroom. She pulled out her suitcase and set it on the bed, then dialed Donna's number.
"Hello," Donna said as she answered the phone.
"Donna I can't stay here." Jackie said as the tears began to pour again.
"Jackie what happened?"
"I'm pregnant Donna."
"What? With who?"
"With Steven…at the party we got drunk and I woke up the next morning…I left the room right after I figured it out."
"And you didn't say anything to him?"
"I didn't know how. I was going to but then I found out I was pregnant I didn't know what to do."
"Jackie it's been four weeks. How could you do that to him?"
"Donna…"
"Okay what did he say when you told him about the baby."
"He was just mad that I didn't tell him about anything. Donna he doesn't want this baby and he doesn't want me. I went there tonight and he asked me to be his again and I couldn't tell him yes. I couldn't because I had this secret. I can't do this Donna. I can't be here."
"Jackie think about this. Maybe it's because he was mad. Maybe he'll change his mind."
"He wont Donna…I need to go. I'll call you later." She said as she hung up the phone.
"ERIC!" Donna yelled as she quickly threw the phone down and ran upstairs.
Donna walked up the driveway of Hyde's house and beat on the front door. "Hyde I know you're in there so open up." She said as she heard Hyde walk to the door.
"What do you want?" He asked when he'd opened it.
"I need to talk to you."
"Fine," He said as he opened the door all the way and she walked in.
"Hyde I know why you're angry." Donna said as Hyde looked at her.
"You do, do you?"
"Yes…she didn't tell you and I get that you're angry."
"Hell yeah I'm angry. She fucking keeps this huge secret from me. It's not right. I can't believe her. I thought she was different but I guess not."
"Hyde listen to me. She's pregnant with your child and regardless of how that happened you need to be there. You don't want this child to have the life that you had before William found you…do you?"
"No I don't…I just…Donna how could she not tell me?" Hyde said as he sat down.
Donna sat next to him and took his hand in hers. "She was scared…and for the most part I get that. She was going to tell you, but she said she found out about the baby and freaked out. You have to understand that a little."
"I do…I just…how can I trust that she'll tell me things when they happen."
"You have to talk to her."
"I know…"
"And I suggest you do it tonight."
"What?"
"She's leaving…she called me in tears and said she was leaving. She doesn't think you want her or the baby."
"But-"
"Go." Donna said as Hyde got up and ran out the door.
Jackie picked up her bags and carried them to the door. She looked around at her apartment one last time and took a big breathe. She opened her door and dropped her bags to the ground. "Steven,"
"We need to talk."
"Steven I'm-"
"No we're going to talk." Hyde said as he led her back inside.
"But I-"
"Sit." He said as she sat down and he began to pace the room.
"Jackie I love you. You know that as well as anyone. I've never let anyone into my life the way I've let you. And once again you hurt me…and I know you were scared…hell I would have been scared too. But you need to tell me things. I can't not know things. Especially something like this, because this affects both of us. It changed both of us…our relationship changed. And now we're having a baby. Jackie you have to start thinking about this. You have to trust me and tell me things. I can't keep letting you hurt me. I can't do that anymore."
"I'm sorry Steven. I should have told you. I was just so scared that you'd be pissed or push me away and I didn't want that. I didn't want to lose you."
Hyde walked over to the couch and sat next to her. "You'll never lose me Jackie. I need you just as much as you need me. You're only woman I've ever loved."
"I'm so sorry Steven."
"I know doll. Listen…I want to be a part of this child's life…and yours."
"You do?"
"I do."
"It's going to be hard as hell Steven."
"We can handle it."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm more than sure Jackie." Hyde said as he pulled her chin up and kissed her lips.
