Jackie stood outside the basement door listening. She could hear the TV and someone laughing every few minutes. She was trying to work out if their was more then one person there and, if there wasn't, if the person inside was Hyde. She wasn't sure she could deal with seeing him right now. She was pretty sure he was stalking her. He'd been by her house 3 more times since last week, had called her 10 times, left her messages 10 times and kept giving her these lost puppy looks every time they were in the same room. And he knew he was doing it to because he would purposely take off his glasses to do it. It just didn't make any sense they'd been split for over a year now she'd excepted it why couldn't he.
Hyde could hear her. She kept shuffling. He was hoping she'd take the risk and just open the door. He knew she was scared of him being in here alone because it meant if she came in they'd be alone together. He on the other hand would be thrilled to get her alone. The others were starting to look at him like he was crazy because of his romantic, completely SANE, pursuit of Jackie. His plan wasn't working out so great. He'd go to her house, she wouldn't open the door. He'd call and she wouldn't answer. He'd give her his best puppy eyes that always broke her before and she'd glare. He missed the day's when those eyes would bring Jackie to her knees. Why did she have to go and toughen up. Why did he have to give her cause to toughen up. It sucked. It sucked plain and simple. What made it even in worse was the guys now knew so he couldn't go a day without hearing "Hyde and Jackie sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g". It had led to him melting one of erics G.I. Joes and steeling Fez's candy. Kelso didn't know yet because he was with Brouke and only came by on weekends. He almost wished he would show up so he could punch something. Fez would cry if he hit him and Donna would kill him if he touched her future husband. He stoped willowing in his own self pity at the sound of the door opening. And there she stood looking as gorgous as ever. And then she ruined it by turning to leave.
"Crap he it was him, why couldn't he have been at his store, bastard" Jackie silently cursed. She turned to go as soon as she saw him. "Jackie wait, you can't just pretend i'm don't have feelings, you can't come in and leave because that is just cruel, I don't know what I need to do to get a chance at your forgiveness but I'm trying" "Hyde this isn't going to be fixed by some attention now, we've been broken up for a year, you got married, I moved on and I'm doing good right now and I don't need you and this pyschotic pursuit of me to mess that up!" " Doing good, doing good, have you looked in the mirror lately, or listened when you talk you are not okey, your not yourself" "no I am, I've just grown up maybe you should try it sometime" and then she ran. It scared her that he'd noticed. No one was supposed to tell she was having problems. No one was ment to be able to read her like that especially Steven Hyde. I didn't make any sense. Just like it made no sense that when she got home she pulled the zepplin t-shirt on and cried herself to sleep with his smell in her nose.
And across town Steven Hyde was locked in his room eyes wide open. And trying to convince him self he still had a chance no matter how upset she was. He had to still have a chance.
