They were kissing at the bottom of the stairs totally exposed, but luckily no one came down. Then Jackie pulls away confused.
"Steven have you been drinking?" Jackie remarked.
"Of course not, I am just a little bit doozey at the moment."
"Oh yea you sure are doozey" she said to herself.
"What?" he said shyly.
"Oh nothing… Just the fact that you come down here, drunk. How the hell did you get home huh? I hope it wasn't driving. Then you come down here and just start kissing me for no reason and well you just can't go running around doing that…" she rambled.
"Jackie!" Hyde yelled.
"No you know what. No I'm going upstairs and forgetting all of this happened because you're drunk and 'doozey'." She started to say.
He grabbed her. "Ok I maybe drunk, but I'm not stupid. I know what I did and well I figured it was better than talking. In fact a lot better than talking." He grinned then rubbed his lips.
"No your stupid and… drunk. I'm leaving." She got loose and started to walk up.
"Hey?" he grabbed her again. "If you really hated it? Why didn't you stop me?" Hyde asked.
"I didn't have time to react." She snorted at him.
"You had plenty of time." He smiled.
"You're delusional. Talk to me when you're sober… Oh wait that's impossible because you never are." She walked up leaving a confused Hyde down in the basement.
"There's my goddess." Fez said as Jackie walked through to the living room. "Where did you go?" he asked.
"I just went to… make a drink in the kitchen." She lied.
"Then where is it." Kelso asked.
"Uhm…" she looked around "I started to drink it, then the cheering scared me and I dropped it." She said as she nodded.
Minutes passed Jackie was sitting on the couch depressed. Everyone was just having a good time not noticing her. She was angry that she wasn't the center of the lives, but she was happy so people wouldn't be asking her why she was sad. She didn't even know why, but her heart did.
"Where's Steven? I completely forgot about my baby." Kitty asked.
"Mom!" Eric squealed.
"Oh dear… you're here." Kitty answered being smart.
"Yea, why can't you leave?" Red said. Eric just starred at his 'caring' parents.
Jackie her face looked up hearing that name. Right now she hoped he'd go fall of a cliff. She kept trying to convince herself she wanted that, but it wasn't working. She felt someone sit next to her. It was Fez.
"He wasn't in the basement when we were down there." Kelso said.
"Yea he missed the best circle ever!" Fez argued.
"Fez, No!" Eric spit out.
"Circle eh? Must be more of that dumbass lingo these kids use now-a-days." Red muttered.
"Now Red I'm sure the kids don't think it's stupid, Right kids?" Kitty said then laughed.
"I don't know mom it's pretty stupid." Eric answered. "For once I agree with Red."
Red laughed "See son you're not a complete dumbass." Eric faked smiled as Red patted his back.
"Well then why don't you kids go down to the basement and have a little mini party down there." Kitty gathered them and laughed awkwardly. "Let the grown ups have there party. Mrs. Kitty needs a drink."
+_+_++_+_+_+_+_++-=- They left for the basement.
"For a minute I thought Red's foot was going to be riding our asses." Kelso said.
"Yea, thanks to Fez." Jackie said.
"Fez you are such a blabber mouth." Donna helped.
"Yea well, I'm just glad we don't call it… Hyde?" Eric froze looking at Hyde who was past out on the couch. Hyde slowly got up and put his glasses on.
"What?"
"Where were you, Red actually complemented me." Eric said taking a seat on the couch.
"Yea to busy being drunk I suppose" Jackie sassed at him.
"I'm sorry I can't be drunk in front of little miss princess. Its New Years maybe I'm just celebrating." Hyde answered back and she gave him a dirty look.
"Well then it must be New Years every night!" She argued.
"God will you to stop fighting it gives me needs." Fez said. "Jackie would you like to assist me." Fez tried to seduce her again. It never worked every time he tried it just made it grosser and grosser to Jackie.
"You know what." Starring right into Hyde's eyes "Let's go Fez." She grabbed his arm and took him out. Knowing if Hyde really cared it would crush him.
"Ewww." Donna and Eric both said.
"Yea Fez is my best friend, but this is too weird." Kelso said as he sat down. Donna looked at Hyde.
"Wow Hyde you look like your going to kill someone." Donna laughed then turned serious as Hyde's face stayed the same. "Wait are you?"
"Whatever." Hyde crossed his arms and lay back in his chair. That girl knew how to push his buttons.
"Hey Donna can I use your house for my fireworks." Kelso asked.
"No Dill hole! Just blow them up outside." Donna yelled at him.
"But Donna it's illegal here and they've already given me warnings." Kelso begged.
"Kelso! Houses aren't for fireworks!" Donna said.
"Please" Kelso whined like a little kid.
"Get bent" she argued back at him.
"Fine!" Angry Kelso left the basement.
Fez and Jackie went to the Hub. Jackie was drinking her milkshake.
"Man I thought I was going to get some." Fez argued. "Why did you say you were going to put out?"
"I didn't say I was, I said 'Common Lets go'" She made her point with him and continued drinking her milkshake.
"This is the most boring relationship ever." Fez complained.
"Get used to it." She bickered at him. Fez face got completely serious.
"Ok Jackie this" he makes his hand go back and forth. "Is not working out"
"Fez! What no I need you."
"Yea, to make Hyde Jealous. It's to obvious Jackie. The stare downs, the fighting, You know I'm beginning to think that this fighting is your way of flirting with each other. I've got news for you if you want to make him jealous you should probably corrupt Kelso. He would get so pissed off." Fez stands up and giggles a bit. "Now I say good day."
"Good day." Jackie rolls her eyes.
"What no that is my line. Now you are taking my lines! I say good day… again!" He leaves.
"Wow I got dumped by a foreigner. Why does my life suck, I'm to perfect for my life to suck." She continued talking to herself until she felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Donna.
"Uhm Jackie who are you talking to." She raised her eye brow.
"What… uh nobody I guess. Unless…" she made a puppy dog face.
"Okay." Donna sat down regretting tapping her shoulder. "So what's wrong?" Donna crossed her legs and acted like a therapist.
"Well life has been horrid. Just like when that stripper first came. I hit rock bottom and stayed there." Jackie spilled out.
"So is this about Hyde or not." Donna spit out.
"Donna! No… well I guess kind of, but it also that now everyone hates me and well Michael moved to Chicago. He's the only one I can trust to be there." Jackie explained.
"Wow. So you like Kelso again. Jackie no wonder you hit rock bottom and what about Fez he looked pretty pissed when I saw him walking down the road yelling in his native language." Donna asked.
"He broke it off…"
"Wait… he did?" Donna laughed. "I'm sorry, but you did hit rock bottom." Jackie rolled her eyes.
"Well then help me Donna help me be the Jackie I used to be because right now I don't know who I am." Jackie explained as her friend was still giggling. "Lumber Jack!"
"Now see there's a nice start. Hey if you want help come over tonight. I can't help you now because Eric was supposed to meet me here" she looked at the clock, "5 minutes ago." She rolled her eyes. "Skinny bastard."
"Ok great Donna this is somewhat nice." Jackie got up excited and ran out the door.
"You do need help." Donna watched her friend leave. Eric came in nervously.
"Donna I'm so sorry. Red was yelling at me and I totally lost track of time. And I think I hit something on the way here. So please don't be mad." Eric pleaded.
"Eric its ok we're just friends for right now."
"Wait what… I mean cool." Eric covered up.
"Yea I wasn't going to take you back right away because you broke up with me in Africa. So we are taking it slow." Donna told her ex. "maybe you'd still have me if you weren't such a moron." She added and smiled.
"I told you Donna it's my nature to screw things up. You should know that by now." Eric answered.
"Yea well let's just eat and forget about it." Donna explained.
"Oh, Yea totally." Eric shook his head in understanding.
Back at the basement. The three boys are playing beer pong. Kelso just made a shot and the boys were cheering. Then it all stopped when Jackie walked in.
"Hey guys can I 'chill' with you." She asked a little scared.
"Uh… no" Hyde said quickly. Kelso hit his arm. "Hey man."
"Dude we could use a chick man."
"Kelso, its Jackie." Hyde answered back.
"So what man." Kelso said as Hyde gave in.
"Jackie!" Fez said seriously. She rolled her eyes.
"Ok Jackie you can stay." Hyde said. "But you have to be able to keep up with us." Hyde dared her.
20 minutes later. They were all drunk. Kelso kept trying to make moves on Jackie.
"Kelso dude hold on it's your turn. Truth or dare." Hyde said.
"Dare." He said not knowing how stupid he was. He has said dare every time and the guys took advantage of it.
"Take it away little buddy." Hyde said to Fez.
"Okay um… I dare Kelso to make out with Jackie. See if there's any bubbles building." Fez dared. Hyde didn't know what to do. He just sat there blank. He knew if he did anything Jackie would rub it in his face later and he didn't want to ruin the Rep. So he just sat there even though every second of this dare was killing him. 10 seconds pass and they were still glued to each other. Hyde grew a bit more impatient. His leg was jittering.
"Wow I liked that dare" Fez giggled as watching the two gave him needs. "Umm… I have to go." He ran out.
The two were still glued. Hyde gave up and went to his room. He sat on the bed and took out the hidden picture of the prom in '76. It was the only picture he had of him and Jackie. He looked at it and wondered would have happened if he never took her and developed a certain feeling that never went away. A feeling of comfort, care, and dare I say love. She deserved better than him anyway right? She deserved… Kelso? Kelso the root of the problem and his best friend. He wanted to kick Kelso's ass more and more. It was pissing him off. Kicking his ass would mean losing his best friend and Rep. It was too big of a price to pay for her, but was it really? He kept looking at the picture and he saw how happy she was in it. It made him smile. A little while later there was a knock at the door and it opened. Hyde Jumped hiding the picture quickly.
"Jackie this room is occupado." Hyde agrily said.
"Sorry I thought this was the…" before she said another word she threw up every where. "Eww Jackie Burkhardt doesn't throw up." She ran to the bathroom. Hyde decided to go hold her hair back.
"Where's Kelso?" she just shrugged.
"He… left after… I said I felt… sick" Jackie tried to talk, but the throw up consumed her. "Yuk!" she coughed.
"When was that?"
"I don't know... we were fooling around and then he just left." there was an awkward silence. "Steven?"
"Yeah" he answered worried.
"I let him touch me Steven." She confessed and began to cry.
"What so he took advantage?" Hyde got defensive/
"No I let him. I just wish I didn't." she argued.
"Are you sure cause you don't sound too sure." He asked.
"Whatever I'm sure. It doesn't matter anyway. I'm just exhausted, You guys really drink a lot." She said.
"I don't mind ta…" she was fast asleep. He decided to pick her up and put her in his cot. He went to go sleep on the couch for the night.
"What a day." he said to himself while he put the blanket over his body.
