They both gave her a disapproving looks and she continued.

" I'm not perfect, my life isn't perfect. But, I love Trevor. He's everything I imagined I could have in life"

" Jackie, the truth now." Red in his best firm voice told her, he wanted to know what had happened to that girl that helped him fix his car long ago, he loved that girl. This girl, this wasn't Jackie. If it was. He didn't like this version.

"I met him when I first got here, you know I was the new comer. I didn't know much about anything, It took years for me to actually go on a actual date, but once I did, it was too late for me to get out of the relationship, he has his anger issues OK? But at the end of the day he loves me."

"Love? You call this love, Honey. This isn't love." Kitty pleaded.

"Well, what can I say. I gave love, and then I lost"

"Come back with us, move back. You'll be loved, and cared for in Point Place. you will only be hurt much worse if you stay here. Please, you will worry us to death if you don't. Now, that we see the truth"

"If I do go back, I will be at my parent's house all alone, and I don't want that"

How she said that reminded Red of the Jackie he came to know and love. He knew how much she hated being in that house by herself while both her parents were out of town, she hated that big house in general. She hated just having to be there, with or without her parents.

Red sighed, he might regret this. But, Jackie needed to leave this place.

"You can stay in Laurie's room. Do you need me to talk to Trevor?" Red question, but he was going to do much more that just talk, he was going to find out what kind of monster beats on a princess that was Jackie.

"No, he's out of town" Jackie shyly answered.

"we came at the right time then" Kitty said, and followed Jackie helping her pack.

It was decided that red would haul the Lincoln back to Point Place because both of them wanted to know what had happened, and sooner rather than later.

As well, as having Jackie in the car is the perfect place, as she had no where to escape.
She wanted the back seat, they wondered why because Jackie loved being in the front, always.

"you want me to tell you don't you" Jackie ask, as much as the Formans knew Jackie, Jackie knew them the same. She knew that they were taking the much slower way back to Point place that would take about 7 hours rather than the 5 hours, it took them.

She didn't mind though, in her mind it was much easier to tell them first, with just them around.

"I know I can tell you guys anything, and you wouldn't ever hold it against me. But, for this I couldn't get it out of my body, to tell you that I was in pain" tears were starting to form on her eyes, her beautiful eyes.

"How could you guys that every night it was hell for me, I'm scared of what he might be capable, or do to me. So I just said perfect because it was what I wanted to have as well as it was the first word that came to mind" tears were now falling of her checks.

"the first time he started to hit me was 3 months into us dating, he got mad because I was late to one of our dates, and he hit me right in the face, left a mark. He told me it wouldn't ever happen again, and my stupid self believed him, and fast forward 3 years late, he is still leaving marks in my face"

Red had to question it, the way she is making him sound, he had to know.

He took a deep breath, not in his lifetime would he think that he would be asking the Loud girl this, she was the Princess of the group. She knew how to take care of herself. Which made him proud of her.

" Jackie, it's more than just your face isn't it?" she didn't say much, she just nodded.
He was going to kill him.

"Sweetie, can you tell us the whole story, even if it has Steven in it, and it's hard, just tell us."

" I loved him, you know. Even, after the whole Sam thing happened I still loved him, I didn't even want to talk about a future after that, I just wanted him to go after me, and bring me home. I just wanted to know he cared enough about me. But, he didn't even try which hurt even more than I thought it would. I just wanted him to want me." her eyes were a never ending waterfall at that point. " I wanted him..."

"so eventually I realized that he wouldn't call, and he wouldn't come after me which is the time I went out with Trevor. And, then I started to notice that he wouldn't leave me, and you';; think that it's pretty stupid. But, he won't leave me because he loves to beat me up, and I'm okay with that because at least I'm wanted, even if it hurts in the end."

To Red, Jackie wasn't just hurt, She was like a lost little girl looking for her parents, except the parents was Steven, who didn't even try. He should have a talking to, when they get back.

Kitty saw something else, she saw a girl in love with a boy that she had given everything to, and to be hurt in the end, She was fragile, broken, and didn't even care what happened to her, as long as the pain that Steven caused her goes away.

She knew she wanted Steven to be with Jackie, but now for Jackie's safety she needed to get them talking,

She took 3 years of getting beaten, and that is something the old Jackie would never have put up with.

At least they finally knew the whole story of why she let him do what he did, and in good time as they approached the driveway to their home.

Jackie told them that it's okay to leave the Lincoln in her parents house which is what they did before heading to their home, so they didn't have to also park it somewhere else. She also said, they could get her stuff later, she just wanted to be in familiar surroundings.

"Come on, Daring" Kitty put an arm around her, and she could have sworn the girl had flinched before accepting, and walking with her. " you must be hungry"

Jackie thought that no one would he there, she wanted all to face was just Kitty and Red. But, she was wrong.

Hyde and Donna were there, eating.

They knew the Forman's were out of town but that's all they knew, they didn't leave much information about anything, they just knew that they would return.

Hyde didn't expect to see her after years of no speaking.

"Hi.." she managed to get out.

Hyde didn't know what to say, he didn't know where to start. He saw her face, he questioned it but it might be a good idea not to start there.

An awkward pause.

There was five people in the room when they first saw her,

Then, there was two.

"Jacks..." he finally said.

She gave him a tiny smile.

He had so many questions for her.

But for once in his life he didn't care about anything except talking to her, a lesson he could have used long ago. He wanted to know about a lot, starting with who did that to her.

"Welcome back" he said and gave her a hug, which she flinched,

When he eventually managed to hug her, she let go quickly.

"Don't hug or touch me. My body, it hurts" she left and went up for the night, she didn't even come down for dinner which had Hyde worried.

"Don't hug or touch me. My body, it hurts." those last words were echoing in his head.

What had happened to her?

Why was she is so much pain?

This wasn't the Jackie he knew.

This wasn't His Jackie.

I know I am so awful for just giving you a short moment of Jackie And Hyde. I wanted it longer. But, I think it is best to leave Hyde wondering what happened to her and why she doesn't want to be touched. Maybe he'll try to talk to her.

But, it's longer right? ;)

They're might be more to the story than Jackie is letting on.
