Good Morning Beautiful

Chapter 1- I've Always Cared

Just as Jackie had hoped no one was in the Foreman's basement. It was pretty late anyway. Steven was probably still at the record store, the Foreman's up-stairs sleeping, and Sam, thankfully, was gone for the next four days.

Jackie just wasn't in the mood and didn't have the strength left to talk to anyone about what had happened to her and how she ended up here.

She sat down on the old, musty couch. Tears started streaming down her pretty face as tonight's events played through her head. She saw it over and over again like a broken record. Finally, something pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Jackie?" Hyde said questionably as he came down the stairs with a beer in hand.

"Ya" Jackie answered trying to make her voice sound as normal as possible.

Hyde sighed, still behind her. He could sense something was wrong. That was the one thing he had over her, he could read her like a book.

"Jacks, why are you crying?" Hyde asked hoping it wasn't because of him again.

"I'm not" She stated trying to sound convincing but obviously failing.

"Yes, you are" Hyde replied being his stubborn self knowing he was right.

"No I'm not…." Jackie said drifting off as more tears glistened I her eyes. "Ok, Fine! I am crying, are you happy now?" She snapped turning to face him with tear-stained cheeks.

Then Jackie saw the look on Hyde's face. It wasn't the 'your-annoying-so-shut-your-pie-hole' look she was so used to getting from him. It was guilt and regret, probably thinking it was him she was crying about again. She had only seen guilt and regret in his eyes once or twice before, but the time she remember was when he cheated on her with that slutty nurse.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Hyde offered her while taking a seat on the couch next to her. Not too close, but close enough to feel comforted.

"No, I don't." Jackie stated matter-of-factly.

She was trying to use the trick he taught her against him, being Zen. Hyde sighed again and sat there for a while wondering what he should do or say next. He didn't want to say anything to make her cry even more, but also at the same time he wanted to know what was wrong. That's was Hyde did, he fixed things for her. That's when he noticed something about her that wasn't right.

"Jackie, why are you wearing only a tank-top? It's like 25 degrees outside." Hyde said while taking off his jacket and offering it to her.

"Since when do you care?" Jackie snapped at him once again, eying his every move.

"I've always cared." Hyde said barley above a whisper looking straight in her eyes.

As she put out her hands to grab his jacket, he saw the bruises on her tiny wrists. She caught him staring at them and figured he knew what was wrong now, or at least he was trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Hyde didn't know what to say, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. And his mind wouldn't comprehend the clues his eyes were giving him. Jackie buried her face in her hands because she knew the tears were going down her face, and she didn't want Hyde to see.

"Jackie…" Hyde drifted off as she then buried her face into his shoulder and began sobbing. She kept trying to talk but he couldn't understand anything she was saying.

So he did the only thing he knew how to do in a situation like this, he comforted her. He wrapped his arms around her back and rubbed his hands up and down it, far from a sexual manner. At first she had stiffened at his touch, but then relaxed into him. Jackie had forgotten how good it had felt to be in his arms, to be held by him, and to be near him.

Hyde whispered comforting words in her ear and continued gently rubbing her back until her sobbing subsided. She pulled away from him and wiped the salty tears from her face. She let out a shaky breath and looked at him, showing him she was ready to talk without even saying a word. That was one of the things she loved about Hyde, he taught her that you could tell anything with one simple action or touch. Words weren't needed.

"Ok. So I was leaving the bar and….."

Ok so the first chapter got too long so I made it 2 different ones, so part 2 is only a click away!
