chapter one

                                    

                                          
A/N, In this story, I'm going to make it way more dramatic and completely disregard all the mean things that Steven says towards Jackie and how they made them hate each other again blah blah.
                          
December 20th, 1986. New York City.
                          
  It was years after I had seen everyone last. After everyone had split up, I moved out to New York after Chicago to actually start my own life, I felt that the big city was the place that suited me best because it was full of people who were actually almost as attractive as I was. Donna had spent months trying to get everyone to meet up again, and I don't know why, but everyone kept putting it off.
                          
  Now, don't quote me on this, but I do miss the gang. They were my friends, after all, and no matter how many friends I make here, everyone seems dull, almost, compared to my Wisconsin pals. Fez and I broke up after almost 3 months of dating, which pretty much everyone saw coming. I loved Fez, but he was never going to do be to me what I was to him. 
                          
  There were no hard feelings, we just decided that we deserved better, I haven't seen him since, but I really hope he got it. I missed Donna and Eric. I SORT OF missed Michael. However, the only person I was terrified of seeing was Steven, I had been thinking about him a lot recently. I wish I could stop it, but I can't because, no matter how it ended or the mistakes we made during, we made each other BETTER, and I can't forget that.
                          
  I now worked as an assistant to one of the biggest names in the fashion design industry. I loved my job, and I loved the city even more. I was heading home when I heard my phone ring in my pocket, I flipped it open, "Hello?" I asked in a chipper voice.
                          
  "Jackie? It's me, Donna," a familiar voice rang through the phone. "Oh my god, hey girl!" I responded, an almost fake amount of excitement in my voice. She could tell.
                          
  "Listen, I need you to come to visit me and Eric. We're having a reunion with the guys and we need you there!" Donna chattered excitedly. "Oh, please. Donna, you know nobody in that group, except maybe you, wanted me there! They all hated me!" I said, laughing. It was true, everyone who was in that group hated me. Steven didn't for a short period, but then he did again. I will admit, that specific period was the happiest I have ever been in my life.
                          
  "Jackie, that isn't true. Just come, please? For me?" She pleaded, and I could tell she was being genuine. "Is HE going to be there?" I asked. "Which one, Miss Tramp?" I rolled my eyes and scoffed, "You KNOW which one, Donna."
                          
  "Yeah, whatever. Hyde's gonna be there. I'm sure it won't be weird, it'll be just like old times!" Donna chirped, trying to convince me that going to this party was the right course of action for me. I desperately wanted to believe it wasn't but something kept drawing me in.
                          
  "Ugh, fine. I'll be there," I gave in. I knew that sooner or later, I'd have to see him, and why not get it over with. I was just so, so, so scared that when I saw him, all those feelings that I had left bottled up would just rise to the surface and EXPLODE. Extreme dramatic emphasis on that.
                          
  I exchanged my goodbye's with Donna and decided to start packing. She had informed me that my flight left this Thursday, and it was currently Monday. Extremely short notice, but it's okay, I could make it work. I've worked in harder circumstances before. 
                          
  I just also needed to mentally prepare myself to see the man who I gave 7 years of my life to, most of my heart and soul to, and an unlimited amount of love to. Steven Hyde.

Thank you so much for reading, cuties. Let me know what you think of this short story. I hope that you guys like this as much as I like writing it. 
                          
BTW, some things in this will be different from the show, details may not be exact. I do not own That 70's Show, I just love it so much and wish the writers kept Jackie and Hyde together, that is all.
                          
Thanks for reading! Vote and comment, please!
