[Drabble] She’s got you
TITLE: She’s got you
AUTHOR: nicis_anatomy
CHARACTER: Jenny Shepard (mentions Jenny/Jethro - past relationship & Hollis/ Jethro)
GENRE: Gen, Angst, episode tag for 4.17 “Skeleton”
RATING: PG
WORD COUNT: 200
SUMMARY: Jenny knows she has no right to be jealous of Hollis Mann but letting go of your past is much harder when the present keeps reminding you every day of what could have been … Written for prompt #60 "Hollis Mann" for madame_director and challenge #13 "Past Relationship" at ncisdrabble100
WARNINGS: English still isn't my native language (although I wish) and the story is not beta'd.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters (although I'd love to own Action Figure Gibbs), nor am I making any money from them. If I would Season 5 would have ended different. Inspired by Patsy Cline’s "She’s got you".
I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it's signed "with love," just like it used to be
The only thing different, the only thing new
I've got your picture, she's got you
(Patsy Cline “She’s got you”)
~*~*~*~*
Seeing them together still hurts, but you know there is nothing you can do about it.
You made your decision seven years ago, and again last year when you came back. You have no right to be jealous. He’s no longer yours. He’s moved on.
You have to accept this.
Though, you can feel he’s not happy, that she wants more from him than he’d ever be willing to give.
You could warn her, save her from her a suffering that is inevitable.
But again, you have no right to interfere.
It would make things easier; for her, for him, for them ... even for you. But it would also cause more problems you don’t want to happen. Too many things have already been destroyed of whatever was left of the time you were at his side.
Still, the urge to tell her is there. You try to hide it behind a smile. Her questioning look proves your fail and you hurry to walk over to the bar to do what you do best lately: drowning your misery in bourbon.
Some things stay with you forever ... Sometimes you wish you’d be able to get rid off at least half of them.
- The End -
