Prompt – 048: Hate
Words: 396
Summary:She prided herself on not making snap judgements until she had all the evidence.
~!~
“Ooooohhhhhh.....” groaned Abby. She was slumped on her stool at her computer desk in the main lab, trying to resist the urge to bang her head on the flat metal in front of her. Repeatedly.
“It's not that bad, Abby.” said Kate, rubbing Abby on the back in an attempt to soothe her. McGee had made a quick getaway as soon as their backs were turned. “You couldn't have known.”
“But I should have known something was hinky. Gibbs doesn't do picnics, especially with women.” she said, berating herself again. She prided herself on not making snap judgements until she had all the evidence, but what had she done? Just that. Even when Kate told her what she thought of Gibbs and this Willow's interactions, all she could see was someone horning in on her turf.
She was Gibbs' favourite girl. She was the one who could almost always make him smile. And all she'd been able to see was someone surplanting her place. She'd reacted badly, that much she knew, but at least the only witness had been Kate.
“Still. You shouldn't beat yourself up about this, Abby.”
Another groan of woe was her only response.
“It's not like you did anything.” Kate reminded her.
“But I thought it! I was all ready to hate this person who was stealing my Gibbs, and it turns out I can't.”
“Abby.”
“She's Gibbs' niece, Kate.” Abby said, trying to make Kate understand. “I can't hate her because she's Gibbs' niece.”
And that pretty much said it all. Abby couldn't begrudge Gibbs any family connection, because until today, she'd thought he didn't have any. Well, except for the ex-wives, but they didn't count.
“She may not be his niece.” Kate said, and Abby appreciated the effort – really, she did – but they both knew different.
“Gibbs has a niece.” Abby said, as if repeating it enough times would make it any less real. Or more. “Even if she's not - you know - biologically, she is in every other way.”
With that, Abby let her head slump back to the cool metal of the desk.
“Why couldn't I hate her?” she asked to no one in particular.
“Well, you still could.” suggested Kate, and Abby didn't even bother to reply to that.
Thump.
“I'm soooo stupid.”
Thump.
