What Should've Been
What could've been of his Kelly… he thought about it constantly. She could've been anything she wanted to be in his mind. Kelly was sweet and kind, always outgoing… she could always make him laugh or smile. She had been a genius from birth.
She was always good in school. She was friends with everyone, but she always had her best friend Maddie. One day, she came home from school crying. She had told him what happened. Her class had had a substitute teacher, and at the end of the day, everyone was already crying because it would probably be the only time they would ever have that sub, but he had told her before she left the class, he told her something. "You are a smart, sweet little girl Kelly," he had said to her. "One day, you're going to be on top of the world, and if anyone tells you any different, they'll be working for you." The night after the funeral, Gibbs had cried because he knew the statement was just too true, but it would never happen.
If Kelly had ever made it to high school, she would be the most popular student. She'd be the straight A cheerleader everyone wanted to hate but couldn't because she was too kind. Every boy would ask her out- and Gibbs was anticipating this part of her life, so he could terrify them- but she would only agree to that special one. She would've graduated college cum laude, had a great job, and married her high school sweetheart. They would've had a child, and Gibbs would've been a 'Paw-Paw.' Her life would've been perfect.
That's what would've been if she had lived.
That's exactly what should've been.
