Anne Got up in the morning her eyes red and puffy she walked down the stairs, it was 6:30 in the morning, Marilla hadn't woken yet. Anne walked down the quiet streets of Avonlia after walking out of Green Gables.

She walked around an intersection and saw Pacifique Anne knew she worked for the fletchers who were related to the Blythe's. Anne needed information, she called his name weakly. "Pacifique!" Pacifique smiled "Gud Morn'n Anne" he said in that accent of his with a smile

"Pacifique did you come from George Fletchers this morning?

"Sure" he answered

"Did you hear how Gilbert Blythe was this morning?" she said trying not to cry

after a moment he said "He's better."

after he explained the details he left he left, however Anne was overjoyed, her sorrow was forgotten she had a chance after all.

the Week passed Anne was sitting on the back Porch she was humming and holding a lilly muttering quietly "He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not" she paused for a moment. little did she know, Gilbert was walking down the lane he met Marilla who was sweeping the front Porch "Good afternoon Mrs Cupbhert." Gilbert said. Marilla nearly dropped he broom, she looked up.

"Gilbert!" Marilla gave a warm welcoming smile "you startled me for a moment, what is it that you need?"

"I was looking for Anne" He said

"Oh" Marilla barely kept a straight face trying to hide her excitement, Anne had Confessed Her love for Gilbert to Marilla not 4 days prior. "why yes I do, she is in the the back near the Garden would you like to come and stay for some tea?"

"No thank you Ma'am I just came by to say hello to Anne, but thank you." Gilbert said

"of course." Marilla said who was now smiling broadly.

Anne sat at the Porch picking at the flower petals mumbling quietly saying "he loves me, he loves me not." she was at the last three when she got up and said out loud "oh bother! what am I thinking? of course he doesn't!" "he doesn't what?" said a male voice from behind. Anne was so shocked that she fell off the Porch Toward the Ground. "Anne!" Gilbert hopped off the porch and Grabbed anne before she could hit the Ground.

Anne didn't realize she was in his arms, all she knew was that they were staring right into each others eyes Greyish Green locked with Hazel 'oh how they matched together!' she thought. finally after about half a minute Anne realized the situation and Got up from his arms Pink in the face, Gilbert was red faced himself, though he thought her cute embarrassed pink face mached the color of her pink lips. how much he wanted to kiss her.

They looked down still embarrased finally anne Cleared her throat "Um thank you Gilbert for catching me I-you I mean-you startled me." she was trying not to panic from the love that was building up inside her. Gilbert nodded, the only word he could find was "Sorry." "Dont be." Anne said "I mean you catching me was apology enough." Anne looked at him then at his lips how she wanted to kiss him!

Gilbert managed his Boyish Smile, he decided to do a joke to loosen things up "Twas no Problem as thy Queen Anne always falls and needs help am I not Right?"

Anne Flustered red "Oh Gilbert! you Will pay for that some day! just watch your back!" but even she started smiling, Gilbert began cracking up, Anne followed suit. soon they were roaring with Laughter. once they stopped Anne turned serious again "though you will pay Gilbert." He merely smiled snd said "Whatever you say Anne."

"so what are you doing here Today Gilbert? are you fully well?" Anne asked in a concerned tone. "well not completely but im allowed to walk outside again and get the mail, but Father and Mother won't let me work yet. but anyway I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me?"

Realization of his Question Anne went Red "I-of course I will!" Anne said and smiled a dreamy smile at Gilbert. Gilbert stared at her going red Himself and thought how beautiful she looked. however something back in his mind said 'she doesn't love you!' 'no' he thought back 'that was no near death experience Blythe that was just a delusion that night. she's not in love with you' 'well we'll find out soon enough wont we?' he thought, but he began to grow worried.

As he was thinking his expression turned serious Anne grew concerned as she saw him looking down with a expression screaming 'Worry, Fear, Doubt, Pain. "Gil? are you alright?" "Hmmm?" Gilbert's head shot up seeing Annes concerned face "what? oh I-I meant yeah im fine, erm shall we?" he said putting a smile back on.

Anne smiled at him slowly, a beautiful warm smile, that made Gilbert feel like he was getting his fever all over again accept it was a wonderful feeling. "yes" she said. barely able to give a straight face he said: "well Let's go" "yes." she said again still staring at him.

as they walked Anne talked and talked like usual in which Gilbert never got tired of, she was talking about Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and about Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy falling in love after some hard fights. even a rejected Proposal. Gilbert stopped at that part. "Gil what's wrong?" she asked him Gilbert was thinking of what she just mentioned Elizabeth Bennett rejects Mr. Darcy on his first proposal.

"yes im fine" he said flatly while he thought of two years ago when she had also rejected him. it took a moment for Anne who was thinking the fever was coming back, to realize what was going on, she remembered that dreadful day too The horrible words she spoke ran in both their heads 'I can never ever love you Gilbert. you must never speak of this to me again.' "Gil let's sit down" she pointed to a bench trying not to panic.

Gilbert couldn't stop the tears that were building up. Anne began to be frightened "Gil stop, Gil its ok." Anne hugged him with a warm embrace Gilbert calmed down but dtill leaned against her "Gilbert im so sorry." he Sighed "It's ok Anne, should I walk you home?" he managed a sad smile.

"but-" "no Anne it's ok it's getting dark." she looked at the sky, it was getting dark "ok" Anne said in a quiet disappointed voice

when Anne arrived home that night she went up stairs after dinner and began sobbing.

what a fool she was, he would never love her. it was all her fault, she would have to deal with the fact that he would only be her friend. he was probably already Engaged to Christine Stuart now!

Marilla walked up the stairs

"Anne?" Marilla said

"leave me Alone Marilla." she cried

"Anne I know what's going on and I tell you he loves you. I've seen it in his eyes."

"that was in the past." Anne Sobbed

"I see it now even stronger than before Anne dear, Don't give up hope because of some Girl you think he's engaged to, because its not as real as your engagement to Roy!" "but-" "trust me Anne I may not have noticed or had the opportunity but I admit I was in love with John Blythe when I was young, dont Lose him like I lost John Anne, just try, I never asked to be an Old maid, you are not meant to be like me Anne. Please. do it not just for me but- for Gilbert as well."

Anne looked at Marilla for a minute, letting it sink in Marilla looked desperate but Determined. slowly Anne nodded "alright" she said "for Gilbert." Marilla smiled "your more a woman than I ever was Anne." Marilla stroked her Cheek "Now go and Smack that Blythe boy with all the love you have!"
