Third person's POV
September 1880
Anne started to worry as she got ready for her wedding with the one and only Gilbert Blythe.
Diana has just left the room to see how Gilbert was doing, when my brother walked in.
"Hello, I was looking for my sister Anne Shirley and soon to be Anne Shirley-Blythe." said Cole with a soft smile as he started to tear up.
He walked towards me so he could hug me but I pushed him away worriedly saying.
"I'M GETTING MARRIED. IS IT TOO LATE TO RUN AWAY? I-I MEAN GILBERT IS MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE. LOOK AT ME... Okay, I look pretty cute." I said as I looked at the mirror. "What if I make him unhappy?" I said as I sat down.
Cole chuckled and sat down next to me.
"Sweetheart, Anne, weird person who is my sister." He said as he poked me so I would look at him.
When I did he smiled.
"Do you love him?"
I nodded as I remembered a memory.
Flashback Begins
Twenty year old Gilbert and an eighteen year old Anne
"Anne, we need to go or we will miss the wedding."
"I'm coming."
"You said that fifteen minutes ago."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Anne slowly walked down the stairs, scared of Gilbert's reaction. Was her dress beautiful or not? Was it too much?
Gilbert turned and looked at her but the words got stuck in his throat.
"Y-You look breathtaking."
"Y-You don't look bad yourself." answered Anne as she blushed to which Gilbert did as well.
"Shall we?" asked Gilbert, with a smile.
"We shall." answered Anne with a smile as she linked their arms.
Then, they left for Diana's and Charlie's wedding.
"Anne..." said Gilbert as he stopped walking and turned me so I was looking at him.
"Yes, Gil?"
"I want to tell you something but I don't want you to freak out and run." said Gilbert remembering the whole 'slate' incident.
"Okay....." said Anne as she started to get worried and let go of Gilbert's arm, but Gilbert held her hands tight in hopes that she would feel the same.
"I love you, Anne-girl." said Gilbert, scared but relieved that he finally had the courage to tell her.
Anne, on the other hand started to freak out. She tried to let go of his grip but Gilbert held them firmly.
"I-I Gil. I don't... Why? Now? I'm... What?" asked Anne as she started to worry.
Gilbert's heart on the other hand started to shatter us he saw the love of his life not returning the love he had for her.
