Denial {Shirbert Fanfiction} {Anne with an E}

Chapter 13- Into the Woods

_Two Months Later_

Disclaimer: So I know it can get a bit confusing when seeing which stories uploaded especially if they take soo long to upload (hehe sorry) and I hate having to reread the last chapter so here is a small recap of where we left off, so Anne and Gilbert went on an adventure and visited Anne's favorite tree and then after they went to Green Gables and Gilbert stayed for dinner with the Cuthberts and they also talked about their past and it was really cute anyway so lets move on.

"Is there ever something as wonderful as trees?" asked Anne as Gilbert and her walked down the forest.

"What about flowers?" Gilbert said as he picked one up from the ground and handed it to Anne.

"Well I do suppose flowers are quite wonderful too" Anne said as she looked at the flower and delicately touched its petals.

Anne and Gilbert were friends...

and friends walked to school together of course she would never tell Diana and Ruby because they would throw a huge fit. Anne would always prepare a clever excuse on why she didn't walk with them.

"I wanted to look at some trees so I took a different path" she remembers telling the girls.

"Did you read the book I told you about?" Anne asked

"I haven't had a chance to read it yet, the internship at the doctor's office has filled all my time" Gilbert said

"Well you must get a chance to read it soon, it has knights, kings and daring princesses with adventures to far off places and daring sword fights!!" Anne said pretending to be fighting someone with a sword

Gilbert chuckled

"I'll try to read it today" Gilbert responded.

As they walked down the forest they stumbled to a broken small house and small pieces of clay on the ground.

"What's this?" Gilbert stopped to look at the destroyed wreck.

"Oh, this use to be our story place. Diana, Ruby and I use to come here to write stories, along with Cole who made clay statues." She paused for a second and frowned

"But some wretched boys who shall not be named, destroyed it...I miss it so dearly, I long to go inside one more time and write just a single story" Anne said with a sigh.

Gilbert looked at the wreck and tried to imagine what it could have been like before. He imagined paper everywhere and clay statues surrounding it acting like its protectors, the more he thought about it the more sad he got that it was destroyed and he never got a chance to see it.

He brushed those thoughts as they reached to the corner of the school house.

"You go first and then I'll enter in 3 minutes" Anne said.

"I still don't understand why you make me go first and don't want us to enter together. Are you embarrassed of me Anne?" Gilbert asked jokingly though you could sense it was a bit sincere.

"No, not at all! Well it's just that what would people say if they saw you enter with such a homely girl as myself" Anne said shily.

"You're not homely Anne and I don't care what people think" Gilbert said as he lightly pushed her closer to the door.

"Well there are other factors too..." Anne said as she pulled away back to the corner behind a bush.

"Those being?" Gilbert said.

"Other factors. Just stop complaining and go inside Gil" Anne said but before Gilbert could react Anne pushed him inside the classroom.

"Gilbert!'' ''Bud'' Anne heard Moody and Charlie greeting him from outside.
