A promise

Chapter Two - Gilbert Blythe

Gilbert's POV

Now, I'm seventeen and I'm going back to Avonlea's school for my last two years.

I'm so annoyed. I mean... Why would you make a little kid move away. Tell him you'll be going back soon and then out of blue... NINE YEARS LATER. Tell him.

Hey Gilbert. I know you have friends here, but we're moving back.

Alright, it might not have been this harsh...

"Gilbert. Can you put your volume down a bit, please?" asked mum and I just turned the music sound higher.

"TURN IT ON?" I yelled back.

"Hey Gil."

That was my at a time 'girlfriend' Amanda. Sweet girl... And I bet those other twenty were too. Until, I threw them away.

I guess you can say that I've become a player. But, don't because it's a bit rude. It's enough that my parents and the entire school calls me that.

"Hey Amanda." I said as I turned down the music's volume.

"I heard that you're leaving for Avonlea tomorrow. I'm really sad. But, I guess we can text and FaceTime all the time."

"About that..." I said and she scowled.

"Are you kidding me?" asked Amanda, annoyed as she pushed me.

"I mean. New place. New-"

"Chicks?" answered Amanda with an eyeroll.

"I'm not into baby chickens." I said as I tried to lighten up the mood.

Bad idea, let me tell you that.

"Screw you, Blythe." said Amanda as she left the room, hitting the door quite harshly on her way out.

"Alrighty." I said as I sat on my bed and picked up the book 'Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets.'

"How hard is to tell that your sister is not being herself. Ugh Ron. I swear-" I was cut of by my mum.

"Did an earthquake happen in here?"

"Yeah. It came for a visit and left just before you walked inside." I said, sarcastically.

"Look... I know you're mad." said mum and I scoffed.

"Where did you get that idea?" I asked sarcastically.

"Respect your mother." said dad as he walked inside the room.

"If you guys payed attention to me for once and not your money, then maybe I would." I said as I opened my book again.

"Leave me alone with him, love." said dad to mum.

Mum nodded and walked outside.

Dad sat on my bed, next to me.

"What's with the white suit? Got a job at a river boat?" I asked as my dad laughed.

"This may seem like a bad idea, but I promise it's not."

"Because, you'll get a lot of money?"

"No. Because, it will be a new beginning for all of us."

"I don't need a new beginning."

"You need it more than anybody in this house, Gil." sighed dad and he walked outside.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked myself.

"It means... Start packing or I will do so myself and if I have to I will carry you in the car." said dad jokingly and I shook my head as I closed my book and started cleaning.

"How does Harry not realize how awesome Ginny is?" I asked myself as I started throwing clothes on the bed.

What do you think? ♥
