Chapter six. Unwanted

Very sad... i think... <3

Anne was running through the dark forest at night, kids chasing her, laughing and sneering as the red headed girl cried as she ran, Anne! as she ran away from Billy, Josie and a bunch of others, suddenly Dina was there.
"DIANA HELP" Anne screamed but Diana just laughed and stepped aside when Anne reached for her, Anne!
"Go Home Ann!" Diana, called after the poor girl, she ran tripping on tree roots and rocks, "go home! No one wants you here!" Diana's words echoed through the night sky, making Anne fall to her knees. Anne! Anne!  "ANNE!"
Anne sat up in her bad gasping and crying, "Anne what is it?" Anne looked up to see Marilla staring down at the girl's tear stained face in the darkness of the night.
Anne was shaking, "oh darling" Marilla said softly as she sat down on the edge of Anne's bed.
"Anne what happen?" Marilla pressed
Anne took a shuddery breath as she tried to stop her tears.
"I-I had a nightmare" she said weekly "thats all you dont need to worry"
Marilla sighed "Ok" she said as she pulled Anne into a hug.
For the rest of the night Anne couldn't sleep, her thoughts kept on drifting to her dream.

*tiiiiime skip at school now*
Diana looked over at Anne, who had fallen asleep in art class for the second time, her head resting on her arms.

feet pounding against the soil as she ran, "GO HOME" Someone screamed at her as she ran.

Diana glanced down at her best friend who was flinching every few seconds,

"GO HOME YOUR NOT WANTED HERE" Someone Yelled.
Anne sat up abruptly. "Anne?" Diana whispered,
"Yeah?" Anne asked as she looked around taking in her surroundings.
"Anne you fell asleep again!" Diana said worriedly.
"I'm fine" Anne said reassuring her friend.
"Okay..." Diana said turning back to their teacher.
With Diana's eyes no longer on her a single tear slowly slid down her cheek but she quickly wiped it away.
Anne glanced at her hands, they were shaking.
She reached for her bag and pulled out a plain piece of paper and began to write, not a story as such but... things about herself, trying to lift her spirits.
I am pretty
I am kind
I am
Anne scribbled over it and sighed, she began to write again, another tear sliding down her cheek, it fell onto the paper she was writing on.
Ugly orphan girl.
Unwanted
Go home
More tears
Stupid
scrawny
Unlovable
Tears were now streaming down her face.
"Anne are you ok?" The teacher asked
Anne looked up, her vision blurry with tears
"I.." she started.
Suddenly Anne stood up, her hands shaking.
"Anne?!" Diana cried as Anne ran for the door,
Diana stood up and ran after the crying girl, "Anne!" Diana called after Anne as she ran through the corridor, She was heading for the door. Her heart pounding. Ears ringing.tears streaming down her face once again.
suddenly Anne was crashing into someone.
"Anne?!" Gilbert voice cut through all her sobs.
She looked up at him, her vision still blurry.
"N-o" She managed to choke out.
"Anne whats going on?" He asked, his face distraught with worry.
"I..i cant" Anne started but her knees gave out and soon she was kneeling on the ground shaking,
Once Diana caught up, she saw Anne, in Gilberts arms,she stood there for a second before she nodded and left.
Anne rested her head on Gilberts chest, listening to his heart beat; her tears dampened his shirt.
Gilbert looked up and saw a few kids watching.
"Hey" he said softly "lets get out of here ok?"
Gilbert stood up, helping Anne to her feet, while draping his arm over her shoulders he led her outside.
together they walked in silence.
They left the school and no one tried to stop them, Once look at Anne's stricken face, stained with tears,Gilberts arm protectively around her, they knew to stay away.

Gilbert sat down under a tree Anne sat down next to him, staring off into the distance,her eyes glazed over.
"So... what happend?" Gilbert asked Anne, he looked at her and slowly she turned her head to face him.
His heart broke when he saw the fear in her eyes.
"Hey..." he said,
"I cant.. I cant loose them.. I cant loose... them" Anne said her eyes welling up with tears again.
She closed her eyes, a single tear slid down her cheek.
Without thinking Gilbert leaned over and wiped it away, Anne's watery eyes opened and looked at Gilbert, she looked into his eyes that were now filled with fear.
"I had a dream" Anne said, filling the silence
"Yeah?" Gilbert responded.
"Everyone was... chasing me saying.. " she took a shaky breath " they were saying... they were saying 'go home'... saying I was un.. unwanted and then.. Diana was there and she.. she, She left me there alone in the dark, I cant loose them i need... i need them i need- you" she whispered the last word, her voice cracked.
"I'm here" the dark haired boy said
"why?" Anne cried turning to Gilbert "Why- why Are you so NICE TO ME she sobbed, "i was so.. Horrible   To you, I HURT YOU" Anne was now hysterical, slamming her fists weakly against Gilberts chest.
He grabbed her fists, holding them against his chest, pulling her forward into a hug, her sobs shaking her whole body.
"Anne?" Marilla's voice could hardly be heard over Anne's sobs, "Anne it's ok im here, im here honey" she knelt down next do Anne and Gilbert, "thank you Gilbert ill take over from here" Marilla said softly to the boy with the dark brown curly hair, he nodded and stood up he began to walk back to school.
"Hey" Marilla said to Anne, Lightly touching her cheek.
Anne looked at her, tears in her eyes.
She leaned onto Marilla's shoulder, suddenly tired.
"come on sweetie, lets go home"
