Chapter fifteen. '"The lady said stop"

Saturday, Anne. 

Anne sat on her bed, staring at her closet that had held all her clothes. Groaning she lay back onto her bed. Not too long after, her phone binged. She had a text from Diana,

Diana: what are you wearing?
Anne: Ugh idk!!! 😫
Diana:don't worry im sure whatever you choose Gilbert will love.
Anne:whats that supposed to mean?!??!
Anne:Diana!?
Anne huffed and got off her bed and began to search through all her clothes. She settled on a blue shoulders top with a pair of black ripped jeans
She went over to her vanity and put on some mascara, she brushed her hair and tied it into two braids.
Looks to.. school girl like.
Anne thought to herself as she untied it and brushed it out again
Fuck it.
Anne thought as she stood up leaving her hair out to hang below her shoulders, she walked. Down to the door, "by Marilla!" Anne called
"Bye Anne! Be home by 11:00 and don't get drunk!" Marilla said
"How do you know im going to a party?" Anne said confused.
"I have my ways" Marilla replied with a smile.
"Bye!" Anne said for the second time as she walked out the door.
Anne walked along the path humming quietly to herself, the sun had started to set it was 6:53 Pm and it was getting dark.
Finally Anne reached Diana's house, "Anne finally!" Diana cried as she opened the door.
"Hi Diana" Anne said with a chuckle.
"Ok lets go, Josie is picking us up from the corner of the road" Diana said glancing down at her phone, "in five minutes we have to Hurry!" She exclaimed as they both began to run down the road.

"OHMYGOD Finally!" Josie cried from her car window, "we were waiting for ages!" She continued.
"Sorry" Panted Diana as she and Anne climbed into the car beside Ruby and Jane, Tillie was riding shotgun.
"So.. where is this place we are going?" Anne asked
"I dont remember the name I haven't been before but-" Josie was cut off by Jane.
"Woah woah woah... you haven't Been there before? I thought you knew where we were going!?"
"I do!"Josie said
the two girls began to argue the whole way there, giving everyone else a headache.
*time skip at the.. idk place lol*
"Where are the boys?" Ruby asked once they were outside the car.
"They said the would meet us out here" Josie said looking around the street, "Aha there they are!" She pointed to a bunch of boys who were all chatting and laughing at eachother as they walked towards the girls,
"Hello boys" Josie said, "At 15 to 11 we all meet out here and I'll drive you all home ok?"
"How will we all fit in your car?" Gilbert asked to taking his eyes off Anne.
"We'll make it work, ok everyone go in and have some fun!" Josie said excitedly.
"Come on" Diana said, taking Anne's hand and steering her into the building, they were welcomed by the thumping music and the smell of alcohol. Anne cringed at the multiple drunk people dancing on the dance floor, some boy was chatting up some lady who looked like if you poked her she would fall over she was that drunk."Nope" Anne said turning on her heels back to the door Gilbert grabbed her, "your staying" he said with a light smirk "Oh god" Anne said once the door closed behind her and all the other teenagers.
"Hey Diana?" Moody asked from behind them, Diana turned around to face him, going slightly pink, "yeah?" She asked shyly. He took her hand and smiled, "lets dance!' He pulled her towards the dance floor and soon Anne could no longer see her friend's head bobbing around anywhere in the sea of drunk people.
Anne shivers and walked over to the bar, sitting down and turning to watch everyone, she didn't intend on getting drunk that night.
to her left Josie was intensely flirting with a college student who didn't look very impressed, Ruby was already wasted, she was stumbling around grabbing onto Charlie's jacked as he talked to Jerry, who looked quite uncomfortable in such a small place with so many people, Cole was standing to the side of the room talking to a boy with wavy light brown hair, they seemed to be hitting it off, then Anne's eyes rested on Gilbert, he was talking to some girl, Anne felt something growing in the pit of her stomach was it... jealousy? No it can't be, Anne shook her head to clear her thoughts, "hey pretty lady" the bar tender said " can I get you anything?" He asked, Anne was stunned by how handsome he was, with his black/brown hair and green eyes.
"Uh.. just water" Anne said quietly blushing at his comment. "Sure" he said walking over to get her a glass of water.
"Her you go miss..." he trailed off raisin an eyebrow.
"Anne, Anne Shirley" Anne said, "and you are?"
"I'm Oliver" he said
Anne nodded, "well i better go find my friend" she said
"Uh wait!" Oliver said "my shift is nearly over wanna chat after?"
Anne thought for a moment, he seemed polite enough, and if Gilbert was talking to some girl Anne could talk to some boy if she wanted. "Sure" she said with a smile.
"Cool" Oliver said with a boyish grin as he went to serve another customer. Anne presses herself against the wall, taking a deep breath, blocking out all the yelling and music.
"Hey" Oliver said, stepping closer to her, leaning against the wall beside her.
"Hey" she said, keeping her eyes on the swarm of people in front of them.
"I don't really like party's" Oliver said, "their too loud"
"Same" Anne said smiling,
"I'm much more of a stay home person" he continued.
Anne nodded in agreement.
"So.. where are you from?" Anne asked casually.
"You don't wanna know where i'm from... where are you from?" He said winking at her
Anne bit back a smile, "i'm adopted but I'm basically from here" she said
Oliver nodded, "ugh i hate it here.. do you wanna head back to my house so we can chat where it's quiet?" He said looking at Anne.
"Uh.." Anne said nervously, "no i better just stay here"
"Aw come on, you don't really wanna stay here with all these people" Oliver said stepping closer to her.
"I'll just stay" Anne said her voice wavering.
Oliver chuckled, "your very pretty, you know that?" his hand slid down her arm, He reached for her wrist, grabbing it tightly.
"Please let go" Anne said trying to pull her wrist away but her was too strong.
"Hey hey, don't worry i'm not going to Hurt you, lets just go for a walk to we can't talk... away from all these people" Oliver said, walking towards the door, dragging Anne away with him.
"No" Anne said, her voice cracking in fear, they were now close to the door, Anne's heart was racing.
"Get Off me!" Anne cried as she tried to pull her arm away, causing a few people to glance over, no one really noticed what was going on.
Suddenly they were outside, the cool night air chilling Anne to the bone, her eyes were now filling with tears, "stop!" She yelled, struggling to get away, suddenly someone's hand was on Oliver's arm, "the lady said stop" Gilbert said as he glanced down to Anne, he was almost the same height as Oliver, "stay out of this" Oliver said,
"I'm afraid i cant sorry" Gilbert said pulling Oliver's arm off Anne's instantly Anne stepped back and fell onto the ground, shaking, tears now streaming down her face.
"Hey!" Oliver said angrily, i said stay out of it!" Oliver shoved Gilbert in his chest, Gilbert shoved him back, harder.
Suddenly both men were shoving and hitting each other and then Oliver punched Gilbert in the gut, making him stumble back.
"Gilbert!" Anne exclaimed, he glanced down at the her.
Gilbert turned back to Oliver and punched him in the face, "get lost" he spat, ignoring the blood that was now trickling down Oliver's face. He glared at Gilbert and Anne as he walked back into the building, passing the few people that were watching, wide eyed, slowly they began to walk back inside.
"Are you ok?" Gilbert asked, his voice softening as he saw the red headed girl sitting on the ground shaking.
Anne nodded.
"No your not" he said sitting down beside her.
Anne began to cry again, "if you hadn't he could of"
"Shh" Gilbert said quietly wrapping his arms around her.
"Anne!" Diana cried as she ran out of the building that Oliver just walked back into.
She knelt down beside the two, Gilbert's arm was still protectively around her.
"What happened?" Diana asked Gilbert.

*Gilbert's prospective but still 3rd person...*
Gilbert stood next to the blond drunk girl, talking to her, but his eyes were still on the red headed girl who was talking to the bartender."so im like.. soo single right now.." she said twisting a strand of blond hair around her finger "I'm gonna go" he said, stepping away for the girl, he glanced at her, she pouted.

Gilbert turned back to where Anne was sitting before, he look at the wall she was leaning against talking to the collage student she was talking to before.
He could make out what they were saying but he saw Anne shake her head, the other person said something, he could tell it made Anne uncomfortable, he reached for her wrist and grabbed it, Gilbert frowned a little as he watched Anne try to pull her hand away but he kept his hand firmly on her wrist, Gilbert started making his way towards them,
"Please let go" Gilbert heard Anne say as he got closer, Gilbert picked up his pace when the other man started pulling Anne towards the door, "Get off me!" Was the last thing Gilbert heard Anne yell before the man had pulled her out the door.
He's going to hurt her. Gilbert. Thought frantically as he pushed open the door and walked out into the cool night air that chilled him to the bone.
He walked up to where Anne and the man were, he placed his hand on the mans arm, "the lady said stop." Gilbert said.
"Stay out of this" he said
"Im afraid i cant sorry" Gilbert said, pulling the mans arm off Anne's Anne stepped back.
Not too long after Gilbert and the man who tried to take Anne we shoving each other, the man punched Gilbert, he could hear Anne exclaim his name, he punched the man in the face. "Get lost" he spat, his blood boiling at the fact that he tried to hurt Anne, she was so scared she was shaking.

*back to now time and still 3rd person*
"What happened?" Diana asked turning to Gilbert.
Gilbert took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, "some guy was trying to take her away so i just.. i don't know..." Gilbert trailed off looking at the frail girl in his arms, she had fallen asleep. Gilbert sighed softly.
"Oh gosh guys what Happened!?" Ruby cried as stumbled over, Josie Tillie Jane and the boys all followers her unsure of what was going on, well, Anne was lying in Gilberts arms on the ground sleeping her face glistening with tears,
Diana was sitting next to them, Gilbert had a bruise on his forehead from where Oliver had hit him.
"It's a long story" Gilbert said still looking at Anne.
"Tell us on the way back" Josie said unlocking the car.
