I Need You - A Shirbert Fanfiction

Chapter Sixteen - Kisses and fights and I love you's

"What in the world has happened to you child?" Marillas voice could be heard all over Green Gables when Anne entered the kitchen. She was covered in mud and wet from the rain. Gilbert walked behind her, he had helped her home. "Ruby" Anne sobbed and bursted out in tears. "Come here" Marilla whispered and gave the girl a hug. "I can't... It's too horrible! I knew it would happen!" Anne cried. "Now now child. Go change into some clean clothes and we'll talk about it later" Anne nodded and slowly walked up the stairs. Opening the door to her room she saw the bouquet of now dried flowers that ruby had given her a month earlier. "I'm so sorry Ruby" She whispered. How could she? She had done the most horrible thing and broken her friends heart!

"What is going on?" Marilla asked Gilbert when Anne had left. "Oh, I don't think I'm the right person to tell you but, well, apparently Ruby has liked me for years and she even called dibs on me! Anyways I told her I didn't like her in that way and Anne was about to tell her about... us. But she found out earlier today and told Anne that she hates her. She is very upset" Gilbert blushed. "Oh I can imagine" Marilla mumbled. "Would you like to stay for a cup of tea?" "Oh, thank you, but no thanks. I have to get home and change in to some clean clothes. I'll just go say goodbye to Anne" Gilbert denied and nodded. "I suppose I don't need to show you the way to Anne's room" Marilla said and Gilbert blushed even more. "No ma'am" When he turned around a smile spread across Marillas face. Oh how she liked that boy.

"Anne?" Gilbert carefully knocked on her door. "Yes?" He opened the door. At first he couldn't see her at all, but then he saw how the blankets on her bed moved a little. "Hey..." He said and sat down on the bed next to her. He pulled the blanket of her head and revelad a pair of swollen red eyes and wet cheeks. "Poor thing" Gilbert whispered and kissed her forehead carefully. "Do you think she will ever like me again?" Anne said between sobs. "Oh I assure you that she will. She just needs time" Gilbert comforted her. He put his hand under her chin, forcing her to look up and into his eyes. "If.. if..." He stuttered. "Yes?" "If you want to break up with me to be friends with her I understand"

Anne was taken by suprise. What was he saying?! She threw away her blankets and hugged him hard. A few kisses later she said: "I wont break up with you, and neither will I break up with Ruby. She just has to accept it because I can't leave any of you!" Gilbert placed a kiss on her nose. "I'm glad, because I couldn't handle a breakup with you either".

"Marilla!" "Anne!? Gilbert!?" Marilla had opened the door just when they kissed each other goodbye. They were standing in the middle of the room and Anne, who had taken of her clothes when she got up to her room, was only wearing her underwear which suddenly both she and Gilbert got very aware of. They both blushed and didn't know what to say. "I'll leave now, bye Anne. Goodbye Marilla." He nodded and left the room. Oh my God how embarrassing he thought.

"Why didn't you knock!?" Anne shouted as soon as Gilbert had left. "Can't you imagine how embarrassing it's for us?" "Dont you think I get worried when a boy says he shall say goodbye and the goodbye takes over half an hour?!" Marilla shouted back at Anne. "What do you have to worry about!?" She asked. "Oh don't tell me you don't know, because you do!" Marilla shouted. Her face was turning red and she looked dangerous. "I honestly do not know, it's not like he's going to kill me?!" "I'm not talking about getting killed, I'm talking about getting pregnant!" Marilla said. Anne's jaw dropped. "You think... Do you really think that Marilla!? I'm not stupid! And besides, I though you should wait untill after you're married!" Anne said trying to convince Marilla. "Well yes you should, and I'm happy if you do I do not want any grandchildren... Yet." Her voice was calmer now
"I'm sorry Anne, I didn't mean to embarrass you or scream at you, I just got scared." Anne gave her a smile. "I know Marilla. I know" And then she put her arms around her adoptive mother. Marilla couldn't help but smile when she did. It was not often she really felt loved, but since Anne moved in, she did feel a lot more loved. "I love you Anne" She whispered. "I love you too Marilla"
