Anne's POV
After school I went to my locker hoping to see Gilbert, but he wasn't there. I went to ask Cole where he was, but he didn't know either. weird he always stays after school and hangs out with us. I called him just to make sure he was ok. once I clicked on his name it sent me straight to voicemail. I brushed it off.
probably a family emergency I thought.
THAT NIGHT
"goodnight Marilla!" I yelled from my room.
"goodnight!" she replied.
before I went to bed I checked my phone and there was still no reply from Gilbert.
I'll see him tomorrow I'll ask him then.
—-
I woke up at around 4:00 to crying. not my own tears. (that's a first haha)
must be Marilla
I quickly went into Marilla's room, but she wasn't there. worried I called out her name.
"Marilla!?"
As I kept on walking the crying got louder. I could hear it was from Matthew's old room. I opened the door to see Marilla sitting on his bed with a picture in her hands. I walked to Marilla and hugged her.
"what's wrong?" I asked
"I just miss h-him," she said her voice quivering "god i miss him so much!" She held onto me even tighter.
"oh Marilla" i sighed and cried along with her.
"tomorrow I'll skip school and we can have a girls' day. ok?"
At first she was hesitant at the thought of me WANTING to skip school but she replied "yes. that would be good"
"then it's settled.. tomorrow!" I said getting up "I love you Marilla get some rest"
LATER ON THAT MORNING
I woke up and thought about Gilbert.
Dangit. I was going to ask if he was ok today. well it's alright. I'll ask him tomorrow.
I got up before Marilla so that I could make some breakfast and get a bunch of movies ready so we can have a marathon.
today will be great
