   Anne's POV

"I need to find Gilbert" I said out loud

Diana who had heard the whole conversation and Charlie nodded they knew what I meant

I ran, I ran faster than I have ever ran before and I have run a fair deal in my lifetime. I didn't even stop to admire the calla lily or make stories while running through the woods, the only important thing in that moment was to find Gilbert

Once I reached Gilbert's house, I knocked with the utmost importance

Soon someone answered the door it was Bash

"Hel-.."" Bash said but I interrupted him before he could finish

"Is Gilbert home?" I asked in a rush

"You just missed him he just left to go on a train to Charlestown" Bash said

"Not this time Gilbert Blythe" I said as I stormed off to find him.

I ran home to find Jerry

"JERRY, I NEED YOU" I exhale loudly, tired of running

"Wow what's wrong Anne?" Jerry asks

"Need. To. Catch. Train. Find. Gilbert." I say between breaths

He gave me a nod and set up the horse.

Me and Jerry got on and rode like if the hollow trees in the forest were reaching their arms to grab us and devour our souls.

We arrive at the train stop and I start searching every single inch looking to meet his lovely hazel eyes.

Wait is that?

"GILBERT" I screamed to the brown-haired guy boarding the train.

This is it, my romance story is about to begin

He turned around to reveal it was not who I seeked. I awkwardly apologized and keep looking I will search every centimeter of the train stop to find him. No matter how long...

"Anne, we've been searching for an hour now, Gilbert's gone" Jerry said putting his hand on my shoulder.

And at that moment I couldn't hold it in any longer, I burst in to tears in Jerry. This was the worst adventure ever. In the story I'm supposed to find him right before he leaves in the train and share a true love's kiss that makes the world stop and the flowers bloom.

"Let's go home" Jerry says as he consulted me from my sobs.

"Jerry?" I say as we were in the horse

"can we stop at the lake of shinning waters? Its glorious beauty always makes me feel so calm" I plead.

"Sure" Jerry pityingly smiles

As they stopped in the lake, Anne got off the horse.

"I need some alone time Jerry; you can go to Green Gables. I'll walk from here when I'm ready" I told him.

"Are you sure?" Jerry asked.

"Yeah" Anne said attempting to smile.

As Jerry left, I took off my shoes and dipped them in the water. "You want me to make sure there aren't any dragons in the water?" I heard Gilbert say.

"Great now I'm hearing him in my head too." I sniffle.

Suddenly before my eyes stands Gilbert Blythe.

"G-Gilbert is it really you? I have an remarkable imagination so I'm not quite sure." I ask as my eyes begin to water.

"It is" Gilbert says with a small chuckle.

"Well only one way to make sure" I say as I wrap my hands around Gilberts neck and places my lips on Gilbert's. It was not at all like I imagined for our story to begin, it was windy and the clouds were foggy but as soon as our lips touched I finally understood what Jane Eyre meant when she said ''I loved him without him even looking at me''

*******

Little did they know from the corner of their eye was the captains of the shirbert ship, Diana, Bash and Cole.

"They finally did it" Bash said proudly.

"I'm so proud" Diana said putting her hand in her heart.

"It was about time" Cole said.

Diana pulled a nickel from her pocket and gave it to Cole.

"What are you doing?" Bash asked confused

"Oh Cole and I bet how long it would take from them to get together." Diana replied.

"Heh I won" Cole said with a smile.

*******

We both slowly pulled away catching our breath but remaining to touch foreheads

"Yep definitely real" I said softly laughing and Gilbert chuckled.

"What next Gilbert Blythe?" I whispered in his ear.

"I have no idea" he whispered back.

We both laughed

His hand reached my cheek as he wiped the tears I had ''I've loved you ever since you wacked that slate over my head''

''I've loved you ever since I beat you in class'' I giggled.

I consider myself an impeccably intelligent person and when I set my mind on something, I stubbornly carry it out, yet Gilbert Blythe defeated me. I vowed to never forgive his cruel acts yet here I was holding his hand and uttering the words ''I love you'' I have no idea what would come next for the both of us yet I know that wherever he is, is my home.

Author's Note:

Dear readers, we have reached the end of our story. This book has been the only constant in my life for a long time and it saddens me to bring it to an end. I don't know what's next for me but I'm hopeful and positive of the things that await me, and the things I've yet to write. It means the world to me that you all wanted to read what I had to write. I wrote the first chapter the summer of 2018 and here I am, the year 2020 finally writing the last words. Thank you for allowing me to escape, this book has been my breathing tube for a long time, but I think I'm ready to breathe by myself. I don't need a breathing tube anymore, because I'm finally truly really happy, my life is not perfect, but I smile and laugh and I'm surrounded by people who care for me, and that's enough. I am happy. I hope you enjoyed reading this book. My first official book.

Goodbye readers,

Glorimar
