You where lying on your bed deciding on what to do next.
When you saw Gilbert and Anne talking you just wanted to crawl up into a ball and disappear.
It was no secret that Anne had feelings for Gilbert but you didn’t think that she would try and take him.
If you had to be honest you where scared Anne was beautiful, smart and wasn’t scared to speak her mind.
while you on the other hand where shy and had gotten use to being forgotten about that was until Gilbert had taken an interest in you and you started going out together and he would walk you home.
He had helped bring you out of your shell.
So after seeing him interact with Anne you knew what you had to do so you left your room walking down stairs putting on your coat, beanie, scarf, gloves and slipping on your shoes.
When you arrived at Gilbert’s house you where terrified to do this but after taking a deep breath you approach the door and knocked.
“Y/n. What are you doing here? Is everything ok?” He asked.
“We can’t see each other anymore Gilbert.” You said looking him in the eyes.
“What are you talking about Y/n… did something happen?” Gilbert asked trying to see if you were joking about that and didn’t truly mean it.
“Gilbert you don’t have to pretend I saw you and Anne today. I wish you two every happiness I really do… Goodbye Gilbert Blythe.” You said turning away and walking off. Before he could explain.
You knocked on the door of the Cuthbert’s home. “Oh hello Y/N what a pleasant surprise, Anne is in the barn working if you’re looking for her.” Ms Cuthbert said once she opened the door.
“Thank you” you said quickly before walking towards the barn.
“Y/N.. what are you doing here? Is everything alright?” Anne said seeing you walking into the barn with red puffy eyes.
“I broke up with Gilbert” You said looking down.
“WHAT? WHY? What happened?” She asked dropping the pitchfork and walking closer to you.
“Why do you sound upset. I saw you both this morning.. so I broke up with him so you could be together. I hope you both are happy- excuse me I have to head home.” You say turning around and running off.
When you arrived home you where greeted with your parents arguing but once the noticed your presence they told you to pack a suitcase because you would be staying with your grandparents in Charlotte Town for a couple days.
Once you finished packing you walked back downstairs being met by your parents yet again arguing before ushering you into the carriage joining you after a couple of minutes.

Gilbert knew he screwed up the moment you said you saw him with Anne. But since you left before he could explain he didn’t get to tell you that he was just asking for advice on how to be a better boyfriend.
But it really started to sink in when he saw Anne and Diana walking towards his house.
“Gilbert we have a massive problem!” Anne said as Gilbert opened the door the two girls pushing past him. “After Y/N was at my house saying that she saw you and me talking she told me that we could be together and then apparently Diana saw the Y/L/N’s getting in to a carriage and heading towards the train station with suitcases… Don’t you realize we must have upset Y/N so bad that now she’s leaving Avonlea!” Anne blurted out
“ANNE! Calm down they wouldn’t just leave Avonlea ok.” Diana said in an attempt to calm down her friend.
“Wait… What do you mean you saw them leaving?” He said sinking into his chair feeling his stomach drop as if it fell into a bottomless pit.
“We have to do something. We have to-“ she was cut off by Gilbert getting up.
“I just remembered I have stuff I have to do.. umm- I will see you guys on Monday.” He said pushing the girls out the door before shutting it on them. He turned his back to the door before sliding down the cold wood. Warm tears slid down his cheeks his breathing picked up and he slowly got up and walked towards his bed lying down shoving his face into his pillow.

The next morning it was Saturday and he woke up extra early quickly changing his clothes and grabbing his coat and hat as he rushed at the front door and headed towards the train station.
when he arrived he got on the first train to Charlotte Town. Remembering you saw that your grandparents live there and you normally stay with them after your parents had huge fights. He even visited you a couple months ago so he remembered the way particularly well.
When he arrived at the house he knocked on the door to be greeted by a maid. “Hello can I help?” She asked looking curiously at the boy who stood on the steps.
“Umm.. Yes, I’m looking for Y/F/N.. is she here?” He said looking up at the old woman.
“And who should I say is calling?” The maid asked.
Knowing you probably won’t answer if he said his name He said “a friend.” The maid nodded before closing the door and walking off.
When you opened the door you were surprised to see Gilbert “Gilbert?.. what are you doing here?” You asked ready to slam the door in his face.
“Y/N you never let me explain. I was asking Anne for advice on a date that I had planned and needed an opinion on from one of you friends” he said taking you hands in his and rubbing circles on the back of your hand with his thumb.
“w-what?” You croaked out.
“I would never cheat on you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.” He said looking deep in to your Y/E/C eyes.
You pulled him into a tight hug. He wrapped his arms around your waist while resting his chin on the top of your head placing a kiss to your forehead.
“I love you Gilbert Blythe”
“I love you too Y/F/N”

this might just be me but I always wanted a jealous Gilbert. Not exactly jealous jealous, but a taken aback Gilbert as in how Anne is a little reserved yet frank around him, but she is so emotionally and physically comfortable around certain boy friends.
She kisses Jerry on the cheek all the time, and they have such a sweet friendship. And her friendship with Cole. Like when Gilbert drops her off at Josephine's, and Cole & Anne greet in such a heartwarming way- I always kinda wanted Gilbert to look at that and feel some kind of longing for THAT Anne, Anne who would be as close to him as she is with Cole.
I also kinda run a fantasy storyline in my mind when Gilbert is at first a little distant with Cole because he thinks Anne has a thing for him, only to come to realise Cole is gay and see Cole laugh at Gilbert for it because he was right in telling Anne that Gilbert had a crush on her. I would have loved for those two boys to interact. I think it would also have helped Gilbert see Anne's world of kindred spirits, which I think would have developed if the show had not been cancelled.
