The one, the only... {Gilbert Blythe Fanfiction}{Discontinued}

12. Goodbye...

"No, you wouldn't"

"Yes, I would!"

"Wouldn't"

"Would. times infinity" She said facing him.

'This is going to be a long ride' I thought to myself.

"What?" Jerry asked confused.

"Never mind. Let's not talk" Anne turned back.

Then Jerry started singing.

"Etait une bergere et ron et petit patapon~" he sang. This was one of my favourite songs so I join in.

"Etait une bergere-" Anne cut me off.

"No singing," she said in a serious tone.

"Qui gardait ses moutons" I continued laughing.

"I mean it!" She said getting impatient.

"I'm serious Jerry" She exclaimed.

"Oh, c'mon Anne loosen up a bit" Jerry chuckled.

Anne rubbed her temples. She laid her head on my shoulder and dozed off.

The sleigh came to a stop and Anne shot up.

"We're here Anne" I smiled at her friend.

I hopped off and walked to the back where all the items of luggage are.

"Can we meet at the cafe after we're done?" Rose asked picking up a few bags.

"Okay then. I'll see you there" Anne said as we parted ways.

I made my way to a small pawnshop.

The bell jingled as I opened the door.

"Uh hello sir" I greeted as I arrived near the counter.

"Hello, little lady. What can I do for ya?" he asked placing his elbows on the counter.

I placed the bag that contained my necklace on the table.

"How much can I get for this?" I asked as he opened the desk.

He held the necklace close to his eye looking at it carefully.

"80 dollars" He placed the necklace down looking at me.

He pulled out some money and put it in an envelope.

I thanked him and left his shop. 

As soon as I walked out the door I was met face-to-face with Gilbert.

"Oh, Gilbert! What are you doing here?" I smiled.

"I was just getting some groceries. What are YOU doing here?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm helping Anne sell some stuff" I extended my hand showing him the envelope full of money.

"Do you want to get some coffee? I have to tell you something" he led me to a small cafe.

"Are you really leaving..?" I asked looking down.

"I have to...that's what my father would've wanted" Gilbert sighed.

"I'm going to miss you" I felt a tear fall off my shoulder.

"Hey....don't cry..." Gilbert pulled me in for a hug. 

I buried my face in his chest. he kissed the top of my head.

Now I was blushing. Hopefully, no one sees it.

I heard someone cough from behind us.

I lifted my head to see Anne.

"Anne! Please have a seat" I quickly wiped my tears and stood up.

"Oh, no I'd hate to ruin the moment. I'll be waiting at the sleigh" She asked a smirk spread across her face.

"Wait, Anne! You're staying at Aunt Josephine's and I'd hate to bother her," I said as I thought of a way to get back home.

"You can come with me?" Gilbert offered.

I turned to him.

"It's quite alright. I don't want to be a burd-"

"Alright! It's settled. You're going back home with Gilbert. I'll see you at school" Anne quickly rushed out of the store.

"Are you sure you don't mind Gilbert?" 

"Why would I mind spending time with a beautiful girl?" He smirked.

I blushed furiously at the comment.

"We better get going. It's going to be dark soon"

Third-person pov

Rose and Gilbert stood in front of a large ship.

"I guess this is goodbye.." She looked down.

"I'll be back Rose..." He took her hands in his.

"Can you promise me that you'll send letters?" He asked.

She giggled.

"You can count on that" 

"All aboard!"

Gilbert looked back at her one last time.

He brought her hands up to his lips and gently pressed a kiss on her knuckles.

"Goodbye..."
