Darling Diana...Chapter 1

(By Starla)

As Diana Barry walked back to Orchard Slope, the home she’d always known, she thought back over the past three months of the summer. What fun her and Anne Shirley had wasting the days away that turned into nights. It felt like they were kids again, without a care in the world. She was glad that she finally got the nerve to confront Anne about Anne’s feelings for Gilbert Blythe. After Anne’s heartfelt confession, telling Diana that she would never care for him the way he’s always wanted her too, left Gilbert open for Diana’s own heart.

Since Matthew’s death, Anne wanted to leave Avonlea more than ever. Memories haunted her of her happy times with Matthew, and she was saddened every place she went too in Avonlea because of those reminiscences lurking around at her every corner, especially Green Gables.

The previous evening, Anne said ‘goodbye’ to Gilbert in every sense of the word. She made it very clear to him that he was just not her IDEAL for a husband. She told him that he should ‘get over her’ and move on, and find someone that will adore him and love him the way he should be loved. Gilbert fought with her every step of the way, until even he, could not put up with Anne’s rejection any longer. Anne wanted to part as friends, as kindred spirits, but Gilbert made it clear that if he could not love her for eternity, then he could not and would not settle to be ‘just her friend.’ They both walked away in tears, knowing they’d never be the same again in each others’ eyes.

In a morbid way, when Anne told Diana the next morning at the train station what transpired with her and Gilbert, Diana did a dance in her heart. She had always secretly held a special love for Gilbert, but knowing Gilbert’s feelings toward her best friend, Anne, all those years of growing up, Diana stayed clear of him, professing her love to him only within the quiet place in her soul.

Now it was Diana’s time to shine. Before she reached Orchard Slope, she saw Gilbert standing by the ‘lake of shinning waters.’ He looked so alone and lost, she thought. She walked quietly up to him, and as she stood next to him, trying hard not to disturb his thoughts, she slipped her hand into his.

“I suppose she told you what happened between us last night?” Gilbert inquired.

“Yes, Gilbert. She did. Words can not express my care and concern for you both. I know how much YOU cared for her, Gilbert. I had always hoped for the best with you two, and had always encouraged her to be with you. Will you be okay?” Diana replied.

“In time, yes. I’m glad I am starting to teach next week. It will help me not think of her so much. I’m glad I decided to stay in Avonlea instead of continue my education as she is doing at Queens right now. It would hurt me too much to see her on campus and not be in her life. I wish her nothing but happiness, Diana. You must know that. I hold no ill feelings towards her; but my heart will always have a place in it for her.”

Diana sighed.

“You WILL find happiness, Gilbert. I have every hope and faith that there is someone out there that will love and adore you.” Diana pleaded.

“That’s just what Anne said.” Gilbert replied.

“Well then, we must work towards making that happen for you.” Diana spoke with a glimmer of happiness that SHE would be the one they spoke of to make him happy.

“Come on.” Gilbert demanded. “Let’s enjoy the last few days of summer we have left, okay crow head?”

Diana blushed. She hadn’t heard Gilbert call her ‘crow head’ in years.

“Don’t worry, Gilbert……I am not the type to break a slate over your head for something as petty as a silly nickname.”

Gilbert was the one to blush now, remembering the first time he called Anne ‘carrots.’

“Yes, you’d think I’d learn my lesson by now, calling girls names, but I knew YOU are strong enough to take it…..darling Diana.”
