"no, billy! you can't treat people like this!" i exclaimed, bent over cole mackenzie, cradling his wrist. he fell off a ladder due to billy 'accidentally' bumping it. i knew it wasn't an accident. my boyfriend has gotten too out of hand.

"i'm not kidding, y/n, it was an accident! i was carrying a plank, turned around because charlie said something, and it hit the ladder! i swear, that's it!" billy tried to explain. he scratched the side of his head, and that's when i knew he was lying.

"you've been like this for too long," i said, tears threatening to fall. he furrowed his brows when he noticed. he reached out to touch me, but i quickly moved away. "no, billy. not this time. you and me?" i motioned to us. "we're done. this is over." i said it quickly so i wouldn't change my mind.

"but—y/n!" billy called, and chased after me. i threw open the church doors into the cold air. i forgot my coat, but i wasn't going to let that stop me. tears fell freely down my face. i love billy, i really do, but i can't be with someone who is that...mean.

after a little while of calling after me, billy went back to the church. i walked all the way home without a coat, but it didn't matter. once i ran up the stairs and collapsed on my bed, i quickly fell asleep.

i woke up an hour later to diana poking me in the shoulder.

"y/n? i heard what happened with billy. i am so so sorry. that was absolutely vile!" diana cooed. she rubbed my shoulder as i sat up. i nodded.

"yes, it was," i agreed. "i just wish he could be nicer to others! deep down, he's such a nice boy! he just doesn't let that show, and i wish he would." diana nodded.

after diana left, i sat in my room for quite a while. my dear billy, the one to whom my heart belongs, is gone. he's going to move on, find a better girl for him, and forget all about me. i know breaking up with him was the right thing to do, but i can't help but long to be with him. even sitting next to him means the world to me. he's basically my home, and i feel like i've lost a part of myself.

i gathered up the strength to get out of bed. mother was downstairs making dinner, and father was coming home from work right about now, so i quickly slipped outside the front door. breathing in the fresh air does me good.

i tried to think about the lovely nature, my friends, and the performance tonight, but my thoughts wandered back to billy. he filled every crack in my brain; i couldn't get him out of my head.

i made my way back to my house to eat dinner. my family ate in silence, everyone was too excited for the performance tonight. i was the storyteller, which was one of the main parts. i had a lot of lines, which is so nerve wracking.

after dinner, i went upstairs to get into my new dress. it was a navy blue with dark gray lace trim. i'd never seen a dress more beautiful than it.

my family and i rode over to the performance, where everyone was bustling about backstage. i saw diana, and waved at her. she smiled at me. diana was as gorgeous as ever. she was wearing a lovely fairy costume. she was one of the main characters in the play (which wasn't a surprise to me).

the play started. gilbert's new friend, bash, was helping out backstage, and he's the sweetest guy! i really enjoyed being around him until i had to go on stage.

i began reciting my lines, word for word. the town of avonlea stared up at me from their seats, and i caught marilla cuthbert's eye. she flashed a rare smile at me, and it made me beam. the play continued, and anne was the young boy. her haircut helped her fit the part perfectly. i watched her, so proud of my friend.

then things started to go wrong. billy, who played the owl, was standing in the middle of the stage. as he excited, bash pulled the wrong lever, causing the wooden moon to fall straight on billy and hit his head.

forgetting that i broke up with him just a few short hours ago, i ran to his side. his forehead was already starting to bruise a deep purple, and he was out cold. a crowd gathered around him as bash and gilbert pulled the curtains shut. i grabbed billy's hand and gently patted his cheek.

"billy! wake up! please!" i chanted in his ear. he slowly came to, and i helped him sit up. mrs. andrews came running up the steps backstage, and ran to billy's other side.

"y/n, dear, thank you so much for waking him up! oh, dear, your head, billy!" mrs. andrews fussed over billy. "he was a wreck after you broke up with him. he didn't talk to anyone until we came to the show!" i flushed. i didn't think he cared.

billy turned to me. "i love you, y/n. i know it's hard to be with me, and i know i'm a horrible person. i'm trying as hard as i can to get better. for you. you are my favorite person, and i can't stand the thought of losing you forever," he blurted.

"i love you too. please...just stop hurting people," i pleaded. he nodded.

"i know. i already apologized to cole," he replied. i grinned and threw my arms around him.

"come on, let's go get you some ice for that head," i said. we stood up, and i helped him get his ice. i kissed his forehead.

"you sure are something, y/n y/l/n," he teased.
