"All I want is to know no matter what gender I am you'll still love me like you did before."
It wasn't easy for Gavin to come out to his family, but he did it and he's happy with who he is.
Even if his twin sister can't accept that.
When they move...

Gavin's POV My eyes pop open. I'm lying atop one of the two beds, fully clothed with Angela. I rise, reorienting, but careful not to wake Angie up. I walked into the main room to see that the blinds are pulled closed.
Alice and Jasper stare blankly at a T.V. set. Several plates of food crowd a table. Alice looks up as I enter, looking at my cell phone "I wish she'd call. I'm really worried" Alice gave me a pitying look but said "You should eat" I sighed and sit down and pick at some food. My gaze going back and forth between my phone and my plate.
"They could get hurt. It's not worth it" I mumble only for Jasper to put a hand on my shoulder and gently squeeze while insisting "Yes. It is" I look up at him in surprise before remembering that him and Rose play twins. 'So they must be very close...' I find myself taking comfort in his presence.
"I would hug you, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable" I said making Jasper chuckle and pull me close. I embraced him and sighed as I accepted the comfort that he offered.
~~~later~~~ Angie and Bella wake up and soon we're all drinking coffee in silence when suddenly, Alice reels. Jasper goes to her, and we follow in concern.
"What do you see?" Jasper asked as Angela grasped her hand in comfort. Alice grips it gently and says with a worried tone "The tracker. He just changed course..." Jasper quickly sets a pad of paper and pencil in front of her "Where will it take him, Alice?" He ask and Alice says "Mirrors. It's a room of mirrors" we watch as Alice begins to draw at hyper speed, closing her eyes, trying to see it clearly.
"How do the visions work? I heard that they weren't always certain" Bella says only to get ignored as I peer down at the paper in confusion of the familiarity of it "Hey! I'm talking could someone respond!" Bella snaps making Jasper say "She sees the course people are on, while they're on it. If they change their minds, the visions change" I keep staring at the drawing before saying "So the course James is on now will lead him to... a ballet studio?"
Jasper and Alice both freeze before looking at me "You've been here?" I shrugged "Not since I was 10.....Bella and I took classes as kids but Bella dropped out and I left because of the transphobic teacher..." "Do you have any reason to go now?" Jasper asked to which I got a flustered look on my face "Well.... I always joked about burning it to the ground" that made Angie and Jasper chuckle while Alice shook her head in amusement. Bella just stared at me in horror.
Suddenly, both mine and Angela's cell phone rings. We immediately answer after seeing the caller I. D. "Rose..." I breath out "We're coming to get you two" she says before adding in a regretful tone "We lost the tracker. The woman is still in the area. Tanya and Esme are protecting your father and Angela's parents" in the corner of my eye I see Bella sulk with a scowl before lighting up when her phone rings only to deflate and roll her eyes at the caller I. D.
She gets up and goes to the other room while answering "Hey mom..." I turn my head back and ask "When will you get here?" "In a couple hours. Then you and I will go somewhere. Together. The others will keep hunting. Edward will take Angels somewhere as well" I take a shaky breath which makes Rose determinedly add "Gavin, I swear to you, I'll do whatever it takes to make you safe again."
My eyes well up and I say "I don't really care about my safety right now..." Rose sighs and says "I figured you wouldn't, but keep your heart beating until I get to you. Please, for me?" I nodded and said "I promise, my love."

Alice is in the lobby, settling the bill. Jasper loads up the car out front. While Angela and I are going over the plan after finding out Bella's phone call with James.
We texted Rose and Edward and informed them about what was about to go down. We were bait.
We all walk through the lobby, 'sneaking' pass Alice and Jasper who pretend not to notice us. We slip out the opposite door, rushes toward a Taxi and jump in, close the door. The driver is an elderly woman with a hacking cough "8th and Palo Verde, please" I say calmly. The taxi pulls out. Angela watches the hotel disappear.
Once again, I see the polished malls, the manicured cactus gardens. All empty for the night.
We arrive at the studio and we climb out of the taxi. I pay and it pulls away, leaving us on the curb facing the deserted building. I slip the taser into my jeans pocket and notice Angels grip the pepper spray and wrap her purse strap around her wrist. She takes a breath, and nods to me as we both approach the school behind Bella. I peer in the windows, but the blinds are drawn.
Suddenly we hear a faint sound from inside "Bella? Josie? Bella? Girls! Where are you?!" It's my mother's voice, but I know it's not her because my mother would never deadname me.
Bella bolts to the front door. It's unlocked and she rushes inside. Angela and I slowly follow the recording of my mother's voice continues as we watch Bella whirl, trying to find its source. She follows the sound to a cleaning supply closet. She throws open the door to find a T.V. screen with one of mom's homemade videos of us playing with 8 year old Bella and I.
Laughter comes from behind us. We spins, trying to locate James in the mirrors "That's my favorite part. Stubborn child, weren't you?" Relief fills me at the confirmation that my mother is safe "She's not here" Bella says stating the obvious "Sorry. But you really made it too easy" James mocks then he sighs, disappointed. Before he steps up next to her and points a video camera at us.
"So to make things more entertaining, I'm going to make a little film of our time together. Borrowed this from your house. Hope you don't mind" he says before turning it on "And... action!" Angela whips her purse at him smacking him in the face and we bolt off, scattering in opposite directions.
"Excellent! An escape attempt!" James says suddenly, he's right behind me making me stiffen. "It'll break Rosalie's little heart" his words fill me with rage and determination. He smells my hair and touches my throat "You stay the fuck away from her!" I snap before surging my taser forward and delivering a painful shock to his neck.
James drops the camera and wails before smacking me into one of the mirrors "You bitch!" He roars "Gavin!" I hear Angela cry out. I weakly lift my head and call out "Get out of here!" Angela ignores me and instead rushes over only to get smacked into the opposite wall "I'll deal with you later!" James says before whirling around to face me.
He advances towards me and I struggled to get up because of the awkward angle that my wrist was at. I yelp as James suddenly grabs me by my neck and pins me against the wall. Black dots start to fill my vision, but as I black out I see Bella approaching us with a smug smile and an insane glint in her eye.
