No Air. (Gabe Fan-fic) [SEQUEL]

Chapter 25.

PREVIOUSLY ON: No Air

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Hey, don't even think about it." Gabe said as if he knew what I was thinking. Unfortunately he did and grabbed on to my arm just in case I made a move.

"Okay, okay, okay." I said calming down.

"I'm still not letting you go."

"But I'm not gonna do anything."

"Yeah right, I know you too well." I pulled him in for a kiss. He let go of my arm. We pulled away as he took my hand and we started walking back to the booth. Until I pulled away and turned back around, doing what I thought of doing in the beginning.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Autumn, don't!" Gabe yelled, but I didn't listen to him. I walked towards the crowd as the girl was still rambling about how good she was. I got through everyone and found myself almost in the middle.

"No one can beat me! I'm the best of all dancers!"

"That's what you think." I said as people looked over at me and started 'oooooo'ing.

"Di-did you say something?" She asked as if she was surprised.

"Your not the best of all dancers."

"And what in your stupid mind made you think that?"

"Okay first, chill. Second, what you do is something. Well, barely something." People again 'ooooooooo'ed.

"It's not like you can do any better, loser." She said getting in my face. Man, her breath stinks!

"Being better than you, that's easy. But fixing that breath of yours, now that's hard." People laughed.

"You afraid to battle, is that why your making stupid jokes?"

"Stupid? No I wouldn't say stupid, just the truth. And battle you? Any time, any day." I said stepping closer to her."

"Bring it." She said signaling to the DJ for music.

The music started and she went first. She moved her hips side to side, I'm guessing she was trying to be sexy. She tried the body roll, but ended up looking like a stick in the wind. Then she tried twerking. Okay, this girl is all modern! What's next? Whip and Nae Nae? Then she's gonna Hit the Quan? Okay. I mean those are alright but put more freestyle into it.

Before I knew it, I was up next. I couldn't dance in the heels that I was wearing so I took them off.

"Make sure you don't stink the whole place." She said as people laughed.

"Don't worry, you already did that." I replied. People again laughed.

I started dancing to the beat. I used some hand dub step and just danced. I used the whole floor, not just one spot. When I finished people were cheering. And the other girl just walked away. I hugged Gabe.

"Hey! That's Autumn!" Someone yelled. Dang it! To much attention!

"We have to get out of here." Cole said. We all nodded.

"Hey! It's IM5!!!" Someone else yelled. At that moment people rushed to see them. We ran out of the club getting into a cab. We told the cab driver to take a few rounds around the city. That will probably help with anybody following us.

We got off as the driver dropped us off at the house. We all got in, not knowing what to say.

"What's gonna happen now?" Allie asked.

"It's all my fault. I'm so sorry guys." I said sitting on the couch disappointed. How could I be so stupid. "You know what? I'm going back to California." I said getting up.

"No, you can't." Gabe said grabbing my arm.

"Look, sooner or later, everyone will know that we have been in Canada this whole time. They will know and point their fingers at Gigi and Julian, who helped us and are still finding a way to distract them." I looked at all of them as they all looked down. "You guys aren't saying it, but we all know that I need to go back to keep you safe. Or else, there going to come here." They all looked at eachother. "I'm done playing this game. I want things to go back to how they used to be."

"Would you really put your life in danger for us?" Dana asked. Everyone looked at me.

"Of course I would, and I will. That's what friends are for. Besides, you guys left everything to come with me to Canada so let's call it even." I said turning around to go upstairs. I went to my room and got my suitcase, Gabe came storming in.

"You are not going back." He said closing my suitcase.

"Yes I am Gabe." I said as I crossed my arms against my chest. He moved away. I continued to put my clothes in the suitcase.

"Fine. If your going back, I'm going with you." He said getting his suitcase out.

"No your not. It's my battle, not yours." I said to him. He stopped me and grabbed my hand.

"Your battle is mine. Together, forever, and always remember?" I looked into his eyes and he looked in mine.

"Gabe... Please don't make this harder then it already is." I said looking down.

"It doesn't have to be. Just stay here."

"But we might not be safe."

"But we might." I sighed. "At least think about it. Don't rush. Promise?" I sighed.

"Fine." I gave in.

"Thank you." He said hugging me from behind.

"Yeah, yeah." I said. "I'm going to go to the dance studio." I said.

"But it's 3 in the morning."

"And? You were once up late doing exercise and made Tina the talking tummy come out in the mirror."

"Okay, you got me." I smiled and went to change. When I was done I went to Gabe and kissed him. "What was that for?" He asked.

"Just because." I said. He smiled.

I went to the dance studio and I put Fantasy by Alina Baraz on repeat.  I sat down. Just taking in the music. I stood up and moved to the beat. Dancing is such a stress reliever for me and helps me think.

When I dance, I feel like I woke up in a 'fantasy' and the reality doesn't exist anymore.

THE NEXT DAY

|*Gabe's P.O.V.*|

I woke up alone. I was sure that Autumn came back from the dance session she had. Maybe she already woke up. I went downstairs to everyone eating breakfast. Everyone but Autumn.

"Hey guys. Have you guys seen Autumn?" I asked. They all shook their heads.

"We thought she was with you, sleeping." Allie said.

"Nope. I woke up alone." We all looked at each other. I immediately thought of something and ran to our room. I found her suitcase missing and her clothes gone. She left. She went back.
