Without another word, Elena walked away, leaving them standing there. In the next moment, Gabe too let go of her and walked into the house. Autumn gulped. Even though she knew that his mood had been ruined, seeing him walk away from her, made her ache. She didn't want him to go away. She didn't know why, but it felt as if he was walking away forever.
She looked at the box in her hand and quickly pushed it into her pocket. She would find a way return this tomorrow.
As she followed him into the house, she winced, hearing his door bang against the door with a bang. She stood there, staring at the closed door for a while before feeling dejected. She thought tonight would be 'The Night'. But that was gone again.
