I'm sorry I haven't updated! I'll do better, hopefully. No promises.

Don't own Dirty Dancing Havana Nights. Though I wish I owned the dance moves.

The rest of the school year was a blur to Katey. Back at her old school, she went back to being smart, but now she wasn't enthusiastic about her grades. She missed dancing, missed Javier, missed feeling free. Over the summer, she decided, she'd go back. Go back and find him, find herself again, in dance.

Naturally, she graduated at the top of her class. Her parents couldn't be prouder, but Katey didn't care at all.

"Mom," she said a few days later, "can I go to Havana?"

Her eyes widened. "Katey! Don't you want to go to college? You're not after that boy, are y-"

"Mom," Katey interrupted, "I'm still going to college. I just want to go back. Yes, I want to find Javier, but it's more than that; since we got back I've felt… down. Not myself. I think going back will help me a little."

"But Katey, it's dangerous."

"Don't worry, mom, I'm eighteen, I can take care of myself."

She looked sad. "I know, honey, but I don't think I'll be able to let you go to a country like that, with all its problems."

Katey's eyes pleaded with her mother, who couldn't stand up to such begging, such a pitiful look. "All right. You may go. But if it gets any worse, you're coming straight home, do you understand?"

Relieved, she nodded. "When can I go?"

"As soon as I can get a ticket for you."

That didn't take long. Three days later, her family was seeing her off at the airport. Suzie looked a bit abandoned, but she would soon forget about that, seeing as she had big plans for the summer. Her mother, once again, urged her to be careful, and her dad's hug was extra tight.

After she lost sight of them, she sighed. Sure, she would miss them, but it was exciting to do something on her own.

The plane ride was uneventful. It seemed to take very long or Katey, who was filled with excitement about going back.

Once she landed, she took a cab to the hotel she was to be staying at, and once everything was put away, she flopped down on the bed. She hadn't realized how exhausted she was…

When she woke up, it was seven o'clock and Katey was very disoriented. She got dressed and went downstairs to the lobby and asked for a map. Soon, she spotted where La Rosa Nigra was and she began to walk there. Despite the late hour, it was hot.

Even hotter was inside the club, with all its people dancing or drinking. Katey sat down at the bar, and ordered something. Her eyes searched the dance floor. He would be in the center, if he was here, and dancing his heart out with some girl, like he had forgotten all about Katey.

I'm sorry these chapters are so short. Really. But I think this story is coming out very good. Review, please!
