Answer

Hi Mari!  Like John mention a few minutes ago, the second sentence is more natural.  While, for the most part, we tend to delete the portion of the sentence that says, "and I need to attend it," you actually can leave it in the sentence.  If you decide to keep that part, I would place a period (.) right after "I need to attend it," and begin a new sentence with, "I don't think I can make it to the gathering."

Answer

(2) is more natural to me.  You can delete "and I need to attend it", because the reason you can't make it to the gathering is already understood.
