Baby reached Johnny's cabin to find Johnny, not dressed for the show, sitting on his bed next to a black suitcase and duffle bag. "Why aren't you dressed?"

Johnny looked up at Baby with this look on his face, a look of hurt. "I'm out Baby."

"What? How?" Baby couldn't believe what Johnny was saying to her. Johnny couldn't be fired again. "No!"

"Max was waiting for me after my lessons. He told me I was fired and to pack everything up and be off this property by sundown.

Tears were forming in Baby's eyes as she knelt down in front of Johnny. "Because of me?"

Johnny nodded his head yes as he pulled Baby up to him. "I am sorry."

Baby closed her eyes for a moment so she could take it all in. "This can't be happening. Not when we have found each other again. How did they find out?"

"Good ole Neil. He seen you leaving my cabin early this morning and it went down hill from there." Johnny sighed as he looked around this cabin. "Last time I will see this place."

"Isn't there something we can do?" Baby asked grasping at straws.

Johnny just held on to Baby as tight as he could. He didn't want to leave her. He never wanted to let her go. His heart was breaking. "No. I have to go Baby. I am just so sorry that we didn't have longer together."

Baby jumped to her feet. "Our relationship has been doomed from the start."

"Don't you say that! Our relationship has been special. I have loved every minute of it." Johnny said in defense.

"Then why do you have to always leave me?" Baby couldn't believe that Johnny had to leave her again. Her tears were coming more now.

"Don't cry. Come here." Johnny pulled her close to him again. He could feel the pain that Baby was feeling. He was feeling it ten times worse. "God knows I don't want to leave you."

"Then don't. We'll find a way to keep you here." Baby pulled her head up to look in Johnny's eyes. "We'll just have to try."

Johnny shook his head. "Baby, there is no other way. I got my second chance and I blew it."

"Blew it?" Baby wondered if he was having regrets about her.

"Don't take it like that. I don't have any regrets about you and I won't ever." He assured her.

"Where will you go?" Baby reached for Johnny's hand.

"My dad's I guess. Work in the Labor Union till I can find something else." Johnny held on to Baby's hand tight.

Baby could feel herself missing Johnny already. She couldn't bear to let him go again. She loved Johnny. She knew that for sure now. "I will come with you."

"What!" Johnny smirked at the idea. "You're out of your mind."

"No I am not. I will come with you. Johnny I can't stand the thought of being without you." Baby was ready to leave with him no matter what it cost her.

"Yeah, sure Baby. What about school, your parents, us being able to live? It's out of the question Baby. There is just no way." Johnny couldn't believe Baby said she would leave with him. "Besides, I might not be able to afford myself. I am not going to do that to you Baby. You are going to make something of yourself. I can't let you go with me and take the change of jeopardizing that."

Baby tried to plead with Johnny. "I can still go to school. We will just to figure it out in time."

"Forget it Baby. I won't let you do it." Johnny could see the frustration in Baby's face.

"Why are you giving up on us?" Baby was trying to understand Johnny.

"Baby, I don't know what the future holds but, right now I can't take you with me. I want to see you go far in life. You can't do that with me. Now I need to go." Johnny reached for his suitcase and duffle bag and placed them by the door. "Come give me a hug and a sweet kiss."

Baby lifted her stare from the floor and looked sadly at Johnny. "So this is it."

Johnny nodded as he held his arms out for Baby. "Come here please."

Baby ran into Johnny's arms and latched on tight. Don't forget me."

Johnny chuckled under his breath as he spoke. "How on earth could I forget you? I couldn't do it for two years so what make you think I would do it now. No way in hell."

Johnny leaned in to kiss Baby. He knew he would miss those precious lips of hers and her touch. He would be lost without her.

"Here I will walk you to your car." Baby said reaching to carry his duffle bag.

Johnny pulled the duffle bag from Baby's grasp. "No. We need to say our good byes here. I can't stand to see you in my rear view mirror again."

"I know we had a short time together this time but I loved every minute of it and would do it all over again if I could." Baby told him as she tried hard to hold back her tears.

Johnny reached to turn Baby's face to his. "I feel the same and I want you to know how amazing you are. You are so special I can't put it into words. I will always be thankful and cherish all the moments we had. You have changed me forever. Just promise me you will graduate college and fulfill all of your dreams. Promise me."

"I promise." Baby sighed as she watched Johnny give her a little wink.

Johnny leaned in to kiss her one last time. It was a different kiss then she had ever had before. It seemed like a kiss that could last forever. It was an aggressive but gentle kiss all in one.

"Take care." Johnny said as he ended the kiss to hold Baby tight again.

"You too." Baby knew she was fixing to have to let Johnny go. It was killing her inside.

"Frances Houseman, I love you." Johnny knew from deep down in his soul he loved this girl. "You are so beautiful."

Baby was ready to repeat those words to him so badly. "Johnny I lo-"

Johnny stopped her before she could speak those life changing words. "Please, don't say it. I can't bear to hear them and leave you right after I have heard them."

Baby nodded that she understood as Johnny reached for his bags. With a quick smile and a "see ya" he was gone. Baby watched him out of the cabin window get in car and drive away. Her heart was breaking so bad she couldn't stand it. What would happen to them then? Would she ever see him again?
