Johnny
"Dad you wouldn't."
Edward

Edward
"You'll do what?"

"Okay."
Johnny went over to Madison's house. He knocked on the door and Madison answered the door.
Madison
"Hey baby whats up?"
Johnny
"We need to talk."
Madison
"Wow those are the 4 word every girlfriend dreams of hearing. About what Johnny."
Johnny
"Can I come in?"
Madison

Madison
"Johnny what are you saying?"
Johnny
"I'm saying I don't want to be with you anymore, and I will not becoming with to Spain. I'll be going just not with you."
Madison
"I asked you if you wanted to break up and you said no. Why lie?"
Johnny
"Because I don't want to hurt you. Which is what I just did."
Madison
"One question."
Johnny
"Okay what is it?"
Madison
"If you can honestly look me in my eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore and I'll go to California."
Johnny looked her in her eyes and said...
"Madison I don't love you anymore."
Madison
"GET OUT I NEVER WANT TO SEE OR TALK TO EVER AGAIN"
Johnny
"Is that a promise?"
Madison
"OH FUCK YOU JOHNNY"
Johnny
"Fuck you too"
He left her house with his heart more broken then a crystal glass falling off a tall building. He cried as he drove home.
Edward
"Did you do it."
Johnny
"Yeah I did it...here's your tape recorder to prove it."
Edward listened to the tape and was pleased about it so he wrote the check over and gave it to him. Johnny took the check and on Friday, Madison went through the whole day and didn't say a word to him. She erased him from her memory. After school she said goodbye to all her friends and looked at Johnny then go in the car and went to the airport. Then on to California, Johnny never say another word to his father. They went months without talking. Until Johnny decided since he had that check he'll just leave. In the middle on the night he packed up his stuff and left to the Airport. He's on his way to California to gave someone a big surprise...
