Time for the next event rolls around and it's time for John to leave Texas once again. He drops his bags on the ground and places his arms around Austin's waist. "Don't look so sad. You know I have to go." He says softly placing his forehead against hers. "John I'm worried." "About what?" he asks her. "You've done so well being sober but now you have to go back on the road and there's so much to tempt you." "I'll be too busy dreaming of you to go out and drink." He tells her, hoping he can find it in him to not betray her.
They stand there a little longer holding each other, not saying anything, wanting to stay in that moment forever. "Here." She says reaching into her back pocket. "So you'll remember me." She adds as she gives him a purple cd case, the words 'For John' in her beautiful hand writing printed across the front. "How could I forget you?" he asks. "I just wish it were you'd I'd be taking with me and not a cd." "John you know I can't go…" "Why not?" he demands. "You could quit your job at the bar and work for the WWE. There's sooo many jobs to offer and you'd be with me." "I can't John…" He cuts her off by placing a finger across her lips.
"I was going to save this but you kinda but me on the spot. I guess there's no other time better than this." He takes a silver chain from around his neck and gives it to her, showing her the diamond ring on it. "Austin will you marry me?" Tears well up in her eyes as she puts her arms around him. "Oh John I love you…" "So is that a yes?" he asks, cutting her off. She cups the sides of his face with her hands, the tears streaming down her cheeks. "John…I can't…" His mouth drops open. "But..I thought you love me…" "I do John I do! I just can't marry you right now…and I can't tell you why not right now. I just I have to figure out how to tell you."
"Tell me Austin I can handle it. We can get through anything together…" "John I can't!" "Is it someone else? Huh Austin?" "No John..it's…it's because…John I can't tell you. Not here, not now…" "All aboard!" Vince calls from the bus. "I'll call you tonight." John says coldly turning from her to face the bus. He turns back towards her and gives her a kiss on the cheek, very cold compared to how he usually kisses her goodbye. He grabs his bags and paces up to the bus angry. He glances back at her one last time, memerizing the image of her standing there with eyeliner stained tears running down her face before climbing on the bus.
