THE ROSEBUD / JONNY'S AND VIOLET'S APARTMENT
IT'S BEEN A FEW DAYS since Monica's lung tissue transplant recovery.
The next day, in the living room, Jonny sits on the three seat sofa with a glum expression on his face after his breakup with me.
[Song: Be Still - The Fray]
After packing up my stuff in my duffle bags, I slowly walks out of the bedroom, in the hallway and into the living room.
Jonny and I exchange looks at each other, not saying anything.
I walks up to the door and Jonny gets up.
"Violet?" Jonny said.
I look at him. And he looks at me.
"Please, don't leave." Jonny pleaded with me to stay.
"I'm sorry, J." I apologized to him with a glum expression on my face. "After all of this time, I really thought we were ship-game. Seems like we're not."
"But we are ship-game, Violet. You just have to believe that we are." Jonny said.
"I wish I could. But I'm sorry." I said.
Jonny and I exchange another glum looks at each other. I open the door and walks out, closes the door behind me.
Jonny looks at my key on the coffee table. He gently picks it up in his hand and sits back down on the sofa, dejected.

- Third POV -
Later that day, at Eleanor Reese's new workshop base of operations, Eleanor puts a red "X" on the Polaroids of Jonny Harper, Violet Benton and Monica Sinclair with a red marker.
She also puts a red "X" on Eric Smith's Polaroid as well, assuming that they broke up as well.
The door burst open, revealing an infuriated Jonny Harper and Monica Sinclair walks up to her desk.
Eleanor Reese looks at them both with a stoic expression on her face. "Hi, Jonny. I assume that you're pissed off because I made you break up with your other ex-girlfriend, Violet Benton and now, she resents you for leaving her for Monica. And as for you, Monica, I assume that you and Jonny talked about it and Eric broke up with you as well."
"Cut the BS. We know you set up the car accident with Wallace Stuart as the culprit." said Jonny.
"You conjured up an evil scheme by using me as a tool to cause Jonny and Violet to end their relationship and Eric and I." Monica told Eleanor with a dead serious expression on her face.
"Violet isn't the only person that can boldly stand up to you like this. We're not afraid of you. You made Violet's life and our life's a nightmare. So, do us all and this messed up small town Arrington a favor and drop dead." Jonny told her.
