Joey's POV

We arrive at the airport and I try to stay positive, but I don't know how long it will last. I can see Sawyer is putting on a smiling mask, that's holding back a tear or two. We get the tickets and sit down, the flight's in an hour. I can remember the last time I was here, well I wish couldn't but I can. Me and Sawyer don't say anything really, I feel too emotional. As if when I started, I wouldn't be able to stop. So the silence remains. I hold his hand tightly, I think - when the time comes - I won't be able to let go. I would go with him, but that would cost a lot and he already spends a lot on his short films. Besides I think a little break will be good for us. I mean I won't 'play the field' or anything, but have a little relax time. Some me time. Yeah, besides if I get lonely I could do some colabs, with Shane, maybe. Okay, maybe this won't be so bad. Right? Right?! Good or bad, I have to be strong - for Sawyer's sake. I don't want him worrying about me, he should have some relax time in Italy. I look over at Sawyer and I can tell he's thinking things through as well. He looks so cute. Those sparkling blue eyes ... I'm really going to miss them. Who am I kidding? I'm really going to miss him. Great. Now I'm back to square one, feeling incredibly emotional. I start to tear up again, but I only release them when they announce his flight. Sawyer looks at me and hugs me rather tightly. Okay, now I can't breath.

"Choking, not breathing." I manage to say.

Sawyer instantly let's go of me. Oh air, how I have missed you.

"I'm so sorry." He's stressed, I can tell.

"It's okay, I get it. I really don't want to let go of your hand either." I look down at our hands, still intertwined.

"Well..." He says, scratching his neck.

"Well..." I respond, not quite sure what to say.

"Goodbye, I guess."

I shiver at the word 'goodbye'.

"Goodbye ... I guess."

And the crying begins, pouring.

"Oh, come here." He says, sympathetic.

He pulls me into him, hugging me a lot softer then last time. I cry into his shirt, but I can feel drops falling onto my shoulder. Another announcement comes on about Sawyer's flight and he pulls away from the hug.

"Now, Joey, I got you something. Something to remember me by." That's so sweet of him.

"What is it?"

He goes into his bag and takes out ... a ring?!

"Joey - "

"Oh my God, Sawyer! Yes!" I cut him off.

"What? Oh, no, it's not that kind of ring, but thank you for telling me your answer in the future," He winks, then chuckles. "No, it's a promise ring. Promising my faith to you and that things will be absolutely fine when I get back."

"Aww, Sawyer! I love it!"

He slips the ring onto my finger, it's beautiful. It's gold and engraved on the outside is 'Jawyer'.

"You like?" He asks.

"I love."

I kiss him right on the lips and it's magical. Even after we pull apart I stand in awe with my eyes still close. Little did I know, that when I opened my eyes...

He was gone.
