Mitch, Candice, Nicole and Todrick leave. In the car Mitch calls Jeremy begging him to push the flight up. He doesn't want to be anywhere near Arlington.

"He's lying." Todrick shakes his head. Even if no one else could, he could see through Scott's facade. He knew the moment those words left Scott's lips, he was lying. The look in his eyes alone gave it away.

"No one, in their right mind, can wait as long as he did for you to come back, only to 'decide' they don't love them anymore."

After they pulled off, Scott stood there stunned. Kevin shook his head and Esther began to cry. Avi slammed his fists against the hood of his car, ran his fingers through his hair and started walk away. Kirstie's phone rang with a text from Candice, she read it, and got angry.

Candice: Hey, Mitch's agent was able to find us an earlier flight. We're leaving tonight. He keeps saying he's never coming back but I think he's just hurt. I'll keep you updated.

"You have got to be the dumbest asshole I know."

"Kirst-"

"No! Let me finish! Sure he left. It hurt. We all can tell it hurt a lot but you spent YEARS wanting him back. Wanting to go find him. Thinking about him.....worrying about him. Then he comes back and for one day it felt like things were finally falling back into place. But he stopped it because he's scared. He didn't want to hurt you. The life he lives doesn't allow for a long distance relationship or whatever the hell it was going to be."

She walked up to him and sized him up. Which was funny because he's about a foot taller than her.

"He was gonna leave anyway."

"Because he has a career, you fucking dumbass. But he was going to come back. For you! But now all that time you spent missing him was for nothing. He's not coming back. Hope you enjoyed him while he was here because he's never coming back."

"I didn't mean.....he left before I could apologize."

"Too bad. You better find a way to get to him and FAST or so help me, Scott Richard Hoying, I will end you."

Before their emergency flight back to LA, Mitch decided to go to the one place he dreamed about the most, the converted ballroom Scott first proposed at. That place held so many memories. He wanted to cry. He never thought he come back here. This all was a distant memory. But one look in those blue eyes and he knew. He knew he could somehow manage to be a farmer's husband and a model. His career would die down after the fashion season was done. Maybe a few shows and photo shoots here and there but he would still come home. He realized it wasn't not going after his dreams that scared him into action. He was 21 and although he loved Scott, the thought of being that young and married terrified him. Being around Scott for the week and a half made him think it could still happen. He was being naive. He was so deep in thought he failed to hear the door open.

"Somehow, I knew I'd find you here."

"Scott, leave me alone."

"Not until you hear what I have say. 4 and half years ago, I stood right here and I asked you to marry me. I meant it. I thought you loved me as much a-"

"Scott, I did. I just wa-"

"Let me finish. I wanted to get married and start a family with you, Mitchy. But you had dreams bigger than this little town. Bigger than me. I understood it then no matter how much it hurt and I understand it now."

"What is this? Some speech on how much you loved but I threw it away... I know that. Everybody in this God forsaken town told me. But I'm here now. Scott, I don't care about the magazines or....or....the runways. I only care about you. I love you. I meant it when I said you haunted my dreams. I'd throw it all away if it meant spending my life with you."

"Mitch, I can't let you do that. Modeling was your dream. You're living y-"

"But that dream means nothing if I don't have you there with me. Please give me chance to show you how much I want to make this work."

The drive there gave Scott a lot of time to think. He knew how easy Mitch rushes to decisions. As much as it hurt him again to let him go, he had to.

"I did it once and now I have to do it again. I have to let you go. You'll find someone else. Someone more accustomed to the life you live now."

"Scott, please don't do this."

"Mitchy, I love you. I always will."

He turned around to walk out but Mitch ran up to catch him.

"Scott, wait! If......if this is how it has to be... Kiss me. Once. Please!"

Scott nodded and closed the gap between them. He brought his hand up and caressed Mitch's chin before kissing him softly. Scott rested his forehead on Mitch's while wiping a stray tear from his face.

"I love you, pretty boy. Please remember that."

He let Mitch go only after kissing him of the forehead. He calmly walked past Candice and Kirstie, who followed him there. He had tears in his eyes as he nodded to the both of them and walked out. Mitch stood, quietly sobbing. Kirstie and Candice walked up and grabbed him.

"Oh Mitchy!"

"Candice, Im ready to go."
