Eventually he packs his things and is walking down a deserted road and soon gets to an automobile store and buys a car. He drives to his girlfriend's (video model Jennifer also seen in Omarion's "O" Video) house and she jumps up and hugs him. Night falls and as the song states he puts her to "Bed".
