Summary
His grip on her shirt is tight and trembling, his knuckles as white as the sickly hue of his skin. Charlie doesn’t think she’s seen John like this...ever. Not even when they had gone off and broken the timeline.
“Fix this, Charlie. I don’t care how just-just //please//.”
The immediate aftermath of “I am Legends”, before Charlie gets her TV production running.

the one that always makes me cry because all the legends and everyone is dead except John and he's literally having a psychotic breakdown and begging Charlie to fix it and she promises to make him happy in the new reality and UUGGGHHHH 😭
“Fix this, Charlie. I don’t care how just-just please.”
Charlie wonders if she’s gone just as pale. John Constantine doesn’t beg. Not like this. Never like this.
“John…”
“Say you’ll do it. Charlie, swear it. Please I can’t‒I can’t do this anymore.”
“Yes, John.” She yanks at his arms, pulling him up until their noses are pressed together. He smells like shit, and she does too. She gets a whiff of the stale alcohol and smoke on his breath, and for a moment she thinks about the last drinks they had shared together with the team. It had only been a few hours‒ a few bloody hours ‒ ago when they were sitting around the table, just cheering cups with easy smiles, and talking about their dreams
Dreams…
“I’ll fix everything, John. The Legends will live, they’ll be happy. It’s all gonna work out, mate. I swear to you, I’ll make it happen.”
“Happy…” He rolls the word around his tongue as if it’s a foreign concept. She sniffs, pressing her forehead against his.
“I can make you happy too, Johnno. W-wouldn’t that be nice?”
“...Is that possible?” His voice is small, almost shy. She lets out a laugh and headbutts him, listening to him hiss with a sad smile.
“Anything for you, mate.”

At some point, John gives up.
There isn’t any sort of indication of what the final straw is. He just bloody does.
If he is being honest, he’s surprised that it took him so long to finally decide to stop.
