*Will and Sonny's apartment*
Sonny walks in, sees Will sitting on their couch, visibly shaken.
Sonny: Will? What's wrong? What happened?
Will looks up at Sonny, gets up, walks to him.
Sonny puts out his arms for a hug, Will stops him by grabbing Sonny's left hand and playing with his wedding ring.
Will: What does this mean to you?
Sonny: Everything...you know it means the world to me..why are you asking me that? Will, please tell me what has you so upset!
Will looks Sonny in the eye and says, "When were you going to tell me?"
Sonny: Tell you what Will? Come on you're scaring me!
Will: That Paul is your ex and that you have kissed him since he has been in town...twice.
Sonny stands there in shock, not knowing what to say.
Will; Aren't you going to deny it? Tell me I was lied to, that you would NEVER dishonor our wedding vows like that and demand to know who told me such a lie Sonny?
Sonny looks down and away in looks back up at Will and says
Will? Can I explain? Will you let me tell you what happened? Will you hear me out?
Will looks at Sonny, drops his hand and sits on the couch. (what makes this so much more heartbreaking is Will has barely spoken above a whisper the entire time and that rips Sonny up. he knows how hurt Will is. That he has a lot of work to do and he hopes to God they can work through this, because if they can't it is entirely HIS fault!)
Will: Go ahead, explain how this happened. I mean I know I shouldn't have left and gone to LA. I know I should have called you more. I realize what a huge mistake that was, but I was only gone a month, did I deserve this Sonny? Did what I do make it ok for you to kiss another man while I was gone? Were you punishing me Sonny? Getting back at me for going? You told me it was ok to go. You should have told me not too if you wanted me to stay. (Will looks away and down at his hands) Sonny closes his eyes, torment crosses his face. "No Will you did not deserve this, it wasn't intentional, I was shocked when I saw Paul in the hospital, he took me by surprise and...I let it happen. There is no excuse. I am so sorry Will! God you have no idea how sorry I am!"
Will: So after the first time, shock you said..ok so the second time..why did it happen a second time? When did you tell him you were married?
Sonny: I don't know why the second time happened and I didn't tell him...right away I was married. God Will I messed up BIG time..I ...I went to his hospital room later that day...after the second kiss and told him it couldn't happen again, that I was married, that I love my husband, that you are a great guy..I told him about our wedding and your great- grandma
Caroline's amazing speech at our wedding! I promised him years ago that I would never reveal his secret. Not even to you. I am SO, so sorry Will. can we work this out? Can you ever forgive me?
Will: I never expected this to happen Sonny. I mean I know I screwed up when I left but I thought we were in a good place ...I..just don't know what to think. I am so angry but I am more hurt than angry. You are the first and ONLY man I have ever loved. How do I wrap my head around this? I need to think about this for a while. Can you watch Ari for me please?
Sonny; Will ...I...I am so so sorry, please just...remember I love you.
. I messed up..I promise it will never happen again. I know you probably feel like you can't trust me but...so much has been going on and that is not an excuse but my head has been messed up lately and I made a horrible mistake...yes, yes I will watch Ari. Please Will, just come home tonight, come home...to me...please!
Will stands up, walks to Sonny, looks him in the eye for a brief moment. "I'll be back..I just need some time and space to work through this" He walks around Sonny and goes out the door.
Sonny slowly sits on the couch, puts his head in his hands and quietly cries.
Fade out.
