Chapter one

Will I am here living the life that everyone dreams of .
I have two parents who love me support me and accept me for who I am .
When I am asked when I came out of the closet I say that you have to be in the closet in order to come out so there was no oh by the way I am gay shock and awe effect with me because I have always lived my life being comfortable with who I am.
Everyone knew that I was gay and when I was 16 I came home and introduced my boyfriend to them and it was such a natural uneventful event that there were no questions doubts or judgment on anyones part because I am Will .
When I turned 19 I went to my parents and I told them that I love them but I really need to make more of my life than being a trust fund baby and with that being said they understood and with 5000.00 one suitcase and going to parts unknown I will know where it is when I get there. My parents left me with the parting words if you need us in any way call us and we will help otherwise we will trust you to go out and spread your wings and become your own man.
Sonny Mom Dad we need to talk do you have some time?
Sonny was so nervous and scared that he was almost sick but everyone sat down except Sonny and he kept standing and pacing finnally he stopped and he calmed diownhe looked at his parents and he said mom dad I have been struggling for so long trying to fight who I really am but I can not do that anymore.
I have to tell you that I am gay.
Sonnys mom stood up and she was yelling at him and she said where did youever get that crazy Idea from? Sonny you are not gay.
My son is not gay . My son is a real man not a perverted faggot queer. His dad said. Sonny was crying he said yes I am in fact a gay man I am not perverted this not just an idea it is who I have been since I was born. I am still your son . Sonnys dad said I want you out of my house now and you are not taking anything that my money has paid for that my son has recived because you are not my son who I raised . I want the car keys the house keys and your phone. If you chose to be gay then you can chose to live some where else because no fairy is a son of mine . Get out of my sight do not call and do not cry because at this point you have single handedly distoyed our whole family. I am leaving but before I do leave please understand that no matter what I am always going to love you no matter where life takes me. I just can not keep living a lie I have to live the life that I was born to live and be the person who can love himself one day I hope that you can open up your heart and realize that I am the same Sonny as I was before we started this conversation and with a heavy heart and though pain and tears Sonny walked out of the door.
The time has past and it has been raining and it is very cold but Sonny could feel nothing compared to the numbing fact of losing his family only because they hated the fact that he is a gay did not realize that he had been walking for several hours and at this point he did not care about the time he found a park bench and he sat downand all of the tears and the raw emotions of the day started to run freely in the cold wetness of the rain. Will got off of the train and he started to walk around and then suddenly it hit him he really was in parts unknown and it did not bother him because atleast he could be his own man and pull his own weight in the world with out it being given to him. He did not want the sense of intitlement that came from the lifestyle of the upper crust . Now he can just be Will a good man who works for what he wants and needs in life.
Will just could not live his life given everything he wanted without working for it . Will wanted to become someone other than the son of old money and he will.

Will Ok now I am here where here is I have no idea but I will find out soon enough . Will saw a sign that says Welcome to Brownsville and so this is where anywhere USA is?
Well it is raining and quite cold so I m going to cut through this park and see where the closest place is to grab a bit to eat and get warm. Maybe I can meet some people and they can sort of give me the ins and outs of this town. Even in the rain I know that here is a place where I was intended to be.
Sonny was shivering and he was still crying at this point he was so upset that the only energy he has are the tears rolling down his face.
Will Man it is cold out here but soon I am going to find some one I know there has to be atlest one person in this town even if it is a small town . Just as he finished that thought he saw Sonny sitting on the bench wearing nothing but sweat pants and a short sleeve tee shirt .
Sonny was completely soaked and he is was just crumbled in defeat and pain .
Will ran up to Sonny and he tried to speak to him but Sonny was as if he was in a catatonic state and so Will placed his hand on Sonnys arm and he felt like ice. Will decided to give Sonny his coat to warm him up and he picked the broken hearted young man up into his arms and then he started to run and once he exited the park he saw the town filled with little shops nothing fancy but they seemed to be kepted up well. As he was running he came across another younger man and asked if there was a place close by where he could get Sonny a warm meal and out of the cold rain?The younger man said yes that his family owned a small cafe around the corner and Will followed the younger man around the corner still carrying Sonny.
Will gently sat Sonny down in a booth and ordered a hot chocolate and Sonny was so weak at this point Will was feeding the beverage to Sonny . They were half way through the second hot chocolate and Sonny reached up and took it from Will and softly said thank you and Will said you are welcome. Will asked Sonny if he was hungery and Sonny said yeah I guess it must have been a while since he had eatten because it was dark outside now. Will ordered Sonny two bowls of soup and told him that he was going to keep it light since he had been so upset he didnt want him to get sick.
Will had noticed that some of the color was starting to retrun to his face but he did not make a big deal out of it he just said it looks like you might be warmer. Sonny spoke softly and said its Sonny Will asked what was Sonny .Sonny is my name well my real name is Jackson but everyone has always called me Sonny. Will said hello Sonny nice to meet you my name is Will but my real name is Wiliam but everyone has aslways called me smiled and when he did Will absolutly was drawn into it and looking at Sonny even on that bench Will knew that he was head over heels in love with this man and no mater what it takes or how long he has to wait he will because Sonny will be worth it.

Sonny Oh shit ! I have ruined someones coat .Will said well Sonny it was mine but now it is yours I have another one by the looks of it you need it more than I do seeing how you are only in sweats and a tee shirt you need a bit more than just a coat.
Sonny got quiet and Will said it is ok Sonny I am not judging you I just want to help. Do you have a place to stay? I will walk you home if you want? Sonny says I dont even know where I am and as far as home there is no such thing anymore for spoke up and said ok Sonny this is what we are going to do I am going to get us a place to stay for the night tomorrow we are going to go and look for a place to live and get ourselves a job . Sonny says Will no way !
I can not let you do looked into Sonnys eyes and he said Sonny you have no other options at the moment so we are going to do this my way for now. Will why are you doing this for me I do not understand ? Will answered simplely Sonny I am sure that if the roles were reversed that you would do the samething. Sonny said Will you really are an amazing person I dont know where you came from but I am so happy that you and I crossed said Sonny what I am doing is giving you a start but you have to take the next both have to find a job I am not sure about you but for me it may take a while because I do not have a whole lot of exserience in public work but I am not going to give up until I do find a job.
Sonny asked Will if he had ever had a job or gone to collage?
Will said yes I was in advanced classes in colledge and so I got my degree early I finished high school when I was 16 and at 18 I had my degree in Marketing and business. Sonny said do you hink that you will be able to find a job in those feilds ? Will said perhaps some day but at this moment we both need to look at the here and now and let the future play out on its own. Sonny said Will I honestly have never met anyone at all who thinks the way that you do most people our age are just dreamers and think that the world owes them because they were born into it but you do not strike me as that kind of person.
Sonny I am going to be honest and straight up with you my family they are from old money and lots of it but I am not cut out to be a trust fund baby getting everything handed to me on a silver platter and if I wanted to I could turn right around and go right back into that life but I do not want that . I want to earn my own way and be my own man I am going to suceed not because of my parents networth but because I have busted my ass to do it. You are more than welcome to walk the same path with me or in the morning you can go your own way I am not going to pressure you into doing anything but this is what I am about where I came from and where I am going but for now I have to take baby steps and get on my feet a bit before I can work on my dreams . Sonny sat here and he tried to soak everything in that Will just told him and sat there in amazment. The cafe was about to close when Will asked if there was a place where he and Sonny could stay for the night and the woman said yes there is a place it is three blocks from here . She said oh and I could not help but to hear you two talking and if you guys come by tomorrow and fill out the paper work you both will have jobs and I will pay you very fairly.
Both Sonny and Will left the cafe and they were completely estatic because they had two of the three most important things taken care of now they need to find a place to live.
