So, in case you guys don't know...Will is gonna be killed off. This is how I feel it should be done, but, this is just my opinion.

I can't believe they totally demolished the gay storyline on Days. Say what you will about Luke and Noah (and Kurt and Blaine), but at least they're still ALIVE and will find their way back to each other (Luke and Noah, that is. Klaine's already married and have a daughter).

These past few weeks have been the hardest for Will. Still no word from Sonny, and there's the face that both his uncle's and cousin's ex-girlfriends were murdered, his grandmother was attacked, and his good friend is a suspect. He wished more than ever that he hadn't screwed up his marriage. Counseling seemed to be helping a little.

He did, however, get some surprisingly good news: Gabi got released from prison early. However, she had a lot of restrictions: She has to live with a responsible family member, she has to wear an ankle monitor, and she can't leave the state for ten years. Gabi visited Will and Ari every day. Will filled Gabi in on everything she missed. He vented about his marital problems.

"So, Sonny still hasn't called you?" Gabi asked.

Will sighed sadly and slumped on the couch. "No, and he never will. I messed up so so badly, Gabi. He's never gonna forgive me."

"Sure he will. He will!" Gabi assured him. "I mean, I've pulled way worse than you and he forgave me everything. If he can forgive me, he can forgive you."

"But he was in love with me. And that means something." Will lamented.

Gabi squeezed his hand comfortingly. "It's gonna be okay. You two share a bond that can't be broken no matter how messed up things get."

Will smiled sadly. "I wish I could believe that. But, it's over. I blew it. I blew the best thing that ever happened to me. Why? Why do I do that?"

"I think…I think it's because…you've been through so much crap, you don't know how to handle good things that happen to you." Gabi shrugged. "I'm kind of the same way. I learned to just enjoy it while it lasts."

"I wish I did that." Will admitted. "Then maybe this whole mess wouldn't have happened."

"I'm sorry." Gabi shook her head sadly. She sighed and her phone rang. "Oh. It's Sonny. He must have heard the good news. Hey, Sonny!"

"Hey! I heard that a certain friend of mine was out of prison." Sonny replied.

Gabi chuckled. "Yeah. It's a relief, really."

"Ari must be so elated to have her Mami back." Sonny said.

"She is." Gabi nodded. "Will's glad to have me back, too."

Sonny was silent for a minute. "How's he doing?"

"Okay." Gabi glanced at Will. "He really misses you."

Sonny swallowed and whispered. "So do I."

"Then why don't you tell him?" Gabi asked.

"I'm still angry." Sonny replied. "He's said he's sorry a million times, and I believe him. But…I'm just not there yet."

"You know…I've learned a lot over the past year." Gabi said. "One thing I've learned is that sometimes it's the not forgiving that holds us back from living."

"Thanks. I'll remember that." Sonny replied.

"Good." Gabi cleared her throat. "So…how is Paris?"

Gabi and Sonny talked some more. Their phone conversation ended with Sonny promising to send Gabi some discount Chanel clothes as long as she pays him back.

Sonny thought long and hard about his conversation with Gabi about Will. It's true he missed Will despite everything. But…honestly? Will isn't the man he fell in love with. Not anymore. Then again…he is going to therapy. Maybe there is still a chance. He'll never know if he doesn't try, right?

Will sat at his laptop working on his next article. Ari and Gabi were both at Rafe's apartment. He was surprised to get a Skype call, and even more surprised that it was from his estranged husband.

"Hey, Will." Sonny greeted.

"Hi." Will answered. "How's Pa-ree?"

"Good."

"What are you doing up? It's like four in the morning over there." Will wondered.

"I couldn't sleep." Sonny shrugged. "I think it's because I miss you like crazy, even though I'm still mad at you."

Will nodded. "I really am sorry for everything I put you through. I really do want you back."

"You had me. All of me. And you threw me away like a piece of trash." Sonny couldn't help venting.

"It was a mistake. I see it now." Will insisted. "I wish I could change the past, but I know I can't."

"What would you have changed?" Sonny asked. "Never agreed to marry me so young? Never…?"

"Never gone to LA." Will answered. "I would have stayed in Salem. That was the start of all our troubles. Will and Sonny. That was all we needed, right?"

Sonny swallowed and nodded. "Right. Although…I share some of the blame for our marriage going to hell. I've lied to you, kept secrets…treated you like a little brother than a husband- an equal…"

Will chuckled. "Wow, we really suck at being married."

Sonny laughed. "Well, it's never too late to change."

"What are you saying?" Will asked, slightly hopeful.

"I'm saying…it's taken me a long time to get to this point, but…I forgive you." Sonny said.

Will got choked up. It felt like a great weight has been lifted off of him. "Thank you. I forgive you, too. Sonny…you are my first love. And I want more than anything for you to be my last. But I know it will take a long while to get back to the way things were before."

"Well, there's only one way to find out." Sonny smiled. "I want to give you one more chance."

"Really?" Will asked, sounding hopeful.

"Yes. But let me warn you: this will also be your last chance." Sonny said firmly.

"Okay. Okay. I promise- I will not screw it up this time." Will nodded and laughed in relief.

Sonny smiled. "You know…you could come to Paris. It is getting a little lonely."

"I definitely will visit." Will promised. "I'll bring Ari with me, too."

"That would be great!" Sonny exclaimed. He missed his little girl. "Hey, you wanna see the view from my apartment window?"

"Sure! A little sneak preview to what I'll be visiting." Will chuckled. Sonny brought his tablet to his window. The Eiffel Tower was barely visible. "Wow!"

"Not the most attractive neighborhood, but, you can sort of see the Eiffel Tower." Sonny shrugged. He sat down on his bed and turned the tablet back around. "Not bad, huh?"

Will chuckled. "'Not bad'? I wouldn't even blame you if you decided to never leave!"

Sonny laughed. "Well, I did promise my uncle I wouldn't stay away too long."

"Good!" Will said. "I've really taken our relationship for granted. I didn't know how to handle happiness, and…this time, I promise to enjoy it while I can."

"You're making a lot of promises." Sonny half-teased.

"And this time, I'll keep them." Will said. "Guess what I'm gonna say next?"

"'I promise'?" Sonny smirked.

Will laughed. "Yeah, you got it!"

Sonny chuckled. "I love you so much, Will."

"I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that." Will said sincerely. "I love you, too."

"I'll see you soon." Sonny replied.

Will closed out of Skype and shut his laptop and sighed in content. For the first time in a long time, things were getting better. He was so happy, he didn't notice a strange figure climbing through the window.

Gabi carried her daughter to Will's apartment. "Aww, are you tired? Oh, I wish I could live here with you and your daddy, mi'ja, but…rules are rules. I have to live with your Tio Rafe. I'm just so glad me and your daddy get along so well. Yes, I am." She opened the door and stepped in. "Will? You still up?" She looked around, but couldn't see him. "Hmm. Looks like Daddy's asleep." She tiptoed to Ari's room and tucked her daughter into bed. She shut Ari's door quietly and turned to the kitchen. She looked down and noticed Will's arm laying on the floor, sticking out from behind the counter. Gabi rushed around and gasped in horror as she saw Will laying on the floor, dead. Eyes open, and a red necktie around his neck. Gabi wanted to scream, but she also didn't want to wake her daughter up. Instead, she sank to the floor, hyperventilating, and called for help.
