It has been a long time since I have written a short story. I am a huge Days and Wilson fan. Since I had some free time I figured I would give this a shot. It is probably going to be completely terrible. Just warning you in advance :)


Will was startled awake. Something didn't feel right. He rolled over in bed, reaching out for his boyfriend.

"Babe?" Will called out.

Sonny wasn't there. His side of the bed still made. Will shot up in bed. Looking for something that indicated Sonny was home. No jacket. No keys. No cellphone.

"Sonny?" Will yelled out.

Will's heart started to race. He looked over at the clock, it read 1 am. Will had fallen asleep studying for his economics test the following morning. Where are you Sonny? Why aren't you home? Will thought. Will shot up out of bed, searching for his phone. He needed to hear Sonny's voice to make sure everything was ok. He called Sonny's phone and it went straight to voicemail.

"Babe. It's me. It's 1 am and you're not home. I'm worried. Please call me back or come home!" Will said with desperation in his voice.

Uneasiness begins to build in Will's chest. He knows something is wrong. This isn't like Sonny to be out late and not call. Will starts thumbing through his contacts calling anyone that might know where Sonny is. Neil, Dustin, Kareem, Tyler, Abby, Brian. No one has seen or heard from him all day.

Will calls up Chad, "Hey. It's Will. You don't happen to know where Sonny is, do you?"

"I haven't seen him since I left the coffeehouse. That was around 3. Why? What's up?" Chad asks.

"He hasn't come home. And I can't seem to get ahold of him. It just goes straight to voicemail. He didn't mention anything to you about doing something after work?" Will replies.

"No, man. Sorry. I'm sure it's nothing. But I'll see if I can track him down. Let me call Lauren. She was closing with Sonny tonight." Chad says.

"Thanks. I'd appreciate that. I'm sure I'm just overreacting." Will says, unconvincingly.

Will doesn't know what to do. He can't just sit here and wait. He reluctantly calls Justin and Adrienne, not wanting to worry or wake them up.

"Hey, Mr. Kirakis. It's Will.

"Uh. Hey Will. It's kind of late. What's up?" Answered Justin.

"You wouldn't happen to know where Sonny is, would you?" Will replied.

"No. I haven't seen him since lunch. Why?" asked Justin.

"Oh, I'm sure it's nothing. He just hasn't come home and I can't get ahold of him. I'm just worried." Will replied.

"Hmmm. I don't know, Will. I'm sorry. I'll see if I can get ahold of him," said Justin.

Will hangs up the phone. He is starting to become frantic. As much as he tries to convince himself that he is just overreacting, there's this nagging feeling that something is terribly wrong. Will quickly gets dressed and decides to start looking for Sonny. He decides to start at the coffeehouse, since that was the last place anyone has seen him.

Will's phone rings. "Sonny? Is that you? Hello?" Will frantically says.

"No, man. It's me," replies Chad.

"Oh," Will said disappointed.

"I just got off the phone with Lauren," Chad said. "She said that Sonny let her leave early, since it was slow. And that he would just close up by himself. She said she left around 9:30. But everything seemed fine when she left."

"Oh," replied Will. "Thanks for asking. I think I will just head over to the coffeehouse and see if he's still there. "

"Ok, man," said Chad. "Let me know what you find out."

Will arrives at the coffeehouse and the lights are still on. That's odd. Will thought. He also sees the front door is slightly ajar. Will's heart starts to race. Something isn't right here. He begins to take shaky steps towards the door, afraid of what lies on the other side. He can feel the blood draining from his body as he grabs the door handle. He can barely breathe. He takes one last shaky breath before he pulls the door open. His eyes quickly scan the coffeehouse, looking for Sonny. Will is hoping that Sonny isn't in here.

There are tables and chairs lying on their sides. Coffee grounds and mugs on the floor. Cash register is open. Oh, God Will thought. Sonny please be ok. Please say you weren't here when this happened. Will pulls out his phone and calls his grandpa Roman to tell him that it looks like someone broke into Common Grounds and he can't seem to get ahold of Sonny.

"Will," says Roman. "I'm on my way. You need to get out of there, I don't want you to disturb the possible crime scene."

"No, grandpa," replies Will. "I have to make sure Sonny isn't here."

Will enters Sonny's office and is about to hang up the phone when his heart drops.

"Oh, God!" Will screams. "NO! Sonny!"

Will drops his phone and falls to his knees.
