It has been nearly two years, when Will met Sonny. It was like an answered prayer that Will turned around and found Sonny. It took him a while to admit that he was gay, but he knew in his heart that he wanted to spend his life with Sonny.
Will sat on the couch in the Square, looking somewhere in his heart to ease the pain. He remembered a distinct memory when they were sitting on the couch and shared a kiss before they returned to studying. A small smile creeped on his face as the tears fell from his eyes. He quickly wiped them away when his mom saw him.
"Will. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine mom."
"Are you sure?" Sami kept pressuring him to tell her what was wrong. But he never gave in.
"I said I'm fine." He snapped at her and she reeled back from the tone in his voice as if he slapped her.
"I know how angry and sad you are right now, but you don't get to talk to me like that. I'm trying to help you. I just want you to know that I'm here for you if you need to talk."
"I don't want to talk about it. Please mom just leave me be." New tears slowly fell and he didn't want to tell her anything and tried to walk away.
"Just tell me. Is it Gabi? If she has said anything to you, I swear..."
"It wasn't Gabi. It was me. I did this to myself because I'm an idiot." His mind was full of regret of the past that he had with her.
"Why are you talking like that?" She looked at him with hurt in her eyes. It was bad enough that he is going through so much.
"Because it's the truth. I may or may not get custody of my baby. But I need her in my life as much as Nick and Gabi do. And I just lost the one person that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with." He walked away before she could say anything. She just hoped that there was something that she could do to make him feel better.
He didn't understand what he has been going through from the beginning. He thought of the day when he first met Will. It was as if some kind of plan in his life that led him to Will. He felt the loneliness disappear when his friendship with him got a lot easier and more comfortable. Will's apologies didn't seem enough to cure the pain at the moment.
The redness in his eyes, the streaks of heavy tears were painted on his face. Each perfect memory that they both shared in Sonny's apartment, made him feel weaker. He couldn't believe that Will assumed that he slept with Brian. Sonny kept playing around with the words that he said. It was the emptiness and anger that he tasted from his words. Looking around his apartment, he never felt more alone. He could hear Will's laughter on the night of Halloween. He could hear his voice, expressing his feelings towards him. And expressing his feelings to Will as well when they first made love.
"It's everything about you. You know, being with you. For the first time in my life, I feel secure in my own skin. For the first time ever. For the first time I feel like I know who I am. And for the fist time I feel like I know exactly where I want to be." Will expressed so much emotion in his voice.
"I think we're both exactly where we belong." Sonny gave him his million watt smile before he rested his head against Will's chest, hearing the beating of his heart.
He wanted to forget Will's recent past with Gabi and the mistakes and decisions that he made. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with him. Even if it meant telling him the truth about Gabi.
Their first times they shared everything and made memories in his apartment. Ignoring the drama in Salem and everyone else, and just enjoying each other. He wanted to build something more with Will. And he felt that it was taken from him. With new gained energy, Sonny took his keys off the counter and left to go and find Brian.
