Sonny had made it back tot he family cabin safely. He hadn't bothered to unpack his suitcase right away, but instead just pulled out clothes to wear to bed. He climbed into them and went to bed for a couple of ours, as he was tired due to jetlag.

Suddenly, Sonny woke up in a fright, screaming out Will's name. He looked down at his hands and they were shaking. He didn't know why he was feeling like this, but he felt that his whole world was about to fall apart. He didn't want to believe that what he'd just seen in his dream about Will was true, so he closed his eyes and hoped that God would hear his plea and save his true love.

"Baby, don't give up. I love you!"

As he lay there in his bed, he thought about his reaction to hearing Adrienne's hateful and cruel words to Will. At the time it had shocked him to the core to find out that his own mother disliked his boyfriend so much. By the time he had been able to breathe again, Will had already left and he'd never gotten the chance to make things right. He didn't know if he'd ever be able to forgive her for what she had said to Will.

Toby had made a promise that if Will wanted to go to the gathering, he would go with him as backup, just in case the bitch started something. Will didn't want to go, but he was told by his father that he needed to be there to support his cousin and his Aunt Jennifer, so he felt he had no choice but to go.

"Will, let me know if and when you want to leave and we'll get out of here," Toby said as he pulled up outside the gate of the famous Kiriakis mansion.

"Thanks, Toby."

As they were getting out of the car, Chad came out the gate to show them through the back entrance so they wouldn't have to go into the main house since everyone was out back in the large garden to take advantage of the beautiful sunny day.

"Hey, guys."

"Hey, Chad."

The three of them walked through the back entrance, making plans to meet up later if Abigail felt up to it.

Will spotted his parents and went over to say hi to them and his grandmother Marlena who was standing with them. He hadn't seen her for a week since she'd been away with John.

"Hello everyone."

Marlena could always tell when something was wrong with him, and since she'd been away, she hadn't heard about the situation with Sonny or what had happened between Will and Adrienne. Not wanting to put Will on the spot, she pulled him into her normal 'missed you' hug, and whispered in his ear as they hugged.

"Do you need to talk about it? We can do it once this is over."

"Yes, can we? I really need to talk to you."

"Of course, Will, you come and get me when you're ready to leave and we'll go to my place and talk."

"Ok. I'm going to go and find Abigail and Aunt Jen. I really missed you, Grandma,"

After twenty minutes, Will finally found his cousin. He walked up and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hi Abigail."

"Hi Will. How are you doing, sweetie? I toldyou that you didn't have to come, but it means the world that you are here."

"Well, honestly, I wasn't going to come but Dad made me. I won't stay long though, ok? Where's your mum? I wanted to say hi and give her a big hug and kiss."

"She will be back in a second. Stay here and keep me company."

"Ok."

"Will, can I ask you a question? Did you read his letter?"

"Yeah, I did a few times actually. The words just wouldn't sink in the first time. But let's not talk about my screwed up life, ok? Not here. This night is about you and your mum, not me."

"Why? What's going on now?"

"Hello, Aunt Jen! Let me take that for you." Will grabbed the fruit platter from her hands and went to place it on one of the many tables, then walked back to where she and Abigail were standing.

"Wow, I haven't seen you in so long. How are you doing lately with work and your studies?"

"I am fine. Just taking it one day at the time with my studies. But enough about me. How are you doing?" He leaned in and gave his Aunt Jennifer a big hug and kiss on her cheek.

"We have our good days and bad ones, but Jack would have loved to see this."

Will was about to say something when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he came face to face with the man he had come to care for as a second father. He took a deep breath to steady himself.

"Hello, Mr. Kiriakis, I am so sorry for your loss."

"Will, come on. It's still Justin to you. How are you doing?"

"I am really great. Busy with school and work." Justin could see that Will was lying.

"Will are you happy being back here?"

"Yes, of course. I mean in the end everyone has woken up from their pretend life and realized that not everyone gets a happy ending. It was really nice to see you again, Mr. Kiriakis." Will started to walk over to his grandmother, but he could see that she was talking to someone, so he started to head for his pals. Just a few steps before he reached them, he heard that voice again.

"How dare you come here to my brother's gathering! I never invited you!"

Will just kept walking. He didn't turn around, as he didn't want to cause a scene. Adrienne wouldn't be ignored and grabbed his arm.

"Excuse me, I was asking you a question! Don't you walk away without answering me!" Everyone looked to see what she was screaming about.

Suddenly Will was being pushed aside by Toby, who had been watching everything. He didn't care if he pissed people off. He wasn't related to any of them, and he was there for Will.

"Let me answer that for you. Will is here for his cousin, Abigail, and his Aunt Jennifer, who are both very nice ladies who I have had the pleasure of being around quite often over the last few years. You, on the other hand, are a bitch. You wouldn't know how to be a lady!"

"How dare you speak to me like this!"

"How dare I speak to you like that? Well, that's a joke. What I just said to you just now was nothing compared to what you said to my dear friend not once, but twice. You called him trash. You told him that he was never going to be a part of your son's life ifyou had your way, and that the world wouldn't miss him if he went and died somewhere. You said that he was a heartless person for walking away from your son and leaving him an emotional mess, but if I were Sonny, I would be a mess because I had you as a mother. Speaking of Sonny, where is he? If this is a family gathering, where is your son?"

Justin had been listening to everything that Will's friend was saying. He slowly moved in closer, as he wanted to hear how she was going to answer. He could see that Will was getting upset because everyone was listening.

"He left to go and try to move on from your boyfriend. I'm glad he's not here to hear this."

Toby turned around to look Will in the eyes before he said anything that would reveal that Will had read the letter explaining why Sonny was gone. When Will gave Toby the nod to say it, he turned back around to her.

"Do you even know where your son told the pilot to take him when he left yesterday? Did he say goodbye, or has he even spoken to you since the other day when you made your true feelings very clear to Will in front of him? I can tell you one thing. If I were Sonny and had witnessed my own mother telling my soul mate that he was nothing and that if she had her way then he would never have a chance with me in the first place, I would be on the next plane out of here and I would never look your way again."

"Sir, I am sorry for your loss."

"Thank you. Will, I am truly sorry about everything."

"Thanks." Will turned around and walked away, thankful that he had such really great friends like Toby looking out for him.
