Will ran and ran. His eyes were filled with tears and they kept pouring down his face. He knew where he wanted to go but he wasn't sure he was going the right way. He had snapped. He was completely confused as to what was really going on. All he really knew was that he needed the pain to stop and he needed it to stop now.

He didn't even notice all the people that stared as he ran by them. He tripped and fell at one point and a young man started to offer to help him up, but as soon as he collected himself he was off again. He let out a whimper and started praying for God to forgive him for what he was about to do.

Finally, Will reached the back of the boat. The water was roaring. He was happy about this. He didn't want his last few seconds to be silent. He wiped his eyes and turned around to make sure no one was around. All the other passengers were either inside their cabins or at the front of the boat. He hoped no one had followed him.

He grabbed onto the railing and lifted himself up, crawling over to the other side of it. He looked down and gasped. It was a long fall. When he hit the water it would surely hurt. He began to have second thoughts about what he was doing, but immediately kicked himself. This had to be done. He couldn't stand his life anymore. He closed his eyes and began to let go.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Will's eyes opened and his head snapped around. There stood a (very handsome) brunette young man, wearing a light brown flannel shirt and grey poor-looking pants. He had on brown boots with long laces and a dark blue vest.

Will just stared at him. He hadn't heard him over the roaring of the water. He shook his head. "Go away!" The boy took a step forward, and Will leaned forward. "Stop right there! I'll jump, I swear I will!"

The boy stopped, holding his hands up. "Okay, whoa now. What… what are you doing?"

"What's it look like I'm doing?" Will looked down at the water.

The boy raised an eyebrow. "Um… taking a late-night swim? Honestly I wouldn't exactly recommend that."

Will tried to hide a smile. He wouldn't look at the boy. He closed his eyes and kept facing straight ahead. "Well who are you to tell me what to do? Go away. You do your thing and I'll do mine."

The boy just stared at him. "I wasn't being serious. I know what you're doing."

Will opened his eyes a bit. "You don't know me. You don't know me at all. How can you possibly know what I'm doing?"

The boy made a face. "It's… sorta obvious."

Will rolled his eyes. "Just go away! You don't even know me, this is none of your business."

The boy shrugged. "It is now." He took another step forward but Will didn't see it.

Will shook his head. "No, I don't want you here. Just go away."

"Harsh." The boy took a step forward, then stopped. He looked down. "You know… I went to a very expensive school in Southampton."

Will scoffed. "You're lying."

"No, I did. We studied a lot about water pressure and volume there. Water has a volume of 619 meters."

"Yeah, so?"

"Force is equal to acceleration. Acceleration is equal to density, or volume. Density is 1,000 kilograms. Gravity is 9.8—"

"Where are you going with this?!" Will snapped, turning his head.

The boy almost smiled. "Would you like for me to simplify that?"

He really is smart. Will sighed. "Whatever. Just hurry and leave."

"It means that when you hit the water down there, the force will be so strong that your bones will break. And it will be so cold that on impact it will send you into shock. When you are in shock you can still feel. And you'll be down there feeling indescribable pain, like a thousand nails being driven into you at one time, until you finally drown. Which can take up to four minutes."

Will's mouth fell open in shock. He hadn't really thought about that. He kicked himself again. He couldn't stop now. He growled under his breath. "What do you care? You don't even know me. I'll be down there drowning and sure, you'll feel sympathy because you just watched someone kill himself but you'll get over it. You don't care."

The boy bit his lip. "If I didn't care, then why would I still be here?"

"You're just saving someone. I am of no value to you."

The boy walked forward and grabbed the back of Will's shoulder. "Trust me…" He contemplated on whether he should say what was running through his mind. Finally he sighed. "Trust me… I care if someone as adorable as you leaves this world feeling like there's no other way out. Because there is. I promise you. It may seem like there is no escape but there is. Change is coming. You just have to wait a little longer."

Did he just call me adorable?!

Will looked at the boy. "You think… I'm adorable?"

The boy grinned. "You're not punching me so I take that as a good sign. Now please…" He grabbed Will's arm. "Change your mind? Turn around and let me help you back on the ship?"

Will thought for a second. It would really hurt…

He laughed. "Okay, fine." He grabbed the boy's shoulders for support and slowly turned around on the railing. He looked at him. "My name is Will DiMera."

The boy nodded. "Jackson Kiriakis. But everyone calls me Sonny."

Will half-smiled. "Sonny… that's a nice name."

Sonny giggled. "Thank you." He lifted Will up and over the rail.

Will leaned back and sighed, staring at Sonny. "Wow… thank you. You… saved my life."

Sonny shrugged. "It's no big deal. Come on. Let's get you back to civilization."

They both laughed. Will followed Sonny back to the front of the boat, where Sonny's mother was waiting. She smiled. "Oh, you made a new friend!" She ran to shake Will's hand. "Hi, I'm Adrienne Kiriakis. Is everything alright? We saw you running past. You looked like you had just seen a ghost."

Will smiled and shook his head. "Nah, no ghost. But your son…" He looked at Sonny. "Your son is a really good person."

Adrienne made a face and looked at Sonny. "Why? What did he do?"

"Don't worry about it," Sonny replied.

"Yeah. Let's just say he was there for me when I really had no one." Will seemed humble.

Adrienne giggled. "Wow, you've only known each other for ten minutes and already you're there for each other. How nice!"

Will started to speak when Sami appeared. She did not look happy. She looked at Will. "Come on. Your father is not happy."

"He's not my father," Will said angrily.

Sami looked at Sonny and Adrienne, then grimaced. "Who are you?"

"I'm Adrienne, and this is my son, Sonny." Adrienne held out her hand. "Nice to meet you! You have a very nice son."

Sami grabbed Adrienne's fingers and shook them slightly. "Charmed." She quickly snapped her hand away. "William, let's go." She grabbed Will's arm and pulled him away.

Will looked back at Sonny and Adrienne. "Uh, thank you!" he called back.

Sonny smiled and waved. "Don't mention it!"

Will grinned as Sami continued to pull him away.

After they were gone, Adrienne looked at Sonny. "Well, it seems like you have a new crush."

Sonny made a face. "What are you talking about? I just met him."

"He's a homosexual."

Sonny's eyes widened. "Mom! You don't know!"

"I'm pretty sure." She grinned at her son. "You don't see heterosexuals acting like that."

"Like what?"

Adrienne rolled her eyes. "Come on. Let's get to bed." She chuckled and lead Sonny away.

A/N: I'm so sorry! I've been very busy with school and whatnot and because of this I sort of fell out of watching Days so I lost inspiration. Summer is here now though and I'm watching it again, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of inspiration :D Reviews are appreciated, as always! Thanks!
