"Sonny" Will whispered, and Sonny turned and stared into Will's eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you, I should have known you would never hurt me"
"I still hurt you Will, I may have been drugged but I still slept with Ryan. I don't understand it" Sonny said eyes filling with tears.
"No, baby don't cry. You didn't, Ryan lied. I heard him and Nick talking, it was all a lie. Even drugged you would never cheat on me" At those words Sonny let out a sigh, and felt like he could finally breathe for the first time since waking up next to Ryan.
"I love you so much Will."
"I love you Sonny. More then anything. We need to find a way to get out of this, I want to spend forever with you."
"Shut up over there no talking!" Nick yelled.
Ryan looked over to Will and Sonny, trying to find a way to help. He needed to make things right, he needed Sonny to be ok, he needed him to be happy. A few minutes later the boat was docked Nick grabbed Sonny, and told Ryan to get Will. Benny gave Nick directions to the cabin, he was going to stay at the boat and wait for Nick to return. They started following the path to the cabin, Nick and Sonny in the lead.
"Will" Ryan whispered "I have a plan. I am going to let you go, you need to run."
"NO! I am not leaving Sonny"
"Sonny will be fine, trust me"
"Seriously you want me to trust you."
"Shh, keep your voice down" Ryan said staring at Nick who was a few feet in front of them. "Please you need to trust me. I promise, I love Sonny I would never let anything bad happen to him. I need to make this right."
"I can't- I can't leave Sonny"
"If you don't leave, you are going to get Sonny hurt. Nick is crazy. Please head back to the boat but stay in the woods, don't let Benny see you" Ryan said releasing Will from his grip. "Go" Ryan said and threw himself to the ground. Will looked up at Sonny and decided he needed to try something, so he ran. Ryan waited a few seconds until Will was out of site and then yelled.
"SHIT! He got away! Nick he got away!" Ryan called to Nick
"What the fuck! Can't you fags do anything right!" Nick yelled stomping back towards Ryan dragging Sonny with him. "Well what way did he go?"
"That way." Ryan said pointing in the direction opposite of Will's escape route.
"Fine, stay here. Watch fancy pants over here, and don't let him get away too!" Nick yelled and headed off into the woods.
Sonny was about to follow in Nicks direction but Ryan grabbed onto his arm. "No, Sonny, don't"
"Get your hands off me! I am not going to let Nick go after Will"
"He isn't, Will is heading back towards the boat. Come on we have to go before Nick comes back"
"Why should I trust you?"
"Listen, I know I have done fucked up shit since I've been back, but Nick lied to me, he convinced me Will was a horrible person, when in reality Nick is, and now I guess I am too. I need to make this right, Sonny. Please believe me"
Sonny looked at Ryan and saw his best friend from high school, the boy who at one time he would trust with his life, and decided he needed to trust him again. Sonny just shook his head and him and Ryan started toward the dock.
A little time earlier...
Gabi woke up to an empty bed and started to panic. Where was Nick, he had been acting strange for a few days, and now he was missing in the middle of the night. Gabi got out of bed and made her way down to the Pub's kitchen to see if maybe he was there making a midnight snack, instead what she found was something beyond horrible. Two men were forcing Will and Sonny into the back of a car, and Nick was there too. Was Nick helping? It looked like it but Gabi knew it couldn't be true, they must be forcing Nick. She pulled out her phone and called 911, she didn't have much information to give them it was dark outside so she couldn't see the license plate, but she gave a description of the car, and the direction it took off in. The dispatcher informed they would call her brother, since he was on duty, and send him over to be with her, and to take a more formal statement.
Back to the present...
Hope, and Roman found a car matching the description Gabi had given them at the dock, they decided they needed to send some men over to Smith Island and check it out. Hope agreed to go with them, while Roman decided to stay back and continue to search around Salem.
Will was in the woods near the boat, watching Benny and keeping a lookout for Sonny. It felt like he waited forever and Sonny never came. Will started to think maybe listening to Ryan wasn't such a good idea. He needed to do something, he couldn't sit in the woods all night, while Nick and Ryan were with Sonny. He didn't even want to think about what could be happening to him. Will acted on impulse and charged toward the boat, he was going to get Benny's gun and go back into the woods after Nick. As Will raced toward the boat, Sonny and Ryan made their way towards the dock. Sonny caught a glimpse of Will and took off after him.
"Sonny don't!" Ryan yelled and immediately regretted it, Benny had heard him and turned to see both Will and Sonny making there way towards him, he pulled the gun out of the back of his pants waistband and pointed it in there direction. Ryan couldn't let this happen, he took off after them as well. The three of them running towards Benny, he pulled the trigger.
It felt like a bomb had exploded in his chest, he looked down to see the red liquid oozing out of him. He was shot.
