What the Future Holds
Chapter Nine
"We need to talk," Sonny sighed.
"I know," Will mumbled, shuffling his feet nervously.
Sonny swallowed and took his hands, kissing them, "We're going to get through this together, Will."
Will stared at him in shock, "You…want to stay with me?"
Sonny pulled him into a hug, rubbing his back, "Of course I do," he said, "I want to stay with you no matter what's happened to you."
Will pulled away and looked up at him, smiling, "I love you."
Sonny kissed him quickly, "I love you too."
Will smiled and hugged him again, "I-"
Someone knocked on the door.
Sonny sighed and went to get it and opened it. He glared when he saw it was Dylan and glanced at Will who went back to cooking.
"You need to keep it down," Dylan said, "I'll file a noise complaint."
Sonny sighed, "What exactly am I doing, Dylan?" he demanded, "I should have filed a noise complaint when I heard screaming from your apartment a month ago!"
"That's none of your business," Dylan growled.
Sonny rolled his eyes, "Whatever. I have things to do-"
"Did he move in with you?" Dylan demanded.
"Who?" Sonny played dumb.
"Will and Jared!" Dylan snapped.
Sonny glared, "No, they haven't. But you need to leave them the hell alone! They have a restraining order and I will have you arrested if you violate it!"
"So he is here?" Dylan laughed, "WILL!" he yelled, "Will, get out here!"
"Okay, get the hell out of my apartment!" Sonny yelled.
"Daddy," Jared ran out to the kitchen and hugged his legs.
"Oh, the kid is here too!" Dylan laughed.
"Will, call the police!" Sonny yelled.
Will swallowed and grabbed the phone.
"Will, don't call them or I swear to God-" Dylan started.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Sonny yelled, "Don't boss him around!"
Will quickly called the police and told them what was going on, Roman said they would be there in a second.
"Daddy, I'm scared," Jared whispered.
"Let's get you in your room, okay?" Will said, "I-I'll take care of it, okay?"
Jared swallowed and nodded, hugging him and kissed his cheek before running in the room.
Will walked up beside Sonny, "Leave, Dylan!" he snapped.
"Excuse me?" Dylan laughed, "Shut your damn mouth."
Sonny wrapped an arm around Will's shoulders quickly, wanting to protect him from everything.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore, Dylan!" Will yelled, "I want you to leave me and Jared alone!" he yelled and he heard someone coming up the stairs.
That's when it happened.
Dylan hit Will.
Again.
He punched him in the jaw and knocked him to the floor just as Roman and Rafe came up the stairs.
Sonny was frozen when he saw Will knocked to the ground and he went to lunge at him but Rafe stopped him as Roman pinned Dylan on the wall and cuffed him.
"Let me go, Rafe!" Sonny yelled, "I'm going to kill him!"
"Sonny, calm down!" Rafe said quickly, "Will needs you here, not in prison!"
"He needs to be put away!" Sonny screamed, "I'm going to sue your ass!" he screamed after Dylan as Roman dragged him away.
Sonny took a deep breath and looked at Will who was sitting on the floor still. He kneeled down beside him and helped him up quickly, putting his hand on his cheek where there was a forming bruise on his cheek.
Will swallowed, "I'm fine, Sonny."
"No, you aren't," Sonny sighed, "Here, let's get some ice," he helped him up, his hands shaking a little.
"Sonny, are you okay?" Will asked.
Sonny took a deep breath, "Yeah," he nodded quickly, "Just…" he shook his head.
Rafe walked back in, "Sonny," he said.
Sonny walked over after getting Will some ice, "Yeah?"
"This is in my personal opinion," Rafe said, "I really think you should press charges."
Sonny nodded quickly, "Yeah, that's a good idea," he said, "I'm actually going to go to my dad for this one though," he glanced at Will who was leaning on the counter in the kitchen with the ice on his cheek.
"Alright," Rafe said, "Will, are you okay? Do you need a hospital?"
"No," Will said quickly, "He just hit me," he mumbled and put the ice down, "I have to go check on Jared," he said and went into the other room.
"Take care of him," Rafe told him and walked out.
"Daddy?" Jared asked as Will tucked him into bed.
"Hm?" Will asked.
"Who hurt you?" Jared asked, sitting up as Will put his things out for school tomorrow, "Sonny didn't, right? I like Sonny…"
"No, it wasn't," Will said. He swore he was hiding that bruise from Jared, but his son seemed to always be able to see it.
"Was it Dylan?" Jared asked.
Will sighed.
"I wanna beat him up," Jared mumbled as Will fixed the covers again.
"Don't use violence, okay, buddy?" Will laughed, going to walk out.
"Daddy?" Jared asked.
"Yeah?" Will asked.
Jared got up from bed and walked over, hugging his legs tightly, "I love you."
Will smiled softly, "I love you too."
Jared ran over and hopped in bed, "Leave the hallway light on, Daddy!" he called.
Will laughed quietly and turned off the light and turned on the hallway light. He took a deep breath and walked into Sonny's room and layed down beside him.
Sonny glanced at him, "How are you feeling?" he asked, putting his phone down and turned to Will. He really just wanted to hold him, but he didn't know how he would react right now.
Will shrugged and moved closer to him and grabbed his arm, putting it around himself and put his head on Sonny's shoulder.
Sonny stared at him in shock for a second and moved his other arm around Will's waist and pulled him down so they were lying down.
Will closed his eyes and mumbled into Sonny's t-shirt, "I love you," he whispered before falling asleep.
Sonny kissed his head, "I love you too, Will."
