What lies beneath the surface

Chapter 1

Will couldn't believe what he was hearing, his heart was breaking, and he felt the tears press on to run free, he did his best to hold them back...

In front of him, was his grandma Kate, he could see her, but after the words she spoke :

" sonny kissed this guy... this Evan guy... "

-time stood still , he could she her lips moving, but didnt hear the words that came after.

" Will... Will... are you listing...You have to fight for him, you need to fight for Sonny...for your marriage..."

He blinked a few times and focused on the women seating in front of him.

He sank and asked :

" so you are saying, Sonny kissed another man ? "

" Well I guess technically he kissed Sonny, but the thing is Will, you cant give up on him..you have to fight for him. "

" Grandma stop ! "

Will stood and he felt the sway in his steps but he manged to stay on his feet.

" You all have to understand that I told him, not to come anymore...and that I...I have to let HIM go... he need to be happy, and I am not making him happy, I am the one who caused his heartbreak, tore his family apart, tore our love apart. "

( his voice cracked and he had to take a deep breath )

"This is my own fault and now I have to pay for it, and you should all just forget about

me ! "

he turned around, tried to remain on his feet, while he felt like falling and never to get up again. He felt his whole body shake.

" William Robert Horton, look at me! "

Kate said with stern in her voice, Will loked up and turned around, now the tears running free...

" sweetheart "

She stepped around the table and now she stood in front of him, laying one hand on his shoulder and the other one on his cheek, she pulled him into a hug, and softly spoke :

" you listen to me, I am not giving up on you , so stop trying to push us away, I will do anything to get you out of here and back to Sonny, where you belong.

a deep voice came from behind them, " please no touching "

" ooh hush ! "

Kate said, not stepping away.

" You two have been through so much and I will not let this tear you apart...and like I've told you before, there is something wrong about all this, and I promise you, I will do my all, to get to the bottom of all of this and find out why you ended up here! "

She pulled away and put her hands on his shoulder.

she took a look over her shoulder and saw the guard looking at them, arms crossed.

" see, no touching, happy now ? " she didn't wait for a respons, she concentrated on Will.

" You hear me, you don't belong here, you belong out there with your husband and your precious little girl, who loves you, we all love you ! " her eyes blank with tears, as she kissed his cheek

" you stay strong and dont give up..."

before she could end the sentence, Will stepped back.

" stop...just stop...I am here because if what I did... I killed her...I killed Adrienne, it's all my fault and no matter what you say, thats a fact and I have to live with it, and Sonny and Justin have to live without a mom, a wife...and thats because of me...because of me, they are hurting,and I know you dont get it, but I have to let him go..."

He took a deep breath as he continued : "

I have to set him free, so he doesn't have to look at me and be reminded of what I did, every time He sees me and know that I did that to him, he deserve to be happy and right now, he's not happy, and if this Evan guy makes him happy and can ease some of the pain, then I can't and won't stop it.

he took a big gulp of air, and felt his step halter, but he remained on his feet once again.

Kate stepped forward, but Will stepped back.

" please go grandma, I know you mean well, but you need to go now "

Kate nooded, and said :" Will I know you are hurting, you cant hide from me and I will get to the bottom of this I swear! "

Will stood with his hands to his side, he shook his head from side to side.

" I know you care and that you want to help but please stay out of this...please!"

She took yet another step forward and this time Will didn't move back, he let her bring him into a hug, and felt her warm embrace and felt the kiss to his temple. She stepped back, took her purse and as she tuned to leave she looked back and said...

" I am not giving up on you, not now, not ever ! She smiled and left.

Will saw the door close and knew what he had to do now, he still had time.

At the time square, Sonny and Evan stod, after breakfast and after Kate had blasted her opinions on their private conversation earlier.

Sonny reached for Evans arm..

" I like having a friend to talk to and I really like you" Sonny said.

Evan smiled " I like you too, but Sonny you have to understand that I like you beyond friendship and I know..."

they were interrupted by Sonny's phone going off.

" its the prison, it must be Will..." Sonny said as he looked at his phone.

" you want to take it? ". Evan asked as Sonny stepped aside..

" I have too! "

" hello, yes I accept the call."

" WIll, is that you ?

" Sonny..."

Will felt his voice break and he cursed himself for that .

" Sonny...I need to talk to you! "

Will was waiting for Sonny to show up, he knew it was only a matter of time now.

God how he missed him, he haden't seen him in months and he was twisting his hands and felt his heart beat fast.

He closed his eyes for a minute, told him self, this was the right thing to do...it had to be done...

Just as he ended his thought, the door open and Sonny walked in.

Will stood up behind the table and took Sonny in.

God, his he had missed him and how he just wanted to run into his arms, breath him in and never let him go.

But he knew he couldnt, he wasn't his anymore, he felt his heart sink.

Sonny stood there for a minute and took in Will, he just wanted to hug him, he looked so pale, so fragile, so lost, and his heart broke, yet again.

But he knew he couldn't, could he?

He's toughts was abrupted when Will spoke ( God that voice ! )

" sonny, thank you for coming, I wasn't sure you could make it today ? So I'm really glad you are here! "

" yeah, no worries, it sounded important, so had to come. " Sonny spoke in a monotone voice.

Wil's heart droped at the cold tone.

He bowed his head and twisted his hands again.

Sonny sat opposite Will at the table .

" Will, is everything okay ? "

Will looked up and looked into Sonny's eyes...( God how he missed looking into them)

" Kate stopped by here today". Will said.

Sonny massages his temple and closed his eyes for a second, before he looked at Will.

" ofcause she did...". He shook his head.

" yeah, and she told me about you and... "

Will took a deep breath...

" you and...Evan " Will looked down at his hands there was entangled in eachother at the top of the table.

" Will, listen, you should..."

Will stopped Sonny.

" Sonny, please just listen to what I have to say and then you can be on your way again..."

Sonny looke puzzled at Will...

" Sonny, I ... I ... "

will tried his best to keep the tears abay, but it was a loosing battle...

Sonny stood and went to Will... filled with concern he neeled infront of him

" Will look at me... you okay ? "

The guard again spoke : "please, try to remember no touching ! "

Sonny looked over his shoulder and looked back to Will.

Will hated himself for not holding it together he had practice the conversation in his head and knew what he had to say, but when it came to it, it was so hard. "

He stood and Sonny almost felt backwards.

" yes yes i am okay ". ( he had to this, he had to do this for Sonny, no matter his heartache, he had no right anymore, he had to let him go)

" Sonny I know you kissed Evan and I ..."

Sonny tried to interrupt " Will I did not..."

But Will stopped him...

" please just listen, I dont have much time, before I have to go back."

" I want you to know, that I want you to be happy I want you to have everything, I wish that it was me giving you all that, all to make you happy and feel loved and after everything we had been through to find each other again... But I can't, not anymore...I ruined everything and I have to pay for it, and with that, it also means that I have to let you go, not just by not coming here anymore, but to set you free, to be with who makes you happy, who makes you smile and give you everything that you deserve ! "

Will's eyes welled with tears, not yet to fall, he tried his hardest to hold it together, Sonny didnt need to see his breakdown.

Sonny just stared at him, feeling his heart break not just for him, but for Will too.

" Will, I don't understand, what are you saying? "

Will sighed heavy and took a deep breath...

" sonny what I am saying is that ..."

" I want a divorce ..."

silence.

Sonny frose, his heart stopped for a second.

" a divorce ? "

" yes..."

" But Will... you don't mean this? "

" yes...I do..."

Will felt his knees giving in, he had to go before he collapsed to the floor, making a scene, he turned around to leave. Before he left, he turned to look at a stunned Sonny.

( God how he loved him, he'd love him forever!)

" Be happy Sonny, thats all i ever wanted for you...be happy and give my baby girl a kiss from me ! "

He turned around and the door closed behind him.

Sonny didnt know for how long he'd been standing there...

" Will!? " he softly spoke, he heard his own voice breaking...

" oh my God Will..."

He now felt the tears running unstoppable down his cheeks and he let them...Will had just set him free, but was that what he wanted...?
