Ch. 4
"Are you serious right now?" Paul turned around to the sound of the voice.
"I don't have time for this. I have to go."
"Go where? I just got here. I think you owe me some kind of explanation."
"Like what Derek?"
"I don't know. Like why are you all of a sudden hanging out with Sonny a lot more, instead of with me?"
"We are just friends. Come on. There's no harm in that."
"Yeah, uh. I'm sorry. I guess I was just overreacting just a little. I'm sorry."
"Just a little?" Paul laughed, and Derek smiled at him.
"Are we still on for later though?"
"Of course."
"Cool. I will see you later."
"See you later man." Paul walked off and Derek stood there watching him leave.
"What's up with you and grandma by the way?" Will asked after the long lecture from his dad.
"That is a long story."
"Does it have anything to do with Paul?"
"It doesn't have anything to do with him. It's a long story that I don't want to get into."
"Sorry I asked."
"No. That's fine."
"Thank you for the long lecture by the way."
"You're welcome. And it wasn't a lecture as much it was advice. All you need to know is how much Sonny loves you, and that he would do anything for you."
"I know."
"Just don't do anything stupid like last time." Lucas was already at the door and ready to leave.
"I won't." Will stood next to his dad and walked him out. Just as Lucas opened the door to leave, Sonny stood in front of the door.
"Hey Sonny."
"Hi." Sonny managed a smile; pretending that everything was okay. Lucas left and Will closed the door when Sonny came all the way into the apartment with Ari.
"Where did you go?"
"I took Ari to the park for a bit. Then I took her to see her Gabi."
"Oh. I thought we were going to do that together?"
"I figured that you were busy. Like you always are." Sonny took Ari to her room and put her down for a nap. He came out of the bedroom a few minutes later and Will stood in front of him.
"Sonny, you have no idea how sorry I am. I could apologize to you in so many different and I know you probably won't forgive me. But, I love you more than anything. I just don't want to lose you. I don't want Arianna to lose you too. You know how much she loves and adores you."
"Don't do this Will. Don't bring Arianna in this. I love her more than anything. She deserves a life better than seeing us fighting all the time."
"And I agree with you too. I just want us to be like how we used to." Will wrapped his arms around Sonny's neck.
"It's going to take a lot of time for us to get to that point. We both need time to think about things before we can make any decisions right now."
"Okay. I will do whatever it takes. Just as long as it's always going to be you and me."
"It's always going to be you and me." Sonny smiled.
