"Will?" Sonny came running towards him, in his face Will saw pure fear.

"My god, Will. What happened to you?"

Will drowned in Sonny's looks even though he didn't want his pity. He was just lucky to see him. Will shook his head, almost immediately holding it still cause the world around him started to spin again.

"Jail happened to me."

Sonny looked so concerned that Will grabbed Sonny's hand and pressed in gently. He knew that Sonny wouldn't understand but right now Will couldn't been happier.

Justin who came around the corner looked at Will and sighed. He knew that this was jail. That being gay in jail ended like this. He looked at his son seeing true worries in his eyes.

"Sonny. You need to take the visitor entry. I'm sorry."

Sonny nodded. He had known that. But he didn't want to. He wanted to sit with Will for the rest of the day, holding his hand, assuring him everything would work out.

"I love you, do you hear. Believe in yourself, Will."

Sonny kissed Will, making him forget all the bruises, the scars. The pain, the hurt. In this moment nothing made Will scared of what was to come.

"I love you, too." Will said when the moved away from each other.

"I am tasting blood. Why do I taste blood?"

"How am I supposed to know that. Don't kiss me then."

Sonny smiled.

"Never ever. Come here."

The next kiss was less long but Will but all his love in this kiss. All the thank you's he wanted to tell Sonny for so long but never got around to.

"Boys. Break it up. We need to get in."

Justin interrupted the both.

"I love it how your dad still behaves as if we were around 20."

Sonny laughed.

"I hope he never stops."

Will looked at Sonny all the way to the door. Only when Justin pushed the door open Will stopped looking for the black hair. He looked into the hall. It looked like one of those courts you see on TV. He saw the Jury looking at him together with Gaby and Nick sitting on the side of the prosecutor.

And he saw EJ looking at him. His look wasn't full of pity. He was the only one looking like always. As Will tried to get to his chair next to EJ he simply said: "Morning William. Glad to see you." Will huged him from behind.

"Thanks. Good morning to you, too."

As soon as he sat down he turned around and saw Sonny. Somehow he had managed to find a seat near him so that Will could see him out of the corner of his eye. That made him calmer and he felt how he became less and less nervous.

"All rise."

Will saw how all the people in the court stood up including Sonny, Justin and EJ next to him. He felt himself standing up to.

This wasn't it. The court. The day everything would be decided. It was like in a dream. He stood up but didn't feel like it at all.

He saw the judge coming to the hall, going up those steps to her chair and sitting down. When she sat everyone else sat down, too. Looking down to her files she read out loud.

"Today is Monday, the 21st September 2030. This is the hearing for William Robert Horton, file reference 4K76U. It's the state and Nicholas and Gabriella Josephina Fallon against William Robert Horton. William Robert Horton is arrested for child abduction and molesting. The hearing is hereby opened."

She judge looked down to the prosecutor. The man, Will didn't recognize stood up.

"The prosecution pleads for five years in a state prison."

The judge nodded and the prosecutor sat down again. Next Justin stood up and declared with a loud, sincere voice: "We pleads for not guilty in every point, your honour."

The judge looked down at Will and as much as wanted to make himself small and invisible he sat up straight and looked to the wall. He wasn't brave enough to look at the judge.

Will dived away for a moment thinking about his life. He thought about the choices he made in life, the people he met, the people he loved. As he picked up the attention in the court he noticed how Nick sat at the witness stand.

The prosecutor was asking him question. Will fixated Nick but Nick only looked at the person asking him the questions.

"So you are the father of Ariana Grace Fallon, the husband of Gabriella Josephina Fallon and a cousin of the defendant?"

"Yes. Sir." Nick's voice was steady and didn't tremble. He was sincere about that answer.

"Can you tell me what happened on the 16th September?"

"Yes. Me and my wife went to the hospital around eleven o'clock. Trying to visit our daughter. When we went into her room we couldn't find her anywhere. After asking the doctors whether the had a clue where she could be we called the police."

The prosecutor was content. He sat down leaving Nick as a witness to Justin.

"Why was Miss Fallon in the hospital?"

Nick didn't want to answer that. Will saw the reluctance in his eyes and heard it in his voice.

"She cut herself."

"Really? She just cut herself? I have a document from the doctor and a psychologist, both saying that it was an attempted suicide."

EJ stood up, giving a piece of paper to the prosecution and to the judge before sitting down again.

"Mr Fallon, could you please tell me what triggered that attempt?"

"Objection!" The prosecutor stood up. "My client cannot know why his daughter attempted suicide.

The judge nodded. And Justin asked the question differently.

"What happened immediately before your daughter went upstairs?"

"We had an argument."

"An argument about something my wife said to my daughter."

"What did Mrs Fallon tell your daughter?"

Nick breathed in before looking at Will. He was speaking slowly and stressed his words.

"She said to her that homosexuality wasn't a disease."

"No further questions." Justin sat back down and Nick went back to his place, too.
