Adrienne and Justin walk into Sonny's room to find Will asleep. His head was resting on Sonny's arm. Their fingers were intertwined. Will's other arm was wrapped around Sonny's arm, cuddling it.

"Will," Justin whispered while shaking the boy's shoulders. "Will. Wake up."

Will opened his heavy eyelids and saw Sonny's parents in front of him.

"Hey," he said, sleepily.

"Will, you really need to go home and get some sleep," Adrienne said. "And eat something. You haven't left Sonny's side in over a week."

"I promised I wouldn't leave him," Will whimpers. "I have to be here when he wakes up."

"Will," began Justin. "You need to get some sleep. Take a shower. Eat. Sonny would want that."

Will thinks back on all the times Sonny would yell at him for not taking care of himself. For staying up all night to play video games. For skipping breakfast. For snacking on junk food instead of eating a meal. A smile creeps across Will's face. I need you to yell at me Sonny for not taking care of myself. For not eating or sleeping.

"I know you're right," Will says. "But I can't leave him. I can't sleep without him next to me. I can't eat knowing he's still like this."

"Will," Adrienne exclaims. "Sonny is improving. His body just needs time to heal. And I know he would want you to take care of yourself. Please just go to the Pub and grab something to eat. Then go to your apartment and at least take a nap. It's what Sonny would want."

Will gives in. He slowly gets up from his chair. "I'm only doing this for Sonny. And you have to promise to call if anything changes. Please, promise me."

"Of course, Will," Adrienne says. "We will stay with our son until you get back."

Will gives them a weak smile. He kisses Sonny's cheek. "I'll be back soon, Babe. Don't open those beautiful eyes before I get back. I love you so much."

Will feels Sonny squeeze his hand and his eyes fill with tears. Will believes this was Sonny's way of agreeing with his parents and letting him know he loves him. Will feels a little bit better about leaving, but still has a heavy heart.

Will went into the Pub and saw his great-grandmother Caroline behind the counter.

"Will!" She exclaims. "How are you doing? How is Sonny?"

"There hasn't been much change with Sonny. He still is on the ventilator, but they have been weaning him off. If he doesn't get off soon, they have to cut his throat and put a more permanent tube in."

Will starts crying. Caroline comes around the counter and hugs Will. She ushers them into a booth.

"Will," Caroline begins. "Sweetie. I'm so sorry. Did they say if he was improving?"

Will looks down at the ground and whispers, "Yeah. I'm just so scared Grandma. What if he doesn't wake up?"

Caroline grabs Will's chin and lifts his face so that he is looking his great-grandmother in the eye. She grabs his hand and says,"Sweetie. You can't think like that.'

"I know it's just..." Tears slide down his cheek and he lets out a whimper. "I love him so much. And I need him. More than I have needed anything in my life. I can't help wondering what if he never wakes up. What if he doesn't remember me. What if he is no longer the guy I fell in love with."

"William," Caroline sighs. "You can't think like that. Be strong for him. Your love will bring him back."

Will smiles weakly at Caroline and whispers, "thanks."

"Now when is the last time you ate? You look like skin and bones!"

"Oh, I don't know. I had a candy bar last night, I think."

"Let me get you something to eat. What would you like?"

"I'm really not hungry. I just agreed to come here because Justin and Adrienne said that Sonny would want me to get something to eat and to get some sleep. But I just really want to be with him right now."

"I know you do, Sweetie. But you must take care of yourself! For Sonny. I am going to make you something. I'll be right back."

Caroline got up and hurried into the kitchen. Abby and Chad walk into the Pub.

"Will?" Abby asks. "What are you doing here? Why aren't you at the hospital? Is everything ok with Sonny?"

Will looks up at his friend and cousin and gives them a weak smile "Hey," Will whispers. "Justin and Adrienne told me I needed to get some sleep and come here to eat. That Sonny would want me to take care of myself."

"Well, that's true," Chad said. "How is he doing? They still won't let me see him, will they?"

"Well, they say he is improving," Will says. "But I don't see any change. And no, they still don't want him having many visitors. But I will ask when I get back."

"Thanks, man. How are you holding up?"

"I'm trying," Will quivered. "But it's hard. I hate seeing him like this. I hate that there is nothing I can do. It's killing me not being with him right now. Chad, I just love Sonny so much. I-I d-don't k-k-know…"

Chad puts his hands on Will's shoulders. "I know, man. I know. But you can't think like that. Sonny will come back to us."

Will smiled at Chad weakly. He knows his friend is trying to help, but nothing is going to help until Sonny wakes up.

"I'm going to get us some drinks," Abby said. "what do you guys want?"

"I'm fine," Will says. "Grandma is grabbing me something."

"I'll just take a coffee," Chad replies. "Thanks."

Abby gets up and goes to the counter. Chad looks at a Will and asks, "Did you go to EJ about taking this guy down?"

Will looks up, shocked. "Ho-how di-did you know I ta-talked to EJ?"

"Dude, he's my brother. And I may have went to him after I talked with your grandpa."

Will sighed. "It was stupid. I just…I just wanted to feel like I was doing something to help Sonny. I just felt so helpless. I still do. And I want whoever did this to pay."

"Me, too," Chad replied. "Me, too."

Abby comes back with the drinks and Caroline is behind her with a cheeseburger and fries for Will.

"Eat up, Sweetie," Caroline says, pats Will on the cheek and walks away.

"Do you guys know how the case is going?" Will asks. "I haven't talked to grandpa Roman in awhile. I haven't wanted to focus on anything but Sonny."

Abby and Chad look at each other. Abby says, "They may have a lead. I saw him arguing with some guy that night. Roman talked with Lauren and she said the same thing. We gave our description of the guy. And they are trying to figure it out. The security video hasn't really provided any leads. They can't get a clear view of the guy."

"Oh," Will whispers. "I was just hoping…"

"We know, Will," Abby replies. "We want the same thing. Me and Lauren have seen the guy around, but we don't know who he is. I just wish there was more I could do." Abby looks down, sadly.

"It's ok," Will says and grabs Abby's hand. "At least, they have something. Chad, what's going on with the coffeehouse?"

"We're still closed. We have to repaint the shop. Most of the furniture needs to be replaced, too. I am also thinking about putting in a new security system."

"That's a great idea," Will says. "I will have to tell Sonny when I get back to the hospital."

Will finishes his plate, as Abby and Chad look on. "I'm going to go back home and lay down for a while. Then head back up to the hospital. Thanks guys for filling me in. I will try to keep you updated on Sonny. I will also ask when you guys can come visit."

Will walks up to the counter and hugs his grandma."Give Sonny our love. Tell him we are all praying for him."

"I will."

Will hugs Chad and Abby. Then heads back to the apartment he shares with Sonny.
