"WILLLLLLL!"

Will swings the door to Sonny's room open and flies to the bed. There are tears streaming down his face and he is gasping for breath.

"Baby, I'm right here," Will says, soothingly as he strokes Sonny's face. "I'm right here."

"WILLLLLL! SOMEONE SAVE HIM!"

"Baby. Sonny. Wake up." Will says as he begins to lightly shake his shoulders. "I am right here. It's just a dream."

Sonny's eyes fly open and tears cascade down his cheek. He is still gasping for breath and lets out an anguished sob. Will climbs in bed with his boyfriend and pulls his body into his own. Will begins to lightly stroke Sonny's back as he continues to let out anguished sobs.

"You're here?" Sonny whispers through sobs.

"Of course, baby. Where else would I be?"

"But. Y-you were…" Sonny trails off, whispering through his tears.

"I was what, Baby?" Will asks, confused.

Sonny just shakes his head and continues to sob. "It was so real."

"What was? What happened, Sonny?"

"I can't lose you, Will. I won't."

"Baby, I am not going anywhere. I promise you."

"I'm sorry," Sonny whispers, refusing to look Will in the eyes.

"Hey. Look at me. What are you sorry for?" Will asks, as he lifts Sonny's chin so their eyes meet.

"For having to put up with me. For dealing with all of this."

"Jackson Kiriakis. Don't even start talking like that. I love you so much. I would do anything for you. I would lay my life down for you," Will responds, sternly.

"Don't, Will."

"Babe, please talk to me. What is going on? How can I help you when you won't let me?" Will asks, anguished.

"I can't talk to you about it, Will. Don't you get that. I can't stand the thought…."

"Sonny? What? Please tell me."

"I'm starting to remember more of what happened," Sonny whispers, eyes glassy with unshed tears. "And it's not me they want. It's you."

"How do you feel about going home today?"

"Really? I can go home today?"

"Yes. But we need you to talk with a social worker first before we can release you."

"Why?"

"We just need a plan for where you are going and treatment for once you leave."

"Oh, ok. That's fine. But I can tell you now where I will be going."

"Where is that?"

"He's coming home with me," Will pipes in.

"Yeah. What he said," Sonny replies.

"I still need you to talk with them after your appointment with Dr. Evans. Now it will be up to you if you want to continue on with these appointments. But that is something you will have to discuss with her. I would greatly recommend it."

"Ok. We will discuss it."

"Dr. Evans will be by shortly to take you to your appointment, ok?"

"Yeah. That's fine. Thanks for everything, Dr. Davis."

"It's no problem, Sonny."

Cameron turns around and walks out of the room. Sonny turns around to look at Will, who has been standing behind him.

"How are you feeling right now, babe?" Will asks.

Sonny sighs and says, "I don't know. A part of me can't wait to get home and climb into our bed together. But I am also scared to leave. What if I no longer feel safe at home?"

"Babe, I think that's to be expected. But know that I won't let anything happen to you."

"But you can't promise that. Nor can you promise that nothing will happen to you."

"I don't know what you want me to say right now, Sonny."

Sonny looks down and nods his head. "There is nothing you can say. I just need to know you will be safe."

"Sonny, stop worrying about me. I am not the one that has been in the hospital for weeks. You are. You are the one that needs to stay safe. Not me."

"Will, nothing can happen to you. Promise me that nothing will happen when we leave."

Will sighs and says, "As much as I want to make that heartfelt promise, I can't. But I am working on being able to make that promise to you."

"Will," Sonny whispers. "What do you mean? Please tell me you aren't doing anything stupid."

"Sonny, you don't need to worry about it. I am doing everything I can to make sure I don't lose you. Babe, I can't go through this again. You mean too much to me."

"Will, I feel the same way. But please…"

There's a knock on the door and Dr. Evans walks in. "Are you ready Sonny?"

Sonny is looking at Will with fear in his eyes and whispers, "Please don't do anything stupid. I don't want anything to happen to you. Please, baby."

Will smiles at Sonny and kisses him on the forehead. "Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine."

Will walks out of the room after kissing his grandmother goodbye, as Sonny watches. "Yeah. I guess I am."

Sonny stands up and follows Marlena to her office, as tears silently roll down his cheek.
