I am so sorry this took so long for me to post another chapter. Life and such kind of had me preoccupied. Sorry! This also happens to be one of my longer chapters, so I hope that makes up for my tardiness!

I have to apologize also for the unfortunate timing of this chapter! Hopefully it was worth the wait!

Thanks for sticking with me and this story! Also for the wonderful words you all have said to me about this story! I hope you continue to like it. And I love hearing all of your thoughts! :)

Sonny is pacing around his room. He knows something is wrong. He can feel it in his gut. He won't be able to calm down until he hears his boyfriend's voice and holds him in his arms. This can't be happening right now. I knew this would happen. Why couldn't Will just listen to me? Why did he have to try to fix things? I warned him something like this would happen, Sonny thought. Sonny places his head in his hands and begins sobbing.

Will was on the phone trying to calm down his boyfriend. He felt like Sonny was being slightly paranoid lately. But he couldn't really blame him. It's not like it was Will who had gotten attacked. And he was trying to be supportive of Sonny, but he was also getting exasperated with constantly reaffirming that everything was ok. Will just had no clue how to be what Sonny needed and he was getting frustrated more with himself than his boyfriend. Will wanted to be able to make everything better for Sonny, but he didn't know how.

Will can hear the pain in his boyfriend's voice and all he wants is to be able to take that pain away. He feels so helpless. Will believes he should be able to do something. He has been trying to figure out something that will make Sonny feel safer, in some capacity. He just has no clue how to make that happen. He hates that he has to go to the DiMera's for help. Will knows Sonny doesn't want him involved with them at all. But it's not like he can really go to Victor. Sonny wouldn't want that. And the last thing Will wants to do is worry Sonny's family any more than they already are. Will just feels so lost and helpless, but he is doing his best to not let Sonny see his failings as a boyfriend.

Will can hear Sonny's voice in his head. Will, please don't do this. I almost lost you last time you went to EJ for help. I don't want to go through that again.

"I will be back at the hospital in a couple of minutes. Will you be ok until then?" Will asks.

"Yeah," Sonny whispers.

Will can hear the pain in his boyfriend's voice. It is killing him that he can't just make everything go away. Then Will feels someone tap him on the shoulder.

"Can I help you?" Will asks, annoyed as he turns around.

The guy has on a mask and grabs Will by the shirt, pushing him up against the wall.

"What are you doing? What the hell?"

The guy punches Will in the face as his phone falls to the ground. Sonny's voice is reverberating from the phone until the guy steps on it, smashing the phone in pieces.

"I warned your boyfriend to keep his mouth shut," the guy seethes. "Now it's payback time."

"Oh, my god," Will whispers, in shock. "It's you?"

Abby was on her way to the hospital to tell Will everything was set. She had tried to call his phone numerous times, to no avail. Abby assumed that his phone had died, so she figured it would just be best to go to the hospital to talk to Will and see Sonny.

"Oh my god!" Abby shrieks.

She sees Will laying in the alley. There is blood around him. She quickly pulls out her phone and calls 911, explaining what she walked up on. She hangs up the phone and kneels next to her cousin.

"Will?" Abby cries. "Who did this to you? What happened?"

Abby squeezes Will hand and she hears him groan. Abby is sobbing next to her cousin. She is holding his hand, but doesn't know what else to do. She's scared and just in complete shock. Abby can feel herself shaking from fear.

"Will? Please wake up! Sonny needs you. I need you. Who would do this to you? Who would want to hurt my precious cousins? Oh, God! Will, please be okay."

Abby can hear the sirens in the distance and she is relieved that help is almost here. A man and woman step out of the ambulance and rush over to where she and Will are.

"Can you tell me what happened?" The woman asks, as the man begins assessing Will.

"I-I uh…I don't know. I c-couldn't get a-ahold of him," Abby stutters, crying. "Th-then I fo-found him on m-my way to the hos-hospital to visit him and m-my cousin."

"Ok. Calm down," the woman says, soothingly. "Do you know how long he has been like this?"

"N-no. I-I tri….ed calling him 15 min-minutes ago. Bu-but I co-couldn't get ahold of h-him."

"It's ok. We are going to get him to the hospital. Do you want to ride along?"

Abby nods her head as tears continue to slide down her cheek. "He's go-gonna be okay, ri-right?"

The woman gives her a sad smile and whispers, "I hope so."

"Where is he? Why hasn't anyone heard from him yet?" Sonny asks.

"Sweetie, I am sure everything is okay. Try not to worry."

"Mom, you have to be kidding me? I last talked to him an hour ago. Something is wrong. I know it! Why doesn't anyone believe me?"

"Of course, we believe this is how you feel," Adrienne says, placing her hand on his shoulder.

Sonny shakes his mom's hand off of him and begins crying, "Why can't I go find him? Why won't they let me look for him? I have to find him. I can't lose him, Mom. I just can't."

Sonny crumbles to the ground, his body visibly shaking as he is overcome with sobs. Sonny's mind was full of worse case scenarios of what might have happened to his boyfriend. His biggest fear was that his last conversation with Will was going to be the last time he ever heard his boyfriend's voice again. Sonny knew he couldn't just sit around and wait. This was accomplishing absolutely nothing. He had to find his boyfriend before his worst possible fear came true. He was not going to lose his boyfriend. Sonny didn't even want to have to think about what life without Will could be like. Sonny refused to let his mind go there.

There was a knock on the door. Adrienne walked over and answered it. Marlena stepped into Sonny's hospital room. She had a grim look on her face and Sonny could tell she had been crying.

"Will?" Sonny whispered through sobs.

Marlena nods her head and says, "They found him."

"Fa-found him? H-he's okay, ri-right?" Sonny choked out.

"From what I was told, Abigail found him in the alley a couple of blocks away."

"Abby found him? Bu-but he's okay. Pl-please te-tell me he is fine."

"I'm not sure. They just brought him in."

"I have to see him," Sonny sobs.

"Do you really think that's a good idea, sweetie?" Adrienne asks.

"Of course it's a good idea. Will needs me and I need him. You have to let me see him!"

"Let me go check with your doctor and see if they are okay with it," Marlena whispers.

Sonny nods his head and tears spill down his cheek. Marlena leaves and heads to the nurse's station.

"I told you Mom," Sonny whispers through his tears. "I told you something had happened to him. What if I lose him?"

Adrienne pulls her son up from the floor and into her arms, saying soothingly, "You won't lose him. He is going to be okay. You have to believe that, baby."

"But what if he's not?" Sonny sobs. "I-I can't be without him. I love him. Will's my everything. He's my life."

"I know, baby. I know." Adrienne whispers, as tears slide down her cheek.

Marlena comes back into the room with a wheelchair. "This was the one contingency of letting you see Will. You have to go in a wheelchair."

Sonny smiles and sighs with relief. "That's ok. I just need to be with him."

Sonny sits down in the wheelchair and Adrienne pushes him out of his hospital room, following Marlena. Sonny's mind is racing, trying to mentally prepare himself for what his boyfriend may look like. He is praying everything is ok. All Sonny knows is that his boyfriend has to be alright. He would never forgive himself if anything happened to Will. Sonny knew he could not live with himself if Will wasn't okay.

"Hello, we are here to see Will Horton," Marlena speaks up.

"The doctor is in with him now. He is not allowed any visitors," the nurse replies.

"I am his grandmother and I am a doctor here. I would like to see my grandson," Marlena says, firmly.

The door swings open and Kayla steps out of the room. "Kayla, is Will in there?"

"Yeah. But we don't want him to have anymore visitors."

"Please, you have to let me see him," Sonny begs.

Kayla shakes her head and says, "I don't know if that's such a good idea right now, Sonny."

"Please! He needs me! You have to let me see my boyfriend, Dr. Brady."

The door swings open again and Abby comes running out. "Sonny! There you are!"

"Abby? What are you doing in there?" Sonny asks, confused.

"I've been with him. I found him," Abby says quietly. "He's been calling out for you."

"He's been calling for me?" Sonny asks, quietly.

He looks at Kayla and says, "Please! You have to let me see him. He needs me. Don't you see that? Will has been calling out for me! He needs me!"

Sonny's body has overcome with emotions, again. His body is shaking and tears are falling freely.

Kayla sighs, "Fine. But try not to upset him and please don't stay long."

Abby takes Sonny's shaky hand and they walk to Will's room. Abby opens the door for Sonny and points to Will. Sonny grabs onto the chair by the door to stop himself from falling. Sonny's breathing hitches and a steady flow of tears fall down his cheek. "Will? Baby? No!"
