Over the next few weeks Ari stayed by herself more and more, worrying everyone around her. She was talking to imaginary people, or so they thought. When will asked her about it she said her and her stuffed animals were having a tea party, he knew his daughter was lying but he just didn't have the patience to deal with it.

Will could, he could of been better. He finally went back to work. His first artile slam dunked, and he felt accomplished. When he got home to the mansion he called Sonny's name in excitement, like the time they had to stay at Victors for they week while they were painting. It took him 10 minutes of searching the halls of the empty mansion before he realised Sonny wasn't here anymore. He sighed and went back to his foom, popped a anti-depressant pill in his mouth and fell asleep.

Ari found him still asleep when she got home from school, almost everyday. She would sigh and go help him get into a more comfortable position and tuck him into bed before she turned off the lights and tiptoed into her room. She looked left and right a couple of times before closing and locking her door.

No one except Ari knew what was going on in that room, and to say it was driving the twins insane. Well more like driving Lucas insane for not knowing and Justin insane for Lucas constantly complaining about it.

They had many theories about it. Justin said she was talking to a boy. Lucas said she was talking to a girl. Justin thought she was talking to someone imaginary. Lucas though she was praying to god. Justin thought she was acting. Lucas thought she was reenacting a show or something that typical 11 year old girls do.

But they both agreed that Ari was insane, insane as their dad was depressed.

One day though, Ari wasn't as careful as usual. She came home and didn't look to make sure someone was in the hallway. She forgot to lock the door. She forgot to even fix Will.

She actually came into the house running with tears in her eyes. Her blonde hair was caked in mud. Her jeans ripped. Her pink floral shirt in the same state as her jeans.

Lucas came out of his room when he heard running. He saw his sister go into her room hysterical crying. He went to his dad's room, he tried screaming his name, shaking him, jumping on him but he stayed in his drug induced sleep.

He sighed and went over to his dad's desk and grabbed Ari's old teddy bear she gave to Sonny when she changed her last name. Told him she already had a Sonny Bear. Sonny smiled and hugged her tight, he smiled at the memory.

Quietly he closed the door and ran to his sister's room. When he got to the door he could still hear Ari's sobs. He opened the door and was paled.

"WHAT THE HECK!" He saw Ari hugging his supposed to be dead papa. They both turned to him and Ari gasped. "Lucas Jonathan Horton-Kiriakis watch your mouth," Sonny snapped like it was another day.

Lucas's persona changed in an instant. Tears came to his eyes and his bottom lip began to wobble. He sobbed and dropped the bear, and Sonny disappeared from his sight.

He gasped and rubbed his eyes. And Sonny was still not there, he thought he dreamt it until Ari turned to the area where Sonny was an glared, "Papa don't talk to him like that!"

Relief and confusion filled him. He looked at his sister and cried, "I don't see him." Ari's anger faded and walked over to him and handed him the bear, he closed his eyes and hugged it tight. When he opened his eyes Sonny was hugging him, he felt cold but it was enough. He was in his Papa's arms.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT!" Everyone turned around and saw Will standing there angry, he sighed and grabbed the bear. He glared at Lucas, "Do your homework." Will left to go back to bed.

Lucas started to cry, until he felt Ari hug him. "I can't see him."

"Well he's hugging us right now Luce," she replied, "He's crying to."
