I am so sorry this took me so long to update. I have been studying to take boards, which I took yesterday. So, I had to set this aside for the last couple of weeks. I am so sorry to leave you guys hanging! I will be leaving for vacation in the morning, so it will be a little while before I will post another update. I wanted to post a new update before I left. I will try to make up for my absence when I get back! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this story and leave your feedback. I love hearing it and thank you all so much for being so amazing! :)


Will is clutching the card from Sonny in his hand as he knocks on the door. Arianna is squirming around in his arms, too excited to stay still. Will waits a couple of seconds and doesn't hear anything, so he tries knocking again.

"Where he at?" Arianna asks inquisitively.

"I don't know, baby girl."

Will knocks on the door a couple more times, but no one answers. Dread begins to slowly consume Will and he begins questioning himself. What am I doing here? Does he even want to see me? He probably hates me right now, Will thinks sadly.

"No Sonny?" Arianna pouts.

"Sorry, sweetie. Looks like he's not going to answer the door."

"SOOOOOOOONNNY!" Arianna shouts at the door.

"Arianna," Will says, sternly. "Do not yell like that. You are going to disturb his neighbors."

"But daaaaddy," Arianna begins to cry. "Wanna see Sonny."

"We can't right now. Maybe later."

"See Brian?" She asks distastefully.

"I am going to see Brian. But you are going to spend some time with Grandma Sami, okay?"

"Okay," Arianna replies sadly.

Will and Arianna head back to the car. Doubt is completely consuming Will now. He had text Sonny before they left that they were coming by and now he was sure that Sonny was avoiding him. Will was convinced after kicking Sonny out of his apartment earlier today that he had caused this change in Sonny. He knew Sonny must hate him and now he didn't want to see either of them. And Will was filled with regret.


Sonny thought he heard someone shouting his name, but his mind was still kind of hazy from sleep. He walked to the door of his apartment to check if someone was outside. He saw a piece of paper sitting on top of his welcome mat. He picks it up and sees that it is from Will, on the envelope of the card he left for him earlier today.

Sonny,

Sorry we missed you. Thank you for the card and the cake. I would love to take you up on your offer, if it still stands. I understand if you no longer want to after today. But I know Arianna would love to see you again.

Will

Sonny is torn between his father's advice to give Will space and his need to see Will again. His head and his heart have been in a constant struggle ever since he met Will and so many times he has let his heart lead him. But where has that gotten him so far? An ex boyfriend. Falling in love with the most adorable little girl ever. Getting kicked out of Will's apartment. And left completely shattered. Every fiber of his being is screaming to call Will, but Sonny is trying to fight these feelings yet again.

When it comes to Will, Sonny has begun to question so many things. What if he is only doing these things because of Arianna and he really doesn't want to see me? Sonny is so unsure of where Will stands with how he feels. He has finally resigned himself to wanting Will and Arianna in his life completely, but he fears that Will may not want the same. Deep down Sonny believes that Will feels the same way, but self-doubt continues to plague him. He is beginning to convince himself that their friendship is solely based on Arianna. And Sonny is afraid that if he truly gives into his feelings for Will that he will only be left heartbroken.

Sonny knows he couldn't take being rejected by Will for a second time today. He decides to figure things out in the morning when his mind isn't so hazy and the emotions of the day aren't so raw.


Will nervously taps on the door, dread filling him completely. He knows this is what he needs to do, but he really doesn't want to do it. Will knows that no matter what happens between him and Sonny in the future and whether or not they have a future, this needs to be done. It is the right thing. It is the fair thing.

The door swings open and Brian is staring at him with a shocked look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" He stammers out.

"We need to talk," Will says quietly.

"What more could we possibly have to talk about?" Brian questions with contempt.

"What do you mean, Brian?"

"You made your choice abundantly clear today."

"What are you talking about?"

"Have you already forgotten everything that happened today? You kicking me out of your apartment for him."

"Sonny?" Will asks.

"Yes," Brian seethes.

"I told you we would talk later. That it wasn't a good time. You saw how upset Ari was. "

"It's always about Ari, isn't it? That's been your excuse all along to justify your behavior. Ari likes Sonny, so that's why you guys were always together. But that's not really true. You and I both know that."

"Brian, are you kidding me? You know my daughter always comes first. And the fact that she didn't like you should have been my warning sign a long time ago."

"So you are letting your toddler makes decisions for your life now?" Brian asks with accusation.

"If she doesn't like or trust you, I can't have you around her. And I kept thinking all she needed was to get to know you. But apparently I was wrong. And stupid to think anything would change."

"Nice, Will. Blame your daughter for ending our relationship."

"That's not what I am doing!" Will exclaims.

Will really didn't want this conversation to go this way. He didn't want to fight with Brian. All they have done for months is fight and he couldn't deal with it anymore. Will was also so tired of the anger Brian had towards his daughter and Sonny. He knew that there was nothing he could say that would change Brian's mind, so he felt like he has been fighting a losing battle for so long.

Will sighs and continues sadly, "I never meant to hurt you, Brian. I need you to know that."

"It doesn't matter," Brian states, coldly.

"It does matter. You mean a lot to me. You have to know that."

"Will, why don't you just leave? I really tired of hearing all about your guilty conscience."

"Seriously, Brian? That's what you think this is all about?"

"Yeah, I do. You chose Sonny a long time ago. You chose him over me. And now you feel sorry. This is how you plan on repenting? Because I don't want to hear it. I am so tired of your excuses."

"You think this is me repenting? Making excuses? I did care about you, Brian. And I do love you. But clearly I made the right decision by choosing Sonny over you."

"And the truth comes out!" Brian exclaims with venom.

Will shakes his head and sighs,"I guess I will bring by your stuff later."

"Don't bother, Will. I don't want any of it back. You can keep it."

Will walks towards the door filled with anger and sadness. He opens the door and turns to look at Brian, who has turned his back towards Will.

"I guess this is goodbye," Will whispers.

Brian nods his head and says, "Yeah. It is."
