Sonny thought about it long and hard. He wasn't sure if he could forgive him, not after what he did. He looked Brent in the eyes and saw the hurt. But Sonny is hurting more than him.
"Yes I will forgive you."
"It will never happen again. I swear." Brent leaned in for a hug. Sonny wasn't sure how ling this was going to last. He was hoping for a while. Sonny returned the hug but without much force.
Finally they let go and they took it all in for a moment. Sonny felt his nerves starting to fall and he was feeling a little better, but not that great.
"I need to have some time alone tonight Brent." Brent looked defeated but tried no to show it.
"Okay. I'll call you tomorrow." He left with no expression on his face. Sonny felt bad for him at that moment, he wasn't sure how to go on with this anymore.
The next few days were lonely for Sonny. Not only did Brent not call him, but he hasn't seen him. He decided to make a move and look for Brent himself.
He checked their favourite places, and the secluded areas they often went too. When he didn't see him, he went to his apartment. He went to go see him to apologize to him from before.
What Sonny saw at that moment, broke his heart. Seeing Brent with someone else, turned everything in his head. He held his grip tightly on the door almost losing circulation in his fingers.
His heart constrained. He left the room and let the tears fall free. Sonny was glad that he got some space, but at the same time, he felt like he pushed too far.
Not it couldn't be his fault. Sonny knew that it was never his fault in the first place. It was so easy for him to fall for someone with good looks and charms that was easy enough to almost hypnotize you. He quickly left and went back to his hotel room.
Instead of leaving the next day when he was supposed to, Sonny left on an early flight back home to Salem. When he got to his room. He closed the door and sighed heavily. When did life get so complicated? He thought.
The only real memories that he had on his adventures, was the mountain climbing and experiencing new things with different people. Sonny started packing without making any delays and without bothering to stop and cry. No, there was no time for that. He cut the rest of his day short to finish packing.
"So you're leaving?"
"Yeah. I have to. My mom is worried." Sonny came up with an excuse. He didn't want to call Brent to tell him that he was leaving, but he knew he had to. A part of him was telling him to.
"Maybe I will see you again."
"Maybe. I gotta get going." Sonny replied when he heard his flight being announced. They stood there in awkward silence for a few seconds before Brent made the first move. He gave him a brotherly hug.
"Can we at least still be friends?"
"Yes we can. Bye."
"See ya." They both waved.
Sonny finally got on the plane after ten minutes. He sighed and rested his head back against the seat. It was going to be a long flight. But the best part was, he was finally going back home to Salem.
