Will never liked thinking about the past - his especially. It wasn't because of his breakup with Gabi that set him off. Well, just a little bit. But also some of those things has to do with his mom; and seeing her with EJ while they were looking for Johnny. He felt like it took a lot out of him and he didn't like thinking about it at all.
Will liked being with Gabi. He considered her more of a best friend than a girlfriend. He loved her, but he found himself drifting away in their relationship. The toughest part of it, was when Gabi broke up with him. He felt as if it was the end of the world, and he couldn't keep his tears in any longer.
It was during Christmas when she broke up with him. They were with Abby and Melanie, and Chad and Sonny as well. It was going great earlier that day. Will showered Gabi with gifts just so they could get more closer.
The one thing that he had given her which shocked her, was a silver keychain. He wanted them to move in together, but when she leaned to kiss him, he pushed away. Her anger showed and she couldn't take it anymore. so it had to be in front of his friends that she had to break up with him.
That Christmas, Will didn't have anyone to spend his time with. The one person that was there for him during all of that was Sonny. He weighed him down and gently slapped his hand on his shoulder. Sonny tried his best to console him, he didn't like seeing Will in that way. Being with Sonny, Will didn't have to force a smile. it was automatic; that whenever Sonny showed up, a smile lit up on Will's face.
Will's involvement with EJ was confusing to him. There were too many things going on whenever the Dimera's were involved in something. And usually it was pretty much everything.
That day when Johnny had gone missing, his mom practically ran to EJ. She had asked him if he had taken her away from her; almost like the last time when he took Sydney away from her. It was a few days later, when Will and Rafe had found him hiding under the table in the Pub.
When Will went to look for his mom and talk to EJ about the good news, he found them in a position that he was never able to get out of his mind.
She hated him for being full of it. They are a family filled with drama and mystery, as well as the Brady's and the Kiriakis's. Its Salem; anything and everything happens, and nothing can be taken back.
A lot has happened in a year with Will. But the one thing he was grateful for, was Sonny's friendship. He's glad that he met him, and glad that they are friends.
No matter what Will was going through, Sonny was there to weigh him down and to calm him down with gentle words or an arm around his shoulder. Will felt like himself around him. Giving him a smile that not only lit up a room, but his heart as well.
