All or Nuffin. The sequel of If I have to.

Chapter 19

I step out of the hot shower and grab a towel. Looking at my phone I see a missed call from Eli. I've been trying my hardest to find out where Mory is and I know Eli has the answer.
Immediately I get dressed and made my way to his apartment. Hopefully he hasn't said anything to Keith yet. When I get there Eli is eating chips playing video games. Is this his idea of trying to find her?

"Eli was up bro I've been calling you all weekend." I said frustrated with how slowly things were going.

"That's actually why I called you. Look James
I know you wanted me to help you find her but I don't think that's a good idea." Eli said getting up from the couch.

"What the fuck are you talking about Eli?" I Hissed.

"I'm saying what all that's going on right now. Maybe it's best to just forget about her. Besides I don't know where she is." He said with a defensive tone.

"Bullshit." I spat stepping closer.

"Look I said that I can't help you. Just let Keith finish the bitch." He muttered.

Without thinking immediately I connect with  Eli's jaw. Blow after blow my anger keeps pouring out. It's like I couldn't stop. "TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!?" I yelled as blood Began to pool on the wooden floor.

"She's in... in Georgia" Eli cried out. I deliver Another blow to his face and demand for the address. Which he gave weakly.

I stand up to leave but not without thanking him. "Thanks Eli." I said walking to the door. "you were almost like a brother to me."

Adrenaline rushes as I get into my car and speed to Keith's house. It's time to end this. Time to sit down and handle this like men.
Morgan's safety is what matters most right now.  And If there is a God in heaven then maybe there's forgiveness somewhere in all of this. As I turn into the driveway I get an uneasy feeling.  I try best to brush it off as I made my way inside.

"Keith? Keith where are you? We need to talk." I said aloud. No response but his car was in the driveway so I know he's here.
So I make my way to his den which is usually where he is.
As I get closer I heard sobbing from Keith.

I knocked twice on the wooden door. "Damn it Ali. Not now!" He said.

"Keith it's me. We need to talk." I said walking into see him teary eyed and frustrated. 

"James I'm not in the mood. Whatever you want can wait." He said dryly.

"No it can't. It's important." I said sternly.

I watched as Keith rolled his eyes. Clearly he is annoyed but I couldn't care less. He needs to know that going after Morgan is a death wish.  One that he and Ali should just let go.

" You know that I can't let you and Ali do this right?" I started. "Morgan is a good person. She doesn't deserve this shit. And if you honestly think that you're going hurt her in anyway well; then you're just as crazy as Ali."
I said while he wore a emotionless face.

Then he began to laugh a little.
"Or what baby brother? Huh what are you going to do? Shoot me?" Keith laughing seemed to taunt me. It's Like when we were kids and he would find little ways to upset me.
I would run to my mom crying while he would laugh just close enough for me to still hear him.

"Face it little brother there no lap to run crying to." Keith said sinisterly.

I stand up to leave but his patronizing comments made me stop. "I don't know what you ever seen in her; or better yet what the fuck did she see in you." Keith said bitterly.

Looking down at my already bruised knuckles I blackout and reacted.The last time me and Keith fought I had just turned fifteen. He broke my nose and I blacked his eye. Irina did her best to stop the fight but was already too weak by then. Our parents were the only ones that could stop us.
I never forget how as my dad pulled me away Keith screamed that he wished he never had a brother and that he hated me. My dad whispered that he didn't mean it. Said that Keith was just upset but I knew he meant every word.

"I HATE YOU!" Keith swung at me and missed. Somehow we ended up on the floor fighting like we did back then. He started to get the best of me but I hit him harder to gain some control. We heard the door open yet neither of us quit laying punches. I heard a gun cock as Ali stood there with shaking hands. Keith look as tears form in her eyes.
"I don't know what else to do," She said frantically holding the weapon nearly shaking.

"SHOOT HIM!" Keith said as we continued to fight. I'm in disbelief at his words. He tries to hold me down. I fight like hell for my life. For the chance to see Morgan again. I just want to make this right.
Two loud shots rang out.
The gun hit the floor and so did my brother.
I hold Keith in my arms as he begins to claw at my shirt.
Blood pouring out of his neck and chest.
I hear Ali pace around talking to herself but I keep my eyes on Keith.

"Stay with me Keith! We're going to be okay bro just stay with me!"I cried out.

"Ali don't just stand there! Call 911!" I screamed as Keith began to spit up blood.
I apply pressure to his neck.

"I can't do this without him. I can't go to jail. I can't! I can't! I can't!" Ali told herself repeatedly.

I hold Keith in my arms for what I realize is the last time I ever will. His face a facsimile of Irina's on her last day.
" I, shou should've been a better brother." Keith managed to mutter his last words.
I glanced at his watch which read eight o' eight. I sobbed on his chest for what felt like an eternity. Hearing the gun cock I lifted my head up. " I'm so so sorry James. Just Please let her know that."
Ali hands trembled now more than ever as she held the gun to her temple. Slowly I get up to reason with her. "Ali listen to me you don't have to do this." I pleaded while reaching out for the gun.

"Would you want to live without your soulmate?" She asked me. "You you just wouldn't to. So please don't try to make me live without mine." I look back at Keith who's already gone as Ali pulled the trigger. I watched as their pools of blood became one.
