joven's pov

"EJ ?" was all my mouth could muster out. how though ? I saw his dead body with my own damn eyes ! this couldn't be him but yet every feature I remember him having so does this man.

I tear the duct tape from his mouth and scowl at him "start talking"

if this was EJ then he would have no tongue so once he starts talking then I will know for sure. he opened his mouth to talk and he had a tongue. He must be a twin. he said in a Brooklyn style accent "I'm not EJ you faggot"

I was  taken aback. I did something I wasn't even thinking about doing. I hit him "damn it you ass hole. why the  hell did you do that ?" he asked.

I answer "because you called me a faggot"

He mumbled "well it's true. if my brother hadn't saved you that night then he would still be here"

I glare at the bigot. I decided to hit him again. he yelled again "what the hell man ?! why do you keep hitting me ?"

I reply sharply "because you are being an ass. be nice"

he rolled his eyes "whatever fag"

I buck at him again and his voice got higher "alright alright I'm sorry. just stop hitting me"

I lower my fist and demand answers "why have you been following me ? It's not my fault some maniac killed EJ"

he rolled his eyes again and began his explanation "I wanted to see the reason why my brother had a target on his back. you could have left him out of this, but no you had to go and drag him into your life drama"

I yell back "It's not my  fault ! he stepped in and drove those guys off that night with his own free will !"

"that's because my brother was a good guy !" he screamed

I felt my rage build  more "good man ? the only good thing he ever done was helping me that night. he was a lying cheating bastard. and the only good thing he left on this earth is the baby inside of my future sister in-law "

he looked stunned and didn't know what else to say. I guess he didn't do his homework very well. His facial features softened a little "he has a baby ?"

I nodded. he took a minute to digest what I've said. finally I saw a tear slip. I felt bad for him. he sat on the ground and hid his face in his hands. I knelt beside him "the girl carrying the baby said if it's a he then she will name it after EJ"

He looked over at me and dried his eyes "really ? did she love him ?"

I nodded. I also said "he might have been a liar and a cheater but he was a decent person. not many people would have drove those guys off in the ally that night. He didn't deserve what happened to him"

the sad twin sniffed and wiped away another tear. I actually feel bad for him. he was just coping with his brothers death in the only  way he knew how. it was a dick move to follow me around like that but I think he's learned his lesson. I stand and extend my hand to help him get up and I asked him "so do you want to meet her ?".....
