So this is how it works:

This is at the end of Chapter 5 so it leaves off after the bang. So here's the Alternative ending, another one will be up in a few hours I guess I don't know maybe. If not then, soon. Ok read and review! Also I'ts 7:23 A.M and I haven't slept. Yup I feel proud and tired anyway READ ON and peace :D

The tears started to hit the gun. Nick forced himself to get out of the chair and in front of the bed. Crying harder, he pointed the gun to Ellis. His sweet smile was still on his face. The same warm smile he had on when they first met. The same smile that gave off the light in the darkness. The same smile that made Nick fall in love with him. He pointed the gun down.

"I just can't do it."

"Nick, you gotta. You promised."

The room filled with silence. "Okay."

He raised the gun and pointed it to Ellis' head again. The same smile was there. The conman started to think about the past. Of all the Keith stories, of all the times where he yelled at him, of all the times where he loved him, and of everything he could think of. He remembered the sugar mill, the swamps, the carnival, the mall, and everything they've been through. All the times that when someone was hurt, he would think of something funny to say, just to brighten up the moment. He pointed the gun down again.

"Are you sure you want me to do this?"

"Yes, now come on, Nick. I don't wanna turn and hurt you or somethin'."

Again, he pointed the gun back up to Ellis' head.

"Any...Any last words."

The smile still there, "Yeah."

"Then, say it."

"I love you, Nick."

He pointed the gun down. He started to cry harder with the tears falling down on to the gun. He pointed it up again and closed his eyes.

"Ellis, I love you, too."

Then a blast of nothing. Silence filled every inch of the room. Not wanted to open his eyes, Nick dropped to the floor. He cried harder then what he cried before. He just killed the love of his life. He cried and cried, sobbed and groaned. Not wanting to see what he did to the poor boy, he left his eyes closed. Tears still pouring down his face.

It was all over.

The cries deepen with the gambler started to pick the gun back up. He opened his eyes to see the bloody mess. It was a head shot right in the boys forehead. His head was still and looked more alive then dead. The fresh blood from the wall began to drip down to the back of the corpse's shirt.

In horror, Nick still stared at the mess and noticed something rather odd.

Ellis was still smiling.

This caused Nick to cry less and started to laugh. He looked down at the gun and used his sleeve to dry up the tears. "At least he died happy."

He looked at the boy then down to his gun. He ran to the door and locked it quickly. He pulled all the small tables and chairs in the room and pulled them to hold the door in place. Then he walked over to where he was in front of the window that the hazard men and Dr. Hale could see through. Without hesitation he pulled it to his head with the same smile as the dead boy's.

Before he pulled the trigger a voice in the intercom arose. "Nick, you best put that gun down."

It was Rochelle.

"What do I have to live for? He's gone I got nothing to do. Nothing to live for. He was the only guy that made me feel something. I use to be a fucking robot. Now, with him I felt like a real human being for once in my fucked up life."

"What about your daughter?"

"Is she going to forgive me with the past? No, don't think so. Is she going to forgive me for killing her boyfriend's best friend since 1st grade? Double no. Either it's this or another decade in this shit hole. So goodbye! I'm sure I'll tell Ellis you said 'Hi'".

"Nick don't-

Bang. Head shot.

Before he pulled the trigger, Nick muttered his last words.

"I love you, Ellis."

This is because he knew he was going to hell. Ellis was a nice guy and he didn't deserve to be in hell or whatever there was in the afterlife. Nick always thought of it that way, the nice people go somewhere else other then hell. Somewhere else doesn't mean Heaven, but only if that person deserves it. It means whatever that person deserves. To be reborn, to be a ghost, or to just sleep forever.

In that case, Nick knew this would happen so he died anyway. Most likely they'd be in the Great Divide. To Nick, the Great Divide was this theory he thought of when he was in high school. It was when one bad person and one good person where in love and both died at the same time. It was when they said their true and final goodbyes. When he was 16 it all made sense to him, but now he just wanted to be proven.

It was his test to find out. So with that, he died the same way Ellis did.

A smile on his face.

I gotta admit this was a bad ending. It all made sense in my head but then I thought of this and I don't know if I should keep it but I forgot the other thing and UFHUIAFGILA I don't know anymore. So, another ending ahead and then this story will be complete :D Review and do what ever you do! Kthxbai!
