Camp Cretaceous (Darius X Brooklynn)

Chapter Thirty-Four

Here we go. Have a good day, stay home, stay safe.

The cops just arrived, and were getting statements from everyone. Kenji was nowhere to be seen. The teens figured that Ben had hit him hard enough to knock him out, or his head was still hurting like hell. Darius and Brooklynn did their best to stay close to each other. When she cleaned his face, the memories of Nublar came rushing back to him. He realized no matter how much he didn't want it to be true, he needed her.

"Mr. Bowman, do you want to press charges against Mr. Kon?" the officer getting his statement asked.

Darius shook his head at her. "No. Kenji's a good friend. I think we all just kind of snapped. It's been a long year, with everything that's happened to us."

The officer nodded. "I understand." She started to walk away, but turned around. "And I can't imagine what you six want through. I'm so sorry."

The oldest teen nodded. A moment later, Brooklynn sat down next to him. "Are you okay?" he asked her after a minute.

She nodded. "I will be." After another few seconds of silence, she continued, "We're all spiraling out of control, aren't we? We thought we could get back into our regular lives, but it seems like we can't do that, can we?"

"We're only going to be okay if we stick with each other." Darius said. "And, speaking of sticking together, I need to tell you something I should have told you months ago." Figuring that there probably wouldn't be a better time, Darius decided to go for it.

Darius turner to her, and said, "You drive me crazy Brooklynn. The way you're quick to think of a solution, offer another plan, the way you argue with me, you drive me insane. Knowing that you're okay is what helps me sleep at night. Because I love you Brooklynn. And I know that my timing sucks because you're moving, but I finally figured out that I wanted you. I want to be in love with you. But even if I can't, then fine. It's just my heart that will never heal."

The two teens had scooted closer to each other, with Darius leaning towards her as he spoke. Darius managed to get himself 90 percent of the way, waiting for Brooklynn to close the rest of the gap. Brooklynn smiled as she realized he was not only being serious with her, but she was right. He did have feelings for her. The teens closed their eyes as they had their second kiss. 

They didn't care who saw, they just enjoyed the moment. They were in a small corner of the room, so they weren't worried too much. That is until they heard Sammy whoop, and Yaz and Ben clapping and whistling. Darius and Brooklynn laughed at their friends. At least they are enjoying themselves. he thought.

"Excuse me, you guys, but I have some bad news to tell you guys." a medic came over the the five teens. "Um, we found a body on the side of the house. Its the side that has the room that Darius and Kenji fought in. Well, we quickly pronounced Kenji Kon dead after suffering severe trauma to his chest and face and forehead."

"Wait, so you mean to tell us that Kenji's.... dead?" Sammy asked, fear in her voice.

The medic sighed, and said, "I'm so sorry."

As soon as the medic turned around, Brooklynn turned back to Darius and sobbed in his shoulder. He held onto her, and soon, the others joined the hug and mourned for their friend.

Two days later

After a short investigation into Kenji's death, the security cameras in the room showed that three minutes after Darius and Ben left the room, he had gotten up, and became more angry. He threw around more stuff, and finally collapsed and cried on the ground. About fifteen minutes after the cops had arrived, Kenji walked over to the window. And just as a cop was about to check up on him, the teen threw himself down from the window onto the hard concrete below.
