Darius dragged Ben’s body across the beach, laying it to rest away from the waves. Darius remembered what Brandon taught him after they got back from the islands about CPR, and decided to put it to good use.
Darius started compressing Ben’s chest, trying to get his poor heart started. Nothing, he laid dead. He tried again, still nothing. Darius tried again, as tears flowed on his face. Still nothing.
Darius put his own insecurities aside, and put his mouth on Ben’s, giving 2 breaths, before continuing compressions.
A minute passed. Still nothing.
“Please,” Darius begged, as he went to give another breath, before continuing his compressions, the light now replaced by twilight. “Please don’t die on me. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. I’m sorry I couldn’t say I love you back. Please, don’t leave me. Don’t die now, please…”
2 minutes had passed. Still nothing.
“Fuck,” started sobbing, as he almost pounded, “please, breathe ben!” The compressions continued, as he almost broke then and there. Why wasn’t it working, why didn’t he-
That horrible thought entered his head, a thought he so desperately tried to shake away and remove, but one that consumed his very soul.
No, he couldn’t possibly be…
Darius kept the compressions up, as yet another minute passed by. He had to live, he couldn’t die here, he wouldn’t allow it.
3 minutes turned to 4, then 5, then 6.
The thought grew stronger, ever stronger, but he resisted it, he refused to allow it to dominate him. Ben was going to live, he had to live. He couldn’t possibly-
Be…
Dead.
After 7 minutes had passed, Darius finally stopped.
No matter how much he tried to deny it, no matter how much he desperately fought against it, he could only accept it now in the absence of everything else:
Ben was dead.
Tears welled up in Darius' eyes, as he lowered his head into Ben’s forever still chest. After everything that they’ve been through, after all the times Darius and Ben have had together, the one time he truly realized how he felt for Ben, it was the moment he lost him for good. The moment he failed to save him.
It was all his fault…
“I’m so, so sorry, Ben.”
Darius sobbed, his world crumbling to dust around him. All his mind could focus on was Ben’s last act, that one act of love and sacrifice.
It wasn’t supposed to end like this. Ben was supposed to live, they were supposed to stop the Broker and then he and Ben would live a peaceful life with Bumpy and her baby. It was supposed to be the moment they could all be happy…
Now? That future was gone.
They would have to defeat the Broker on their own, have to head home knowing one of them was dead for good, have to live life without that person in it, and have to hear Bumpy’s sad bellows when she realized Ben wasn’t coming back.
Darius slammed his fist into the sand, the darkness now consuming him inside and out. He was truly alone now.
