Untimely Revenge-Battle of the Wills
"So, Dall, why you so interesting in my love life when you're so into my man Rome?" Brian asked, folding his arms. He knew if he riled her up enough, she might be able to bust open the door.
"I'm not gonna let you get to me." Kendall sighed, wondering if he was saying this stuff on purpose or if he was really asking. He had that annoying personality about him and it was hard to tell his motives.
"Really? Good for you." Brian nodded. "So, why you blushin then?" He asked, tapping the dashboard in a rhythmic manner.
"You're impossible, you know that?" Kendall asked, wishing her locks were anything but electric. She hated being stuck in here with him.
"So, you like impossible men. No wonder the interest and wanting to date Roman." Brian grinned with an emphasized nod.
"You won't make it outta this alive." Kendall growled, attempting to pull out her hair.
"If YOU go, you go." Brian replied, knowing his grins were working her nerves as well.
"Shit, Brian, do you feel water?" Kendall asked, getting distracted by the water rushing the floorboard.
"We gotta get outta here." Brian sat up straight, attempting to break the window.
"It's no use. I had my windows made non-breakable once my ex shattered it three times." Kendall laid her head on the cool glass of the window. She drew her feet up under her, keeping them from getting soaked.
"Man, violent, was he?" Brian asked, shocked to hear her latest admission.
"To say the least. Violent is an understatement." Kendall mumbled, hating to admit she had been weak and let someone overpower her.
"Damn, I'm sorry." Brian said, not sure of what else to say.
"It's my fault. Nothing you have to be sorry for." Kendall replied, her voice soft.
"Kendall, you can't control the world. Give yourself a break." Brian said, trying to work on the door, his teeth gritted as he lectured her for being so hard on her self.
"I cant. It's because I relaxed my dad died." Kendall said with a huff, hitting her frame against the door as if to punish it.
"Kendall, you couldn't have done anything to stop it." Brian objected as Kendall stared out the window defeat idly.
"Yes, I could have." She replied through gritted teeth as she repeatedly kept hitting the door with a grunt on each word, emphasizing it all the more.
"No, you couldn't have. Besides, you always blamed me." Brian said, resisting the urge he had to lean over and wipe away her tears and held her face.
"I only did because you were part of the same police force. I was just….I just took it out on you." Kendall broke into sobs, although feeling better she had gotten to finally admit that much to Brian. Her defense mechanisms were truly down, for the first time he had ever known her, Brian mused. "There, are you happy?" She asked, wiping her eyes.
"No." Brian answered, sounding shocked. "I have known you for a long time and I want you to be happy, not be torturing yourself with guilt that isn't even yours to be guilty about." Brian said, wanting to be honest with her about Roman. "You and Rome, you have no idea…" He was interrupted by the car sinking a slight bit, jolting the both of them.
"We're gonna die here." Kendal looked almost panicked, growling a she repeatedly attacked the door. She slammed her head on the steering wheel in desperation.
"Cover your eyes." Brian stood up, making the car sink a bit further.
"What are you doin?" Kendall shrieked, in panic, shrinking closer to her side, letting him have room.
"Kickin out the front." Brian sat in the seat, his legs in the window shield and getting ready to make them kick out the window.
"You can't do that…" Kendall started as the car sunk a big amount in the muddy water and more water rushed in. Brain leaned over in a fast manner, covered her eyes, and kicked the windshield with all his might.
"Come on girl. Give me your hand." Brian said, climbing half way out and then at her hesitation, just pulled her out with brute force. The rain was pouring and the car was now sinking every few seconds, now making squeaking noises. The water rushed past them and even the muddy banks seemed to be widening in the few seconds they were on top of the car.
"My car." Kendall teeth chattered as he her eyes looked for a way to get to the bank. The water was too fast to wade through it.
"It was the car or us. I chose us. And if you keep moaning, I'm sure we can still fall to the water." Brian said, his hair dripping wet and the rain in his eyes." We're gonna hafta jump." Hr said, giving up any other hope of escaping the torrential rain. The rain was so heavy that they could barely see in front of them.
"I can't swim." Kendall said, shouting as lighting cracked over them and she spit out the rain in her mouth.
"Yeah, right. Funny." Brian shouted back over the thunderous roar. He then knew she wasn't joking. He shook his head, then sighed. "You're going to have to, Dall. There's no other way." He said, looking at the almost completely under water car and the water now up to their necks. He had a strong grip on her hand, ready to jump. "On my count, we're jumpin." He nodded as she shook her head and the thunder continued to roll.
"No. No. No way." She shook her head adamantly.
"Come on, You scared? I can't believe it." Brian rolled his eyes, the coldness of the rain making them sting.
"I'm not freaking scared." Kendall moved her drenched hair out of her eyes as she screamed the reply in anger.
"Then jump." Brian yelled back, his heart pumping and body shaking as they sunk further under. Now he was treading water.
"No, we'll drown!" Kendall said, her eyes wide with fear.
"It's a damn creek. On e way or another, its gonna happen if we don't fucking move form the car, Kendall." Brian yelled, She stood on the hood, perched up there, her stubborn self not giving in.
"No. You go. I'll wait. Surly there will be help." She said, sitting on the roof as much as she could, then on her knees, the current being so strong.
"Fine. I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Brian took a deep breath.
"For what?" Kendall asked, shielding her face from the icy cold raindrops.
"I have a confession." Brian sighed, treading water below his crewmember. He was glad the thunder covered up his shakiness and the noise kept her from hearing his sighs.
"Brian, come on. Not the time." Kendal rolled her eyes.
"I lied. I was…." Brian was now breathing heavy from the effort of the treading and his lungs and chest were hurting from the rain and wind. "I was there when your dad…..died." Brian said, giving her a minute to take in what he had confessed and to process it all.
"I'll kill you. I'll fucking kill you….you sorry…" Kendall screamed, with violent shakes of her fist and hurt in her eyes. She was screaming louder than she had ever screamed in her life and her body was shaking uncontrollably. Brian jumped in further in the water and as he had expected, she dived din thoughtlessly after him.
"It feels better to get it off my chest." Brian yelled, mainly to keep her from focusing on the water and fueling her anger to catch him, as well as to let her know his whereabouts. There wasn't' an answer for a short second and he got worried. First, for her safety and secondly, not knowing if she was closer to him than he had thought.
"You die tonight." Kendall jumped on his back, her arms around his neck.
"Dall…" Brain and her both went under water, this making her choke and let go of him. He grabbed her waits and got her pulled back above the water to catch her breath.
"Don't …don't Dall me. Don't talk to me …you…you …. You murderer." She spat as she tried to catch up to him, him talking off yet again. He watched her closer this time, getting closer to the bank.
"I hope I can run in wet ass jeans." He muttered to himself, knowing he was going to need to be able to keep a distance between them. He had pissed her off in one of the worst ways. He knew he was a dog to bring up such a hurtful thing but it was the only way to taunt her to the bank and to safety.
"I hate you, Brian O'Connor!" Kendall yelled, flailing in the water as she worked her way towards him, spitting out water every so often.
"Damn." Brian swam in the water easily and then yelled as he realized he needed to move quicker. She was fighting the water and winning the battle. She was beginning to look tired. "It might help to catch me before you go making such promises." He yelled over hi shoulder, to motivate her.
"Oh, shut up. I don't need you!" She yelled, then going under water as the current rushed her and took away her breath and energy.
"Saved you again. For someone who doesn't need my help, you sure are drowning a lot." Brian countered, making sure to grin despite his pain to piss her off even more as she caught her breath.
"You hope you have a body to have a funeral when I'm done." Kendall growled, crawling on her hands and knees in the mud on the bank. She waited for him to get to the bank. He had managed to make her so mad now she was waiting on him, as though he was prey.
"I think I'm good right here." Brian nodded, treading water and staying far from the edge. "Probably safer too." He thought out loud.
'You have to come out sometime and when you do, you be sure to remember your last moments cause I'ma rewrite your fate." Kendall promised, pacing back and fourth on the side of the creek, mud dripping off of her wet, clingy clothes. Brian grinned as Kendall, shivering, tired to wait him out. It was now a battle of wills.
