He stormed out of the room. I ran after him, reaching him and clawing helplessly at his arm. He charged out of our dorm room, cursing and blinding as he went.
He practically threw the door open when Jonah answered the door. Grabbing Jonah by the collar of his shirt, he slammed the boy, whom would have never seen this moment coming, into the wall.
"Jameson!" I shouted. But he wasn't listening.
"What the hell are you doing?" Jonah shouted over me as I tried to get Jameson's attention again. Jonah shoved Jameson back as I heard a click behind me. I had never witnessed a Guardian on Guardian fight before, but I had a feeling that I was now graced with the presence of two war-glorified Guardians that were ready for a fight.
But I was also graced with the presence of another.
I turned around, seeing a shocked Bria edging closer to the scene in front of her.
"Stay back, Bria!" Jonah yelled and I turned around to see Jameson snap his head around.
"Is this what it's all about?" He threw his arm out to gesture to Bria. "You think that this secret can help you with your crush?" Crush?
"What the hell are our Guardians doing?" Bria murmured from where she was standing next to me. I was about to respond when Jameson turned in a such a way that sent warning signals through my head. I shoved Bria back and stood in front of her. Jameson didn't acknowledge my move and instead threw Jonah backwards.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Jonah yelled, recovering from where he had tripped over a lamp lead.
"Jameson–"
"Why didn't you tell me?" The boy himself interrupted me.
"Tell you what?" Jonah screamed back, shoving Jameson backwards by the chest.
"The secrets that Eden gifted you." Jameson seethed. The whole room seemed to quieten as a look of realisation dawned on Jonah's face. His eyes flickered between Jameson and I, the guilt and the shock evident on his features.
"What secrets?" Bria asked from behind me.
Jameson span back into action, grabbing Jonah by the shoulders and pushing him towards Bria.
"Why don't you tell her?" I could no longer differentiate Jameson from the monster he had become. Bria backed away, and I followed her, my arm extending out to protect her.
"Jameson, you've said what you wanted to say, let's go." I demanded.
"Jonah hasn't said much." Jameson retorted, suddenly whirling on me. I flinched.
"What the hell do you want me to say?" Jonah's voice rose.
Jameson scoffed, "a massive secret for a massive dickhead."
Jonah swung around, his first flying in the direction of Jameson's face. Jameson dodged it, but Jonah already had a backup as he shoved Jameson into the wall.
"They are going 'round in literal circles." Bria muttered from behind me. I reached out and latched onto her wrist. I'm not too sure who it comforted more.
"Do you want me to apologise?" Jonah demanded. Jameson went silent.
"Why are you so angry, man? I haven't told anyone." Well, at least one thing has come from this boxing match.
