Days With Zion Dawsey

28. Cockfight

When Zion arrived at the men's toilets, he pushed the door open with so much force that it slammed against the wall hard.

Cirus visibly flinched but expected Zion to follow him. The two glared at each other and Cirus immediately knew that Zion knew. He wondered how he found out. Or maybe he just made it too obvious.

"The great Zion Dawsey following me? Whatever did I do to deserve your attention, your highness?" Cirus mocked him, turning to wash his hands with an arrogant smirk.
"Oh, how the roles are reversed now. First it was you following me, wasn't it?" Zion took a step closer, letting the door fall closed behind him.

"Only that you didn't stop there, did you? You went as far as break into my mother's house. You went as far as befriending Bonnie just to get that story of yours." Zion said, stopping in front of Cirus, who had dried off his hands by now and looked up at him with the smirk still playing on his lips.
"The story." Kent shook his head.

"You think I cared about the fucking story? About Bonnie? About that bastard of yours?" In a swift motion, Zion had Kent pinned to the wall as he almost choked him.
"Think twice before you talk about my son." Zion growled, pushing him further against he wall.

"I'm not afraid of you. Not one bit you asshole." Kent choked out, his ability to breathe getting worse.
"You will be, once I'm done with you." Zion snapped before pulling Kent with him by his neck and slamming his head against the tiled wall again. He heard the door open behind him but didn't care.

Kent had his hands around Zion's neck now, trying to get him off. But Zion shook his head, not letting him go that easily. He smirked sardonically before slamming him against the wall again.

"The auction is about to start and they're still not here. I'll go check if everything's alright." Bonnie had a bad feeling about Zion and Cirus being in the same room alone. She really didn't know why Zion was that rude to him, but she was going to find out.

After seeing Sheryl and Maddox nod, she stood up and walked towards the direction of the restrooms. At first Bonnie thought she made a wrong turn when all of a sudden she saw a huge crowd in the hallway. But when she stepped closer, she realized they were watching something and she couldn't help but peek as well. She pushed her way through the men and gasped once she realized what was happening.

"Zion!" She shouted as she ran up to the two fighting men. Kent somehow managed to get free but didn't leave. He threw a punch at Zion and now the two were on the ground, punching and hitting each other.

They didn't even hear Bonnie yell as Zion managed to get on top of Kent. He held his collar and punched his jaw. Bonnie yelled Zion's name again and tried to push him off Kent. She wasn't strong enough and looked at the crowd.
"Is no one going to help me? You're all just watching like a bunch of students watching a fight on the schoolyard?" She yelled at them.

Thankfully a man stepped forward, causing a few others to try and pry the two apart. Bonnie rolled her eyes when Zion complained.

"Who do you think you are? Let me go or I will end you." Bonnje saw that the man who held him gulped and was about to let him go. So she stepped in front of Zion with a glare.
"What in the world is wrong with you?!" Zion glanced at her and immediately realized where he was and what he was doing. He had lost his temper and whole Silverthorne was going to know by tomorrow, he was sure.

"Let me go." He glanced at the man holding him. The guy let him go and he looked at the door, where a bunch of big eyes greeted him.
"Don't you have something to do?" He barked at them and the people quickly left, hoping not to become Zion Dawsey's next victims. The man who was holding Kent back left as well, but Bonnie stayed.

"What is this?" She looked between Cirus and Zion.
"What does it look like? That lunatic attacked me." Cirus said, making Zion chuckle.
"I'll show you a lunatic, you piece of shit." He stepped forward, but Bonnie placed her hand on his chest with a glare. Zion clenched his jaw and held eye contact.

"Tell me what happened." She demanded, but Zion only looked away from her. She looked at Cirus.
"He wouldn't just attack you like that. What did you do?" She asked, surprising Zion.
"Nothing, I swear. He just came at me out of nowhere." Cirus said.

"Out of nowhere? Tell her what you said. In fact, why not fucking tell her everything. That you gave the press that anonymous tip about mine and River's actual relationship. That you only used Bonnie in order to get that story out there." Zion said, making Bonnie gasp. She looked at Cirus for confirmation and blinked when she saw his balled fists.

"That is not true! Bonnie, I never used you." He stepped forward to grab her hand, but she took a step back, not believing what she was hearing. Cirus shook his head.
"Bonnie, I would never do that. I like you a lot. I was there for you the whole time. I'm your friend, don't believe him. Please, Bonnie." But she didn't answer, she only stared.

"When you told me about the miscarriage, remember? I was there for you, not him. Why would you believe a word he says?" Cirus continued. Zion looked at Bonnie when he heard the word 'miscarriage'. What miscarriage? Bonnie glanced at him and shook her head at both of them.

"I don't know whom I should believe here. I- I don't understand what even happened. I-" She stuttered and started to distance herself from both. She just couldn't believe either of them. She didn't want to believe that Cirus was the monster that did that to her and her son.

"Bon?" She heard and not even a second later, all she saw was black.
