“I wish you were here.”

My cell phone was on speaker mode - another thing required for the show - as I stretched out after working through the choreography I’d be performing with Liam during his awards show-opener coming up in a few days. It really wasn’t fair that I had to work my ass off dancing to make him look good while he got to just stand at his microphone and sing. But since I wasn’t one to turn down an easy check, I also wasn’t going to be the one complaining about performing. Especially since I had other things to complain about, like Blaise’s absence.

His sigh was heavy before he finally replied, “I know. I do too. But I’m also glad I’m not cause things haven’t exactly gotten any better over this way. Malia still won’t really eat. She won’t sleep. She won’t even dance. I’m starting to think she may need some counseling or somethin’.”

“Well your brother will know exactly who to recommend,” I replied with an unnecessary petty tone, feeling guilty now that it had already left my lips.

I mean, it was technically a good thing that Knox was seeking help, especially since he had made it clear that his issues ran way beyond the things that I knew about him. But his admission only made the questions I’d possibly never get answers to run rampant in my head.

Who were these people that I’d never meet?

What kind of wounds did they leave?

How did the wounds play a role in who Knox had become?

And of course the selfish part of me also wanted to know what kinds of things he had shared with Kim regarding us, and if the two situations were somehow tied together.

Still, while I had questions of my own, it was clear Blaise was completely in the dark when he asked, “What you mean?”

“You didn’t know Knox is seeing a therapist?” I asked, peeking up at the boom man who leaned the microphone in a little closer like a nosy neighbor peeking over the fence.

And while I rolled my eyes in response, I also caught the amusement in Blaise’s tone when he replied, “Knox? Seeing a therapist? You’re joking, right?”

I shook my head as if he could see me. “Not at all. I met her when we went to dinner a few nights back. Said something about how he was on the verge of self-destructing and how he was healing old wounds left long before I even met him. So probably long before you met him too.”

For a second, the line was quiet as I popped up from the ground, wrapping a towel around my neck and stretching out my arms until Blaise finally asked, “How did I miss all of this?”

“Your guess is as good as mine,” I answered with a shrug before bending over to stretch my hamstrings.

“I mean, he’s alright though. Isn’t he?” Blaise asked, this time with an obvious hint of concern for one of his closest friends.

But again, I could only shrug.
