"What?" Kiara asked.

Justin shook his head, hugging his knees to his chest.

"Justin talk to me," Kiara said softly.

"He..." Justin said, trailing off, coughing.

"Justin, sugar, breathe," said Kiara.

"S-Sorry..." Justin said, closing his eyes as he took deep breaths.

"Shhhh, it's okay," said Kiara gently, placing a hand on his shoulder

Justin shook his head, but relaxed at Kiara's touch.

"It's alright Justin, I promise," said Kiara

"No....no it isn't..." Justin sighed.

"Let me help then," said Kiara

"I don't know if you you can...it's not to do with me..." Justin mumbled, frowning again.

"If you tell me then I can try," said Kiara.

"It's...to do with the ass..." Justin sighed.

Kiara nodded. "What about him?"

"He's...like Will..." Justin said slowly.

Kiara nodded in understanding. "How long?"

"Um..." Justin trailed off nervously.

"You can tell me," Kiara said softly. "I won't tell anyone."

"A few months..." Justin said quietly. "But like I said...it's not me I'm worried about..."

"Heath?" Kiara asked.

Justin gave a small nod, frowning.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he's taken care of," said Kiara

Justin nodded. "Thank you..." He said quietly.

Kiara reached up, brushing a hand over Justin's cheek. "Anytime sugar."
