[color=firebrick]"Oy, I could've poured you some. You are my guest afterall,"[/color] Nathan said as James began to pour himself some water as well. But it was too late to do anything about it so he took his own cup and sat down next to his best friend on the couch. He took a sip of water as James began to talk. His friend seemed to be very stressed out with the whole Kylie and the diner thing. He watched as his friend leaned his head back and sighed heavily. Nathan placed an arm around James in attempt to comfort him. [color=firebrick]"Hey... Things will get better. I mean, we still have our whole lives ahead of us. And I'll always be here to lend you a hand if you need it."[/color] He then ruffled his best friend's hair. Was James' hair always this long? Maybe he should get a hair cut soon. 

[color=firebrick]"So relax and talk to me. Or if you don't feel like talking, that's fine too. I could do all the talking if you want."[/color] Nathan added. For the entire time that they have been friends, Nathan had learned that James kept to himself a lot. It never bothered him though. If he wanted to talk, he could. Maybe that's why they had drifted their first year of college. But things were slowly changing. James slowly began to talk more about himself and Nathan was there to listen but never to pry. 

[color=firebrick]"Ugh... Anyways... I texted you because I was thinking of breaking up with Rachel. What should I do?"[/color] groaned Nathan. His problems seemed trivial compared to James', but some advice would still be nice.
