A/N: I know the last chapter was short… and I'm sorry, but this one is short too. It's kind of a weak chapter, but it has a needed Guy and Charlie conversation, which has a good end to it, so I hope you readers like it. Thanks for the reviews, and please, keep em' coming!

"How's everything with you, Guy?" Charlie asked stuffing his hands in jacket, since the wind was starting to blow.
"Good, good." Guy nodded. "Busy with a lot of stuff. School, Hockey, finding a job, you know, that kind of stuff. What about you, man?"
"It's good, you know, same kind of thing, college stuff, hockey stuff." There was an awkward feeling between them, as Charlie thought of something else, "Uh, job stuff."
The two stared at their feet as they walked, waiting for something to say, or for a stranger to walk with them just so they could discuss why this person was joining in their non existent conversation.
"How's Connie?" Guy peaked at Charlie, who looked kind of surprised.
"She's good." Charlie said, and Guy nodded. "Actually, she's been going through a rough time lately. Her dad has been calling, and you know she always gets thrown off by that. The guy doesn't call for months, and then he just comes out of nowhere." Charlie sighed, and vented to Guy, knowing that Guy had to deal with Connie's dad issue for many years.
Charlie's voice pleaded for guidance.
"I know how you feel. Sometimes, you just don't know what to say. I mean, I never know what to say to Parker when we get into conversations about her past. "
Charlie looked at Guy, with a smile on his face, "You and Parker going out?"
Guy looked at Charlie, surprised at the question, "Oh, no. I don't think so." Guy shook his head and sighed, "I don't even know."
Charlie laughed a little, "You guys will figure it out."
"I don't know Charlie. She's so complicated. She's this really hang out and just chill kind of girl, but inside, she's this mess of emotions. I can't figure it out. But it's like, I don't even care. I just want to be with her . . . and be there for her, you know? No matter how complicated she and her life is, it's simple that I like her. She's just so scared." Guy ranted, with his hands flying around in frustration.
"How do you know she wouldn't say yes to you asking her out?"
"I know her now. We talk all the time. She knows me and I know her. She's not ready for it. It's so weird, it's like I can read her so well, and I've known her for what?" Guy gasped a little, "Two weeks." Guy stopped walking, and Charlie turned around to look at him, "Two weeks Charlie!"
Charlie laughed, and Guy looked serious. "Okay," Charlie stopped laughing for Guy's sake. "You seem scared. Why are you so scared to be with her?"
The question caught Guy off guard, and he took a minute to think about it, "Because it's going to be a lot of work."
"Is it going to be worth it?"
Guy gave a nod, "Yeah."
"Then it'll be hard, but worth it. What's the problem?" Charlie asked, and Guy walked towards him.
"I don't know." Guy shook his head, and smiled at his confusion because he didn't have a clue on what to do.
"Oh, 'the actual do something' part…" Charlie nodded, as an understanding.
"Anyway, about Connie, you just got to keep her reassured, tell her it's going to be okay." The two walked into the city lights, reflecting the best friend relationship they had as kids.
