it could have been the dumbest thing ever that caused them to drift because it was high school and everything was dramatic as heck back then. i'm saying nate moved to denver about 5 years ago right before his live-in girlfriend passed away. so it's up to you if you wanted to say they have only recently started to talk again or we could have had them forget all about the fight and they started up where they left off as if nothing happened. it'd be nice to have had someone he was close with to kind of grieve the loss.
