Best of Me (Sum 41 fanfic)

Chapter 9

Charlie's POV

"Charlie! Are you almost done packing?" I heard dad yell up the stairs. Today was our last day here and Warped was starting tomorrow. Since I didn't have a lot, I was bringing it all on tour with me. I emptied everything I wouldn't need before we leave before tomorrow into a suitcase.

"I think so!" I yelled back down to him. I zipped up my suitcase and brought it downstairs.

I looked longingly at my skateboard that I hadn't rode since I got here and decided to skate for a bit. I put on the clothes that I would be wearing today, a pair of guys green basketball shorts, my red converse high tops, and a blink-182 t-shirt. I then grabbed my phone and a $20 bill and stuffed them in my pocket. I called out that I was going skating and got a muffled ok in response and I figured that whoever said that would pass the info on to everyone else.

Once I got on to the main road, I skated until I found a park and then I quickly went to an area where there weren't a lot of people and just did random tricks, just basically showing off. Once I got tired, I walked over to a nearby connivence store and got a coke and a pack of gum. As I was walking out, I walked into somebody, causing me to fall on my ass like the clumsy person I was.

"Are you ok?" I heard a male voice ask me. As I looked up, I realized that I was looking at Mark Hoppus. Holy fuck.

"Um... yeah. Sorry about that. Holy fuck you're Mark Hoppus!" I replied. Well, I was wearing a blink shirt so it didn't matter how strange I sounded.

"No problem. I should have been watching where I was going. Are you going home? Cause I could give you a ride. I take it that you're a fan?" He said with a smirk.

Holy fuck. Mark fucking Hoppus offered me a ride home. This was amazing. I just had to ask dad first.

"Yeah, let me just text my dad." I replied and got my phone out.

To Cool Dad😎:

Hey this is kinda random but can I get a ride home from Mark Hoppus? I literally ran into him in a connivence store and he offered me a ride.

From Cool Dad😎:

Yeah, sure. We haven't talked to each other in a while. Does he know who I am? If not, don't tell him. I want to surprise him.

To Cool Dad😎:

Thanks. Love you!

"He said ok" I told Mark and we walked to his car, making small talk along the way.

"So what other bands do you like besides blink?" Mark asked me.

"I like Sum 41, Green Day, The Offspring, Billy Talent, The Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Rancid, All Time Low, GOB, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Misfits, My Chemical Romance, Queen, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and other similar bands" I said, looking over at Mark. He seemed genuinely impressed with some of the bands I liked.

"Wow. You have an amazing music taste. Some of those bands I haven't heard in years. Is this your house?" He replied. I looked out the window and saw that we were outside the house.

"Yeah. You can come in too. I'll just let my dad know." I said as we walked to the front door. I opened it yelling, "IM HOME" followed by four pairs of feet running down the stairs.

One by one their faces appeared at the door, all wearing some form of shock. Tom looked the most confused because Sum 41 had toured with blink before he was in the band. I slowly turned towards Mark and pointing to Cone, saying, "that's my dad and these are my "uncles"

"You're Cone's daughter?! That's awesome. I remember when we toured, he brought you along so he could put you up for adoption in the states. For the time you were there, everyone was obsessed with you. Also, it's nice seeing you guys again." Mark replied excitedly, shaking everyone's hand. Tom no longer looked confused, as he had finally understood what was going on.

"Well, c'mon in Mark! We haven't talked in so long, how's everything going?" Deryck spoke up, motioning for him to come in.

"Ok, yeah. It's been so long! How's everything going?" He replied.

It was funny how things worked out. I got to meet Mark Hoppus and my dad and his friends got to chat with him.
