Banded Reunion

Part 4

Charlie Hutchinson sat at his parents house, playing on the family computer. Even at the ripe age of 22 he was young at heart and enjoyed the things he did when he was a little kid. He was the only one besides Kara to stick around in Cali, with everyone else seemingly moving elsewhere and finding their own paths. It was a shame they barley kept in touch anymore.

Except for the fact that Leo was planning a get together for the five of them to be in the same close proximity again. And Charlie felt quite the accomplishment of being the first person to agree to go (well besides Emma because that was pretty much a given). Next, he got word that Kara was going. The former occupants of room 5115 were two pees in a pod in that way. Out of all the people he's expected to keep in touch with he wouldn't have guessed it would be Kara, but it was. They talked every couple weeks and even hung out on many occasions.

They got closer after the death of Kara's boyfriend Hunter Cole. And now Charlie considered Kara one of his best friends, definitely his closest friend from Ocean Park.

He was doing some last minute shopping for his parents. Things had looked up for his family after Charlie had woken up from his coma. Mandy and Nick had put their differences aside and after a bunch of nasty fights and threatened divorces they began to communicate better and found peace in each other. But most of their closeness came from the mutual love of their son.

And Charlie wouldn't change anything about that situation for the world. Except maybe not falling into a coma in the first place. And that he got more pizza throughout his stay at Ocean Park Hospital.
