Even If She Falls (Jack Hoppus/Blink-182 fan fiction)

Chapter 6 - My Thoughts Send Me On A Carousel

*Alexia's POV*

"So I have I met your mom before?" Mark asked me continuing to drive. 
"I'm sure you have. I mean, she was going to your local small shows, so I'm pretty sure you guys must have hung out." I answered.

 Jack pulled out his phone and went on instagram. I tapped my thighs lightly and started thinking about my mom's reaction. I giggled to myself. 

 "Why are you giggling?" Mark asked fixing his mirror to face me. 
"I'm just thinking of my mom's reaction." I answered continuing to laugh. Jack put his phone away and smiled at me.

  Mark started driving down the street my house was on and I started getting a weird feeling in my stomach and quickly grabbed Jack's hand. He was a bit taken back, but got used to it after a couple of minutes.

  Mark finally pulled into the driveway and I freaked. I let go of Jack's hand and Mark opened the car door for me. I thanked him and we made our way to the front door. I started shaking out of nervousness and it was hard to grab my key correctly. 
 As soon as I was going to put my key in the keyhole my mom opened the door. 
"Hey mom. I told you I was..I was with Mark Hoppus. I mean not with him like that, but"-"Holy shit  Mark." My mom said to Mark ignoring everything I had just said. 

 "Yeah? You look a bit familiar, what's your name?" Mark asked her as we walked inside.
"Sarah." My mom answered while they both sat on the couch.
"Sarah and Alexander?" Mark asked her a smile starting to form on his face.

 Mark knew my dad's name..

 My mom nodded while tears were forming in her eyes and I don't think I've ever seen her smile like that ever since my dad died.
 Mark got up and hugged her, "Me and Tom had the hugest crush on you and we were so mad at Alex." Mark told her patting her back.
 My mom started giggling.

"Oh God it's been so long Mark." My mom said to him as he let go of her.
"Yeah I know, because of you and Alexander we are apparently of the biggest bands and people even actually claim we started punk!" Mark explained to her starting to get really excited.

 My phone buzzed.

Do you have any food? Please :(((

I looked up at him and nodded. Jack then followed me to the kitchen.

"Yeah, just get whatever you want." I told him looking for something to snack on. I grabbed some pretzels and a water bottle then sat down on the couch.

 "So um how have you been?" Mark asked her checking his phone then immediately placing it back into his pocket.
"Oh I've been good. I'm pretty sure Alexia has already told you what happened with us." My mom told Mark and rolled her eyes at me jokingly.
Mark nodded, "Yeah if that guy ever hurts you or does anything. Tom, Travis and I will go find him..you know do manly stuff and hurt him okay." 

 My mom giggled and hugged Mark. Jack joined me on the couch with a fruit cup.
"Can I have a pretzel please?" Jack asked me. I laughed and fed him one.
"Wait are you guys a thing?" My mom asked me. Mark busted out laughing and I felt my cheeks getting warm.
 "UH.. no..ew boys..ew love.." I desperately tried to hint at my mom to 'shut the f**k up'.
"AW looook you're blushing you totally have a crush on him." My mom told me trying to sound like Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls.

 I stood up and walked to the kitchen. Jack followed me. I drank my water quickly and threw away the bottle. 

 "Hey are you okay? I know you don't like me, she's just joking." Jack told me finishing his fruit cup and throwing it away in the trash. "I'm fine, and I know she's joking, she was trying to quote one of my favorites movies. And who said I don't like you?" I told him and quickly walked away after the last sentenced I asked him.

Oh fu...why did I tell him that. I'm so stupid and the fact I just left him over there like that. Oh God what's going on with me?

"So, how's touring and the new music and everything?" My mom asked him while they started sitting a bit closer. I raised an eyebrow and sat down. Jack walked into the living room staring at me while he made his way over to me. 

"Music, were doing pretty good people still love us and are patient, so we're doing really good. Touring, don't even get me started about touring. It's always so fun and when you see the cameras flashing all around and when people know your lyrics and sing it back after 27 years, it still feels so good..so surreal." Mark answered getting very excited. I could definitely tell Mark loved blink more than any else, that's for sure.

 "I still have all the posters and shirts and 'merch' you guys gave us for always sticking around till the end of shows." My mom explained to him. She still had the same smile on her face. I felt pretty good and actually safe for once. I'm just still in awe on how my mom knows Mark, how I met Jack, and how I got to also meet Mark.

 I guess things just happen for a reason and it's just so weird. Wait why am I talking about this? This is about Jack and I. Anyways, Jack sat next to me and I'm going to start acting all shy. I pulled out my phone and went on Vine to go see if Brendon Urie posted anything.

 "Positive Hardcore Thursday. I GOTTA GO OUTSIDE! IT'S TOO DAMN BEAUTIFUL TO BE INSIDE!" Brendon yelled making a face at the end. I giggled and realized Mark, Jack and my mom were staring at me.

 I put away my phone and thought of something to say to Jack. At least to not make it awkward.
"Wanna go upstairs?" I asked him quietly standing up. He nodded and followed me to the stairs. 

"Sorry I didn't mean to tell you that. I was uh just joking around." I whispered to him when we finally reached the top of the stairs. "Oh, it's fine Alex don't worry about it." Jack replied back and we continued walking to my room.

  I opened the door and sat on a bean-bag chair plugging in my phone into my speaker and playing some music. Jack looked at me, "Hey there's going to be a party next weekend since school just started and stuff and I was wondering if you wanted to attend it with me?" Jack asked with a little blush forming on his cheeks. 

 A small smile formed on my face and I bit my bottom lip. "Of course. What time do you wanna pick me up?" I questioned going on instagram. He smiled and rubbed his shoulder. "Hm Seven-ish" He replied, with the same huge grin on his face. I start to giggle, but Mark ended it by walking in. 

 "Come on Jack. We gotta get going it's getting late and I'm sure your mom is worried. Maybe you and your mother can come over this weekend for dinner or something. This is just a suggestion, let me know." Mark told me after Jack walked out of my room. I smiled and hugged Mark and followed him down the stairs. 

  I then gave Jack a hug and they both soon left. I smiled to myself and walked over to my mom. 

"Man, how I missed Mark. He's such a nice dude." My mom said wiping her eyes. I gave her hug. "Anyways, you and Jack. I can tell some sparks are flying aren't they?" My mom asked me with a smile.

 "Mom I barely just met him yesterday!" I pointed out. "And you feel like you've known him for years.." My mom added. I nodded. "Yeah that's how me and your dad were." I started feeling uncomfortable and looked down. "Yeah.."

"I think you should sleep Alexia. I love you and I missed you." My mom said pulling me into a hug. She then kissed my forehead and let go. I walked upstairs and laid down on bed, not even caring that I was going to sleep in my school clothes. Right when I shut my eyes, I heard a beep.
