And I don't want your lies
And I don't think that I'm
better than you inside
And you can take off your disguise
Cause I can see the truth that's hidden
Behind your eyes

"Yeah why? Yeah why?!" I said, a little bit too loud. "Tom Fucking DeLonge is your dad! One of the most awesome human beings is your dad! Do you understand that?!"

Alex looked at me, confused. "I don't think it's an important thing. Almost trivial, I would say."

I stared at him. He couldn't be serious, right? I mean... no, that was impossible. He couldn't be serious. Alex was probably fooling with me. How could it be trivial to be Tom Delonge's son?!

"Whatever you say, DeLonge."

"This isn't going to make things awkward between us, right?" He asked. "I mean, I don't want you to act like I all wonderful and stuff. I want you to talk to me and enjoy doing so because of who I am, not because of who my dad is."

I shook my head. "Why would I do that? I started liking you before I knew who your dad was."

Alex grinned at me, his eyes shinning. "By the way," I said. "I loved your songs. Specialy the Therapy one, and what you said before it."

The boy blushed, looking at his feet. A small smile appeared on his face, "Thank you. I like that one too."

I was about to ask him why he wrote it, if there was any hiding meaning behind it. But I prefered not to, it would be a very personal question, and I just met him today. I made a note on my head of reminding myself to talk to him about it in the future.

"Do you play any instruments?" Alex's voice brought me back to reality.

I nodded. "Guitar, and I sing on my shower."

He chuckled. "Why on the shower only?"

"You can confuse my singing voice with the one of a whale giving birth." I said simply, making Alex choked and laugh. I decided I loved his laugh. It wasn't annoying to hear it, it was kinda sweet, actually. It reminded me of summer, the warm breeze, orange colours on the sky... Jack, could you please stop being so gay for just a second, please?

But, suddenly, I stopped hearing him. I stopped hearing everything. I became numb for a second, because there they were. Walking just a few feet away from were I was sitting. Mark turned around, and send a big smile to me. Or Alex, I don't know. But it's the same thing; because he saw me. He noticed me sitting here. He knew I came. And I just... my favourite band. This would be the best day of my life, definitely.

"Blink! On stage, right now!" A guard shouted. They all ran on stage, and Tom yelled a "Hellooooo Baltimore! Thank you for having us, you fuckers!" and I was about to scream, too.

"This can't be happening. Is this a dream, Alex?" Said boy turned around to face me, and sent me a big smile.

"It's all true, Jack. You're seeing Blink-182 on stage right now." I felt something bubbling on my chest. Excitement, mixed with joy, happiness and tons of other feelings.

They started. Song after song, they got better and better. How was that even possible? They were already amazing! Travis hit hard on the drums, Mark sang wonderfuly, Tom also. Mark with his bass, Tom with his guitar. The lights were changing from colour every once in a while. I couldn't see Zack in the crowd anymore, neither the group of kids he was with. He was probably okay. Right now, as selfish as it sounds, was me hearing Blink.


"What? Why is it already over?!" I whined frustrated. Alex laughed, again.

"Also the most wonderful things have to end in some moment." He said. I looked at him and pouted, but he just said I looked cute. I frowned, and pouted even more.

"Aww! Poor you! Do you want me to go and ask my dad to talk to you?"

I froze. "W-what? Yo-ou co-ould do-o th-... but... wouldn't it b-e creep-py?"

"Why? I'll tell him I met an awesome guy over here and he will ask me to meet you. Don't worry about it! He'll don't think you're a stalker or something like that."

"Okay. Let's do it."
