Adopted by Linkin Park (Bennoda) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 58

The rest of the tour went by in almost a blur. Every day became a routine. It was the same, hang out with everyone, watch them go on stage, hang with them during signings, party occasionally and go to bed. But, it's over now. We get to go back home, and I have to leave my new friends. We got off the bus, I hugged everyone before we left for home. I watched the world fly by as we were driving to Uncle Jason's house.

Honestly, I'm not emotionally ready for what's going to happen. But, it needs to. So I have to prepare myself. I feel guilty. All of this is happening because of me. If they didn't adopt me, they wouldn't have to deal with Sean anymore. He would have left Dad alone.. No, stop it. you know it's not your fault. It's Sean's fault for being a jackass. The guys love you and always will. That's why they are going through this. I continued to have internal conflict when we got to the house. I went inside and walked to my room. I felt like I was on autopilot. I just laid in my bed, I wasn't tired, but I didn't want to be bothered. I stayed in my room for what seemed like hours, then I had a knock on the door.

"Ty?" Chester came in. I smiled his him weakly before laying my head back on the bed.

"What's wrong, love?" he sat on the bed next to me. I shrugged. Dad sighed and had his arms out, asking for a hug. I forced myself to sit up, laying in his arms.

"I love you, Tyler. I promise we'll keep you safe."

"But, Dad... You shouldn't have to." I looked at him with tears in my eyes. He wiped them before smiling.

"You're my responsibility. You're my kid. Even though I adopted you, it doesn't make it any different. I have unconditional love you for. Mike and I both do." I started sobbing, he just held me.

"It's ok, babygirl. I'm here for you. I'm here." he rubbed my back and held me close.
