Adopted by Linkin Park (Bennoda) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 9

Brad's point of view

I went to change my clothes, when I got my pants on, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Tyler," she said.

"Come in." She came in, she's wearing her Linkin Park shirt and some jeans.

"What's up?" I said as I was looking for a shirt for me.

"Nothing. I like this shirt." She pointed to the BVB shirt. I put it on.

"Thanks, Tyler."

"No problem. Now, where is my present?"

"I knew you would ask that. Close your eyes and hold out your left hand." She did. I looked for the Linkin Park necklace and All Time Low bracelet, I put them on her.

"Open them." I said. She did and looked in the mirror.

"Brad, thank you." She hugged me. I hugged her back.

"Your welcome, Tyler." I smiled. We walked downstairs, everyone was sitting on the couch with a box in their lap.

"Happy birthday, Tyler!" we shouted. She hugged us and sat next to me on the floor.

"Who's present do you want to open first?"

"Rob's." I handed her the one Rob had. She opened it, there were comics and a new phone.

"Thanks, Rob. I love these comics." I handed her Pheonix's present. It was a Batman blanket and a drawing pad with colored pencils. Joe gave her a stuffed animal and a grey colored guitar. Chester gave her tickets to Panic! At The Disco. And Mike got her a guitar pick and a black bass. Every time she opened the presents, her face was pure joy.

"Thank you, guys, so much." She hugged all of us again. Joe and Rob left to the kitchen, they came back with a cake that was shaped like the Linkin Park logo. We sang Happy Birthday and she blew out the candles.

"I love you guys." She said.

"And we love you too. What did you wish for?" Chester asked.

"I'm not going to tell you, it won't make it come true." She looked at me. I knew what she wished for, even without her telling me. She wished for the best life. We ate the cake and went outside, another present from all of us was a pool, and maybe a water gun fight.
