Austin P.O.V
Camryn gets Coco out of her car seat while Landon and I get my stuff form the trunk. We walk onto the apartment and look around in awe.

"You like it?" Camryn asks

"No" I say, their faces fall "I love it" I finish. Their faces light up again.

"Well I'm glad, Landon will show you to your room, which is looking a bit plain at the moment because we didn't know what you would like so we are gonna take you out tomorrow and you can get stuff to decorate your room however you want" Camryn says.

"Oh my gosh really, thank you thank you thank you" I say as I hug her. She laughs and hugs me back. Then Landon shows me to my room which they were right about being plain. It's currently just a bed and a dresser.

"I know it's not much but it will get better I promise" Landon says putting my suitcases down.

"You gave me everything just by adopting me, Landon, so thank you" I say and 1 hug him. He hugs me back right away.

"I can already tell your a daddys girl" he say chuckling as he let's go

"Yea I am" I say

Time skip

I'm sitting on the floor in the living room playing with Collette

"Its time to feed and put Collette down for a nap Austin" Camryn says picking her up from her mat thing on the floor.

"But Camrynnnnnnn" I whine.

"Austin Rose" Landon says sternly. I look down in my lap. Camryn feeds Coco then puts her in the crib in hers and dad's room. She immediately starts fussing. Camryn runs out of the room.

"Landon have you seen her pacifier?" Camryn says as she looks around frantically for it.

"No I haven't but I'll help you look" Landon says getting up from the couch. As they look around I get up and run to my room to grab my guitar. I make my way into mom and dad's room sit on the chair by Collettes crib and begin to play

Play song now

[Chorus]
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

[Verse 1]
In the dark we we
We stand apart we we
Never see that the things that we need are staring right at us
You just want to hide hide hide
Hide never show your smile smile
Stand alone when you need someone it's the hardest thing of all
That you see are the bad bad bad
Bad memories take your time and you'll find me

[Chorus]
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

Verse 2]
I could see the sky sky sky
Sky beautiful tonight night
When you breathe why can't you see the clouds are in your head
I would stay there there there
There's no need to fear fear
And when you need to talk it out with someone you can trust
What you see are the bad bad bad
Bad memories take your time and you'll find me

[Chorus]
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I'll chase them all away

[Bridge]
You've got the chance to see the light
Even in the darkest night
And i'll be here like you were for me
So just let me in..

[Chorus]
Cause I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

Chorus]
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

When I finish singing to Collette, she's fast asleep, and I hear clapping behind me.

"Austin that was amazing" Camryn  says

"Where did you learn to play like that?" Landin asks

"I'm self taught" I say as I get up and we walk out of the room. I put my guitar back into my room and join them in the living room.

"Can I ask you guys something?" I ask

"Sure sweetie anything" Camryn says

"Why did you guys adopt me, I mean you already have your hands full with Collette, and your only 17, I'm probably just gonna be one big burden on your family" I say. Landon and Camryn look at me really suprised about what I just said

"What do you mean why? Your a sweet girl and you most certainly aren't a burden to our family" Cam says

"And so what of we're only 17, we are teen parents anyways so we figured why not" Landon says

"Well what are you gonna do when people find out I'm 11 and yu two are 17. I'm only 6 years younger than you, you could be my older siblings" I say

"Age doesn't matter" Cam says.

"Yea clearly" I scoff lookimg at alm the baby stuff around the room and get up. I walk to my room and close the door. Locking it behind me. I here Camryn and Landon talking quietly in the living room. I sit on the floor and open my suitcase. Starting to put everything in my dresser. Realization hits me about how rude I just was to Camryn and Landon. My idols.

My parents

These thoughts continue to swarm my brain until I run out of things to unpack. I lay in the middle of my floor staring at the ceiling, counting the little jiprock points on it. Trying to figure out how the hell I'm gonna apologize to Camryn and Landon. If they even want me anymore.

I'm broken out of my deep thought by a knock at my door. But I continue laying there. Till they knock again.

"Austin, it's Landon, can you open the door please?" Landon asks.

"Are you gonna yell at me?" I reply

"No, I just wanna talk, I brought icecream" he says. I sigh and get up. Unlocking my door and opening it for him. He hands me one of the bowls of icecream and closes the door behind him. We go and sit on my bed. I cross my kegs and begin eating my icecream.

"What was that outburst back there" he asks

"I have anti-social personality disorder, it causes random emotional outbursts that I can't control" I say

"So if you have a random emotional outburst, say we are at the mall and you want something, but we say know and you start getting angry like you did earlier, it's just something you can't control" Landon asks

"Yea basically, I thought Mrs. Wheeler would have told you" I say

"She said your medical history is in your file but Camryn and I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet" Landon says.

"I also struggle with Anxiety and a few other things, that I would rather you read for yourself" I say

"Is there any way we could stop the outburst?" Landon asks

"Some things that usually calms me down after an outburst are reading,watching youtube or playing guitar. As for stopping the outburst,  you have to pick me up and rock me like a baby and stroke my hair which is kinda weird. Usually the staff would let my outburst take its toll" I say

"Alright well, I'm gonna go talk to Camryn. Explain this to her and when Collette wake up which should be soon we're gonna go out for dinner Okay?" Landon says as gets up and he turns to leave the room

"Okay, Landon?" I say

"Yeah?" He as he turns around again. I wrap my arms around him and he hugs back immediately.

"I'm sorry" I say

"Its okay, Cam and I forgive you" He says
