Sorry for the late update!! I've really struggled to write the ending for this and i have exams soon (4 or 5 weeks!!) so i've decided to double post and finish this.

Massive thanks to: Krissy, Ria-Dancergirl:) and AnaDry for reviewing the last chapter - this is for you!!

Tyler hung up and sighed, not believing that he was going to meet his parents tomorrow and tell them his decision. His thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock on the door, it was Camille.

"Hey," she said quietly. In her hands was a bowl of peanut butter Cap n Crunch she knew Tyler liked.

"Hi, that for me?" He asked, smiling.

Camille nodded and held out the bowl.

"I love you," he laughed and set the bowl down, before pulling her into a giant hug.

Camille felt tears prick her eyes as he hugged Tyler. She couldn't believe he was going to leave. On one hand she was happy that Tyler had met his real parents, it was something that she dreamt of it. It wasn't that she was unhappy with Lena, Bill, Tyler and Max, but part of her wondered what it would be like to meet her biological parents.

"Hey, what are you crying for?" he asked softly, noticing tears run down her cheeks.

"'Cause your leaving." She mumbled, "now your parents are here."

"Cam, I'm not going anywhere." He reassured her, touched that she cared.

"Really?" She asked, her eyes full of tears.

"Really." He whispered in her ear before kissing the top of her head gently...

Tyler took a deep breath as he walked down the street, outside MSA were his parents, he had arranged to meet them there before school.

"Hi," they greeted him nervously.

Tyler nodded, not wanting to drag this out any longer.

"Look I appreciate how much it took to contact me, and I'm glad you did. But I've lived 17 years without you. I can't go to live with you or play happy families, because we aren't. I don't know you and right now I don't want to. I'm happy with life the way it is. You guys are 7 years too late."

He said, all in one go, hoping that it would make it easier.

"But Tyle..." Leanne began, on the verge of breaking down.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this, not now. You aren't my parents. Not really."

He said, finding it weird that his voice was so calm while inside this was tearing him apart.

"I understand," Lee said, his face showing the obvious dissapointment he was feeling.

"I'm sorry we gave you up, I'm sorry we've came here and messed with your head, I'm sorry that we can't make it work."

He said, and looking into his eyes Tyler knew he was telling the truth.

Leanne seemed to pull herself together enough to say,

"you have our number. Give us a call sometime and maybe, when your ready, we can talk."

Tyler just nodded, not trusting himself to speak. He knew this decision was right for him but it was so hard to turn his back on the thing he had wanted for so long. His real parents.

"Hey Ty!!" He heard Nora shout, he didn't reply though. He just watched their black SUV pull away, out of his life.

"Ty?"

Nora questioned, she noticed the tears in his eyes, when she got close enough to see them. She never asked what was wrong, all she did was rub his back gently. Sure enough a few seconds later Tyler broke down and she pulled him into a hug, feeling the dobs wrack his body...

Once Tyler had calmed down he and Nora walked into the empty dance studio in silence. Once they had sat down Tyler apologised,

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologise, you've seen my cry before."

Nora smirked, truthfully she was glad that Tyler was expressing some emotion, sometimes he was so cool it mad her uneasy. She guessed it was just the way he learned to cope when he was moved from foster home to foster home. He never talked about his childhood, never.

"What happened?" She asked

"I told them that I didn't want to see them, they're too late." He sighed.

"So you're ok with shutting them out of your life?"

Nora didn't want to sound unsupportive but she couldn't believe that he did that.

"It's my decision to Nor and right now I'm not ready, I'm happy with Lena, Camille and Max. It's not good for me right now. I decided a long time ago I didn't need them." He explained, it was strange the more he talked about it, the better he felt about it.

Nora just smiled and nodded, she noticed the change in Tyler's demeanour, he seemed to be assuring himself of his decision. She had also noticed that in his list he never mentioned Bill.

"As long as you're happy. I'm happy." She said before leading him to their first lesson...

How was that?? The next chapter is a short epilogue ...
