- There. Tha-that. Right there.

- 'What?'

- Is what I'm talking about.

- 'What?'

You are just

embarrassing yourself. Stop!

You're right, I am embarrassed

that my daughter lies to me,

and then she lured you up here

promising I don't know what.

And then she hates us for doing

what we thought

was best for you.

And you know what, we did..

We did what we thought

we had to do

because we didn't think

there was

any other way to help you.

But you're okay now, right.

- It's just, he's okay.

- You're right.

- I am okay.

- Right?

Okay, I'm okay

because of my parents.

My real parents.

'They have loved me'

and taken care of me.

They've been great parents.

They have been my parents,

because you..

Because you were too young

an-an-and too poor

and too whatever

to take care of me.

Okay, and that's okay, I get it.

I forgive you.

You know what, I-I-I'm glad

this whole thing worked out

the way I did

because I'm okay..

And I wasn't before.

God, is life perfect now?

For everybody, it's okay.

Really, because I am okay.

And honestly, if I would have to

do this whole thing over again

I would do it

the exact same way.

This time I would choose

to have Chloe in my life.

Because she didn't,

she didn't choose any of this

just like me.

Look... taking the car

and running away was stupid.

It was a dumb idea.

Really, it was.

But it was for the better..

Because I know her now.

And I didn't fu..

I'm-I'm gonna keep

talkin' to her.

Okay, and I want to be able

to keep seeing her

and honestly, I don't care what

you guys have to say about that

or you guys...

because all of you

have been making decisions

for us for too long.

Stupid decisions, bad decisions.

And I'm done.

I want this decision.

I want my sister.

If that's what you want,

Sean, then..

We are-are fine with that.

Us too.

Yeah.

Listen..

- Hmm.

- Thank you, guys.

Thank you for telling me.

I wanted to know.

And it's okay. I-I forgive you.

I just want us to be okay.

Yeah.

We're just..

We're so glad

we got to meet you finally.

- And, umm..

- Yeah.

Well, maybe you'll-you'll wanna

get to know us a little better.

Yeah, man.

Our door is always open.

Thank you.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Thank you.

I'm..

I'm sorry

I put you through this, mom.

I'm sorry

I put you through this.

But thank you for coming, okay.

Thank you both for coming.

We're just glad to see you, son.

Can we just go home, please?

No, no, wa-wai-wait, wait.

Not until everyone apologizes.

Chloe, that's fine.

No. No, it's not fine.

We are family now,

and I'm not gonna let

some stupid fight change that.

I am sorry for my words.

Thank you.

I should have thanked you

for healing him.

Thank you.

- Uh, okay.

- Umm..

Parents!

Hey.

Thank you.

For what?

Not hating me.

That'd be kinda impossible.

I don't know.

I caused a lot of drama,

didn't I?

Yeah, you did.

It was worth it.

Do you really have to go?

Hold on.

- Hey, mom?

- Yeah.

Dad?

Is there any chance that maybe

Chloe could come with us

to Hawaii this year?

Well, if her parents agree..

'...yeah.'

Hmm, we'd have to pay her way.

Umm, I think we can do that,

son.

See? Now, we can surf

the North Shore together.

- Oh.

- Hmm.

I think I'm gonna like

having you as a brother.

Hey.

I'll see ya.

So, I take it

I'm grounded forever?

Well, apparently

that doesn't work anymore.

You okay?

Not entirely,

but that's my own fault.

Um, I don't understand.

I thought that

I could show you how to be..

But that's not fair, is it?

You've got to find your own way.

'I'm sorry that I treated you

like a little boy.'

'You know...'

your hippy-dippy birth parents

they actually have a point.

You should have a choice

in what you do with your time.

But don't get too excited,

we're not gonna go

'full blown-out Chloe here'

but, but I feel like we can

adjust your schedule.

Does that mean I can skip piano?

We could..

Take out the things

that you don't enjoy.

Except the shelter.

We're gonna have to sub

in other things

'but you can choose those two.'

So, can I have some free time..

To waste?

As long as you don't ditch,

to surf.

Thanks, mom.

You're the best.

I'm never

admitting this out loud

but it's good

to be wrong sometimes.

I was wrong about Chloe.

She's a tsunami, inside

a tornado, inside a hurricane..

But I love her anyway.

And I'm glad

she pulled me into her chaos.

I guess life is pretty good.

I'm just happy

I survived this weekend.

And mostly that my friends

weren't around to see it.
