One Adoption... Sorry, Direction (1D Fanfic)

Chapter Eighteen

A/N: Finally, a punishment! Do you guys want this to be very punishment-based or filled with punishments? Or would you prefer a regular story but with spankings etc? Let me know xx

After a lengthy discussion, the five boys looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"I feel like we should do some pre-show ritual," Niall muttered. "Jesus Christ I'm nervous."

"Why are you nervous?" Louis asked. "You're not even doing anything."

"Boys," Zayn said. "Stop."

They immediately shut up, remembering what they were about to do.

"Are you sure that Jasmine's punishment is enough?" Zayn asked.

"You're not spanking her yet," Harry said forcefully. At the same time Louis said, "It's not time to spank yet."

Niall and Harry went into the kitchen; Liam, into the living room; and Louis and Zayn went upstairs.

"Alicia," Liam said from behind her. She turned around and looked up at him through tear soaked lashes. "Upstairs."

The girl led the way up the stairs. Liam guided her into his room where he closed the door and sat on the bed. Alicia stood awkwardly next to him until he guided her over his lap.

"You know what you did wrong," was all that he said.

"You do not," SMACK SMACK "Run away," SMACK SMACK "Especially," SMACK SMACK "When Zayn" SMACK SMACK "Or anyone," SMACK SMACK SMACK "Is talking to you." SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK "Understood?"

"Yes," Ali sobbed.

"Okay, I'm done," Liam said, rubbing her back. "I went so hard because you could have been in serious danger. You okay?"

Ali didn't reply, simply crying. Liam pulled her into a hug, whispering softly into her ear, waiting until she had cried herself out.

"Are you okay?"

She flung her arms around his neck, her tears slowing and breath calming, until she was quiet.

"You need to do some more corner time," Liam whispered. Alicia turned her most helpless eyes on him, her exhaustion showing clearly on her face as she silently begged him not to make her. Liam sighed heavily and stood up, still holding Ali.

"Sorry baby, but you did the crime so you have to do the time."

He walked downstairs and placed her into a corner, opening his laptop and watching her carefully.

Meanwhile upstairs, Zayn and Louis knocked on Louis' bedroom door and opened it.

"Jasi," Louis said. The girl was awake, lying motionless on Louis' bed where he had put her earlier. "Jas."

She raised her eyes to them but didn't sit up.

"Jasmine," Zayn said. "Today you've broken a few of our house rules. You swore at me, you yelled and you hit Harry."

"He deserved it because he was being a-"

She was stopped by Louis. "You are already in trouble, young lady. Don't make things any worse for yourself."

They exchanged testing looks before Jasmine gave up.

"Zayn is going to wash your mouth out, because you swore at him," Louis continued. "However, since you hit Harry as well, you're doing corner time."
