The One Direction Manor House

Stealing

Drew sighed as she browsed through the shelves. Harry had dragged her and Connie out to help with errands. They had stopped at a gas station to get gas, of course. Both girls started to roam the gas station well Harry filled up the car. Drew shook her head then walked to the door. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She spun around to face Connie.

"Where you going?" She asked.

"Just gonna go outside." Drew informed her.

Connie nodded and went back to looking at stuff on the shelves. Finally she found what she wanted. She grabbed it and put it in her left pocket. She made her way over to the fridge and grabbed a Pepsi. Connie went up to the checkout. She saw a bunch of lighters sitting in a bucket. She grabbed one, took the sticker off, and shoved the lighter into her left pocket. Soon the cashier showed up. Connie payed for her Pepsi then shoved her hand into her left pocket. She went through the door and am alarm sounded. Her eyes widened. She looked and saw Drew leaning next to the doorway. Connie handed her the stuff in her pocket. Drew looked confused. An officer quickly pulled up and got out of the car. He stared at Drew.

"Hey you, in the purple hoodie! Put your hands were I can see them!" The officer yelled.

Drew froze. As the officer got closer, she bolted, not sure what else to do. She could hear Harry yelling something. She turned around to see Harry running after her. She sped up and headed to the nearby park. Right before she could enter the park Harry caught up to her and grabbed her hood. He smacked her bum hard a couple of times. Drew yelped at each smack. Harry took a hold of her upper arm, took the stolen objects from her and dragged her back to the gas station. As they walked, Harry lectured.

"I'm very disappointed in you, Drew. You were doing so well with not getting in trouble but now you go and do THIS?!" Harry said.

"Harry, I didn't do it!" Drew protested.

"Save it!"

Drew sighed. Finally they arrived back at the gas station. Harry pushed Drew into the backseat of the car and went to talk to the officer. Soon Harry and Courtney got into the front seat. The ride home was full of arguments between Drew and Harry.

"Harry, I-"

"Save it, Drew. I know that the others will be want to talk to you about this too." Harry snapped

Drew groaned and put her head down. When they got home, Connie ran inside. Harry opened the car door, pulled Drew ou,t and slammed the door shut. He pulled her inside and pushed her on the couch. Harry left the room then came with the others. They all had angry looks on their faces, expect for Harry. He looked upset and disappointed. They all surrounded Drew as she stared at the ground.

"What do you to say for yourself?!" Zayn bellowed.

"I didn't do it." Drew mumbled softly.

"What?!" Harry asked.

"I didn't do it alright!" Drew sprung up from the couch.

Louis shook his head. "First you steal now your lying?"

Drew sighed. She plopped down on the couch and buried herself into it. Harry crossed his arms across his chest. They all started to lecture. First Liam, then Niall, Zayn, and finally Louis. They all left, leaving Drew and Harry alone. Harry stood in front of her.

"Drew, what you did was very wrong." He said for the millionth time.

Drew looked directly at Harry. Tears started to form in her eyes. Harry's face started to soften up but it was still hard.

"Harry, I swear I didn't do it." Drew pleaded.

"Drew, you have to stop lying. I saw you do it." Harry said.

"No, you saw me running away because that officer thought I did it. I wasn't the one who stole the stuff."

"Drew-"

"Harry, please. It was Connie who stole it."

"So I'm just going to believe that Connie decided to steal cigarettes and a lighter!"

"Yes!"

Harry shook his head. He sat down and pulled Drew over his lap. He brought his hand down hard over and over. Drew squirmed. Harry sighed. He continued to rain swats. After thirty, Drew was a sobbing mess but Harry still didn't stop. He tugged at her sweatpants. She yelped at each swat. Harry still continued. Soon Connie came running down the stairs. She looked at the sobbing Drew. She ran into the living room.

"Harry, stop!" Connie yelled.

The curly haired boy stopped and looked up. A tear slipped out of Connie's eye as she stared at Drew.

"It's not her fault. It's mine. I framed her." Connie confessed.

Harry just fell silent. He lifted Drew up and set her in his lap. She cried into his chest. Harry wrapped his arms around her and stoked her hair gently.

"I'm so so sorry that I didn't believe you." He said.

"It's a-alright. If I hadn't l-lied so many times y-you probably would have believe m-me." Drew told him.

Harry smiled and nodded. He kissed her forehead then lied her down on the couch. Harry got up. He grabbed Connie's arm and dragged her upstairs to her room. She whined as Harry took his belt off. He bent the young girl over the bed. He doubled up the belt and brought it down onto Connie's bum. She whimpered as Harry continued. After fifty, Harry dropped the belt. He sat on the bed and pulled Connie into his lap. She sobbed into the crook of his neck.

"I-I'm sorry." Connie cried, her voice muffled.

"It's alright but you're grounded for a month and you're going to apologize to Drew." Harry instructed.

She nodded. After she calmed down a bit, Connie went to apologize to Drew. She walked into the living room to find Drew still crying on the couch. Connie walked over to her and sat down next to her. Drew looked up and stared at her friend.

"D-Drew, I'm so so sorry." Connie apologized.

"I-it's alright. I-I know that you were p-probably scared." Drew cried.

Connie nodded. She wrapped her arms around Drew and cradled her. Soon both girls fell asleep.
