Adopted by One Direction

A/N: Hey guys! Just going to put it out there right now that I won't be updating so often and that there is no proper update schedule that I have for this. So for now, the updates will come at random. Thanks for understanding :).

"Fuck off, dude!"

"Not until you let Britney go, and no swearing!"

Britney giggled at Liam and Louis's rivalry. It was about 4:00pm and Liam wanted to go shopping for Britney's clothes so that they wouldn't have to worry about her wardrobe later.

Unfortunately, Louis had another idea.

"Come on, Liam! Shopping is boring and I don't think any of the other boys would even accompany you!" Louis says, trying to reason with an annoyed Liam. Liam dramatically drags his hand down his face as an exaggeration and Britney starts to laugh.

"Shut up, guys! I'm trying to sleep here!" Zayn yells, adjusting his position on the couch. Britney's smile slowly turns into a frown and she immediately stops laughing.

She didn't like being yelled at, it made her feel guilty for no reason. So instead of getting yelled at again, she snuggled her head into Louis's neck while he carried her.

Liam and Louis's eyes softened at her vulnerable state.

"You know what, on second thought maybe shopping is a good idea." Louis says, trying to lighten up the mood. Liam then nods at Louis and grabs the keys on top of the counter, making their way outside to their other car.

Liam unlocks the white car next to their black van and gets into the drivers seat, Louis and Britney following shortly after. Louis sat shotgun while Britney sat behind them with her belt buckled safely.

"Are we all set?" Liam asks, turning his head to look at Britney. She replies with a small smile and two thumbs up, making Liam smile wider and start the car.

"To the mall!" Louis playfully exclaims, making Britney let out a small giggle.

"Where's Liam and Lou?"

"How should I know?" 

"I'm just asking!"

Zayn rolled his eyes at Harry as he glared at him and stomped away.

"Stupid Zayn." He mumbled, walking angrily upstairs and into Niall's room.

Niall was taking his 'afternoon' nap and Harry couldn't care less if Niall found out that some of his cherry liquor had gone missing. All he needed right now was a drink and Liam had hidden the beer so this was his final resort.

Harry opened the small mini fridge and grabbed a bottle of cherry liquor, quickly opening it and taking a few sips straight from the bottle.

He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and marched back downstairs, sitting on the couch next to Zayn.

He took another swig of the sweet liquor and let the bottle rest on his knee. Zayn occasionally looking at him from the corner of his eye.

"I thought we agreed on keeping the liquor away before the adoption for Britney?" Zayn says, making Harry snap his head towards him. 

"Well she isn't here now, is she? I needed a drink and so I'm having it" Harry replies, brining the bottle up to his lips once more.

Zayn shakes his head and sighs before going back to his phone, typing a small text message to Liam.

To Liam:
I guess Britney hasn't affected Harry enough, because he's not showing any little sign of change.

"Jesus Christ, Liam! Slow down next time mate, or you're going to cross the speed limits!" Louis says, getting out of the car a little wobbly.

As soon as Liam had gotten the text message from Zayn, he knew that Harry had found some way to get his hands on liquor and that wasn't good. Britney was supposed to be helping them and so far it's seems like she's had an effect on everyone.

Well, everyone except Harry apparently.

Right after he read the text, he quickly asked Britney about the clothes she wanted to take home and the few outfits that him and Louis had chosen. And after paying, he stuffed all of the bags into the trunk of the car and raced down the street getting to the boys shared apartment as fast as he could.

Louis was about to open the door to the backseat and get Britney out, but as soon as his hand touched the handle, Liam grabbed his arm and turned Louis to face him.

"Okay Lou, listen to me okay? As soon as you get Britney and enter the house, go straight up the stairs and into her room. Distract her or do anything but don't bring her downstairs" Liam says. Louis blinked a few times before nodding his head.

He then opened the door and unbuckled Britney's belt and gathered her into his arms, showing her a small smile. "Let's go and fix you're wardrobe, yeah? We can even play a game while we're at it! What do you say?"

Britney smiles widely, proudly showing off her tooth gap. "Okay!"

Liam gets all of the shopping bags from the trunk and locks the car before taking the elevator and reaching their apartment. He opens the door and follows Louis up the stairs and into Britney's room, placing all the shopping bags on her fluffy blue bed.

Louis then starts to play with Britney while Liam walks out, heading downstairs and into the living room expecting a drunk Harry.

But there was this little glimmer of hope that he would have realised what he was doing was wrong and put down the bottle while he was on the way.

Unfortunately, when he entered the living room, all he saw was a half drunken Harry with a bottle of liquor and Zayn trying to babysit his ass.
