Halstead Sister One Shots

Shoplifting

Gracies POV (12 Years Old)

"Hey Gracie" I heard someone shout from behind me,

"Hey Ali" I greeted my friend as she caught up to me,

"A load of us are going to the mall later, wanna come?" She asked with a smile as she threw an arm around my shoulders,

"I'd love to but I don't think I'll be allowed" I sighed as she shrugged her shoulders,

"Why don't you just say you're coming round to my house for dinner" she suggested "they'll never know" she finished,

"I suppose that would work" I thought "Ok sure thanks" I said with a smile as we sat down at a table and began to eat our lunch. I grabbed my phone and hesitated to think about which brother I should text before deciding that Will would be my best option as I had a feeling that Jay would just say no.

Me: Hey Will, can I go to my friends house for dinner tonight please?

Will: That depends, which friend is it?

I hesitated knowing how Will and Jay feel about Ali. Something about her being a 'bad influence'.

Me: Jennies

Will: Sure. I'll pick you up at 7pm

Me: Thank youuuuu :)

"Will said I could come" I informed Ali who clapped her hands excitedly "well, he said I could go to Jennies house but same thing" I laughed,

"Gracie Halstead, who knew you had it in you" Harry laughed to which I smirked,

"You have no idea" I replied as I began to text Jennie asking her to cover for me, which of course she agreed.

School passed by at a sluggish pace before eventually the final bell rung, singling the end of the day.

"Hey, I just wanna go home and change my shirt I got something down it" Ali said as we walked out of school "It's on the way to the mall though and we'll meet the others there" she said as I nodded,

"Ok, no problem" I said as we began the short walk to her house. We chatted about different things all the way until we eventually reached her house. It was fairly small with a few flowers sitting in a worn window box. We headed up the steps and Ali opened her front door to reveal a fairly neat looking house,

"Mom, I'm home" she shouted "I won't be a second" she said quietly as she turned around and ran up the stairs,

"And let me guess" he mother shouted from the couch "you're going out again until god knows what time" she finished as I looked at the floor awkwardly,

"Can you just shut the fuck up mom you don't have to be such a little bitch about everything" she shouted causing my eyes to widen like saucers. I can't believe that she spoke to her mom like that and got away with it! I don't have parents but I know for sure that if I spoke to Will or Jay like that (which I wouldn't dare) they would tan my backside and ground me for a year, no matter what age I am! The thought sent shivers down my spine! "I'm going" Ali said as she ran back down the stairs in a new top. Her mother gave an unpleasant grunt in response as we left the house "sorry about her" she apologised,

"Oh, it's fine" I said trying my best to hide my confusion as we began the short walk to the mall.

Once we arrived we almost immediately found our group of friends and made our way through the mall, glancing in a few shop windows as we passed. We grabbed some food and luckily I had some money left over from lunch and sat down and ate it in the food court. I couldn't go home hungry, Will's meant to think I've had a full home cooked meal!
