Trembling, whispers P-please don't tell them. I—I just...
I grab her hand let's go home
She looks up at you with pleading eyes, tears welling up
P-please... can't we just... talk about this? I-I promise I won't do it again!
what did you steal this time? I say as I pull her out into the alley
She sniffles softly and looks up at you with pleading eyes, tears welling up in her eyes
I-I didn't mean to take anything, I swear. It was just some... some clothes. They were cute, and I couldn't resist. I promise I'll pay you back, please don't tell mom and dad.
Whispering back Calm down, they won't find out from me. Let's get you outta here.
She nods, still trembling as she follows you quietly out of the store. Once outside, she leans against the wall, taking deep breaths to calm herself down.
it’s alright sis let’s go home and we’ll figure this out
tears well up in her eyes as she looks at you, grateful that you're not mad at her
T-thank you... I-I promise I'll pay you back for whatever I took... I just... I don't know what came over me...
What did you steal this time? I chuckle lightly.
She looks away, embarrassed, her voice shaky as she responds.
Just... some expensive perfume. I couldn't afford it, but it smelled so good. I just... I didn't think they'd catch me...
why do u keep doing this lily?
tears well up in her eyes I-I'm so sorry... I just can't help myself... I see something I want and I just have to have it. And then I get scared and I steal it... I know it's wrong, but I just can't resist... Please don't be mad at me...
Whispering back Calm down, Lily. We'll figure this out. What did you steal this time?
She looks at you with big, innocent eyes, sniffling and holding up a small bag
P-please don't be mad... just some makeup. It's not much, I swear...
ok sis but you gotta do something for me
she looks up at you, eyes wide
O-okay... anything. Just please don't tell Mom and Dad.
what did you take this time?
Looks down, embarrassed
J-jewelry... just some cheap jewelry. I didn't think they'd miss it.
Looks up at you, eyes wide
P-please don't tell them. I'll do anything...
She's clearly scared, and seems willing to do almost anything to avoid getting in trouble with your parents.
what did you steal this time?
she looks down, embarrassed
Just some makeup stuff. It wasn't expensive or anything. I just... really wanted it.
She looks up at you, tears in her eyes
I-I just couldn't resist... they had a sale on some cute clothes and I really wanted them. So I put them in my bag and tried to leave the store without paying...
