Harriette looked at me.
"What is it?"
"Well, all three of us did something different but for the first time... which pissed dad off..." I said.
"Like me when I got a tattoo?" Harriette asked.
"He got sooo mad." I said.
"Also when Cj got her ears pierced by Uma. Dad got furious." Harry said.
"Or when you were dating a Northsider AKA Mal." I said and Harry's expression changed.
"You just had to start about her huh?"
"Sorry..."
"Oh sush, you're dating Uma now. Get over Mal." Harriette said.
"So wjo goes first with the first time and pissing off?" I asked.
"I'll go, since I did it before you two did." Harriette said.

Harriette pov, 05-03-2013, age 16:
So I just got a tattoo on my hand, sure it hurt a bit but I didn't care.
I got home and showed it to my siblings.
"That is so cool!" Cj said.
Harry rolled his eyes.
"You know dad will kill you, right?"
"Shut up."
"Or are you gonna hide it with a glove?" he asked teasingly.
"Hide what with a glove?" our dad asked and I put my hand slowly in my pocket.
"Nothing." Cj said, good girl.
Harry smirked and I looked at him.
"Don't you dare..." I whispered.
"Yea... Nothing. Except for Harriette's new tattoo!"
"I'll kill you!" I said.
Our dad looked at me.
"You got a tattoo?"
"Maybe. So what? It's my body."
"Well if you think it was such a good idea then why are you hiding?"
I could hear he hated the idea ans that he would punish me, but I wasn't going to show my fear, so I showed my hand.
I saw Harry was hoping that I got punished and Cj clearly didn't know what to think.
"Well...?" I said.
My dad looked at me.
"Come with me."
Oh boy...
Dad walked to his office and Harry looked at me.
"You're in so much trouble..."
"I thought we'd hace each others backs you backstabber!" I sissed, it seemed to make an impression and I walked to dad.

"You're going to punish me aren't you?" I asked as I entered his office.
So dad wasn't in the mood for talking so I knew I messed up, like major messed up.
"Father, talk to me." I said.
"Did you talk to me when you had that ridiculous idea?"
"So you're not mad that I did this but that I didn't tell you?"
"Oh no, I don't care about the talking."
He grabbed my hand and put it on his desk, I saw he had a knife in his other hand and I got a bit scared.
"Father what the hell?!"
"You'll not walk around with that!"
He was about to cut my hand off, as rhe idiot who threw me for the bus grabbed dads arm.
"Yea, not gonna happen." Harry said and he made dad drop the knife.
I got my hand back and Harry looked at me.
"You were right... I should've had your back."
"Oh you're just a jerk it's fine." I said.
Then dad kicked Harry in his... well let's not talk about that... And he grabbed his sword which he launched at me.
"Never go against me again, you ubderstand!?" and he just left.
I helped Harry up.
"Are you okay?"
"Sure..."
"Liar."
"A 'thank you' could be there too y'know."
"You threw me for the buss and pulled me out, I'm not thanking you."
"Fair enough."
"So we're still the Hook team?" Cj asked as she walked in.
"Of course." I said.
"Just not always but yea." Harry said and Cj smiled.

Harriette pov, 27-02-2020 (present), age 23:
"That was one of the most insane ideas of dad." I said.
"Yea, when you reminded me about that he kicked me in my... y'know... I could almost feel that again."
"Stop whining he wanted to cut off my f*cking hand because you threw me for the bus."
"I apologised!" Harry sais and Cj grinned.
"Me next with my first time blunder?" she asked.
"Sure." Harry said.

Cj pov, 26-01-2018, age 10:
I walked to Uma's place, I knew Harry was out for the day to go stealing just like Harriette and well I had some plans of my own.
Uma looked at me as I walked in.
"Your brother isn't here." she said.
"Actually, I'm here for you."
"You are?"
"Celia said you were the one who pierced her ears."
"Ah. I get it. 10 gold pieces."
"Ohw come on. I only have six."
"Ohw who cares, I'll just get it off your brothers pay check, he wouldn't even notice."
"True."

So a while later I could stand again because I lost a lot of blood but it was done and I was fine.
So I walked home and apparently my older siblings were already home. I covered my ears (and cheap earrings) with my hair.
They looked at me.
"Where have you been?" Harry asked.
"Oh nowhere." I said and I stroke my hair away.
"Nice going little sister!" Harriette said.
Then she turned to Harry.
"You better not throw her for the bus like you did to me when I got a tattoo." she said and Harry nodded quickly.
Then he looked at me.
"Uma?"
"Yep."
"Knew it."
"What in the devils name did you do?!" our dad yelled.
"Oh f*ck..." I muttered.
But yea, our dad just ripped the earrings out my ears, making them bleed like shit.

I probably passed out because I woke up again with my older siblings yelling at our dad and me just laying on the floor.
And yea, IT HURT!
So yea, our dad left and returned after a wrek, pretending like nothing happend.
So we did the same, well we tried.

Harry pov, 27-02-2020 (present), age 17:
"To be honest, I was suprised he didn't beat us up." I said.
"I still have scars on my ears because of him..." Cj said.
"Yea, dad was way out of line." Harriette said.
"He always was when we did something he didn't like." I said.
"Like when yiu dated Mal..." Cj muttered.
I looked at her and she sighed.
"Sorry..." she said.
"It's fine. Harriette's right. I'm dating Uma now so yea..."
Harriette put a hand on my shoulder.
"So you got over it in like an hour?"
"Funny. I guess I just had to realise or something..."
"Anyways, are we gonna talk about your bad impression to dad with Mal or should we talk about something else?" Cj asked.
