Babysitter or lover? Hosie

part 12

Josie's POV
"lizzie?"

"hey josie come here"

my heart was racing as soon as i saw lizzie there would be no need for her to be here i mean it's ridiculous, we aren't on the best of terms

"And you must be hope right?"

hope stood up faster than i have ever seen her get up which she shouldn't be but she looked like a nervous wreck

"hi yes i'm hope, hope mikealson"

"nice to meet you im lizzie josie's sister"
Hopes hand was sweating and i already knew, the way she was shaking lizzie's hand was a whole wreck itself and i feel bad because i know she wants her to love her

as confused as i was i still didn't forget about hopes injury and led her to sit down while i brang my sister into the kitchen

"why are you here lizzie" the tone of my
voice was subtle as it could be i didn't want hope thinking there was anything wrong

"I can't say hi to my sister anymore or come visit?" her little smirk is what pissed me off because if she was gonna hurt hope or do something i'd legitimately go crazy

"Of course but i know that's not the only reason" I replied

"Listen, Mom knows"

my heart dropped, Knew what? i had so many things that i was hiding i didn't even know where to start

"knows what lizzie.."

"hope." the way her voice was emotionless when she said that i knew she wasn't joking of course she knew about hope, but as the babysitter where did this come into equation?

"well yes she's the babysitter"

"she looked more than just a babysitter when i walked in josie" Although my sister is dumb she sure is funny sometimes and we aren't on the best terms but she's still my best friend

"haha Yes whatever we may have something going on but what does mom have to do about that?"

lizzie's smile dropped and she looked me dead in the eye and i wasn't prepared for anything she said next

"she knows about everything, The shooting, it was all over the news that was her final straw, She's mad josie very mad, she's mad she had all this news to talk to and do now about what happened that night, Not to mention the pictures of you in the hotel with hope, not to mention the
pictures taken at the house of the police cars it isn't a good look and i'm here to warn you"

my heart wasn't feeling good at all at this point it's feeling like i've been shot instead, my heart is at its breaking point i didn't even realize what the media was gonna take out of this i didn't realize that our family had to cover this up, what about landon? all these crazy thoughts were going through my head i didn't know what to do anymore

"Why would you wanna warn me?

"You act like maya and pedro don't still call me silly, they say you're in love, that's all i've ever wanted for you, happiness they said you've been the happiest and you're still my twin jo i love you and care about you, id never want you to loose somebody you love again. Please be careful, moms not gonna let this past, keep your head down and don't do anything stupid please"

my heart changed for lizzie at that moment of course she's my twin but ever since we drifted of course it's different but i forgot she's still my blood my twin i still love her to death and she loves me

"listen josie, she's not happy, at all, this could be very dangerous you know how mom is i'm worried about hope"

i looked at hope for a split second and my heart dropped, i would never want anything to happen to her
"lets talk in private lizzie"
