-I'd leave with me tonight-

Nine

Josie's hands were placed on the sink as she was trying her hardest to contain herself. She knew what just happened but she didn't exactly know why. Yes she definitely liked it but it was too much for the actress.

The brunette ran the water and flipped some on her face to somehow wake her up from this 'Terrible' nightmare.

"Hey, Jo. Are you okay?" Hope walked into the kitchen and walked over to the fridge.

Josie watched how she just opened the fridge without a care in the world. The auburn haired turned over to Josie as she took a sip of her beer.  "What the hell, hope?" Josie muttered as she turned the water off

"What? What did I do?" She asked as she took another sip of her beer. "I only came in here for some beer."

"You can't just keep doing those things! This is the second time in front of a group of people. You don't think that maybe we'll get caught? Or that maybe this is a bad idea as you said?"

A frown was visible on Hope's lips, "Maybe I was wrong, Maybe we shouldn't care what people think."

Josie shook her head as she ran her things through her hair, "You are so confusing. What's next? Are you going to call it all off tomorrow? I can't do it Hope, I deserve better than this, and you know that." She started to make her exit as Hope stopped her.

The auburn haired girl took a deep breath, "This is new, and I'm still trying to figure this all out. Please give me time. I know it's a lot to ask from you but I want to at least get comfortable with telling everyone because you are no secret to be hidden." Hope admits as she looks down at the ground.

The brunette face heated up as she quickly turned away. "O..okay." She stuttered out. She felt like an idiot the way she was embarrassing herself.

"Are you two done?" Lizzie said as she stood in the door way.

Josie quickly pulled away as Hope frowned once again. She couldn't help but to feel sad but it was nothing she could do.

—"done with what?" Josie asked as she moved a string of hair behind her ear.

"Done with flirting, or making out, or having make up sex, whatever the fuck you were doing, are you done?" The blonde crossed her arms.

Hope eyes widened just as Josie's but the brunette actress covered it up shortly as she grabbed Lizzie's arm. "Let's go."

"You didn't answer my question!" Lizzie glared at Hope as she was being dragged out. "Oh y'all both just some fre-"

The door shut as Hope was left to herself as she chuckled a bit.

If she thought about it, some day Lizzie could be her sister in law, and she didn't like that thought at all.

But that was thinking too much into the future. Hope didn't even know what she wanted to do with her life now. How the hell was she supposed to plan out a future?

-

"Hey Josie, what the hell took you so long?" Jed asked as he unpaused the show.

Josie sent everyone an apologetic smile as she sat back in the seat she was in before.

Lizzie glared at her sister before turning towards the tv.

Once Hope walked in with beers and handed it to everyone. "Here Lizzie." She said at last.

The blonde snatched the beer and turned back to the tv. "We're going to talk later." She muttered making it so that only Hope heard her.

"Yeah yeah" Hope rolled her eyes before sitting back next to Josie.

As everyone turned their attention back to the tv, Hope intertwined her fingers with Josie's.

Josie looked down at their hands as a smile crept on her face.

-

Soon the show ended and everyone started to make their ways back to their houses.

Josie told them that she wasn't up for hanging out tonight and that she was going to head to bed early.

Lizzie didn't believe that shit, she stayed as everyone left. But just before Hope left, she stopped her.

"What's going on with you and my sister? You guys are so obvious that it hurts."

Hope stopped as she turned to face the blonde, "Listen, this isn't really much of your business-"

"She's my sister and I don't want to see her hurt, so yeah it really is my business." Lizzie crossed her arms

Hope sighed as she ran her hands through her hair. "I'm glad that Josie has someone that cares about her this much, but I'm not going to hurt Josie. She knows where I stand and I know where she stands about us. I just don't need you going to tell the population because that wouldn't be very real of you."

"I don't mean to come off as harsh because honestly it's just my personality but I really don't want to see her hurt and you've been in this state where you've been lying to yourself and telling yourself that you are this straight girl and obsessing over Landon. I've seen the signs before and I don't want that for jo, she doesn't need that."

"I understand, and I'm not here to just take advantage of her because she's sweet to me and leave. I'm here because I want this for us. I really want to try I just have to figure things out with myself, I'm sure that won't even take long, my heart already knows but my mind is blocking me from realizing." Hope says as her eyes shot over to josie who was just walking out of the house.

"Are you staying, Lizzie?" Josie yelled from the porch.

The blonde nodded and sent Hope a small smile. "I'll tell my sister you sent her hugs and kisses." She says before heading back over to her sister.

Hope rolled her eyes before looking back at Josie. She waved and smiled.

Josie blushed before she waved goodbye and walked back into her house with her sister.
