Being grounded hasn't effected Josie's schedule too much. The brunette never really invited friends over or hung out with them a lot outside of school anyways. The only thing that sort of bothered her was not being able to have her phone while at home.
But Josie knew what she, Hope, and Lizzie did was bad. If she had kids and they snuck out to a party and got drunk she'd probably be just as mad.
One of the nice things about being grounded was she got to spend even more time with Hope. Without the electronics and other fun activities they used to do they had come up with new fun ideas. Hope and Josie had recently started a new hobby together which was doing puzzles! and they actually enjoyed them surprisingly.
The two had recently found some of Hope's old puzzles she had stored in a box in the attic that she never really opened or acknowledged so every day they'd try and complete one.
"Gross another puzzle?" Lizzie said walking into the kitchen. The couple where at the dining room table with a puzzle scattered all over it and a bag of pretzels by them "what are you two? 50?"
Josie rolled her eyes and looked through the different pieces "I found his eye" she said grabbing the piece and putting it into place and Hope gave her a high-five.
"Where's your mom?" Lizzie said grabbing a yogurt from the fridge.
"She said she was going to get takeout for us," Hope said still concentrating on finding the puzzle piece she needed. As hearing her the brunette walked through the door with two bags filled with takeout from a Chinese restaurant that was near the house.
"Hope you didn't ruin your appetite I got good," Hayley said setting the bags on the table and unpacking them. She handed each girl their own takeout box. Josie accepted it gratefully "thank-you Ms.Marshall."
"Call me Hayley honey."
"You're my girlfriend's mother... I think I prefer calling you Ms. Marshall... it's a lot more respectful" Josie said moving the last bit of their puzzle pieces out of the way so everyone could use the table to eat. They all sat down and began eating "how was school?"
"It was fine," Hope said twirling her noddles.
"Did you do anything?"
"I got promoted to the team watergirl because of my stupid broken arm," she said tapping on the cast with her good hand. Hayley gave her daughter a look "that will teach you not to leave to a party and get drunk."

When classes ended and it was time for soccer practice Hope and Josie made their way to the soccer field for the brunette's practice.
Hope sat down on the bleachers and set her bag down. She couldn't do anything since she had a broken arm so she took out a marker and began to doodle on her cast.
Josie made her way out on to the field with her team mates who where all huddled together while their coach stood in-front of them "I'm so proud of you all, you have worked so hard this soccer season... we are going to states and I have so much confidence in you all."
"With that being said I want you to work hard today, you're in the same position I set you in since you all are best at them," Stefan said and the girls nodded and ran out onto the field.
Josie out on her red vest and took her place on the field. When Coach Stefan blew the whistle she started running across the field and took the ball from Maya who was attempting to make a goal. She ran and kicked it to Finch who kicked it back to her. Josie kicked it into the goal. She smiled to herself and heard Hope cheering her on from the bleachers.
God, she loved this game.

"You did good out there" Hope kissed her cheek and gave the brunette water. Josie took a big sip of the water before putting it back in the holder "no better than I usually do."
"That's not true."
"Yeah it is" she chuckled "now let's get back to your house... your mom texted she wanted to speak to me about something."

When they made it into the house Hope and Josie dropped off their bags at the front door. Hayley was sitting on the couch reading her book which she soon closed when she saw all three girls walk into the house.
"Hope, can you give me a moment with the twins?" Hayley said and the teen just slowly nodded before making her way to her room.
Lizzie and Josie sat on the couch across from the woman "everything okay?"
"Yes, everything is okay I just wanted to let you know I've set you up weekly appointments with a therapist."
"Wait what?" Josie said.
"I know you're doing a lot better than you where... but I genuinely care about you girls and I want to make sure you are okay so I set you up appointments for therapy, you only have to do it once a week for an hour that's all I'm asking."
Well, it's not like she could say no she was living in this woman's house. Josie just silently nodded at the woman.
"Thank you, Hayley, I've been wanting to talk to one for awhile," Lizzie said giving her a small smile.
