Josie's POV Finally, Lizzie lets go of Penelope and she turned around walking towards us. "Jo, I want to talk to you about something." she says softly sitting on my bed, as I turn my attention to her. She looks nervous for some reason. "I have to go, see you later ladies. Take care, jojo" Penelope says,as she puts her phone back into her jeans back pocket before turning on her heels and walking out of my room. "Text me, Pen!" Lizzie yells at her and I hear Penelope's voice through the hallway "I will!" "So what do you want to talk about?" I ask Lizzie tilting my head. She looks very nervous for some reason. She takes a deep breath before releasing it. Hope is sitting right next to me. She grabs one of my hands before grabbing one of Hope's hand and intertwining it with hers. Hope smiles softly at her holding her hand back. Oh, so this is what she is nervous about. "Listen Jo, I know Hope is your best friend and I am your sister but I wanted you to hear it from us instead of anyone else, I really like Hope, I have liked her for a long time but I guess I was too afraid to get rejected or that this might someway affect your relation with her, I would never want you or Hope hurt." she says all in one breath and thats when I notice Hope softly starts to rub her thumb across Lizzie's hand as she shifts her position to sit up straight looking at me. "I really like her Josie, but that doesn't mean that it will affect my friendship with you in anyway. I just feel so happy being around her and like Lizzie said we didn't want you to hear it from anyone else, I just hope you're okay-" I don't even let Hope finish as I cut her off saying "I am Team Hizzie" Both of them look at me confused as I roll my eyes and laugh slightly. "Team what now?" Hope asks me curiously. "You and Lizzie, Hope plus Lizzie is equal to Hizzie, it's your ship name, and guys as long as you are both happy and want to give this a shot who am I to hold you guys back? You guys being happy matters to me more than anything." I finish smiling softly at them. "Thank you Jo, you're the best" I hear Hope say as Lizzie hugs me and says "Thank you, babysis" I just roll my eyes at that. "I might take it back now" Lizzie laughs and gets up quickly from my bed to leave "I'll see you around, gorgeous" she says grinning as she bends down to kiss Hope on the cheek and Hope gets as red as a tomato. As soon as Lizzie leaves I throw a pillow at Hope's head. "Oww, what was that for?" Hope asks me putting her hand on her head. "For not telling me THAT, now spill" I say excitedly jumping as I turn my body to face her.
Hope's POV I am so happy right now as I am telling Josie about all that happened between me and Lizzie last night, how she poured out her heart onto me and it was all so romantic. I hear my phone buzz and my lips automatically form a smile as I see who texted me.

I am so excited for this.
Lizzie's POV As excited as I am, I am so nervous, I can't mess this up. I am planning the perfect date for Hope. I know this Art Museum a few miles from our house and I want to take Hope there. She loves Art and I just want everything to be perfect. Through my nervousness, I didn't even realise there was just an hour left before I had to go and pick up Hope. I quickly got ready and I am very satisfied by my look. On my way to her house, I picked up a bouquet of white roses, her favourite. You got this. I remind myself as I pull upto her house. Here goes nothing.
