Losing her entire family was hard enough on Josephine Cohen, but to lose them, upend her life in Boston to live in Beacon Hills, and move in with her infamous cousin Lydia Martin all within a month's time didn't make it any easier.

"Hoosiers is not only the best basketball movie ever made, it is the best sports movie ever made!"
"Hm...no,"
"It's got Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper!"
"Once again...no-"
"For the love of god, how did I get roped into this?"
Lydia and Jackson both ignored the groans from Josie as she laid across the backseat of Jackson's Porsche, wanting to be literally anywhere but where she currently was. How she somehow managed to get dragged along to their movie night, where they were currently arguing over Hoosiers or The Notebook. Truthfully, Josie didn't give two shits about either movie and would've literally preferred doing homework than being here in this moment.
"Lydia, I swear to god you're going to like it," Jackson tried to reason with her stubborn cousin through gritted teeth.
"No,"
"I am NOT watching The Notebook again!" Jackson closed his eyes to calm himself for a moment before looking into the backseat at Josie. "For the love of god, help me out here?"
Josie took one glance at Jackson, and then to Lydia's gaze in the rear view mirror, before sending Jackson a tense smile.
"Going to have to vote for The Notebook here. Now please hurry along, this parking lot is so empty it's creeping me out,"
Jackson mumbled something about the two girls under his breath as he got out of his car, slamming the door and walking into the video store with pure annoyance radiating off of him. Josie sat up in the back seats, leaning up between the two front seats of the car so she could actually see Lydia, who was already looking at her.
"Stop complaining about movie night with us, you've got to get out and do things more," she tried to argue to her cousin, applying a layer of lip gloss in the reflection of her phone screen.
"Yeah, I agree, but third wheeling your movie night isn't entirely what I had in mind for getting out and doing things, you know," Josie tried to reason with her, sitting back slightly in the seat as her cousin also turned the music up a little louder in the car.
"You complain too much," Lydia commented as a lot of the outdoor lights in the parking lot and on the building seemed to turn off. Josie eyed it cautiously, but chalked it up to faulty wiring and focused back on Lydia. "I'm just trying to get you comfortable-"
Screams elicited from both of the girls as the main glass windows of the video store shattered into pieces, something large running past their vehicle. Lydia continued to scream as Josie whipped her head around, throwing open the door of the Porsche and hopping out into the deserted parking lot.
Josie could barely hear Lydia's mumbling from the car, her own heartbeat echoing in her ears. Her head whipped around to the tree line across the road, the direction in which whatever had shattered the window had run off to.
