set after season 2
(3x01 never happened in my book)

______ or ________

Full blown tears were streaming down Josie's face now. Her whole body shaking from her pent-up emotions. Lizzie swiftly pulled her sister closer to her and engulfed her in a bear hug; Josie clutching onto her sister for dear life.

Moments later however, Josie pushed her sister back abruptly, scurrying away from her. Practically falling off of the bed.

"No." She said wide eyed. "I don't deserve your empathy, Lizzie. I don't deserve any of this."

"Josie -" Lizzie started with an exasperated sigh, but Josie motioned for her to stop.

"Please, just go." She said through her sniffles, wiping her nose with her sleeve.

Lizzie hesitated, glancing between her twin and the door. With a final plea from Josie, Lizzie reluctantly stood up from her space on the bed and started walking to the door. Once her hand was on the door handle, she turned towards her sister.

"I love you, you know." Lizzie said emotionally.

"I do." Josie sniffled, wiping her nose again.
