Legacies Imagines

I'll stand by you- Saltzman Twins

15 year old Josie paces around her room nervously as she awaits her sisters arrival, like she's been doing for the last hour. Penelope, Josie's new and first girlfriend, sat patiently on Josie's bed and watches as the girl paces the
room anxiously.

"Jojo, she's gonna be fine with us." Penelope reassures.

"You don't know that! Maybe she's secretly really homophobic and she'll never want to see me again!" Josie cries out in panic, her eyes wide.
Penelope walks over to Josie and wraps her arms around her, soothing her softly.

"Breathe, baby." Penelope coos which makes Josie sigh and take a few deep breaths, leaning against her girlfriend. "There. Everything will be okay."

When they hear the door open, Josie springs away from Penelope and smiles widely at her sister.

"Hi!"

Lizzie smiles confusedly. "Hi?" She shuts the door cautiously. "Why are you so happy?"

"We need to talk."

Lizzie frowns. "I don't know what he told you, but he was bleeding when I got there."

"What?" Josie asks.

"What?"

"...ok." Josie shakes her head.

"What's up?" Lizzie asks and sits on her bed.

"Lizzie, this is Penelope. Penny, this is Lizzie." Josie introduces which makes Lizzie frown.

"Uhh, Jo? We've already met. Like two years ago." Lizzie reminds. "She's here all the time."

"Yes, but you know her as my friend." Josie takes a deep breath. "Lizzie, this is Penelope, my girlfriend."

Lizzie doesn't even bat an eyelash. "Ok."

"O-Ok?" Josie stutters. "Did you hear what I said?"

"Yeah, she's your girlfriend." Lizzie nods. "How long?"

Josie gapes in shock whilst Penelope answers.
"A couple weeks." Penelope tells her.

"Cute." Lizzie smiles. "You okay, Jo?"

"That's it? No shock or reaction?" Josie asks.

"Josie, it's the 21st century, everyone is gay, or bi, or pan. Plus, I've known for a while now that you like girls, I was just waiting for you to tell me. You're still my sister, no matter who you love, love doesn't have a gender, and you shouldn't be scared to tell anyone." Lizzie tells her softly. "I'm happy for you."

Josie sobs in relief and throws her arms around her sister. "I was so worried you were a closeted homophobe!"

Lizzie giggles. "I'm not all about that vag business, I prefer a good ol' dick, but I'd sleep with a girl."

"Lizzie!" Josie exclaims and pulls away in shock whilst her sister just shrugs.

"What?" Lizzie asks.

"Just because you're not a virgin and you have no morals, doesn't mean Penelope wants to hear about your sex-capades." She scolds.

"It's fine, Jojo." Penelope reassures.

"Don't worry, Jo, she'll get used to it." Lizzie says playfully before turning serious. "I'm happy for you, Josie, I don't care if you're in love with a girl or a boy, you're still my sister. No matter what, I'll stand by you."

Josie blinks away her tears and hugs her sister again. "I love you."

"I love you too."
