Forever ch7

Its been two years since paige's death, and a lot had changed around the Hale household.

Belle had been working a lot with Deaton, trying to get the upper hand on her powers. She has become very powerful but is currently working on having better control over it.

They had finally told their family that she was an Emissary, a very powerful emissary at that. The pack had been very concerned about Belle's safety after finding out. But Talia had assured them the she was in good hands.

Derek has changed a lot as well. He was no longer that sweet, caring, gentle boy he once was. No he was a lot harder, more brooding now. The only person that he allowed himself to drop the wall around was Belle. She was the only one who was allowed to see some of the old Derek at times.

There was a new student at Beacon Hill high her name is kate and Derek had fell head over heels for her. Belle hated her right off the bat. She didn't trust her one bit. She always got a bad feeling around her and Belle had learned from her experiences to always trust her instinct because they were never wrong.

Right now Belle was getting ready to go out with some friend. She was suppose to spend the day with Derek but he blew her off to be with kate. It really hurt Belle when he did that, more so that it did when he use to do it with paige. Belle decided that if derek was going to go out and enjoy himself with his b**** than she was going to do the same with her friends. After all her life does not revolve around Derek Hale

She was already done with her hair so she got started with the make-up. She didn't need to use a lot of it so she just opted on some eyeliner, a bit of mascara and her favorite cherry lip-gloss

When she was done she walked toward her closet trying to find something to wear. There was actually a boy that was coming to their outing, that Belle had a little crush on, so she wanted to make jaws drop tonight but was having a horrible time trying to find the outfit that would do just that.

Just when she was about give up Laura walked into the room."Hey you need some help there." she asked coming to stand next to Belle in her closet. Belle gave a sigh of relief "YES! I have no idea what to wear!" Belle exclaimed waving her hands in the air.

"Mmmmm is their anybody special you were hoping to impress tonight?" Laura asked giving Belle a sly grin. Belle Blushed and look at the ground before replying. "Maybe" was all she said and Laura squealed "oh my god this is technically your first date. What's his name, Oh I'm so excited. I have to find you the perfect outfit." Laura said excitedly

"His name is Mark and Its not a date Laura, we're just going out with our friends. Plus I didn't even tell him I like him, not that it will make a difference he would never like me." Belle mumbled. Laura looked down at Belle and smiled. "Sweetheart you have nothing to worry about. You are so incredibly beautiful, I mean look at you, you are just exquisite, from your golden skin, to your light blue eyes, to your light brown hair." Laura said while she made belle look in the full length mirror hoping she would see how gorgeous she really is. Belle was very insecure about herself. But she had no reason to be she was literally perfect in every way.

"After tonight you won't need to tell anyone anything, because they'll be the ones coming to you, they will be dropping at your feet. You need to come out of you shell honey and just have fun, sometimes we all just need forget some of the seriousness in our lives and just be normal for once you know." Laura smiled before pulling out a dress.

"This one is perfect. Go put it on, I think I got the perfect shoes to go with it." Laura said practically running out the room. Belle slipped off the white silk robe she had on. Underneath she had one of her more sexy underwear on. She quickly put on the dress and looked at the mirror. Laura had been right. This dress was perfect. It was a dark purple and had a tight fit around the top of her body but flowed out a little from her waist. It fell about 3 inches above her knees and was strapless.

"Wow you are gorgeous Belle" laura said before handing her the 3' black heels that she just got from her room. Belle took the shoes from laura and slipped them on. She stood up and gave laura a hug. "Thank you so much Laura. For everything." Belle said a little teary eyed. "You know I'd do anything for you, besides what kind of a pack sister would I be if I don't help you when you need me" Laura said returning the hug.

They just pulled apart when they heard the door bell ring. "Ill go let you friends in, while you finish up here." Laura smiled before racing downstairs. She got to the door and smiled at the teens standing there. "Hi come in, Belle should be down in a minute." Laura said as she ushered them into lounge. There were five of them. Three girls and two guys. All of them stared wide-eyed at the house. Probably haven't seen such a huge house in Beacon Hills before.

"I'm Laura by the way." She said as they reached the lounge. "Hi I'm kat and This is Ally, Hanna, Ken and my brother Mark." She said and they all smiled. They seem like nice kids. She approved. Her eyes went to mark and she inwardly squealed, she thought that him and belle would make such a cute couple.

"Sit down please. She'll be down in a bit" she said. They took a seat just as Peter walked in. "Aren't they a little to young for you laura." He scoffed and laura chuckled before replying. "These are Belle's friends. They are just waiting for her to finish getting ready so they can leave" she said and Peter immediately eyed the boys in there group. Ignoring the flirtatious looks the girls were giving him. Gosh why can't he attract women his own age.

Just then belle came down the steps and everybody in the room froze. She really was exotically beautiful. Laura smirked when she noticed Marks reactions. "Well well don't we look gorgeous today." Peter said coming to stand in front of her. "Thank uncle peter." Belle smiled at him. "No problem. Have fun and if you have any problems with dumb and dumber over there give me a call." He said referring to Ken and Mark. Belle giggled but nodded none the less.

They all got up ready to leave. Mark offer his arm to Belle and she blushed but accepted and together the all walked out towards the car, the driver opened the door as they got there. Laura smiled when she heard Mark tell Belle that she looked beautiful

Belle got home around 9:00pm that night. Everybody already was home from work or whatever else they spent their day doing and was just relaxing in the family room. Derek had just got home from seeing kate. Everybody except Peter and Laura froze when Belle walked into the room.

"Where the hell did you go dressed like that." Derek said shocking everybody. They all stared at him and then at Belle with similar smirks on their faces. "Well DAD I was out with my friends, do you have a problem with that?" Belle rolled her eyes and everyone chuckled.

Little Cayden waddled his way to his sister and the 3 year old held his arms up wanting Belle to pick him up which she did. "I tink you wook wery pwetty bel-bel" he said and Belle smiled. Bel-bel was the nick name Cayden had made for her. "Awe thank you munchken." Belle smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek

Derek turned towards Belle's father Dan and spoke "You let her go out with her friends in a dress that barely covers her.." he was saying before he was cut off by laura smacking him in the back of the head. "I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you." She said and Derek sighed.

"Yeah plus I'm sure that boy with the shaggy blond hair enjoyed the view. Right Belle?" Peter smirked and both Laura and Belle groaned "great" Belle mumbled glaring at peter. He just smiled innocently in return.

"What boy? U didn't tell me there was a boy involved. Did he hurt you? Are you okay?If he did anything inappropriate, just tell me and ill go rip his throat out." She said quickly running over to her and Derek smirked. "DADDY" Belle wined a little embarrassed at his reaction. Quickly sat down on the only available armchair ducking her head behind Cayden who was in her lap. "Thanks a lot uncle peter" Belle mumbled under her breath and peter smiled having heard her

"Alright Dan that enough of you drilling our daughter for one day its time for bed." Leah said as she pick up Cayden from Belle's lap and gave her a kiss on her forehead before she dragged her mate up the steps. Everyone followed deciding to hit the hay early as well and soon it was just Peter, Derek, Belle and Laura left.

"So now that everybody is gone tell me everything. Did you enjoy yourself? Did you guys kiss? Did he ask you out?" Laura asked excitedly and both Peter and Derek's eyes shot up at the word kiss and Belle looked at them nervously. "Oh don't worry about these idiots ill make sure they keep there mouths shut." Laura said. Peter rolled his eyes and Derek glared at laura

Belle blush but decided to answer anyway. Even though she knew how protective Peter was of her and probably would go and try to scare mark to death tomorrow, She knew she could trust all of them. "Well..he um kissed me. But he didn't ask me out yet" she mumbled look down. Laura squealed and Belle's cheeks got red.

Derek didn't say anything, he could help the pang of jealousy he felt at the thought of HIS Belle kissing someone else. He ignored it confused by where these feeling were coming from. And he hate the fact that he couldn't stop thinking about how good Belle looked in that dress, she really has grown up. He shook his head trying to get rid of these dangerous thoughts. Belle was his best friend and he couldn't afford to go down that road with her.
