Maybe, Someday (Hosie, Legacies)

Always and Forever || part-2

They walked down the hallway as the pack of well dressed tribrids that they were. MG was waiting for them by the staircase. His eyes found Lizzie's as they approached.

"You look gorgeous." He said as he bowed and extended a single rose toward her.

Lizzie took it happily and hugged him. Then she kissed his cheek and let him hold her hand as they walked together down the stairs.

"Well...looks like he really does only have eyes for her." Penelope commented. "I look hot and he didn't even spare a glance at me."

Hope stared at her. "Did you want him to?"

Penelope smirked at shook her head. "It would have been nice, but I don't need his validation to know my worth."

Hope smiled at her. "You do look amazing. But you already know that."

Penelope's smile turned soft.

"You both look beautiful." Josie told them. "Can we go dance now?"

"Nope. Not just yet." Penelope told her before dismissing herself and running to her room. She came back with a two, long stem roses. "I know it's Valentine's Day and you have each other, but I really appreciate you letting me crash your day."

She gave them each a rose. "And Josie, you look beautiful, too. You're always the best of us."

Josie smiled at her as she accepted the rose. She pulled Penelope into a hug and kissed her cheek.

"Hope and I have a card for you. We'll give it to you later. But thank you." Josie told her as she pulled away.

Hope duplicated Josie's actions. After they brought their roses to Hope's room and put them away for safe keeping; the three of them descended the stairs together. Penelope had helped with the decorating a little so she knew what to expect. But Hope was blown away by the detail that Lizzie and Caroline put into the event. She shouldn't have underestimated them, but she was still impressed.

"Wow. Lizzie really outdid herself this time." Josie exhaled proudly. "I'm so proud of her."

Hope led her girls to the dance floor were Lizzie, MG and Kaleb owned the room. She was also not at all surprised that her Aunt Rebekah was dancing already. Caroline, Bonnie and Elena were out there as well, which made Josie scream with glee. She ran to them when she saw them and hugged Bonnie and Elena with pure joy. Hope watched them contentedly before her eyes drifted to her aunt.

"Go, dance with her. She'll love it." Penelope told her as she joined Lizzie and the boys.

Hope smiled at her and took Penelope's advice. She wandered over to Rebekah.

"Hey..." Hope greeted her.

"Hey! Your girlfriends look great." Rebekah told her with a smirk before pulling her into a hug. "And you look really happy."

"I am." Hope replied with honesty.

"I'm glad, little wolf." Rebekah said as she pulled out of the hug. "Now, dance with me!"

So Hope did. Soon, everyone was dancing together and Hope was laughing and having a great time. She looked around the room and the sight of everyone she cared about the most in the world overwhelmed her. She couldn't believe this was her life. She had friends and a family. She had a girlfriend and a pack. She had this school. These people. Her entire life was in this room.

Soon, the music slowed down and her eyes met Josie's.

"Can I have this dance?" Hope actually curtsied as she stupidly extended her hand to her girlfriend.
