Mackenzie keeps her eyes closed, feeling the sun on her face and body.
-Aren't you gonna miss this? - The Swan sisters' mother asks, catching their attention who were taking in the sun. - Can't you just feel the vitammin D soaking up in your pores?
Mackenzie opens her eyes for a moment to look at her mother.
-Yeah, I am gonna miss this. - The brown haired girl admits, making her mother smile.
-You know, colleges in Florida are a lot more sunnier. - Renée says while taking a sip of her iced tea.
-We both presented for the University of Florida, mom. Even though Mackenzie presented for the University of Alaska and Seattle. - Bella says, putting a pair of sunglasses on.
-I'm just saying, if Mackenzie go to the Univeristy of Alaska or Seattle, I'm never gonna see her. - The mentioned one grimaces by hearing her mother's words.
-It all depends on if they accept me. They might accept me in the University of Florida. - Mackenzie says, looking at the sea, putting her sunglasses on. - Besides, the Haute Couture program of Seattle and Alaska are really great.
-You mean, Edward program? - Renée jokes while looking at her youngest daughter.
-Mom, I didn't present in the Universities of Alaska and Seattle for Edward. - Mack says, looking at her mother until looking back at Edward who's inside the house, looking at the girl.
-The way he watches you, Mack, it's like he's willing to leap in front of you and take a bullet or something. - Renée admits, getting her daughter's attention.
-Is that a bad thing? - Mackenzie asks, grimacing.
-No, it's an intense thing. You're different with him. - Renée points out. - You move, he moves. Like magnets.
-I don't know, mom. We're just... - Mack can't finish because her mother interrupts her.
-In love. I get it. I just want to make sure you and your sister make the right choices for you. You know, because you're the ones who are gonna have to live with them. - Mackenzie takes her sunglasses off at the same time as Bella. - All right, enough with the heavy.
Renée stands up and boops Mackenzie's nose before running into the house. Mack looked at her sister, confused who shrugged, also confused.
-Congraduation. - The woman says, returning with two boxes.
The Swan sisters look back at their mother and, with a smileon their faces, starts shaking their heads. Bella stands up and sits by her twin's side while Mack sat up.
-Mom, we didn't want you to spend any of your money. - Both twins say in unison, receiving the present from their mother.
-Didn't spend a single cent. - Renée admits, making her daughters smile.
Both girls open their presents at the same time, realising it's two quilts.
-Now I know why you always bought two t-shirts when you travelled. - Mackenzie jokes.
-They're all the trip t-shirts? - Bella asks excitedly, admiring the first loog she noticed.
-Mmm-hmm. I kept them all. I made two quilts. One for each. - Renée explains, helping Mackenzie spread the quilt. - They'll keep you warm in Alaska in case you're accepted.
-Remember this one? - Bella asks, smiling while pointing at a logo.
-Ensenada. - Renée smiles.
-The snake pit. - Mackenzie laughs.
-But this one is my favourite. - Renée says, starting to search one by one on Mackenzie's quilt until finding it. - The three-headed lobster from Maine.
-This is amazing, mom. - Mack admits, suddenly feeling a knot in her throat.
-Aw, honey. I though that, when you have kids, you could add more to it. Maybe go visit the world's largest ketchup bottle. - The youngest twin looks at Bella who gives her half a smile.
The Swan girls place their presents aside at the same time before hugging their mother.
-Thanks, mom. It's perfect. - Mack admits, strongly closing her eyes.
-I'm glad you like it. Just wanted you to have a little piece of me in college. - The woman admits, making both of her daughters feel bad.
-Mom. - Bella says with a broken voice.
-Yeah? - Renée asks, confused by her daughter's voice tone.
-We miss you. - Mackenzie admits, also having a broken voice.
-Oh, my babies, I miss you both, too. - Renée says, rubbing her daughter's backs.
The three of them pull away from the hug but the woman takes her daughters by the hands.
-Never fight for a man, it's not worth it. - The woman affirms.
-If you're saying it because of Edward, you don't need to worry about it. - Bella smiles while looking at her sister.
-Bella's dating Jacob. - Mackenzie reveals, pushing her twin with her shoulder while smirking.
-Really?! - Renée asks excitedly.
-Yeah, we started dating since three months ago, I think. - Bella smiles.
-Oh, you don't how happy I am by hearing that, darling. - Renée smiles. - It makes me so happy to know both of my daughters have sombody in their lives that make them happy.
Mackenzie smiles and rests her head on her sister's shoulder.

The Cullen family finds itself gathered at a point in the forest of Forks. They all stay in silence while looking attentively at their surroundings.
-Are you sure this is where you saw her, Alice? - Carlisle asks the pixie haired who's been staying silent but nods.
-She's almost here. - Alice affirms, looking around.
They all stay quiet once more until Alice gets tense.
-On your left! - The whole family starts running in the indicated direction, following the red haired vampire.
Emmett takes her by the shoulder and before he could stop her, he feels how the girl takes him by the arm, throwing him away. Victoria jumps over a lake and looks behind her, realising that the Cullens stopped on their tracks.
-She's in their territory. - The Cullen father says before continuing to run on the right along with his family
-She'll get away! - Esme screams, running by Jasper's side.
Immediately, three wolves appear to try and hunt the intruder that's in their territory.
-No she won't! - Jasper screams back.
Before the wolves are able to catch the red haired, she jumps to the other side with agility, being persecuted by Emmett and Jasper. The blonde guy takes an impulse to approach her but she dodges him, making him fall to the ground, growling with anger. Emmett keeps running, without thinking he's close enough to cross to the wolf territory.
-Emmett, no! - Rosalie orders, but it was too late, and her partner was already jumping to the wolf territory, but he's stopped by Paul in his wolf form.
Emmett falls to the water and glares at the wolf who snarls as an answer. Victoria smiles by watching the scene before continuing on her way.
Well, bitches, tomorrow I'm returning to Peru so I'll post next chapter in a while because maybe I won't be able to after I'm back home. But if I do have time, I will update.
