It was the next day. The day after Eli had confessed his feelings for Kenzie and then it moved onto a kiss.
Mackenzie woke up with a clear memory of last nights occurrence and she couldn't help but smile. She sat up in her bed, her bed hair sticking out like crazy.
"Morning baby." Faith crept the door open, it squeaking as she did, "So why did you come home late last night?"
It wasn't ever usual for Mackenzie to come home late. The latest she'd stay out for was fifteen minutes before dinner.
"Oh.." She furrowed her brows. It didn't occur to her that she'd have to confess for what happened. Especially when she'd have to tell her brother.
"So?" A smile widened on her mother's lips.
Faith moved further into the room, perching herself on the edge of Kenzie's bed. She tilted her head to the side and observed the girl's flushed face.
"You were with a boy, weren't you?" She teased.
Kenzie let out a nervous laugh, trying to hide the fact that she was being totally called out. "What? No." She tried playing it off cool, but it was clear as day that she was lying.
Faith raised a brow, clearly not buying any of what her daughter was saying. After all, they'd been through together — she knew her too well.
"Are you trying to lie to me, Mackenzie Alexopoulos?" She smiled mischievously. "So... care to tell me who this boy was?"
With her heart still pounding from the events of the previous night, Kenzie paused for a brief second. Through a gentle exhale, she realised she couldn't hide this from her mother any longer.
"It was Eli." In a low voice, she admitted.
Faith's eyes sprang wide with shock the moment Mackenzie said the name. The quiet shy boy that the twins had known since forever.
"Eli.. as in— as in Demetri's best friend, Eli?" She just needed to confirm if she had heard correctly, and Kenzie nods shyly.
"That's great!" Faith beamed. Mackenzie found her mother's reaction surprisingly. She thought she would've been angry or upset with it but she wasn't.
She was truly happy for her daughter.

"You've trained hard." Johnny says in a bright tone standing on top of a broken down car, "You've gotten stronger, tougher, faster. You've done your best."
