Olivia Swan was the older twin of Bella Swan.
She was the life of the party.
She was a daddy's girl.
She brought smiles to the faces of everyone she knew.
Until a year ago, when something no one knows about completely destroyed her into a numb a...

"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president...Or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!" Jessica tells the crowd of graduating teenagers and angsty parents.
Olivia looks around in slight awe.
A few years ago, she never would have dreamed of making it this far. She had no plans, she never wanted to make plans because she always assumed she wouldn't be here to see them through.
But here she was.
Sat in a small crowd of her peers. Each of them holding a different story, preparing for the next steps of their life.
"This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, it's the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train, and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love... a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent..."
Olivia looks beside her where her twin sister sits knowing she may be making a life changing decision, hard and fast, that was in no way temporary. Her sister has always been that way though, all in or nothing at all.
"So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be... we won't have to guess. We'll know."
Olivia walks up to the podium as they announce her name and her face turns a cherry red. Between the packs wolf whistles and the Cullen boys hollering she was completely embarrassed. But she'd be lying if she said it didn't make her feel good that she had so much love surrounding her. She used to think it was a bad thing, it would only hurt you in the end.
Maybe she was right.
But as she looked out into the crowd she saw Jaspers beaming smile, Charlie clapping ecstatically, Edwards smirk, Paul with his hands cupping his mouth, Sam's rare grin... She realized she wouldn't trade them for the world.
How could you be grateful for love if you had never experienced a little hurt?
Olivia joins Bella at the door of the Cullen's home that was currently filled to the brim with crazy teenagers running off the high of graduation. Alice per usual had outdone herself and made it a night no graduate would forget.
Jacob, Quil, Embry, and Paul flank one another as they tensely survey the home.
"What are you doing here?" Bella rudely questions the wolf as Olivia pulls Paul into a hug, soon doing the same with the rest of the boys aside from Jacob.
"You invited me, remember?" Jacob cockily replies.
"Was my right hook too subtle for you? That was me uninviting you." She glares.
